The best restaurants in Mendip South West

Had a wonderful time at Etci, as always since this was my 4th time visiting.The food was 10/10 it tasted as good as it looked and service was speedy and welcoming with very friendly staff. greatly appreciate our waiter named Feti who gave us an exceptional experience as he took good care of us and made sure we were satisfied with everything. On top of that we were offered tea and turkish delight on the house after our meal. Inside had a really nice atmosphere and beautiful interior so i would Highly recommend!!

What a wonderful find! Our dinner was delicious, atmosphere brilliant but was made it for us, were the fabulous staff! So helpful and lovely, thank you all! Highly recommend.

Popped in here for breakfast as it was close to my hotel and substantially less expensive. Everything was made to order and fresh.

Absolutely fantastic food . All the food was cooked with care , it really was delicious. I haven’t had food that authentic since visiting India. Staff were very professional and friendly. Would throughly recommend. We will be returning very soon.

Friendly service. Nice window seats for watching the world go by. Great coffee but the highlight is home made cakes. Even the pastries. So rare!

The coffee is spectacularly good, the cakes are gorgeous and the ambience is relaxed and friendly. It’s a delight to visit places like this.

The food is absolutely delicious here and Elsworth Kitchen has now become a regular place I visit when taking my father out for afternoon lunch. The service and atmosphere is excellent and the young waitress who has serviced us the last few times including today 12th of Aug needs recognising (didn’t catch her name sadly). She is attentive, professional and always a pleasure to have a conversation with. Just a shame you don’t open Sunday too!

Tucked away in the lovely village of Beckington, Mes Amis looks appealing and welcoming, and this continues inside. The walls are lined with wine and products perfect to accompany the deli offering. We were welcomed with a warm friendly smile and an offer to explain the cakes and food available. Everything looked and sounded so tempting and delicious. A couple of sweet treats were ordered with two coffees (“nice strong black americano for me, please”). Being busy, our order arrived in good time considering Mes Amis was busy. The food was presented beautifully and was appealing, but my coffee was a pale brown in colour. The cinnamon bun did not taste fresh and we would have been surprised if it was baked that day, and my coffee was weak and lacked flavour or aroma. The staff were lovely, but there was no service check to bring any of this to their attention. The food looks amazing. The deli and cafe are beautiful too, but we were just left disappointed.

We only discovered Sushea a week before; we’d been eating at the Boat House regularly but never walked further along Fore Street. We both love Asian food and love the Australian take on it - Japanese, Korean, Indian; it all goes together. There’s loads on the menu, from small dishes to mains and plenty of drinks too. I had a roti taco - crispy Indian flat bread filled with Korean squid and a great fresh, minty salad with a citrus dressing and chilli and mayo. Tracey has a salmon poke bowl with looked superb; really fresh with loads of ingredients. We also had some maki rolls and tuna nigiri. Everything was spot on and we’ll be back to try the food we didn’t have this time. Octopus balls, bao buns, more sushi, curries, Yakitori … it’ll take us a few visits

I was looking for a nice place to take my wife for her birthday. She loves Italian food and I came across this highly rated restaurant. Food was outstanding, some of the best Italian food we’ve had. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend.

Really lovely food. Seriously tasty and filling. I'm a meat eater but certainly didn't feel like I was missing out. Packed with flavour! The chef is brilliant and very knowledgeable.

Had to wait 35 minutes for a small not to good breakfast was very greasy toast was hard and hard to eat and to top that £35 for two : (

Walked past this place and decided to give it a go. What a little gem! Food cooked to perfection. Friendly efficient staff. Will definitely return!

We just had the best experience dining here again and being served by the fabulous team Amber and Ross. Everything was perfect. We don't go out often and all the boxes were ticked. Delicious food, cocktails, warmth, kindness, great atmosphere.. perfect for a date night!
