Csons in Shropshire

I love this place. I've had lunch here before, but as I was staying overnight in Shrewsbury, I thought I'd treat myself to a breakfast here. The food was amazing. All locally sourced produce with a South American twist. The homemade brown sauce is well worth a try. I washed it all down with 2 cups of Americano, which was like the loveliest rocket fuel around. It's not the cheapest cooked breakfast I've ever had, but for around £20 certainly the tastiest and best quality, so a nice treat once in a while. The waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and clearly passionate about CSONS. My only complaint is there isn't a CSONS nearer where I live.

Eclectic mix of cuisines come together here with very tasty food. GF options.

We came to this restaurant for lunch on the recommendation of friends and were not disappointed in any way. Lovely food. A menu which suited our diet, pescatarian and one of us lactose intolerance. I always opt for the vegan choice to avoid any problems. Good service, great ambience. Would return when in Shrewsbury again.

A foodie’s delight - every mouthful of food delicious. Care and thought goes into every ingredient on the plate - no “fillers” here! Portions are generous and lots of vegetables used - I could eat here every day and be happy as such a good menu which changes often with available ingredients and the seasons. Been many times but still looking forward to my next visit!

Popped in for breakfast on a rainy Monday morning - had the tasty Scandinavian breakfast, which is 100% tasty and a healthy option. Excellent service, tidy place and lovely food.

Only visit Shrewsbury occasionally, and this was the second time for lunch. A year gap since the last visit, and thankfully consistent. Great food, fresh and really tasty. Love having a mix of small plates and sides.

Absolutely stunning food! Fresh and delicious, plenty of unique tasty options! While the food is special it is not pretentious, just very tasty! However, recent price rises has made it quite expensive. We are sadly unable to enjoy CSONS as often as we would like.

First time visiting this restaurant with family from the area who have been before. Amazing attention to detail from all the tastes in each dish and including plating that made us just want to feast our eyes. We loved the ability to have small plates for each dish, enabling us to try several dishes. What a treasure for Shrewsbury

During an extended stay in Shrewsbury we visited this restaurant ( & its sister in Ludlow) several times and loved it. The menu changes seasonally but you will always find interesting ideas and delicious food. Each small plate ( or larger if you prefer) is an explosion of flavours- the trickiest decision being which plates not to order as all look so tasty. We also love the house red wine! A cafe by day, the restaurant is not open every evening, so check the website and book ahead. Highly recommended.

Had a great breakfast there today. Met up with family. Very polite staff. Service spot on. Well priced. Dog friendly. Keep the good work up. Will definitely go back.

We usually come here for breakfast and we are always very happy with both food and service, Annie and Clarissa are absolutely wonderful!

Epic locally sourced food! 100% recommend

Great place for good food and convivial atmosphere.

Veggie breakfast was amazing. Lots of options, nice surrounding, service excellent!

Best place in town for breakfast

My wife and I are regular visitors for breakfast, at least once a week. Whilst there is a great choice we stick to our favourites of the Lebanese and best scrambled eggs you could hope for. The service team is excellent, very friendly and efficient, our favourite being the delightful Annie! Always very busy so booking is recommended, it has a relaxed setting and is very clean.

We had the best time at CSONS special morrocan evening. The food was amazing - we enjoyed it all . Very friendly staff who made visit so enjoyable . Great house wine to compliment our meal . We also appreciated an early meal time slot .

Amazing flavours in the food. Best cheesecake I've ever had

Nice staff. Well presented tasty food.

Their BLT is absolutely unreal!

Some of the best food ive tasted - Love it here!

10/10, super flavorful and delicious dishes! And pretty healthy.

Great lunch at CSONS. All 3 courses were excellent from a nicely varied menu. Would highly recommend

Dining at CSONS is always a pleasure, the food is on point and service incredible.

Italian evening was superb ....food and wine delicious......

I met a friend for lunch in Shrewsbury, we were SO lucky to choose CSons! The food was beautifully presented, it tasted just as good, absolutely delicious, so fresh and full of flavour. I had and recommend the Massaman beef, whilst my friend had Mackerel. We shared THE most delicious pudding, a very unique take on lemon meringue pie. The staff were helpful and friendly. I look forward to my next visit

I had the small plate duck leg and it was incredibly tasty. My husband had the flapjack and said it was the nicest he ever had. Staff were attentive and helpful. Atmosphere was lovely. Well done Cson. So glad we stumbled across you.

