The best restaurants in Colchester East of England

My daughter and I shared a panini and we had a different filling in each end. Best bacon, Brie and cranberry I have had this year. Extremely friendly team . A great find we will be back. All the best for 2024

Great takeaway sandwiches; looked and tastes very fresh. The white chocolate cake was also delicious. Tempted with a new cheese , yet to try🤞

One of the cafés that I’ve had at the very top of my ‘must-visit’ list. In addition to the coffee and pastry menu, they also have an impressive range of food.

The best sushi spot in Colchester! Fresh sushi and always so much food for such a good price. Affordable for students but their specialty rolls are honestly incredible. Very vegetarian friendly!

An absolute gem. We moved just down the road and was our this daily lunch treat for 3 weeks. We pop in every week for a treat. The sandwiches are amazing and the cakes are delicious! So lovely to have such great place within walking distance. Also the staff are all so friendly :)

Just recently moved to Tiptree and called in for a coffee and Bakewell tart. Both were delicious. Friendly staff & good service.

Have discovered this recently, highly recommended, the food is so authentic and fresh, and fantastic value - absolutely top quality street food - every Wednesday and Friday on Culver Street market, look forward to returning regularly for a Friday lunchtime treat.

It was a warm day and after the Rock Choir gig in Culver Square both my partner and I deserved a quenching drink...Juicy Bar Vitality hit the spot big time...Lemons, Apples and Soda...fantastic...the very best Juicy drink ever....

Love enny's grill ready to eat ata dindin, goes with so many dishes. I even made jollof rice with it. great home taste to it as well. Totally recommend.

The former Poppy’s tea room, The Secret Garden is a really cosy little nook in Trinity Street, decorated to look like an indoor garden. The food is lovely and inexpensive and the staff are great, especially Skye, who is so friendly and cheerful, a real delight! Definitely going to be a regular visitor.

This is a good option if you don't want to cook and if you really like Italian style 😉 The staff are really nice people and hardworking

I thought we'd lost him! Imagine my delight when I recently discovered he was still there, every morning from about 8am until 3pm or so, just around the corner from where he used to be, tucked in between Paragon Stainless & Howdens Joinery, itself next to Go Bananas and opposite Jump Street.Order the Girly Stick and get what amounts to a full English - er - Scotish(!) - breakfast in a half baguette, with a cup of tea (free refills!) - all for £2.50! And it's great food! He has a wider choice of sauces than anywhere I know. I always go for mustard and hot chilli.Go as much for the camaraderie and conversation as for the actual food itself. Joe's is a local institution. All the local tradespeople go there. Catch this iconic local venue while you are here - you will be glad you found it!

Arrived without a booking on a busy Saturday evening and they found us a table within a short time. The food was good and the service was second to none. We were attended to by a number of waiting staff, all of whom were personable and engaging and who were a credit to the Crown.

El personal es muy amable. parecía El pescado y las patatas fritas siempre sabor increíble, tanta variedad. Servicio rápido. Yo diría que mejor fish and chips en todas Essex. No puedo calificar este lugar lo suficiente!
