The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Duke's Lancaster North West

What a fantastic little cafe, a welcome addition to the Assembly Rooms Emporium, which occupies a lovely 18th century Grade II listed heritage building. Such a nice menu. All home made food. I had a lovely steaming bowl of Turkish bean soup, a tasty, freshly-made sandwich, and a pot of tea. I could not resist the cabinet full of gorgeous cakes, scones and tray bakes. The Lavender Cake was delicious. Very friendly service. I hope to return. (You can takeaway/ take home, and also pre-order sweet treats for special occasions).

We had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Dolce. Very friendly, helpful staff and excellent food and drinks. Loved the Avocado smash on homemade potato waffle, also the Peach and Mozzerella salad. Yummy strawberry milkshake (I asked for non dairy milk and it was no problem). We even managed to squeeze in a mobility scooter next to the table. Highly recommended!

We’ve been coming here 20+ years. We especially love the croquettes, the garlic shrimp, scallops in saffron sauce and the sangria. The creme brûlée is wicked good.
