The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Mediterranean food

Second time of dining at Sotirios Bar & Restaurant, absolutely first class service from all the serving staff friendly engaging, nothing is to much trouble. We were a table of four, everyone throughly enjoyed the experience the dishes were amazing starting with the seared scallops with coconut and for mains, Kleftico, Roasted Aubergine and Magret Oriental all excellent and beautifully presented. We shall return to try their Sunday roast after seeing and sampling a slice of beef which was kindly offered to us. Can't praise this Restaurant enough!!

Great little spot, beautiful food and very generous portions. Lovely warm fluffy flatbread and hummus immediately offered as soon as you sit down.

i came here with my husband. and i must say it was on of the best turkish restaurants i have been to. good service. good portions, good quality food well presented. unfortunately, I do not live in the area but if I’m in this area ever again, I will certainly go back in

Authentic Greek Taverna ambiance. Our waitress Giselle was very friendly and helpful. Food was perfect, especially the Sea Bream which the chef filleted for us at our table. Bottle of Greek Rose wine went well with our meal. Portion size was very generous - we did not have room for dessert!! Would recommend booking as it is understandably very busy. Will definitely return.

Absolutely fantastic place, it felt as being in abroad. The food was full of flavours, a joy with every mouthful, and portions were generous. Totally recommend it.

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.

Beautiful tasty food and great service! A brilliant find for our stay in Sale. The steak was amazing… super flavours! The baklava is something else!

We went to Efe’s for a late supper (around 9pm) on a Saturday night after a long day of travel. There were four of us and all the tables were filled. The food was delicious. We had Efes Special Mixed Grill and the Haloumi starter. We loved it. The food was served hot and seasoned to perfection. For wine, we had the house red and it tasted great as well. We liked Efes so much that we decided to book a table for the next night as well. If you’re in Harrogate, don’t skip Efes Bar and Grill! Best to make a reservation though as we were just lucky to get in.

Amazing little spot! Food is unbelievable and the owners are so lovely! Definitely worth a visit. This is the second time we have been and will be back for more.

This place is friendly, jolly and enthusiastic. Lovely homemade greek food, with service to match Full up on 4 dishes between us but we squeezed in Aunties Orange Pudding, worth it!

When a friend of ours comes up North to visit, his only request as to what to do, is to visit St Martha, a high accolade indeed. Once again we were not disappointed. We shared meze to start: pita and dips, fried courgettes, halloumi and spanakopita, I was disappointed to see that the Cretan bougasta was no longer on the menu, one of my absolute favs, the instrument used to cut it was spectacular. Souvlaki was the firm favourite with us all, both chicken and lamb, tender and beautifully cooked. Washed down by a delightful Greek wine. The service as is always outstanding, so friendly. Our absolute favourite restaurant in Nantwich, until the next time……

In town for a night and went here - so good, unbelievably good tapas, beautifully cooked and the seafood especially was amazing

came for a birthday celebration was the spot for this trype of event, staff where great and very understanding of our needs would recommend anybody to come to the resturant

Having done a Taste Test in August at Taz- which was great - I bought 14 lady friends to celebrate a Big Birthday for one. Super meal - everyone agreed! - super friendly staff - everyone agreed! Lovely atmosphere - everyone agreed! - thank you all for making it a special day !

Not sure where to start, but one thing is for sure, there isn’t a single negative in this review. Home Restaurant, it’s exactly what the name suggests - Home. It’s home because when you walk in you will be made to feel at home. Friendly, welcoming and a huge smile greets you. Around 20ish tables, lovely decor and lighting, views of the kitchen and bar and small but very tempting and amazing menu with a choice for everyone. The knowledge of the food is beyond what I have experienced anywhere else. This included where, when and how sourced. Also any ingredient used in cooking and prepping the dishes. This was only my second visit and honestly I left the first time saying the exact same as I am now repeating. Absolutely outstanding in every category and manner. My advice is listen to the owner’s recommendations and let her husband in the kitchen wow you with his skills. I have been to Michelin star restaurants that having nothing on Home, if you get the chance to eat at Home in Dumfries, my advice is seize it with both hands. And if you have a spare seat going let me come too ! Home was reviewed by a very well know food critic and she rated it as a hidden treasure (my words but she absolutely loved it), I believe “refreshingly perfect” were actually Grace Dents words. She wasn’t wrong and a full 5 stars from me. James is the best chef within at least a hundred miles for sure.