We sat outside in the street seating area on a nice sunny day. The burgers were delicious, the service was excellent, friendly and efficient.

What a stunning place!!! The decor is beautiful! The staff are ALL so friendly and welcoming! And the ice cream is to die for, highly recommend ill definitely be back at a later date!

Excellent! Came here with relatives before they left to fly back to Europe, had train tickets so had to be fast. We came into the restaurant and ordered, asking them if they could try and prioritise our meals to get them out faster. The staff were completely considerate and immediately after ordering we could hear her asking the cooking staff if they could prioritise our dishes. I have nothing but gratitude! Our food came out in around 10 minutes. The food was well cooked and tasted divine. It was clearly good quality and in such a short amount of time. We were shocked by their response to our request and if I’m completely honest I did not have high expectations for a speedy meal. My relatives were able to leave on time and returned to their home as scheduled. Thank you so much to the staff and for a delicious meal!!

Sunday brunch @csons_food Shrewsbury. Opting for something lighter on a sunny morning we chose the Lebanese and the Scandinavian. Is there anything these guys can’t do, both dishes were exceptional. The quality of the ingredients (many of which are from local producers) paired with clever cookery firmly cements CSONs as the place to go in Shrewsbury. Thanks for satisfying the Shropshire foodies once again, you never disappoint! 🍴🙌🏻

Great evening here for the first time . All the food was delicious and well presented . Staff were all very friendly and helpful . They don’t automatically take a 10% service charge off you and leave that to your own discretion, but I thought it was definitely worthy for looking after us in such a nice way . Will be back Thanks

Excellent and imaginative food. Imaginative vegetarian and vegan options. Great desserts. Good service.

Food is different, packed full of flavour, perfectly cooked. This meal was hands down the best food I've had in at least 10 years. Loved it!

Went for an early birthday dinner with Charlie the wonder dog. Food and service were fantastic, and I felt it was value for money. Special thanks to Maddy The Manager who made our visit wonderful. I'll definitely be going again. Thank you Csons Team!

Only open for dinner on Fri and Sat. The place was criminally quiet the night we were there. What an explosion of flavours. We shared small plates tapas style. If you’re a local you really need to support this place. We were recommended by a fellow in a bar in Oban. So glad we took him up. Just delicious. Something for everyone on the menu and all locally sourced.

A fantastic restaurant that serves stunning food. We booked a table for 2, for the four of us, and we had the dogs, which were welcomed and looked after. The food is unusual and makes the best use of seasonal items and local produce. Dishes are available in small plate and large plate options, with a great selection of mains and side dishes. We ordered 2 x small plates, 1 x main chicken shawarma and the main version of curry goat. Every dish was delicious and had a slight twist on what you’d expect. Beers were also excellent, as was the top notch cheesecake. Staff were friendly and welcoming and made for an enjoyable experience.

As always consistently seasonal delicious food

Stunning. One of the most flavourful breakfasts I’ve ever had. Everything sourced locally. Excellent service. Beautiful setting with local touches. Come here.

Great breakfast, you can tell every ingredient is high quality, coffee was also great and we saw someone else had the pancakes which looked amazing

This was an amazing cafe, big variety of breakfast items, I opted for a Lebanese Breakfast it's was delicious. Staff friendly and attentive without being overbearing

Always good food and pleasant staff.

Great Vibe. Excellent food locally sourced. Very different and delicious. The coffee blend really good and the Pimhill toast outstanding. The music playlist added to the atmosphere.

excellent breakfast great service thank you

My go to place in Shrewsbury for great coffee and the best breakfast. Never disappoints.

Delicious coffee and fresh original menu

CSons was a really lucky find on our day amble around Shrewsbury. Very friendly staff greeted us. The cafe was light and spacious and had a lovely, laid back atmosphere. The menu was really interesting offering very different options to the usual fare at chain places. Many vegan and vegetarian choices too. We both opted for burgers, 1 vegan and 1 beef. We both loved our food, really tasty, good quality and fresh. Generous portions, I couldn’t eat all of mine. A local, family run business using all locally sourced ingredients. The toilets were very clean.

