The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in West Mersea Colchester East of England

lovely meal and good service, had the sticky beef and noodles followed by the brazilian seafood stew which was fantastic. others had steak, all dishes were first class. hopefully everyone will now know you are open as a great addition to Mersea.

One of our favourite places to eat when we visit Mersea Island. The food is fantastic and the staff are always helpful and pleasant. My mother is in a wheelchair and gets very apprehensive going out but the access here is perfect and the tables are really spacious.

Stayed on Mersea Island for a few days with friends for birthday celebration and was looking for somewhere to go for afternoon tea. Found The Gilt Rooms on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a go. We had to book for the afternoon tea but wow so worth it. Everything from the freshly made sandwiches to the warm fresh out of the oven scones and home bakes cakes (chocolate eclair, victoria sandwich, lemon drizzle and choc brownie were amazing. All washed down with a perfectly chilled glass of prosecco and lashings of tea or coffee. It was the absolute best afternoon tea I've ever had and have had a few. Will definitely visit again when there.

Staff excellent and food lovely.Breakfast had just finished but not a problem making pancakes for our grandson.

Really disappointed with this place. The setting is great hence the two stars but it’s just let down by everything else. The tables were not cleaned after each customer, so all tables we tried were sticky and dirty. What’s worse is the children’s high chairs were filthy, I tried three that were all as bad. They closed the kitchen half an hour earlier than they told us they would so we weren’t able to get desserts. They didn’t alert us that it would be closing earlier. This was because they wanted to send the kitchen staff home earlier (because the football was on). So that didn’t make us feel particularly welcome. The food had obviously been microwaved, the roast potatoes were hard and overcooked because of this. We also witnessed staff bad mouthing two customers that had just left, again not making us feel very welcome. It’s such a shame because the place could be so nice but is just let down by the people working there. There was no table service.

Gem of a place. Nicely located on the seafront. Easy access to beach. Good food, reasonable prices. Lovely ice creams and lovely staff too (great customer service, thank you)
