The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Rother South East

Don’t be misled by the carwash in front of it! It really is a gem! Great service and fabulous freshly cooked food. We will be back!

Visited this beautiful Greek restaurant last night we had amazing food with great service would definitely recommend.

Disappointed with meal. Lamb was very tough and meal way overpriced for rice, salad and tough lamb @ £18. Turkish white wine was really good though. Service below par and atmosphere quiet.

We were staying at the Mermaid having baulked at the prices at The George but thought we would go for a meal. In spite of its Georgian reputation, the restaurant ( possibly because of the fire) is relatively utilitarian and frankly not very cosy. The modern art on the wall ( I like a lot of modern art) was rather grim! We both felt the meals were small! The mussels ( large) was small and didn’t even include a slice of bread. The prawns ( large) included 5 and one bread slice! We had to ask for finger bowls after the food had arrived. The cheeseboard was Ok but nothing special. The waiting staff were lovely but the hotel manager rather strutted about without engaging customers. We feel there is better food in a nicer setting to be had in Rye.
