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 🙂

Had a lovely meal for my birthday last night, customer service was amazing and all staff very friendly, best Turkish food around!

This might be a small restaurant but it is big on taste! Everything we ate and drank was delicious and Vegan. The staff friendly and welcoming. We will be back soon.

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 !

It's a great place. First time i was there with my dad. Today i went with my brother. Now it's his favourite place.

Lovely wine with a great buzzing atmosphere.

Visited La Sirena with the family for my partner’s birthday. We had been recommended by a friend as one of our party has dietary requirements. The service we received was outstanding. The food was delicious, lamb shank, pizza, pasta and sea bass were all excellent as were the desserts. We will definitely be back and will highly recommend La Sirena. Thank you - 10/10

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!

Very busy so be prepared to queue but worth the wait and the staff are very pleasant and kind. Clean place too. All different types of food and drinks, plus ice creams. Sells buckets/spades/crabbing lines and jewellery too.

Great value for money. The coffees are superb. The breakfasts are great made with local products. First class service Now called Leigh Road Cafe. New owner!

I always loved this place but now they have had a refurb it’s just amazing. Such lovely staff and owners. So nice to see it busy. Hope they stay for years. The prawns are amazing 20/10
