Restaurant in Chester

“We went for brunch on a quiet Monday morning. The Naughty Badger is hidden away up a staircase which leads to a small room, seating probably about 20 or so customers. We decided on The Naughty Badger as it's rated highly on local reviews, I'm going to be adding to this trend here. We were seated quickly and our coffees came even quicker, two lattes in latte glasses (not the biggest fan of them as they're more awkward to hold than cups) were brought to us at perfect drinking temperature, whoever was behind the coffee machine knew what they were doing. A rich, slightly nutty tasting coffee with a small foam top. For food, as always, I went with Eggs Benedict. At Badger, Eggs Benedict is two poached eggs atop a slice of sourdough, bacon and a paprika (I think) seasoning. The eggs were perfectly poached and rather large, with golden runny yolks. The hollandaise wasn't overwhelming, with a lemony/citrus tang to it. Three rashers of salty bacon, cooked with a crispy rind and a soft centre. My only criticism was that of the sourdough, it was thickly cut which made eating it a pain, literally. Thankfully it was only thicker on one end. Sourdough is rapidly falling off my favourite bread list with Eggs Benedict as the crust is often really hard when toasted which kind of fumbles the experience and doesn't go with how smooth the food should be. At Badger though, the bread itself was soft and lightly toasted, perfectly tearing apart as you cut into it. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at The Naughty Badger. the music wasn't for me, gave me uni vibes circa 2012 (which put it to 4 for atmosphere). But my partner loved it and vibed along. I'd definitely be looking to return should I be in Chester again. This place is well worth your time and money.”

“Great café! Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were friendly. A nice place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast or lunch.”

“Just exceptional as always. Never fails to deliver on all fronts. Good and drink selection and quality and just wonderful staff. We now live an hour away but will continue to frequent this wonderful venue”

“Called in to order a takeaway. Fantastic service and food was generous and authentic.”

“Please please please come to this place. Absolutely everything I ate was bliss. The waitress was friendly and sweet, the chef was friendly and sweet, and beyond bloody talented. I am on cloud nine eating here, best experience in Chester for my entire life. FYI: it's literally off the beaten path, you have to go down the cobblestones for Rufus court”

“We drove in from across the border for this coffee shop and it was very worth it. Such a cool interior and a great sunny space to sit outdoors. An ideal cafe for reading a book. Coffee was tasty, but the flat white had too much milk (more like a latte). Friendly staff.”

“The food at Guroma is excellent. I particularly love the tandoori chicken and the sauce it comes with. I haven’t had anything like it and crave it when I’m not in town. I told my friends I want to marry the chicken wings! The staff are lovely too and the food is prepared with love and care. Definitely recommend!”

“This place is a little gem in Blakemere Village Good beers, lovely staff/owners and great atmosphere They don’t do food but you can order from the food outlets within the centre…”

“Best breakfast in the port and opens at 6am so I can get a breakfast on my way home from doing a night shift”

“Brilliant place to visit if you can.”

“Had Sunday lunch. We had the roast beef. Came with 4 veg, + roast and mash potatoes. Food was hot when arrived ***** stars. Staff friendly and efficient. Well done, will return”

“Best coffee in Chester! Delicious batch brew and pastry on this visit. Stylish coffee shop with a great atmosphere and all the staff were friendly. Lovely to be able to sit outside and watch the world go by too.”

“This place is wonderful! Great price for the stay, well worth it. The included breakfast was phenomenal. The grounds are breathtaking. The gym and leisure club (pool, steam room) were very nice. The sauna needs (technical) work, because it wasn’t really heating well. Did not have a chance to place golf, but it looked to be in pristine condition, and challenging. Rooms are clean and very well kept. The towels were plush, pillows and beds very comfortable.”

“Been here many times now and always have a good time. Staff are friendly, vibe and music is great - and a lot of love and effort goes into the menu. Big recommend. Plus occasionally get to see a cool dog.”

