The best restaurants in Salisbury St Martin's and Cathedral Wiltshire South West

Lots of interesting and unusual things to see in this place, lots of random mementoes and furniture pieces from decades gone by. If you grew up in the 70’s or 80’s you’ll recognise quite a few of them. Nice place for a cup of tea or coffee and something to eat too.

Great local family atmosphere very welcoming

For top quality, fine dining in Salisbury there really is nothing to match Allium. With a small, personalised feel the beautiful, hand crafted dishes of perfect portions and exceptional quality are presented in good time and the very well thought out menu has something for everyone, as does the wine list. I couldn’t fault a thing. The final surprise was the good value as at the end of such a pleasurable, perfect experience I would expect it to cost more than it did.

great food, really tasty , I must have order a dozen times and always very good. I have never had any loyalty discount for the sixth order . so I'm taking back a point or 2

walked in and made to feel welcome by large group of quiz buffs along with other locals too. boss was joining in too . must go pub . will be back soon

We asked a local bar we were drinking at to recommend a good independent pizza place, and Nole was first off her lips. It was really quiet when we arrived but the staff were pleasant and friendly and we found a cozy table upstairs. Innovative and interesting pizzas, top quality ingredients and great pizza bases. There's clearly a lot of effort that goes into sourcing high quality ingredients. We really enjoyed our meal and I imagine with a few more people the atmosphere would be pretty amazing.

Great pub with a brilliant atmosphere

Absolutely amazing food with top notch service. I have lots of allergies due to SIBO. We informed on booking and on arrival the staff had kindly crossed everything out on the menu that I couldn't have and there was still loads left for me to chose from. The cocktails could be made as cocktails which was also very much appreciated. We went for the £65 tomahawk steak to share and it was well worth the price. The best steak I have ever had. But loads of GF, Celiac and FODMAP friendly choices.

A nice looking place - super clean and very well decorated Menu is extensive and ideal for a quick meal or just a hot drink. Only negative is the choice of music! This makes it a difficult place to stay for long if you do not appreciate One Love (original mix). This is club music. Mindless thumping beat and weird sounds sometimes repeated wailing noises. Asked the staff to find different music. Seems not possible. Shame really. That type of music is not to everyone’s taste. If you are the staff and into clubbing it would be fine. But the staff are not the one’s to choose the music!

This will probably turn out to be of my shortest reviews, (for all those that have kindly followed my longer Feature Travel articles posted here on-line over the years), but the 'comparative' brevity of my write-up here is probably in direct relation to the wee size of this fabulous little cafe..! 😊 I first stumbled on the Antelope Cafe many years ago when visiting the Salisbury Antiques Emporium in the centre of this famous & most evocative Wiltshire City and was really taken by the 'quaint gentility' of it, tucked away on the top floor..and was immediately struck by the companionable near-silence as couples, friends & singletons quietly chatted over their coffees or sat happily reading their newspapers or books over their interesting snacks..! Not surprisingly, to my eyes the Antelope Cafe has all the wonderful appearances of an old-fashioned reading room..with snacks..and I just loved it..as obviously do the regulars who I have spotted there over the years, all taking a quiet step back from the hubbub of the street-lined cafes & eateries that festoon this wonderful City below us! Here, especially on a freezing January day outside, to venture into the warmth, bag a little table and have a wonderful cuppa or partake of some of the interesting snacks on the specials boards is obviously such a joy..and you'll soon feel miles away from the bustle of daily life! 👍 The owner & her lovely wee band of helpers are just superb..very kind & very attentive and this all adds to the most enjoyable 'old world vibe' of this little top floor haven...and my additional pleasant surprise was just how good the teas are... served, as they are, in wonderful china mugs..and tasing like real tea should do! I don't know if Salisbury's water is different to anybody else's' but I surely know that, normally being a tried & trusted coffee drinker only, I was initially bought a cuppa by a pal many moons ago and have to say that I've never enjoyed a mug of tea as much as I have here at the Antelope..and one day, when time permits, I really must make the time to stay a while longer and try out the smashing wee menu too. With the very obvious loyal clientele I have spotted partaking of lunches or afternoon teas here in that amazing peace & quiet of the top floor, I worried before putting pen to paper, (or fingers to keyboard), in case too much additional publicity might run the risk of potentially spoiling the very welcome ambience for those myriad regulars..of all ages.. by bringing in a wave of new customers... and the little secret here that the many locals keep, will be possibly marred by it becoming another 'fast food coffee outlet' and so potentially spoiling the lovely, rarefied atmosphere..! But on reflection, I now doubt that as this is a very special little place indeed..and judging by the amazing map & pin-board by the door, charting the many welcome international visitors who have happily found their way to this wee top floor cafe and contentedly shared it with the regulars, (and vice-versa), I feel this happy state of affairs will continue for as long as this fabulous little cafe exists..and long may that be! 👍 Thank you Antelope Cafe! 😎

We've eaten here a few times now. The food is amazing. The steaks are out of this world. Service is friendly. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food, great service. Highly recommend

Best noodles I’ve ever had 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙃🙃🙂🙃🙂 Absolutely delicious, great value for money a fine blend of spacey delicious glorious food

This was my first visit to Leonardo's. It is a family run restaurant, which I like. The service was good and the food very good. My friend and I ordered from the lunch time menu, which had a number of options and was reasonable priced. The restaurant was clean and tidy. I will go back when I am next in Salisbury, book early to avoid disappointment.

Would leave a zero if I could. Probably the worst chinese take away we've ever had. Smoked chicken NO CHICKEN. Just batter. Ribs just fatty. Even the chips are so dry, you need sauce or a drink to eat them. Would never come again.