We first discovered Csons some years ago, and enjoyed our visit immensely. My husband had the Lebanese breakfast which he said was delicious, it certainly looked it! Today, I managed to make it back to Csons, specifically to try the Lebanese breakfast. Often revisiting a place can leave you disappointed NOT this time. The welcome was warm, the atmosphere and service friendly and the breakfast.... delicious! Thank you Csons for not disappointing me. See you again soon - I hope. 😉

Lovely little place really great food and excellent ingredients. Bit pricey but worth it

Fab menu and a nice place to be. Totally recommend going for a range of small plates to share. Excellent food and vgam and gluten-free options available.

I gave up meat 45 years ago, at age 12. So I’ve eaten a LOT of veggie burgers in my lifetime. But, genuinely, the No Meatalian veggie burger with accompaniments (perfectly-dressed fresh leaves, pickled apple, divinely seasoned roast mini-potatoes, unctuously garlicky aioli) I just had at CSons Shrewsbury was hands down THE BOMB. In fact, it might have been the very tastiest meal I’ve ever had in my life - umami deliciousness in every bite. Book, go, eat, enjoy. You can thank me later.

Everything was amazing, staff, food quality, coffee 😍 gem of a place to visit for brunch!

Really delicious food. Friendly and efficient service. We really liked how flexible the menu is, small plates, big plates, lots of great sides. The breads with oil and za'atar was especially tasty. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, excellent atmosphere, polite and friendly staff. Sharwarma chicken made my taste buds dance! Highly recommend Csons for tasty, fresh and locally produced food.

The smoked salmon is absolutely to die for! Beautiful flavours, such friendly staff and a great experience. This is my go to place!

Excellent coffee, home made buns, great service and good atmosphere.

Fun, well priced tapas style menu with wide choice of global cuisines. Labneh cheesecake first class. Cheerful, efficient servers. Tables a little tightly packed for a relaxing experience, but OK for a quick lunch. Try it!

Fantastic meal for two. We were late eating( 2 pm) but the service and food were wonderful. We ordered 3 small plates and flatbreads. Everything was served beautifully seasoned . The smoked salmon was the best I have had. Kombucha , coffee and the chocolate rum tart was a sublime end to a menu thoughtfully created and skilfully cook. Thank you

Excellent food ! Original & very tasty food, such unusual & interesting combinations. Lovely location too

Went for our first meal here, and it certainly won't be our last. The lamb was exceptional, with a depth of flavour and cooked to perfection, while the Nigerian-Inspired spicy sauces on the purple sprouting broccoli was a great combination. Being able to have two "small plates" for a main meant we could try out a wider variety of dishes, and none of them disappointed. Really good!

Lovely experience in CSons shrewsbury. Great staff very attentive and smiley. The lady who served us was very friendly. The food quality is great, healthy and well seasoned. Thank you :-)

Suuuuch a good meal, the chicken shawarma was fantastic. Can do lots of small plates which I love. The whipped fetta was also spectacular 🙏🏻 Can't believe it's taken me this long to find this place. Highly recommend 😊

Was way too long in between visits, was better than I remembered!! I’m planning for a breakfast next, try the venison is beautiful

Wonderful just wonderful. Highly recomended.

Excellent food with a great fusion of flavours.

Totally brilliant - I enjoyed parsnips for the first time in my adult life. Emphasis on veggies and pulses, which is great to see. Well priced and great service. Bravo!

Fantastic fresh food. I love it here.

Food was Lush the Service was Smooth and their epic Winelist was Wonderful x Sharenergy and Deanofestive

Always very good food and friendly service.

Really tasty food. We had a selection of small plates to experience as much of the menu as possible. Every dish had something special to savour. We will definitely go back!

What a wonderful experience, great food, very dog friendly. And very friendly and professional staff. Would recommend to everyone

Stunning food. Quality ingredients, prepared with love and skill. We ordered the English breakfast, and the Lebanese. Both amazing. Pricey, but then, this is a top-end breakfast. 😁

The breakfast was very special! Probably the most delicious breakfast I've ever had!

