Nasturtium Bistro & Patisserie in North East Lincolnshire

I've given the restaurant a 4 star review. And here are my reasons. Myself and my family go out for breakfast around Grimsby and Cleethorpes on a regular basis. We try Brown's on the sea front. The serve yourself buffets, jonny doughnuts. The fisherman's arms. Top to bottom. This could have been a disappointing experience as it took us an hour to get our food. Unfortunately for us they had just received a difficult table of 12. Even so an hour wait for breakfast is a long time. We had a very similar experience in the fisherman's arms. With one very big difference. Their customer service was shocking. This service was very good. Which saved this review from being a 2 star review. The food was exceptional. And we were offered free drinks because of the wait. Sometimes in this business not everything goes to plan. This was one of those days. But credit to them the staff turned it around. What I will say is the long delay with the food created a knock on effect for the rest of the day. So things I had planned Unfortunately didn't get done. I'm sure next time it will be a smoother service

Second time coming here. Service, food and setting really nice again. Hope to visit again soon. I’d like to have the onion loaf and marmite butter daily but fear they won’t let me have the recipe!

This little gem of a restaurant needs to be taken seriously. The fabulously friendly and attentive staff perfectly support a confident, young chef who is clearly going places . The taster menu was delicious series of treat after treat. A very highly recommended place to take your loved one, family and/or friends. Don't miss out before it becomes too expensive and/or busy to get a table!

Had a meal here on a Saturday evening at 7pm The restaurant decor is nice and the staff were warm and friendly but the restaurant clearly has some teething issues. My observations and feedback is that the menu descriptions are like trying to decipher something in another language and it’s not clear what you’re ordering unless it states Lamb etc and it’s a bit out there and not very main stream which I think could alienate customers and repeat business. The options are limited , 3 starters, 3 mains and yes…3 puddings. We ordered onion loaf and were told it had sold out …at 7pm so we gave the starters a miss and ordered Lamb Ragu for our main which was nice but nothing special. We asked about any specials and were told it was fish but it was COD….🤢🤮nobody eats cod in Grimsby or Cleethorpes as it’s full of worms or can be , anybody in a fishing town knows this unless you’re a southerner or a cat as that is what we feed our pets with or sell it to the southerners 😂😂. We ordered chocolate tarte and that was sold out .🙄 so don’t bother with a pudding either. So we tried to spend some money but ended up having a bargain of an evening It gave me very funny onion vibes and we won’t be back

Live close by and watched this venue over the years come and go …so waited for the hype to settle before I tried …so gentle steps brunch ….fabulous …sour dough hallumi tomatoes chorizo simple ingredients cooked and served to perfection my friend had the vegan breakfast again superb …nice open plan great service great food …..if served in any 5 star hotel it would get the wow factor …look forward to supper 😂tea is what we say up here and can’t wait …..

Great place, felt I was back in manchester with the elegant earthanware bowls and plates which the exquisite food was placed on. We had a starter and main course, However which we had gone for the taster menu (we will next time) both were exceptional. I find it really difficult to find fine food restuarants with a relaxed edge in grimsby and cleethorpes that you get in the bigger cities - this ticks those boxes for me. I praise the chef for coming out and chatting with us, Jack was really interested to hear what we liked about the food and explained to my excited partner what tigers milk was. Jack - Many thanks it all adds to the experience. The location is perfect (the weather wasn't) We wish you lots of luck guys this place is a real gem. We will be in for brunch very soon, and dinner xxx

Fresh and tasty like no other. Attentive service and much besides. Full range of options for the discerning customer. If it is troughing and scoffing that is wanted, maybe not the place for you. THANK YOU.

Visited here on the 10th July 2024. First impressions were great. Decoration of the bistro itself was lovely. Can’t fault that at all. We were seated and brought menus and our tap waters, which I’d like to add that the glasses were dirty and had white circular marks all over the rim where you drink from. When we were ready to order, the waitress came back, and I opted to have the “nasturtium full” which is their “full English” option. Whereas my partner had the garden breakfast. When the waitress came over to take our order, I asked if I could make a few changes to the breakfast which she said was fine. I don’t like mushrooms, tomatoes, or eggs, so opted to have these removed, and asked if it was possible to get an extra crumpet, and I’d happily pay for extra bacon and sausage which she said was perfectly fine as she would have done the same. Asked if they did beans, or hash browns (which is a staple to all full English breakfasts) which they didn’t, which was fine as it wasn’t on the menu, but thought I’d ask. The waitress who served us was lovely, couldn’t fault her at all. Food came out about 25 mins later. My partners food looked amazing, however I can only assume it was the chef who came out and served us our meals (hat, apron, t-shirt - completly different uniform from the waitresses). The chef served my partners food first, and then he looked up and down at me, and at my plate of food, and said “here’s the plate of gout !”. Now I think this is disgusting, this is no way to speak to a paying customer! Why would you refer to someone’s food as gout?! I totally get having banter in the kitchen itself, but to have the chef come out, bring my food and call it gout infront of the whole bistro was totally unacceptable and ruined it for me. Might I add this breakfast cost me £15/£16, for 2 tiny crumpets, 3 bits of bacon, 3 sausages and 2 black pudding!! I’m very angered and upset at the way the chef spoke to me, and looked down upon me for my meal choice. This is no way to treat anyone! I would AVOID if you need to make changes to their dishes because you don’t like something, or have dietary requirements, because the chef will serve your food, and make you feel uncomfortable for your whole visit. I hope you will be in touch to resolve this matter.

From walking into the restaurant we felt comfortable and at ease. The food was incredible and the service matched. Not a single complaint. We will definitely be coming back to try the duck and mango parfait. Thank you so much.

