The best restaurants in Alexandra Ipswich East of England

If you’re looking for a vegan burger that’s packed with flavor and seriously satisfying, TFI Vegan is the place to be. This market stall is serving up plant-based burgers that could convert even the most devoted meat-eaters. Their menu offers a great variety, from classic 1/4 cheeseburgers to creative options with unique toppings and secret sauces. The patties are juicy, well-seasoned, and have a great texture, no bland, mushy veggie burgers here! Plus, their toppings are fresh, and the buns are soft yet sturdy enough to hold everything together. Service is friendly and fast, even when the stall is busy, and you can tell they are passionate about what they do. Whether you’re a longtime vegan or just curious about plant-based options, TFI Vegan is well worth a visit.

Great for a late night dance and the staff work hard and do a great job. Very busy on the Saturday night that I went and the staff were quick and perceptive, so everyone got served in the correct order and fast, so thanks for making it a pleasant evening and keep up the good work

This has now become hubbys and mine go to place for coffee,lovely and friendly and the coffee is really lovely not over powering like some places.

Excellent foods and service... It's a wonderful place to visit and have lovely and tasty meals...

We love good seafood and the reviews for this really restaurant stood out among the crowd. It was also within easy walking distance of Ipswich marina where we were based. It was a buzzy, lively atmosphere which my wife prefers, service was attentive but not overly so, the quality of the seafood and wine selection spoke for itself. I'd certainly recommend the oysters (reasonably priced) and the spicy squid main (with rice), I didn't think I could clear the plate but it was that good I managed it. My wife had scampi and fries, a dish she is very fond of and commented how good the tartar sauce was. Also give the Turkish wines a try, they were a very good match for the seafood.

This independently-owned restaurant is well situated in the centre of town, and was very busy the evening we were there. The décor is cheerful, with a splendid oval ceiling display of flowers depicting "quattro staggione". The pizzas are generously sized (30cm/12”) and equally generously filled. We ordered four different ones: a Napoli (anchovies, capers, olives, fiordilatte), a Margherita Verace (the extras beyond a regular Margherita being baby tomatoes and parmesan), a Capricciosa (ham, mushrooms, artichoke, olives and fiordilatte), and a Bocconcini (mozzarella balls, peppers, fiordilatte, pesto and herbs). The pizza dough was excellent: being cooked in a wood-fired oven makes a significant difference, and in each case there was a generous base of tomato paste with plenty of toppings. An attractive visual touch was that each of the four plates had a different pattern. Good service too: three staff in succession apologised that the final pizza was taking longer to bring to the table than the three that had already been served. Presumably the chef accidentally missed it off the chit. We hadn’t made any fuss, and said it really didn’t matter. Nonetheless, when the bill came, the head waiter said that they would not be charging us for the late pizza. That was unexpected, and very generous, so full marks for excellent customer service. A firm recommendation for a good restaurant serving excellent pizzas.

absolutely incredible experience every time i visit. staff remember my regular (not expected at all, but a lovely surprise). i visit roughly every month or two and have been coming here for 4 years and despite relocating in that time, staff have always been consistent in their fantastic service and the food quality has always been fantastic. they respect allergies which is amazing for an authentic east asian restaurant outside of london. worth every penny.

Always worth a visit when in Ipswich. Never disappoints. Easter weekend it had a great beer festival tent attached to the main building. But its a great place to go when there’s no beer festival too!

I’m so excited to have found this place. Food choices were great and catered for many different food allergies. A good community space that makes you feel welcomed and not rushed. Prices are reasonable for all pockets.

Now called Harvest Moon, this cafe has delicious plant-based food, imaginatively presented and reasonably priced. Lovely selection of cakes and biscuits. Friendly and helpful staff.

I use a powerchair and double checked that they had a ramp before going - when it was patisserie valerie, they had a sturdy wooden ramp for people who needed it so i thought it would be this one. I was very disappointed as it was a thick rubber mat which i would definitely not call a ramp! The owner then came over and brought two square wooden boards which raised the height some more and i managed to enter the cafe. I found the staff were so lovely, did whatever they could to help me - had a table booked with plenty of space & moved chairs out of the way for me. I personally wouldn't rate the food but that could be because of what i chose (£5.50 for 1 large-ish arrancini...). Food was served quick and hot which was good - my friend had chips which i stole a few and i will admit, were pretty good. Sometimes i wonder about places that have huge menu's, how can they make sure quality is always amazing when you have a burger to pasta to a japanese breakfast to spanish food etc... I'd like to try something of the dessert counter next time and please, i really am suggesting on behalf of anybody with mobility issues/buggies, please invest in a proper metal ramp. It will be so appreciated i can promise you that.

Amazingly lovely staff, delicious coffee, and a great selection of food and cakes (+ in door and seating out the back). What more could you want?

Great food and set menu makes it good value.

A large pub, a good choice on Matchdays. Has a large greenhouse effect room which was very warm, but lovely side rooms as well. Plenty of ales and different styles to try. A great pub.

Very popular bar on Matchdays. Immediately after the match it was too busy for me. So I went to the Arbour House, and came back here later. 4 staff servicing quickly and a good array of different ales. The smoking area had plenty of tables on a side walk. Might be better to try here midweek.
