Katies Lounge in Coventry

May 2025 with more photos added. Fabulous experience yet again. Well done to Tony & Debs for an entertaining evening with exceptional food. Just seen the review left by "Travel Fan" who we sat next to on the night. Feel it was incredible harsh! Sure the topics mentioned were raised but being there, they were in context to lived experiences. Such as a visit to Whitby & seeing the golliwog shop. I would class myself as "woke" i.e I care about others, try not to offend & am sensitive to the language I use. I was not at all offended by Tony's stories & neither was my husband. Shared tables are not for everyone & I would suggest they really didn't suit this very quiet (introverted?) couple - to each their own! Personally we had a great time & would highly recommend. Most of the reviews say exactly the same & rate this as a 5 star experience. But you can't please all the people, all of the time. I love this place & have been several times before but it was the 1st time for my husband. Both of us fully intend to go again. The May menu could have been written for my husband - other than the cured salmon. However each dish was lifted to a whole new level & the salmon dish was my personal favourite. That horseradish sorbet . . . . . ! I could have eaten by the bowl full - it was amazing! Every dish had the wow factor, in both appearance & taste. You can definitely see why this restaurant wins so many awards. Can't praise Tony & Debs enough, they are a brilliant couple, who bounce off one another & bring so much fun & energy into the room. Definitely my kind of people. May 2024 Fabulous evening at Coventrys Gourmet Food Kitchen with Chef Tony & his wife Debs. It's a tasting menu with a maximum of 12 people sat a one large table. You get to chat with the other guests & with the hosts as the restaurant is lovely & intimate - like being invited to a dinner party, where you have a view of the kitchen. Bring your own booze as it's not able to provide bar facilities. This is great, as it keeps down the cost & you know you are going to enjoy the drinks - you brought them! Glasses, bottle opener & water are provided. Now to the food, each dish was delicious but I'll let the photos do most of the talking. So many processes & so much work goes into each one. As an example, the Home smoked Duck- smoked in a aged oak whisky barrel. The Duck croquettes- Confit leg of Duck with a Duck reduction. Portion sizes are generous for fine dining but luckily my son was there to help out as my appetite couldn't finish every dish. When it came to the dessert - sublime Lemon tart, with just the right amount of sharp to sweet for me, I had to concede & took home some of the Lemon tart with the Honey Tuelle & the petite fours. Far to scrumptious to let my son have, besides, he was pretty full by then too. This was my 2nd visit & I will definitely return again for the fine dining. Haven't tried the other menu's - Such as Breakfast & Fish & Chips but fully intend too.

They have delicious Coffee when u pop up also a well service with good poeple working at there 👏

Staff were pleasant, approachable and talkative. Service was fast and the food was great. Staff offered recommendations of things to do in the area as we were visiting from elsewhere. A very pleasant experience all round.

I was a part of a big party of 35 people, I can not tell you how amazing the whole team were on saturday, they worked so hard to make our night so special. We had so many different options of meals and everyone of the meals came out hot and cooked perfectly. We had the room upstairs, the tables and chairs were all dressed, it looked so good. They delivered everything we asked for. From the time of booking until the actual night the help given to us was great. Big thankyou Sharon and all the team.

Very nice food at a cheap price. Recommend the jacket potato or the English breakfast
