The best restaurants in Southend-on-Sea East of England

Best food about Unreal every time

This spot is amazing the service from the leading lady is always on point and I always enjoy my food. Thank you for satisfying my belly.

I went to the painting and hot chocolate event with my friend. Sarah made us all feel welcome and the hot chocolate was amazing! The cafe is cozy and friendly, and the evening was really enjoyable, I would definitely go again and also would like to try the other events listed on the page.

Good bar featuring some great comedians. Ran by genuinely nice people

Such a lovely place with excellent food at a very reasonable price. Its not fancy but the food is fancy. A really gem and a real family feel to the place. Popped in for lunch and had gorgeous fresh pasta. Service excellent. Food excellent. We've been before and had pizza that was excellent. We will be back.

Found this place by accident and so glad we did. Great food and service, reasonably priced will definitely go again.

Cannot praise the staff more highly. We took a Special needs and Disabilities group of 25 people on the afternoon of the 15th December for a Christmas meal. The food was excellent, Staff friendly and very pleasant, together with the Service. They accommodated at the last moment, after we had been let down by a large Pub chain, but were excellent. Highly recommend and worth a visit. On behalf of Sunday Club

Tried Pauline’s for the first time tonight and it was absolutely amazing. The goat was so tender and tasty jerk was also amazing with a lovely jerk sauce. Just the right spice. Rice and peas great too. Thank you Pauline will be back soon. Best in Southend

Regular returning customer. Every time food and customer service is excellent. Best wings restaurant there is!!!! Would highly recommend :)

Tasty, good priced dining experience. Many options for both food and drink. FYI we found best value parking at Victoria Avenue, SS2 6AL!

We eat here at least once a month, perfect breakfast at reasonable prices, 8/10. For a no frills café it's one of the best in Southend.

Me & my sister in law came down to Genting to try The Waterfront Restaurant new menu. Firstfull we have been greeted by the lovely receptionist who was really polite. Walking through casino felt like a mini journey to Vegas. We have then made our way to the bar. Within minutes we have been served by a really polite gentlemen, who had really good knowledge of the drinks menu. We have than entered the restaurant and had been greeted and sitted by the professional waiting staff . We had a table by the window which had an amazing Themes view. Our appetisers has arrived within couple of minutes, followed by the starters. The chorizzo bites and calamari was really tasty. My sister in law had ask for her Seabass to be not to spicy which came out perfectly cooked. I had a fillet steak with surf & turf which was done exactly to my liking. They also had a dj after 10 o'clock which created a very good atmosphere after few drinks. It was a lovely experience and I would definately recommend to anyone to come and try out this lovely place. I cannot thank enough all of your lovely staff who created such an amazing atmosphere and made our experience so enjoyable.

this place is lovely. The food is beautiful. It’s got a great atmosphere.

Wonderful food, we really enjoyed chatting to the owner while we tried out all of the Hungarian specialities on his menu. Highly recommend.

Ordered sushi from Toro 4-5 times now, each time it's well packaged, fresh and really tasty. The vegan options are great, with quite a few different selections. Love it, it's my go to place for sushi delivery.
