The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in England

Chef’s kiss! 😘 The best in town and I tried the chocolate and hazelnut bougatsa - SO good! Thankyou always! ❤️

Had breakfast in here for the umpteenth time. Service, a little slower than usual, was pretty busy. But food as usual was very good, had the Lai la breakfast. not bad value for money compared to most places around now.

Excellent atmosphere and fabulous service. The DJ was excellent. A good night all round thank you very much..........

06/10/2024 **A Fantastic Moroccan Food Experience – Surpassed Expectations!** We were initially a bit skeptical about going to Le Rif Café & Restaurant after reading some old reviews, but we’re so glad we gave it a chance! The staff were honestly kind, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable throughout the meal. In fact, they bought back a Moroccan cook to fulfil the complaints! We had the chicken tagine and vegetable tagine, both bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. The dishes came with extra slices of fresh bread to soak up all the delicious sauce. The Moroccan tea was the perfect, refreshing finish to the meal. The experience completely exceeded our expectations! The staff are genuine and the food is amazing—authentic, flavourful Moroccan dishes that you won’t want to miss. If you’re looking for great Moroccan food and wonderful service, Le Rif is definitely worth a visit. We’ll be back for sure!

Always a lovely meal at Gloria's Staff are friendly, helpful and professional. Good menu choice for Vegetarian's too Tasty deserts too. Delicious Christmas menu.

On arrival we saw that about a quarter of the menu was crossed out, including drinks and food as they didn’t have them in. When we ordered we were also told 4 or 5 of the items we tried to order were also not available, and listening to other customers experience the same thing it must have been another a quarter that they didn’t have either. The food was fairly warm and we ordered the pork belly with honey thinking it would be a glaze of honey. It was covered in honey and after a couple of minutes it was rock solid and almost pulled one of my teeth out, not to mention didn’t move when the plate was turned upside down! The seats have no padding on and were very uncomfortable. The waitresses have a very limited knowledge of the menu as they didn’t know answers to many of the questions asked by myself or other customers regarding items off the menu, and had to go and check. This was all fairly early on a Saturday night, so I have no idea how so many items off the menu were unavailable. We hadn’t been out for a meal for quite a while and were very disappointed as we had high hopes for this restaurant in terms of both the food and the service as a whole.

Dined here multiple times over the last two years, always for dinner. A unique atmosphere, easy to talk, high ceilings and windows allow for a relaxing dinner. Menu changes, and quite adventurous, same for the wine list. Always enjoyable, my personal favorite in Bristol.

Went for Christmas do, 50 pound per person, in the marquee, 3 course meal, the food was amazing, hot and tasty, drinks a little pricey at bar, music and entertainment was OK, the only negative thing was the dirty toilets really poor. But staff were great, food was great, well worth the money great night

Lovely restaurant, lovely food, lovely staff

Superb range of proper ciders. A lovely place, with a bit of a ‘someone’s kitchen’ vibe about it, and I mean that in a good way.

The meal was a truly exceptional experience from the moment our party of 6 arrived. The service was faultless, and our server was tirelessly patient and helpful, explaining dishes and offering advice to ensure our meal was spot on. Every well conceived dish was an adventure in flavours, with the Smoked Hispi and Lahmacun with Oklava Salad particular favourites. The restaurant was full but it made no difference to the speed of service from the open kitchen. It was refreshing to find such a professional team that made you forget there was ever such a thing as lockdown or staff shortages.

We spotted this little gem from the bus and decided to give it a go. We went on a Monday night and there was a great discount on steaks. I think all of us bar one, had steak and they were cooked to pefection. I can't remember eating better steak. The service was attentive and friendly and the deserts too good to miss. At the end of the meal they offered us a liqueur on the house.

We were greeted warmly by our welcoming host who was clearly passionate about her cuisine... and art. We loved the cheerful decor and eclectic art collection on display. A three course dinner was much enjoyed as every plate was delicious. Highly recommended 👌🏻

Incredible food matched by an amazing service by Antonio and Lily. The highlight of our Leicester trip without a doubt.

I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s the best Turkish food I’ve ever had, and the staff is very friendly. Definitely worth a visit!
