The Barbican Kitchen Restaurant in Plymouth

Reviews

1. Alan Leech ★★★★★

   Having visited The Kentish Hare, also managed and run by the Tanner Brothers, we felt we should absolutely try The Barbican Kitchen. As the ethos of both restaurants is heavily rooted in using locally sourced and seasonal produce the menu was of course different to The Kentish Hare, but equally as fabulous. Excellence service added to the excellent meals added to a 5 Star experience.

   Very busy weekend in Plymouth, students arriving at the university and Seafest at the Barbican. I had booked but the earliest table available was 20.30. We turned up early in case there was a table and there was, a very nice corner table. Started off with gins and tonic because we were in a distillery. Skipped the starters and had very good mains followed by excellent desserts. Service was attentive, friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was great with lots of people having a relaxed and enjoyable time. Difficult to fault this restaurant.

   Blown away! Exceptional chicken breast mains and chocolate mousse and creme brûlée desserts. A highly recommended meal out when in Plymouth!

   A real gem in the South-West! We have visited Barbican Kitchen 3-4 times now, on our visit to see family in Plymouth, from London. We always make a point to have a date night here. It is our most favourite place to eat, even amongst the Michelin-starred restaurants we have been to. We just love the cosy, unstuffy, relaxed atmosphere of this restaurant. The ingredients are always the best quality, seasonal and fresh- this is reflected on the pleasantly ever-changing menu. We love trying different plates and love the recommendations from the staff. The prices for plates are more than fair - they reflect the quality of the cooking, the ingredients and the service. We know that if this were in London, we'd likely pay more than double our bill for the same food! The variety of options are truly exciting. Portion sizes are just perfect, if not generous. There is something for everybody and every 'food-mood' you are in. My partner has thoroughly enjoyed their beef burgers and loves their grilled steak options! I have a personal affinity for the 'catch of the day' and the other fish dishes on offer. I also often find myself dreaming about my next encounter with their sticky toffee pudding... A special mention must be made for the staff that work here (won't name names for privacy reasons). Attentive, not intrusive or pressurising and incredibly welcoming. Always vigilant of when we need a top-up of water! We love how friendly, polite and genuinely informative the staff are here. They go over and beyond to make sure that you are well looked after. They are the real gems of this place along with the exquisite food; just seriously lovely people that you want to see again. Well done, Tanner Brothers! See you soon!

   Had been before, enjoyed, come back again and enjoyed. Very reasonable menu, reasonably priced, well prepared and presented. Not mind blowing, but bank busting either. Pleasant ambiance and friendly service. Enjoyed the evening, would recommend and will be back.

   Not a cheap place by a long shot. But you get what you pay for, we'll worth it. Food was amazing. Service spot on. Would definitely go again for next special occasion.

   Food was very tasty however prices were on the high side. There was a good range of dishes on the menu, however service was a little slow and the waitress wasn’t the most welcoming. Probably would visit again but for the food only. It is however in a pretty location and decor is nice.

   A great place in a lively part of town. Offering a great selection of food, generous portions and all perfectly cooked. We had squid and parfait to start, squid was delicious and tender. We were lucky to have the Chateaubriand, there was just one available (worth calling ahead) Definitely recommend booking ahead.

   Great food and the truffle mayo and parmesan fries were the best ever!! Staff friendly and professional. Only down side was the mashed potato hubby had, was on the cold side of aired - admittedly they replaced it straight away with an individual bowl of the same, unfortunately this too was aired at best. That being said hubby was happy with rest of the meal, with the steak cooked perfectly.
