The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Mediterranean food

I’m so blown away by the hospitality we received tonight from BARIS! An absolute credit to the business. He made us feel so comfortable and was super attentive the whole time. The food was also amazing. Overall a 10/10 experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Service and food was a 10/10. We went on a Sunday evening and were only ones in the restaurant, we sat right by window and it felt like the kitchen and staff were so far away! I think weekdays evening or Friday n Saturday night when it's busier then atmosphere would be good. Will revisit again 100%

I’ve visited Nuovo several times in large groups and the food is always fantastic. The staff are extremely helpful, would highly recommend.

We have eaten very well because we haven't done it for days!! Nora and Miguel's treatment was super good!! Highly recommended

My friend and I had dinner here and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious, the service was impeccable — not a single thing to fault. Such a lovely find, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

We dined at Zufa today, and while the food itself was enjoyable, our overall experience was unfortunately overshadowed by poor customer service. The issue arose when we were charged £6 for extra sauces, something quite unusual for a Lebanese restaurant. Typically, bread and sauces are served generously, but in this case, despite being a table of four, we were only given one portion. When we inquired about this charge, the manager was extremely rude and dismissive, which was disappointing. To make matters worse, when we politely asked for the service charge to be removed due to the poor handling of the situation, the manager reacted unprofessionally, claiming that we were "attacking" her, something that was entirely untrue and frankly an overreaction. It’s a shame because the food was good, but the unwelcoming attitude of the manager left a bad taste in our mouths. A restaurant experience is about more than just food, and unfortunately, Zufa fell short in that regard.

Very friendly and welcoming service, food was delivered quickly and tasted authentic. Will definitely be coming back.

Everything is really delicious, all the dishes are very good.

The food was great, however the attitude of the staff was a bit disappointing. This was our second time there but the staff weren’t very attentive to our order: 1. We ordered a virgin mojito and they gave an alcoholic drink. There was no apology for the mistake. 2. They tried to give a fish dish to us but got the wrong table and we are vegetarian, which I mentioned when booking the table."

Una vez que hayas probado el entrante de rosa de tia nunca más probarás nada tan delicioso. Fabulosa comida y un extenso menú vegano. Encontramos a Tia en una noche en Durham. Gran comida, gran personal y una noche encantadora. Gracias Tia, volveremos.

I was quite disappointed when we visited as a family group. I had an open Gyros with mixed meat, my wife had a Lamb Kefte. The whole meal was dry and the mixed meat was just a mixture of pork. At around £30 per head I won’t be rushing back. We were overloaded with chips and Pitta, it needed more dips. The place was busy for a Tuesday evening, and the Just Eat and Uber service appeared to work efficiently.

All you can eat tapas what a great idea! We loved this pretty restaurant. Great food particularly the lamb chops and garlic prawns. Great cocktails.

We’ve been coming to this restaurant regularly, and every single time, it’s been nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walk in, we feel so welcomed by the incredibly friendly and attentive staff—they always go above and beyond to make sure we’re well taken care of. The design is absolutely stunning—luxurious, prestigious, and perfectly crafted to create an unforgettable atmosphere. It’s the ideal setting for every visit. And the food? Simply phenomenal. Every dish is bursting with flavor and beautifully presented, consistently exceeding our expectations. The chefs truly know what they’re doing, and we’ve loved every bite we've had so far. This place continues to be a favorite of ours, and we’re always looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding experience!

Great food, and very good quality service!

Great little place - 5 mins walk from town Center - small menu but everything we had was great!
