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

Just had a lovely brunch on a Sunday morning. Delicious food and coffee, friendly and accommodating staff, lovely decor. You can tell they’ve sent lots of time and effort to make it look nice. Very floral! Will be returning when we’re next in Westcliff

Great bakery with delicious range of hot food, pastries, hot drinks. The cheese steak bake in wholemeal bread was delicious with the jalapenos peppers too. Smooth coffee. Flaky creamy sweet pastel de natas. Outdoor seating too. Thank you!

Tonight was fantastic! what wonderful staff and service, definitely worth every penny. My kids tried the lamb souvla, their weekend special. I had the stifado which was tender with a lot of unique flavours. This restaurant should be on your to do list if in Westcliff. The family run environment is a lovely atmosphere to be in 🙂

Nine of us dined here lunchtime today. The food was delicious, plenty of it and extremely tasty. The restaurant was busy but our servers were wonderful, they were very attentive and accommodating to our every need. The cost of £12.99 for two courses was amazing. Would definitely recommend, the restaurant. Perhaps next time I may even try a cocktail or a mocktail! Many thanks.

Brilliant food, great range of craft beers and cocktails. Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. So good we booked a table again for tomorrow.

Really loved it! I came for the lunch time set menu and really enjoyed it. Prices were reasonable and service is very friendly, would go again

Lovely wine with a great buzzing atmosphere.

Booked Ricardo's for my recent birthday, with family and a couple of friends, there was 12 of us in all (plus a couple of babies) the restaurant was nice and busy with a good buzz, we were all on one table. The service was excellent and the food amazing (we mixed between the 2 menu's some had the a la carte and some the set menu) the costs were reasonable inc the drink (which is where so many other places often put their prices up, Ricardo's was reasonable). Will happily go again !

Classy Italian restaurant, food good, staff friendly and attentive, will definitely return.

First of all the food was amazing, me and my family decided to take a walk down Southend seafront and saw this place stand out over everywhere else, as soon as we walked in we were greeted nicely by a man, I think his name was Johnny and I didn’t catch the other boys name, he had a perm, they were constantly smiling even when they seemed busy, we ordered 6 or 7 different meals and they all came out amazingly! The Cod and chips were the best I’ve ever tasted and I’ve eaten down the seafront quite a few times, me and my family were not disappointed! Both workers were brilliant the whole time we were there even when they were rushed off their feet, it just seemed like all they wanted to do was please their guests! Thankyou Las Vegas Grill! We will be back, 5 stars from me!

2nd salted beef bagel in a week !! It’s delicious! Great coffee yum and in the perfect location for a refuel after a busy day exploring the beach?
