The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Brightlingsea Tendring East of England

First time visit to Brightlingsea ever, only live about 30 miles away. Anyway looked on my phone for somewhere to have lunch choose the lido cafe glad we did. Home made cakes and everything prepared fresh, and staff who knew how to look after customers plus no rip off prices SUPERB would deffo recommend.

I wanted a cooked breakfast but have to eat gluten free because of coeliac disease. Initially it looked like the only option was a cold sandwich, then the chef came to speak to me and offered to cook my food separately on foil under the grill. It was delicious and I'm really grateful for her efforts to accommodate me.

We heard they did a good Sunday roast, so decided to give them a try. Glad we did. The roast was fantastic. Proper home cooked food and not the precooked and reheated stuff a lot of the big chains serve up. We opted for the roast beef and the extra of cauliflower cheese with leaks and bacon and I highly recommend you try that as it was superb. Big thick slices of tender beef and nice roasties and an impressive range of veggies which consisted of parsnips, carrots, broccoli, swede and peas! Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Best roast dinner i've had in apub for a very long time. We look forward to going back!

Very friendly staff. Good food. Not so keen on the music a bit young for us. The desert was fabulous Toffee and Honeycomb cheese cake. The Shiraz wine was also very good. Good service from DaisyT
