The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Southend-on-Sea East of England

You want a Portuguese meal! Look no further. A+++ great food!

Excellent service and food at reasonable prices.

We had a very enjoyable experience at Leigh Bistro. I had the chicken supreme, which was delicious and the skin was cooked to perfection. My friends had the ribeye steak and they both lapped it up with the golden peppercorn sauce. A splash of primitivo wine certainly had the desired effects. Shall visit again thank you

We have been to Toulouse for dinner before and had a fabulous meal so we decided to try it for breakfast. I ordered the eggs Benedict with spinach, and asked for soft poached eggs. The lovely server said that the eggs were always soft. When I got my breakfast the eggs were solid! There was no issue changing them but it did mean my other half was half way through his breakfast before I got mine. My hubby had the full English. He said it was OK, hash brown was a bit on the small side. Our biggest issue is the bread/toast. The quality of the bread is so poor, just plain old white or brown bread. A restaurant like Toulouse, especially if it’s venturing into offering breakfasts, needs to at least offer granary and/or sourdough bread. Come on Toulouse, it can’t be that hard to offer decent bread. I swapped out my muffin for toast and really wished I hadn’t as the bread was awful and quite honestly it spoiled my breakfast. The staff were lovely, the restaurant is in a great location (shame about the price of the parking!), but the breakfast just didn’t hit the mark.

We had a fantastic meal here last summer everyone enjoyed their food it was full of flavour especially steaks and reasonably priced! Staff were lovely, restaurant is decorated nicely and is comfortable, definitely hope to return soon!

Excellent Sunday roast and good value

After an afternoon on Southend Pier and Railway, we wanted somewhere with great food and a great atmosphere for dinner before continuing our break away. Salsa Tapas and Grill was the perfect spot! All staff members who interacted with us were super friendly, especially with our children. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, spacious and stylish. The tapas menu was extensive, which we opted for, and there was also a kids menu if you wanted it. Tapas portions were all generous and delicious. We especially loved the cheesy nachos, garlic king prawns and meatballs - in fact we enjoyed everything we had. We spent £85 for four of us including drinks, and felt this was brilliant value for money. If we return to Southend in the future I’d definitely want to come back here again!

Tara and Harry never fail to be exceptional hosts and the Paint and Prosecco event last night was no exception . Fun and laughter in a beautiful, chilled atmosphere.

The waiting time was very good 10-20 minutes customer service is very good n staff are very understanding and kind food was good at a right temperature and tasted sublime overall excellent in all catagories

It's and old pub that is due a renovation, the staff is super amazing

Called in today for coffee. My friend bought a coffee with oat milk, which was lacking in coffee taste and tasted like hot milk, I took it back and the response was not what I would expect. A series of unhelpful and unsympathetic waitresses each passed the issue on to someone else and finally the manageress intervened. She claimed my friend complains every time she comes in about the coffee not being hot enough, and referred to an incident well over a year ago (we sent back a £15 salad on the grounds that it consisted of hardly anything at all other than lettuce ). The manageress then stormed upstairs and told my friend that she complained too often, mentioned the salad incident and suggested she never comes back again. How absolutely rude !!! I was left speechless. I have been there with this friend many, many times and she has only made the two complaints, apart from regularly having to ask for extra hot coffee as it's usually lukewarm. I have subsequently discovered on Trip Advisor that many people have reported similar or identical experiences, citing the rude and aggressive attitude of the manager and most of the decidedly unhelpful and indifferent staff. One bad review can be ignored; when it's multiple negative comments there's a sure sign something needs to change. Don’t bother with the place unless you don’t care being served warm coffee and overpriced basic food.

Top crew lovely food awesome view - Abbie was awesome - Chris and Frankie made us feel welcome too, on a busy evening. View really is spectacular thank you

This is such an underrated restaurant, come in for birthday lunch. No one was in only me and my fiancé. The staff were very friendly and the food was tasty! Quick service, large portions. Really recommend.

Fantastic cafe/lounge. Attended for the first time today for baby group that they have running every Tuesday, so very accommodating, clean and friendly staff. Will be coming more often!