“Came here for my brother’s birthday and so glad we did! The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. The chef’s fire show was great fun — loads of energy, laughter, and interaction that really brought the evening to life. It wasn’t just dinner; it was a proper show! The food itself was delicious too — full of flavour and cooked perfectly in front of us. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a really memorable night. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“The best Thai ever! The food and the service was fantastic, couldn’t recommend enough. The portions are massive and there is a wide range of food to choose from. We will definitely be back”

“Blue Bell is an absolute gem! Housed in a charming Tudor building, it offers lovely, cozy vibes and the food is simply scrumptious. We especially loved the tapas—highly recommended! The entire experience was elevated by our cheerful hostess, Lilly, who made us feel so welcome. Overall, a fantastic visit and a definite must-try.”

“Stopped by on a work trip to Chester - the hotel restaurant was busy and they recommended this place and I am really glad I went! The food was lovely - everything tasted very fresh and authentic. It was really busy but they were still able to find a table for me, and the food came out very quickly. Despite being busy, they were very attentive. I ordered the linguine al pesto and the tiramisu and both were fantastic. If I'm ever in Chester again, I'll be sure to pop by again!”

“This place is consistently spectacular. Amazingly authentic Turkish food, family run by the most beautiful friendly people and an incredibly fun and vibrant atmosphere. We come from Manchester every year for our wedding anniversary and this place never disappoints. We had the mixed meat platter for 2 and wowzers, come hungry because the portions are huge but so so delicious. We finished the evening talking with the owner into the early hours. She is a lovely lady and we will be back next year”

“Came back here as I remember really liking the place as a child and was still amazed with how good the restaurant still is. Me and my partner came into the restaurant at 19:30 on a Friday and greeted by the staff which were super friendly. The restaurant was very quiet as well which was very nice to see so we had no problem being seen when we needed to by the staff. Great selection on the menu and we chose the Seafood platter which we both really liked the look of as well as some extra garlic bread. We both really enjoyed the food. Although we would suggest avoiding the garlic bread as it was £4.70 and we only got two small pieces which we didn’t think was too great. Although we thought the seafood platter was really good for the price. We both really enjoyed all the food and would definitely come again.”

“Mark is a legend! Happy funny & efficient. Made our night 100% better. Food was great nice little plate so you get to taste everything.”

“Absolutely delightful pub and setting, we stopped off after a short walk on the canal. As my daughter loves live music they let us stay for a little while to little while and listen to it. We are very grateful to them, thank you. Is probably more catered to the hipster student types but if I was 15-20 years younger I would have loved it there. Excellent.”

“Excellent fish and chips with friendly and helpful staff. Love that they show where your fish and potatoes are from. Can tell they put a lot of heart and love into their food. Cod was excellent, soft and flaky with light crispy batter.”

“Excellent Sunday lunch and vey good value in today's financial climate (2 dinners for £22). All was presented in a large Yorkshire pud with plenty of meat, veg and gravy. Staff are very plesent and helpful although we had wine there is a large selection of craft beer.”

“We went to the cafe for a family lunch. (Pre-booked afternoon tea). It was a very idyllic setting with a stately charm. The food was delicious and the service excellent.”

“Decided to try based on the reviews and was not disappointed. Telephoned my order through and the lady who answered was bright and friendly. The food was prepared quickly and when I picked it up I was greeted with the same warm friendly welcome. Food was piping hot, good sized portions and definitely the best tasting vegetable rolls ever! Highly recommended and will definitely be ordering from here again.”

“Some of the best fish and chips that my wife and I have had. Wish that we had a chippy like this back in Taunton. Friendly service to boot.”

“This pub is a gem. The food was excellent. We particularly liked the simple food on the menu. Classic English dishes which are difficult to find. The best of the five pubs we ate in in Chester. I am not sure why it doesn't appear at the top of the lists for pub food in Chester.”

“I recently tried this Italian restaurant and it was amazing! The food was super fresh and full of flavor, The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were really friendly and helpful. I loved the whole experience and I definitely recommend this place if you’re craving delicious Italian food The waiter (Julius) was super polite, attentive, and really knew the menu well. He made great recommendations and checked on us just the right amount without being intrusive. His attitude added a lot to the overall experience and made the visit even better”
