The best restaurants in East of England

Tanisq is such a beautiful restaurant, it's so beautifully decorated and everything is so well thought out! We celebrated my husband's birthday there last night with my in-laws. It was quiet on a Tuesday evening but the staff are extremely attentive and the new menu was incredible! Everyone had the crab cakes to start and they were delicious and a generous portion. We ordered a lovely and reasonably priced bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. For my main I had the Chandigarh Da Makhanwala which was delicious. The chicken breast was huge! We want to come back over christmas and try the tasting menu! Would highly recommend!

Brilliant deli - reminded me of the Italian delis in London's Soho from my childhood. Great spaghetti and Guanciale which we just happened to need for a recipe. And in Dunstable of all places

fantastic coffee fantastic fruit scone lovely Staff well sanitized tables well spaced well recommend a visit well done everyone

The seabreeze cafe is dog friendly and friendly service and lovely food and drinks would recommend it to all my friends and family great and very friendly staff will definitely be coming back

What a wonderful find. We stumbled across Toast on our visit to Stortford and, together with our little dog, were warmly welcomed. We ordered coffees, a meaty breakfast and a vegan breakfast with an actual vegan sausage, a first for us! It is so refreshing to see a vegan breakfast on a menu instead of the usual vegetarian breakfast where you have to tell the staff no eggs etc (but normally end up paying for all the items you’ve not had anyway). This was the opposite, starts out vegan and you can build it up to make it into a vegetarian. Everything was lovely and we were even given a ‘doggie’ sausage for our fur baby. It is the little touches that make a big difference and very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend.

Last minute lunch decision and first-time visitors, we were met with a very enthusiastic front of house lady who turned out to be the owner’s daughter. Simple but extensive menu ranging from Oysters and Wagyu steaks and burgers and a good very good wine list. Its reputation for Sunday lunches is huge – intend to try that next. Starters were different in a very good sense and all our plates were cleaned – already booked for a birthday party in late Dec.

Wow. This place was such an amazing find on our Xmas shopping day in Bury. Cosy cafe with just 4 tables inside and 2 outside. Beautiful food. The couple welcome you as soon as you walk in. We had a vegetarian meze. A falafel wrap. Taramasalata and bread. All delicious and well presented. If you visit during December, you will see their Xmas window display. You can't help but chuckle. Good value too.

Fabulous location in beautiful village. Great service, drinks and food, especially the sandwiches. Highly recommended.

Great food and customer service at this restaurant. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. As soon as you enter, you feel the warmth from the staff. The food portion was good and tasted even better.

Amazing food excellent service highly recommend this place to anyone left the place very full and satisfied lovely café

First things first - calling it a 'Sandwich Bar' is like calling the Hilton Hotel a cafe. This delightful place is a restaurant with an extensive menu. There's nothing routine about the menu - lots of unusual dishes - so you are spoiled for choice. The food itself is excellent, very reasonably priced and always fresh and tasty. The staff are really friendly and there's a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Bottomless pizza - great concept. Come round with loads of different pizza varieties and toppings, suitable to all. Not just your standard pizza toppings either, they do have some interesting but yummy flavours! Staff were friendly and efficient. Pizza was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to A Differnt Brew: the staff were wonderful, the surroundings lovely, the food was good (including nice gluten-free for a coeliac friend) and the ethos was great. We were a group of friends meeting up from different places and it met our needs perfectly. We look forward to visiting again:-)

We popped into Milton Cafe for lunch - never been there before and so it was a random choice on our way to the theatre. Wow! The pasta dishes were lovely and the service was fantastic. Also got to try their homemade garlic bread and hot sauce. I couldn't stop eating! Really friendly, lovely atmosphere and next time we're in Southend I'd definitely go again. And prices all good too. Thanks for a great experience!

After visiting friends in Wymondham, they suggested Janeys for lunch. My brother, sister and I had 2 Lincolnshire sausage casseroles and a cottage pie. The quantity is so generous but we all managed to finish it. Excellent food, can’t speak too highly of it. When we are next in Norfolk will hopefully visit again.
