The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Alexandra Ipswich East of England

I found this bakery on the happy cow app. I had a feta and spinach pie followed by a nut pretzel. Highly recommended. It he staff are lovely too:

Negócio familiar, pequeno café com diversa comida tradicional portuguesa incluindo a Francesinha que recomendo vivamente. Fomos bastante bem recebidos e toda a experiência foi muito agradável. Preços muito em conta! Irei voltar sem dúvida alguma!

I come across the Chimney Cake stall at a Christmas market and the cinnamon smell from their stall was simply irresistible. My partner was very surprised when he tried this cake and we even bought a few for home. The staff was very friendly and polite and reasonable prices. Thank you so much for making our life's sweeter with these cakes.

This use to be a brilliant Turkish restaurant, we always felt it was the best and most authentic in town, but now it is anything but. Upon arrival it felt different, not so welcoming. We were a part of four, there was another party of eight, but they were finishing when we arrived. The menu did not appear to be a full as it use to be. Prices had been altered by sticking bits of paper on the menu rather than printing off new ones. We waited for about 30 minutes before we were asked for our drinks order, then another 15 for the drinks to arrive. The menu had EFS beer on draugh, but we were told that the menu was wrong and they don't do that any more, only in bottles. We ordered EFS in bottles, but after some time the waiter came back and said they didn't have any so we ended up with Becks. We opted for a cold and hot mezze to be shared between the four of us, but the hot mezze missed and ingredient that then had to be cooked separately and arrived after we'd finished the starter. The main courses were OK, not great and some food was left because it just wasn't good enough such as the side tomato salad on the plate. I had lamb chops, they were skinny and dry and not worth £18.50 (sticky label price increase) for 4. At about 8.30 the heating came on, the radiator next to us got hot. This was during an extremely hot spell of weather with temperatures in the 30's outside. The car payment machine was not working, so we had to dig around amongst us to find cash. Even the bill was amateurist, written on a scape of paper and present in a wooden box with a broken hinge. Throughout our meal we were annoyed by loud music from a function upstairs, sounded like a disco. All-in-all we were unhappy with our experience and will not be going back.

Força Portugal! Authentic coffee shop, 4 people's coffees and toast/croissant for £11. Lots of traditional Portuguese pastries and drinks. I would return if in Ipswich.

Recently went to this Nando’s with a friend, and overall it was a lovely experience as always. I’ve never had a bad experience with this Nando’s but there was just a tiny issue, the garlic bread I ordered was very hard and extremely tough to bite into, I really gave me teeth a challenge trying to eat it, but overall the experience was lovely, food was great and the service was quick and friendly as usual!!

I visited this venue recently and left feeling disappointed. While most of the drinks were priced within a typical range, I was shocked to be charged £11 for a single glass of Prosecco- a price that felt completely unjustified given the overall setting and service. When I politely questioned the price and asked to see a drinks menu, I was met with the dismissive response, “We are the drinks menu.” This lack of transparency is concerning, especially when charging premium prices. A simple drinks list—printed or digital—should be available to customers. The overall experience didn’t match the pricing. Staff lacked polish, character, and basic hospitality etiquette. If a venue is going to charge top-shelf prices, it should offer a setting and service to match—which this did not. The entrance was particularly unwelcoming, with bouncers dressed in plain black making the atmosphere feel more intimidating than upscale. One of them even made my wife feel uncomfortable with inappropriate glances and comments in another language. After that, we chose to move on to The Salthouse Hotel next door, where we received a much better experience. There, I enjoyed an Aperol Spritz a proper cocktail, and one that’s typically around £11—served with genuine hospitality in a far more refined environment. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I won't be returning or recommending this venue. ---
