The best restaurants in Chester City Cheshire West and Chester North West

We came for a birthday dinner for my husband but sadly we were both underwhelmed by the food. The snacks to start were delicious but not all dishes that followed were as successful. Some of the flavours of the dishes were a little jarring but two of the dishes were actually difficult to eat. My Cornish bluefin tuna, rather than being melt in the mouth, was tough to cut through and the white tendon was still in place which wasn’t chewable so I had to spit it out. It was also served with small discs of radish which were raw, so the whole dish was off, even though the ponzu dressing was tasty. Ordinarily this would have been my favourite. The main course was squab pigeon but was served with the wing, including foot and claws, so was a bit too much reality for me and made us feel sad about the food rather than joyful. The waitress weirdly made a point of highlighting which bit was the heart as ‘she’d like to know what she was eating,’ so I don’t even think she was on board with this dish. To be fair to the restaurant we were given the chance to review the menu when having pre dinner drinks and we were asked if we had any comments. I can’t recall however whether this detail was in there. The wine flight however was really good with some really interesting selections such as the dessert wine with rose water. The sommelier at least had a bit of personality. Overall due to us not enjoying a couple of dishes and not bowled over by the rest, we came away feeling disappointed and not value for money. Sadly the foot is all I can think about!!

Came here for bottomless brunch on a Saturday and had the best time. All the staff were so so lovely. The food and drinks were delicious and the music was fab. We were never without a drink, which for a Saturday is amazing, as soon as we’d had half our drink we were asked what we’d like next. Will definitely be back again!! 🍹🍾✨

Dog friendly, excellent food and good service

What a great restaurant / nightclub, super nice employees who work very hard

I came here for an early evening meal, the place was quiet. It's nice to see the chef at work, from your table. There's a counter bell for when a order is ready; I suppose this can get a bit of annoying when it's packed. I decided to go for an 8oz steak, with rocket salad & frites; the peppercorn sauce was extra. I had it well done, it was just right; although there weren't many frites. So I decided to have a desert; a twist on the apple pie them, with an apple pie pancake. This came with icecream on top, and some kind of sweet sauce.

Waited three months to return after having lovely meal last time ,to say disappointed is an understatement, burger and chips discrace, young man behind bar was great.

I,m afraid it dipped well below expectation. I had duck in black bean with chips. 6 Duck pieces were more skin than meat, I had 1 green bean, 3 pieces of green pepper and a the rest was made up of chopped onion. The chips were dry shrivelled and looked as if reheated from lunch menu, quite inedible for the most. Although the sauce was tasty the meal for the price was well below the standard of old. Disappointed.

Amazing service, will come back for sure

I have been to Veeno quite a few times. First was a wine tasting experience which was brilliant. I've also popped in for a glass occasionally and love the service and atmosphere. The wines are gorgeous.

Have been here twice now for bottomless brunch, with the most recent visit being yesterday. Absolutely love the vibe here, the drinks food,music and atmosphere are all amazing. Also a massive shout out to all the staff who all go above and beyond, think this is the only place we will ever do brunch in Chester from now on.

Wonderful cocktails and the best crisp butty in the world.

Went for drinks while the football was on the big screen, was busy with parties downstairs so had to sit upstairs which was OK till you wanted drinks, the bar upstairs didn't open till later so drinks had to be carried upstairs, hopefully not spill any if them, but had great atmosphere

You wouldn’t know it was a hotel restaurant Wonderful food - much of it cooked on the charcoal

Proper old school pub near the centre of Chester. We came in here on a Saturday during a televised football match. The place was busy and loud with loads of people drinking and chatting, I loved it. There was a wide selection of decent beers and the prices were good too. Nothing poncy or upmarket about this place, which is why I liked it so much.

What a wonderful find! The service was absolutely superb, the food different and delicious, and the surroundings fresh, clean and innovative! We booked a table for 16 and everything ran incredibly smoothly, I can't recommend The Kitchen enough. If you get the chance...go! Thank you to Amelia and our server (I'm so sorry I didn't get his name!), who did a terrific job! Thank you so so much for making our day so special!
