The best restaurants in Blackpool North West

After a day out at Blackpool Zoo we were looking for somewhere nearby for tea and, very fortunately, chose here. What a stroke of luck! Eat is a five minute drive from the Zoo and we managed to park immediately outside the restaurant. It's a small restaurant with lots of Italian themed artwork on the walls. We're a family of four with children aged four and one. Both children had penne pasta with Napoli sauce, which was a mild tomato based sauce. That was from the kids menu, which included chicken strips, Margherita pizza and spaghetti or penne bolognaise. Us adults had tortellini in crema (pasta in a creamy sauce with ham) and penne al salmone (pasta with a lovely creamy tomato sauce and pieces of salmon fillet). We had garlic bread too. Everything was delicious. We also had puddings. I had a rum baba and my wife had profiteroles. Again, they were delicious. It's a family run business and the lady that served us was lovely and friendly. She even asked if we would like our meals after the children had finished theirs, which we've never been asked before, despite eating out regularly with the kids. We're used to the chaos of us all trying to eat together, so we declined, but if you're spoon feeding a baby or have a really fussy eater then that gesture would be really helpful. We don't visit Blackpool too often as we live over an hour away but next time we're back, we'll definitely be visiting here again!

Been a few years since last in Blackpool and one of the first places we chose to revisit was ‘Brens’. Absolutely gutted that it was no more. Visited several times, when it had just opened and thought it was a winner. Hope the guys and Bren(da) are doing well! X

What a brilliant venue - came here to see Jamie Webster. The sound system was amazing, the staff were really friendly despite being so so busy!

Great Italian food. Lovely staff. Top venue. Definitely worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed. Quick service also.

Fantastic food yet again afternoon tea amazing then full English following morning staff are lovely too highly recommend this lil cafe bar to anybody just hoping you do roast dinners for when we come back in December xx

Myself and partner went to this restaurant .What can I say the food was fresh , Homemade and taste amazing.We had a roast lamb dinner and it was beautiful I can honestly say it’s the best roast dinner I have had in blackpool and the best I have had for a long time.There is no more I can about this place it’s just amazing .

Amazing hidden gem! The food is cooked freshly and the ladies adjust your orders if you’re a picky eater :) Very friendly ladies in an extremely clean premises. The choice is endless for breakfast and lunch. You can even take away substantial meals to have at home such as a Hotpot or pie. The desserts also looked delicious. We will definitely visit here again.

Had a fantastic coffee and cake at this little cafe. Friendly staff with quick service. What a lovely atmosphere

Just amazing.. thank you from my daughter who’s is coeliac for going the extra mile in catering for her gluten intolerance, thank you from her partner who is a very fussy eater & thoroughly enjoyed everything but mainly thank you from our son & daughter in law for making their special day very special indeed. Ranuka and your team your food is fabulous .. thank you

Honestly enjoyed this experience so much, was an absolute pleasure to spend my birthday with the beautiful cats at cafe meow! 😸 The staff were lovely and really informative on all the cats :) The cats are so well looked after, all pampered just how they should be ❤️ Was lovely that could so see the new cats too so they didn’t feel left out 😸 Wish I lived locally as I would honestly return weekly! I love the fact the cats are up for adoption, it’s a fab way of helping out local rescue centres and allowing the cats to have a stepping stone before they get their forever home ❤️ keep up the great work!! Will definitely be returning soon and telling everyone about you guys at cafe meow! :)

This place is a credit to fleetwood free port. Excellent staff all happy .would definitely go back and reasonable prices . Lovely place inside and very clean . 10/10 . Nothing to much trouble. Keep the good work .

Came yesterday with my mother in law and two daughters , amazing food and even better service , the lady came into the outside patio ( which is so lovely ) and spoke to everyone , will definitely visit again.

We booked for a 3 night stay at the Dutchman recommended by a friend - we were not disappointed, we were made to feel so welcome after walking through the door , the nightly entertainment (Fri/Sat/Sun) excellent and the breakfast was just unbelievable- so much choice and so nicely cooked and presented - only down side was the small room ( but when I booked I was told it was a ‘budget double ‘ ) but that was all that was available - will definitely be back- thank you to all the team at the hotel you should be proud of yourselves