My husband and I visited here on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. It wasn’t busy, just two other couples sat on different tables around the restaurant. The decor is lovely - but that’s about all that there is positive! The girl who served us was a little reluctant and just seemed to want to get away from the table as quick as possible. My husband ordered a coffee and I got a tea. The girl then proceeded to make my husband’s coffee, bring it to the table, serve the other two tables’ drinks and then bring over my tea. The gap of time between the tea and coffee was ridiculous and the whole part of going out together is to actually enjoy our drinks/food together. We also asked her for some orange juice, to which she replied "we've got no ice but you can have it if you want", lovely... The food arrived after around 25 minutes, the restaurant was more or less empty so I don’t know what took so long for two portions of essentially egg on toast. The food was underwhelming and overly salty, clearly the same utensils are used for all cooking and serving as the avocado from my dish was on my husband’s eggs royale too. The prices are not inline with what is offered. A little bit of garnish wouldn’t go a miss as I was served a single slice of overly toasted sourdough that could have knocked someone out and two sorry looking eggs on top of a hardly generous portion of avocado slapped in the middle of a huge empty plate, emphasising the fact it really wasn’t much. Again the girl serving seemed miffed we needed pepper (why is it not on the tables already?) but we’d waited for her to come and check us to ask for it but she never checked our table. Again, not acceptable when you’ve only got 6 people to serve. The manager/owner, I believe, was sat at a table with his friends drinking beers and serving himself and them from the bar. They were also swearing loudly and just generally ruining the ambience. I think that sort of behaviour is more accepted in a working men’s club, rather than somewhere that claims to be a “Fine Dining” establishment. He then also proclaimed loudly that they were “always heaving” which was ironic given the fact his table of pals was taking up a larger amount of chairs than any actual paying customers. It’s disappointing as we had hoped it would be a good experience but it really wasn’t.

This is one of my favourite spots in this town! A warm, relaxed atmosphere, excellent food and great coffee! It is a niché place to visit playing good musicand a Chef full of banter, there is no place quite like it in town. It has pushed me to try new foods and I cannot get enough. My toddler requests we go visit because they are his favourite Babycinno's. It is clean and cosy with parking nearby. I never have reason or desire to go into Grimsby unless I am visiting this establishment. I cannot recommend it enough

A real unexpected gem in the heart of Grimsby. Amazing food in a lovely environment. Menu was small but I wanted everything. A real fine dining experience and it was so interesting having a chat with the chef at the end to hear about his ethos. We will be back to check out the brunch!

If you enjoy fine dining in a relaxed setting and live within 30 miles of Grimsby then this place is a must visit. The evening menu is innovative with a choice for each course. All options are superb in our opinion and presentation first class. Service is outstanding. A limited wine choice but the red is excellent and great value. At less than £100 per couple including drinks this represents fantastic value for money for food of this quality. Without a doubt we believe this is the finest dining in the area.

Simply put, I’ve eaten at places with Michelin stars that would wish they were as good as this. Flavour is the headline, order everything!! The team are lovely and the music is great, so relax, have a great time, you’ll leave satisfied.

We had the set menu which was £35 for 3 courses. You might think that's not a bad price, however, even though it didn't state this on the menu the "snack" was £5 extra and the sides were £5 extra. The chef told us to order the sides because "you don't get much with your main" he wasn't joking! I had a tiny piece of pork belly with 1 bit of raw Brocoli so we paid £5 extra for a bit of cabbage! The starter was nice and staff were friendly but I did leave hungry and underwhelmed. I wouldn't go back and think its over priced for a small town like Grimsby.

Excellent friendly service. Amazing food. Will definitely return. Would definitely recommend the expression martini!

Excellent food, small menu makes you choose something you wouldn’t normally eat. Everything tasty wonderful

Met by the lovely pleasant Chloe and Jack (Chef) I had poached egg, duck leg for starter and it was full of flavour with every mouthful. For main we had the chicken breast and again it was packed with taste sensations. This little place is a little Gem and watching Jack in the open kitchen working so hard creating Michelin Star quality was a pleasure. Thankyou we will be back x

We have been here a few times and always been fantastic breakfast is beautifully made and all individually tastes amazing.

WOW! Taste sensation! It’s difficult to put into words how amazing Nasturtium is. It’s an experience more so than just an eatery. We would recommend to everyone to try, you will not be disappointed. Jack prepared the food as we waited, conversing as he did. Him and the waitress were attentive and accommodating. This is a first of its kind for the area, and will definitely succeed! We will be back very soon

What a fabulous evening ! Now I understand the meaning of a 'Tasting Menu' and look forward to repeating the experience. Great food, great company and a lovely evening - would highly recommend to others 😋 xxx

This little hidden gem was a perfect stop off for brunch whilst I was out and about. The unassuming exterior held a very pleasant experience inside. From the tasteful decor to the tasty food everything was just right. The food was tasty, well presented and just the right amount. Definitely will be going back for more - and will be bringing my work colleagues to enjoy this little gem of a place!!

Expected so much from this fairly new ‘bistro’. The setting and styling are really lovely and the staff all very pleasant, kitted out inline with the bistro atmosphere, really smart. I think Nasturtium is missing/lacking something but I can’t quite put my finger on it. It could be brilliant however, my friend and I both felt the menu was quite poor with little choice in terms of sandwiches for example. 2 meat and 1 cheese? We did decide on on the same sandwich but found it quite dull and dry with a few green leaves and a little cheese. Vegan menu probably what the area needs but still feel the menu is too restrictive and didn’t hold anything special as I thought it would. Cakes/desserts looked good for sure. Nice for coffee and cake definitely.
