The Cafe Bar in Preston

First time here, absolutely love it, very friendly staff, wonderful food, edit,still fantastic after many visits, never disappoints.

Quick service, friendly staff, food wasn't the best though. Pizza came uncut, had to ask for it to be cut into slices... came back like a child had cut it up. Was just hacked into different size slices. Didn't look fully cooked, very pale and limp looking, Cheese and toppings literally fell off. Spaghetti bolanase for the mains, good amount of food but very watery based sauce, not packing much flavour.

The food was amazing! I have eaten plenty of Greek food and been to countless Greek style restaurants as my partner and her family are Greek, this is without a doubt the most authentic and fantastic Greek cuisine I have ever had the pleasure of eating. I would recommend to anyone who loves great food and friendly service (so everyone) 10/10 would come back tomorrow if I lived closer.

Beautiful little restaurant. That was my first with my Preston friends. First-class service and the food was delicious. We need up every 6 weeks. This is our new meet place from now on.

We popped in for lunch while in town. My daughter is coeliac. The service was good and the food delicious. A wide range of GF options, with most of the menu options being able to be altered to accommodate.

Pizza's are great with friendly staff 👌

Always enjoy visiting the cafe bar. It is a spot in the town centre which does not feel like a town centre. Good food, fried my staff and decent prices. Always happy to return here.

It felt like being on holiday! The colourful seats and music in the background took you away from Preston. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing and came very quickly after ordering. I will definitely return, it has become one of my favourite places in Preston. I highly recommend :)

The Cafe Bar is one of my favourite go-to resteraunts. It's a great casual dining place just off a cobbled street with it's own courtyard, which is great for when the weather is good. In side is cosy and tastefully themed. The food is always good, and I'm decent portions, usually, so is the service. I gave it a 3 stars for service this time only because if anything there were too many staff being overly attentive, I think we spoke to four and were being offered coffee and desert before our mains had arrived.

Do not order paella! The rice was clearly cooked separately and there were several clumps of rice throughout the dish, the prawn was charred and impossible to clean and finally, the tomato sauce was acidic and unpleasant. Paella should be cooked for quite a long time, this was more of a rice soup with random pre cooked components thrown together

Great atmosphere, food was amazing with reasonable prices 👌

We had dinner here - some tapas and then four mains. Everything was good. The café is tucked away in a courtyard so even though it's close to the city centre it is fairly peaceful. We had a lovely evening and will visit again.

Brilliant food, freshly made and served by friendly staff

Absolutely one of the best places to eat in Preston. We train from Lancaster to eat here. So great - it really is!!

Freshly cooked delicious food, friendly helpful staff in a nice location. Would have liked to sit outside, unfortunately the British summer had other ideas. We ordered starters, pizza, salad and vine leaf wraps, all were well presented and delicious. No complaints from our party, reasonably priced, would highly recommend.

Just found this place on Google and thought I'd take a chance. It was quiet because, I think, of the Euro final being on later, but the welcome was warm and genuine. I like carbonara and the spaghetti carbonara was one of the best that I've had. I will definitely be back when I'm in Preston again!

Great lunch visit, food was lovely and service was great

Cute little spot. Good food. Nice staff.

Love the cafe bar, went last week with work friends. Great friendly service from all the staff. Amazing food. Highly recommended

Great food and service. We will be back. Much better than Pizza Express next door for the same money.

Food is great but there is always a let down of sorts when it comes to service Lovely hot sunny afternoon. The meals we had were very nice. The strawberry salad to be precise when speaking for myself. We asked for the bill and waited about 20 minutes. Asked again. Then the same waitress said 'you can go to the bar to pay because we are too busy'. Would have been nice to have been told. It's such a shame after the nice food. It was definitely the quietest period since we sat down. The previous visit was met with a waiter who when we asked if they had oat milk he responded in a very condescending manner 'no sorry we only have milk from a cow'. Really need to work on their customer service skills.

I was there with my granddaughters, and the staff went out of their way to entertain them.

