The best restaurants in Aldeburgh Suffolk Coastal East of England

Wonderful food, very helpful staff and great value. Decided to head here for lunch on recommendation and already planning our next visit. All home cooked, our meal was well presented and tasted delicious from a choice of freshly prepared mains with the option of dumplings or jacket potatoes. Thoroughly recommend the rabbit casserole. Could not resist the temptation of superb cake and tea from a very wide choice - more to try another day.

This has got to be one of the best breakfasts we've had. Beautifully cooked, proper scrambled egg, and best of all bubble and squeak. Cooked to perfection. A lovely little cafe. In I could have eaten 2. Definitely recommend. 10 out of 10

Truly superb. I visit every time I'm in the area! The Noon Tart is to die for!

The best Thai food and well kept bar . Small with friendly locals . Dog friendly also

Absolutely outstanding fish and a lovely restaurant. The wine is also outstanding with a great selection… been staying in Aldeburgh for the last six months and this was the best meal I’ve had here yet.

We dropped in for lunch on the Monday after Christmas. The open sandwiches we had were very good although the portion of chunky chips was small. The hotel has a lovely view over the beach which we enjoyed as we watched the world go by.

Suburb Sunday roast , we had beef succulent and full of flavour. Veg had extra flavour too and divine desserts. Coffee smoothie and rich. Second visit and will definitely go again. Recommend booking for Sunday roast. Staff attentive and service great.

Weekend for my birthday . I had scallops on bed of leeks and lemon sauce with a hint of chilli - fantastic . My wife had salmon pate equally good Main course (which we swapped round half way) Monkfish parcels in a light batter with mushroom pappardelle- delicious . My wife had a tomato based fish stew which again was fabulous . Nice little restaurant well worth a visit and great value !

Visited again for Sunday roast. Had the roast beef , really tender beef , delicious vegetables full of flavour and crispy roasts. Had the divine coffee panacotta for dessert and smooth rich coffee. Staff were attentive and service great. Didn’t disappoint second time here and will definitely be back. Booking advised on Sunday .

Third visit to Eliza’s and again the food was stunning . The sharing platter starter , spring rolls and fried balls of rice with a lime and chilli dip was just sublime, really very tasty. The Kho Mak Chicken and the Hot and Spicy Red Beef were delicious as was the lime and tamarind noodles . Generous portions and fresh tasting . The kind of food that makes you want to eat more despite knowing you’ve had enough . Staff very polite and friendly too. Definitely will be returning.

This is now actually called the Alde Cafe. I’ve been twice in the last three days. There are fancier places along the High Street, but you will not get a better meal there than you will find at the Alde. Sean is a brilliant cook who prepares every dish with both flare and a respect for tradition. It was the best fry up I have had in the last twenty years, and a welcomed alternative to the recent tendency of serving them up in thali dishes, with about a tablespoon of beans in one and a cubic centimeter of toast in another. I just had the kedgeree, which was magnificently prepared with haddock from the smokehouses along the Shingle. There are many reasons to come to ever-beautiful Aldeburgh. But I’d rank breakfast or lunch at the Alde Cafe at the very top of my list.

We celebrated a significant birthday with friends with an Afternoon Tea. The tea itself was excellent as was the whole experience from arrival to the lovely waitress and reception. A really great package.

Had breakfast here Saturday, it’s a good job we used satnav as you’d never find it otherwise. Reduced menu was being served as chef at a wedding but choice on offer was perfectly adequate. An old fashioned greasy spoon. We really enjoyed the food, the produce seemed to be good quality and it was very reasonably priced. The 3 ladies working there were also lovely. The only negative was the overpowering offensive smell in the toilets. It was so bad I couldn’t even use the toilet and had to come straight back out again as the smell was making me physically heave. It was a mixture of a strong chemical smell mixed with the smell of a septic tank. I’m glad we ate before I went into the toilet as if I’d have gone in before ordering we’d have just left. To be clear although an update would not go a miss the toilets looked physically clean so I don’t know what was causing the smell but it needs sorting as it was unbearable. A shame as food and service were great

The whole meal was amazing, the service immaculate, we will certainly be visiting again!!!

A wonderful stay again at this great hotel. All of the staff from the bar, reception, restaurant everyone so so helpfull. Cant thank you all enough