Nice relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. Vegan breakfast was excellent. Dog friendly too.

Really lovely food, very fresh and tasty.

A different and interesting place to eat. The menu takes a bit of interpreting but essentially you can have small plates/tapas or have larger versions with additional ingredients as main courses. The cuisine is very varied, from Mexican to Indian to Japanese and more in between. Also has some well chosen wine and beer options. Service was efficient and cheerful. Would recommend if you're looking for something a little bit different.

Went for the monthly secret menu and it was great! Each of the dishes were unique, service was nice and a fun experience if you are after something different and you don't want to pick

Great time at CSONS. The staff and service are honestly 10/10. The food was good but we weren’t blown away by the Mystery Menu. The atmosphere is nice but it was quite loud.

We had booked to go to the jazz night at The Hive and decided to make a night of it and have a meal first. Looking on Google Maps we saw that CSONS was just a few yards down the road and had a good review so booked and what a good choice. Limited menu but so so different and fantastic flavours. My wife had the burger and enjoyed every bite. I had the Mexican lamb which reminded me of Greek Lamb Kleftiko but with an undertone of Mexican spices. Fantastic.

Lovely, lovely breakfast... Go for the full CSON. Definitely visit again when next in Shrewsbury..

Loved the “world food” menu with one dish (available as starter or main course) from a number of cuisines (Indian, Mexican, Swedish, Lebanese…). Extremely tasty and colourful. Staff were good.

Lovely place very rustic. Food always excellent. Friendly staff. Good service.

Popped in for Lunch on a rainy afternoon and it definitely didn't disappoint. The food was absolutely delightful and it's really great to see a local business doing so well :)

First visit and the food was amazing!! Staff super friendly and helpful. Full marks!*****

Food was exception, staff were very warming and welcoming. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Cracking breakfast and nice little spot. Good staff. I had the vegan breakfast which was so delicious! My only recommendation would be to please get soya milk as a dairy-free option; it is the lowest sugar and highest protein alternative where as oat milk is quite sugary and zero protein.

Have been to CSONs a number of times over the years and it never disappoints. The menu is really eclectic and the food served is thoughtful, high quality and extremely tasty. Inside it's always quite busy and this gives it a lovely atmosphere.

First time to CSONS today and it won't be the last. Great experience good food. I can recommend the Oaxaca Mexican eggs for brunch. Good serving lovely dpicy flavours without being too hot. Good coffee too. Well done. We will be back

Great local food. Great flavours.. get several small plates to share for dinner.. the English full breakfast is good as well

Really nice place. Very high quality ingredients that you can taste. I had the full English and it came with a home made brown sauce which was a new thing for me. The sausage was nice and there was also a chorizo patty which was a bit different. Nice service and good atmosphere. I would recommend booking ahead.

Really interesting food and lovely lovely service! The perfect place for my birthday lunch, couldn’t fault it. Had been worried when booking as there was a line about needing the table back in an hour and a half and I knew we’d take longer but when it came to it they couldn’t have been more accommodating, let us have our leisurely lunch and even added a birthday candle to my delicious mousse cake dessert! Loads of gluten free options. Fully recommend!

Lovely breakfast and service. Accommodated us despite not booking a table.

Today we had the Trout and the Steak, both very pretty plates and so juicy and moist with delicious vegetables I’d never heard of before. For pud the sumptuous panna cotta with some tangy berries and a biscuit crumb, my wife had the fabulously rich ganache which I begged a spoonful of. The two girls serving were delightful. Just can’t fault this place, every time is a charm. Thanks 😊

We booked for an early dinner on a Friday evening, the food was served quickly and was delicious. I can’t recommend Csons highly enough, we’ve had many evenings there and never had a bad meal.

Had full CSons breakfast - deliciously different.

Food was fantastic and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Very engaging with my 1 year old. Not cheap but excellent food so value for money in my opinion.

A fantastic lunch with delicious options for all no matter their preferences.

Fabulous restaurant. Always local sourced, local food cooked and served brilliantly. Breakfast today first class..

Absolutely fabulous food and service. Opted for small plates, tapas style and was delicious.

This is a wonderful cafe to while away and eat an al fresco tapas.