Lovely place with great atmosphere and nice server's

Last night (Saturday 18th May) myself and 20 friends and family visited the cafe bar to celebrate both my birthday and a silver wedding anniversary in the family. Everything about this place is really special, the location is great and the outdoor seating area is beautiful The food was PERFECT and the service was exceptional. In particular Paulo who knew it was my birthday so went out of his way to make my evening really special. The rest of the staff we interacted with where also really friendly and attentive to our needs. Definitely recommend this little hidden gem in the town centre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Cafe Bar for looking after us and I will definitely be back soon

I know its good manners to leave some food behind and not finish the plate, but i COULD NOT STOP MYSELF. It was so delish!!!!!

Sat in the courtyard all 7 of us - relaxed, friendly atmosphere, great staff (although one did struggle with my mates Yorkshire accent, but that's my mates fault for being from Yorkshire 😁). Food was great, mezze plates were bigger than normal, which was great and the main meals were spot on - I had that good a time, I forgot to take any photos.

Second time one was evening but was lunch this time with 17 members of my family all the food came out pretty much together and everyone was very happy with their meal

Fantastic family meal here today 10/10 amazing food and service, would definitely recommend and will be returning to try more of the menu!! Thanks 👍

This place was amazing. The staff are so friendly, the food was amazing and the feel of the place was very comfortable and friendly. Will definitely be going back there soon 😍

Everything about this place is perfect, going to try the tapas next but the pasta was amazing

Called in on Tuesday for lunch, the food and service was amazing. Absolute quality and would definitely visit again

Came in for my partners birthday, love the place! Great, fast service and delicious scran. Special thanks to Rob and Joe for looking after us. Will absolutely recommend Cafebar to anybody for any occasion.

Went to Cafe bar for my birthday and honestly it was one of the best food experiences I’ve had in Preston. Service was incredible and quick. Shout out to Rob and Joe for their service. Food was incredible. Got a few tapas bites can’t quite remember the names of them, but they were served quickly and was some of the best food I have had in a while. Couldn’t recommend this place more, I will be back

Excellent place and service. Well done Matt and Rob.

Went at tea time. 4 o clock and there was 7 of us. The waiter took our order without writing it down and the order that came was perfect. The food was excellent. A few people in but nice atmosphere. Has a court yard you can sit in which is pretty and lovely if good weather.

Go there regularly and food and service always amazing.

wonderful place, lovely welcoming staff food came out fast and delicious. The menu is varied lots to choose from

Absolutely love to indulge in beautiful Italian food in a relaxed, cafe style setting 👌

We booked a table for 12 on a busy Friday night, the restaurant was busy and had a great vibrant atmosphere. Staff were perfectly attentive, with drinks flowing and food coming in great time. We were served beautiful, hot and fresh food and will absolutely come again.

Staff were ultra friendly and tentative. Chilled surroundings. Food was excellent, typical old school Italian. Would highly recommed.

We set outside in the courtyard with our dog after we were struggling to find somewhere for bite to eat. The staff were super friendly and it's a really lovely place.

Brilliant night, our first time going, the staff our very polite and very productive, food came quite fast and the portions were fantastic. We will most certainly be returning

Been here countless times over the last few years. The food has always been excellent and the service very good. Great for lunch or evening dinner.

Excellent food and great price.

Very Mediterranean feel. Excellent service and food. Highly recommend.

Best restaurant in Preston, been coming here for 6+ years and never had a negative experience. Absolutely fantastic!

Nice place. Loads on the menu. Tastes alright. It does a job well. In the summer it has a lovely courtyard.

Thank you for looking after me so much as I dined on my own today! Fantastic customer service from Persa, Nancy and all of the team, apologies I don’t remember the man’s name who served me but all were so welcoming and friendly. 10/10 customer service and the food was delicious. Lovely warm Mediterranean atmosphere, I will definitely be back!

Excellent choice of both food & drinks. Very accommodating staff. Overall enjoyable experience

Wonderful family run restaurant in the heart of Preston. Consistently excellent food, the staff are friendly, courteous and attentive. If you are eating out in Preston look no further .

Absolutely amazing. Been here twice now and will be going every month hopefully until I graduate from uni! Thank you Cafe Bar x

I like their service. They have an excellent customer care.

Popped in here for a drink, it was a really nice place. I will definitely be returning to try the food. In the summer, the courtyard will be fantastic.

The food was amazing and the staff were extremely nice and helpful. Great to talk with. Would come here again

We always love eating here, great atmosphere and amazing Pizzas!

Amazingly friendly, warm, and welcoming environment and staff. Excellent service. The meal was exceptional. Thank you for a great night.

Great food, nice, chilled atmosphere & good service

Great food and great service as always. The only place in Preston that makes you feel like you’re on holiday in the med. Deffo worth the visit!!!

Great place! Centrally located, pleasant courtyard to sit in and friendly, efficient staff. We were there for a lunchtime works outing so it was quiet but I can imagine a lively atmosphere on an evening. I thought the menu seemed a little limited and most in the group had pizza, which they enjoyed and benefited from the lunchtime price deal. I had the kebabs from the full menu and with a soft drink this was over £20 but they were great, really full of flavour, and I would have again. I'm going to visit again shortly as I'd like to see it on an evening. But highly recommended nonetheless.

Booked a 50th party here well in advance of the day. Spoke on numerous occasions about setting a table up for us before we arrived. They said no problem as long as you provide balloons and banners etc. Dropped all this off night before. We arrived on the evening and nothing had been set up. Spoilt the surprise for the birthday. We then had to arrange it all ourselves. Very disappointed. When questioned about it we were told the table had only just come free, yet 2 of our party had been sat there well before we arrived. Food mediocre. Shame

Lovely outside eating area but the whole table got diarrhoea.

NIPPED FOR TEA AND HAD ONE OF THE £9.95 PASTA DISHES THE FOOD WAS NICE AND TASTY NO COMPLAINTS

Lovely Greek food, sat outdoors on warm evening in a courtyard, white and blue colour scheme. Very Greek atmosphere and much closer to home!

Excellent food and service spoiled by a guy vaping behind us and covering us in a cloud of smoke every few minutes while trying to eat.

Turned up for lunch with my little boy and ordered a prawn and chorizo paella with an empty bowl to portion some out for my little boy. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, the chef went above and beyond and made extra for my little boy with the vegetables cut small so he could eat them independently and with small prawns as opposed to the full bodied prawns on mine that I had to peel. Absolutely blown away by his attention to detail for him so considerate, and the service was excellent. The servers were fantastic and they couldn’t do enough for us. No extra cost for my little boys portion, and as I said before, food was excellent quality. Cannot recommend this place enough, I will definitely be going back in the future!!!!

Called in for lunch during the week. 2 drinks, a pizza and a lasagne. £29. Great value, great food and nice staff. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place eat in or in the courtyard , food excellent staff very welcoming

This is always a great place to eat. Good service and food 👌

My meal of spinach & mushroom penne pasta wasn't very nice tbh. Very bland not much seasoning (if at all?) Everyone else's food looked quite nice, wish I'd have had something different. £4 for a large lime and soda was a shock. Not the best experience for me but don't let me put you off 😁

Just stopped for a glass of wine.Used to go in the past and looking forward to trying the food

Always a friendly atmosphere. Good range of Mediterranean dishes.

Lasagne was great, Pizza was lacking in Tomato base, the feel of the place was great.

Had a lovely meal with a group of work friends during the week. Nice and friendly staff and a nice atmosphere

Server got our order wrong costing us an extra £5 on the bill, (we ordered a starter and was charged for a main portion) no changes offered . Starter and main served together which wasn't great but maybe we should have mentioned we didn't want everything at the same time. Other than that, great ambience, clean, food beautiful tasting and well presented.

Great place to eat in Preston service and food both top...

Love this place you feel like you're abroad when eating in the courtyard

Excellent venue, and especially nice sitting outside when it's sunny. Beer could be better but the lagers fine. Enjoy. S

What a hidden gem. Mediterranean style tapas bar, fab food, great service. Very friendly & helpful. 100% recommended.
