The 20 Best Cuisine experience in Esher

“Visited for the first time whilst visiting the area for the Hampton Court flower show. Very clean restaurant with a relaxing vibe. Helpful and friendly waiter who also held the door open for us when we left. Fresh, tasty and flavoursome food- perfect sized portions. I couldn’t decide between a 4 star or 5 star review, it would actually be a 4.5 star review if that was possible. As the fried rice with chicken was the best I’ve ever had I finally decided on a 5 star review. Worth a visit if you are in the area.”

“Delicious lunch! Couldn't be happier and we will definitely be returning! The lunch tapas deal is great value for money and you don't lose any of the quality!”

“5 Stars – Clean, Delicious, and Absolutely Worth It! I don’t usually write reviews, but this kebab shop truly deserves recognition. The food here is consistently fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can taste the quality in every bite—from the tender, juicy kebabs to the perfectly grilled vegetables and freshly made sauces. What really sets this place apart is how clean and well-maintained everything is. The kitchen is spotless, the staff handle food with care, and everything feels hygienic and professional. It’s refreshing to find a place where you can enjoy amazing street-style food while also feeling confident about how it's prepared. The service is friendly and efficient, and the prices are more than fair for the quality you get. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a late-night bite, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone who loves good food done right!”

“Cote in Esher is our go-to for a quality meal and great atmosphere. We've been going for over a decade. Imagine our surprise when we were waited on by Vanessa. She was an absolute delight! So helpful, so attentive, so lovely - in every way. Thank you Vanessa, for making our meal in Esher even more memorable.”

“A Truly Wonderful Stay – Even with a Rocky Start What a fantastic experience from start to finish—even though our trip began on a difficult note. My wife was injured on the way to The Bear, and we couldn’t have been met with more kindness and care. The staff went above and beyond, and Tracy was an absolute gem—warm, genuine, and made us feel like we were staying with friends rather than in a hotel. This stay really highlighted the contrast with one of the sister hotels we visited, which lacked the same warmth and charm. It’s our second time at The Bear—we stayed last year, and although my wife was initially hesitant about staying in a pub setting, she ended up loving it so much that it topped her list for this year’s trip. We noticed several subtle improvements since our last visit—small touches that really add up and elevate the overall experience. It’s clear that care and attention to detail are a priority here. If we had one minor complaint, it would be the limited parking, but it’s a small trade-off for such a welcoming and comfortable stay. Top rated—we’d love to return again.”

“Great sushi v fresh particularly the sashimi on Xmas eve ,went down well with family”

“The community rebuilt this park cafe and it is an excellent facility enjoyed by everyone who uses the park and Claygate Primary School. On a sunny weekend you will see many groups and families playing games, having fun, eating ice creams, with drinks etc. Food gets 4 stars only because it is not Michelin starred.”

“One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Quality food with nice friendly staff. I’m craving their food to come back again”

“My wife, daughter, and I ate here while visiting Chessington World Adventures. The food was fantastic, the ambience was lovely, and the staff were patient and very welcoming. The staff welcomed us and gave enough time between each course and couldn't be more helpful. The food was as good as a meal in Italy! We ordered both the bruschetta and caprese salad between my wife and l, and the tastes were well-balanced and only bettered by the fresh pumpkin ravioli and pizza. If we visit the area in the future, we will certainly be going back!”

“Delicious meal - awesome for our gluten and dairy free friends”

“We went there for Xmas dinner. The prawns were floating in a sea of oil. Avoid The sea bass was cooked perfectly We sat outside under heated cover but it was still quite cold”

“Great mocha and vegan mozzarella and tomato panini!!! The cheese was so good in it - like the real thing. My second visit and would definitely come back again. Even more vegan options would be amazing, eg. cakes. Staff member was a bit quiet”

“Hadn’t booked but they were able to easily accommodate. I at first thought they were closed but was just the first customer of the evening! (It was a Monday night). It could maybe have done with some music in the background. But the decor was wonderful & service good. The food came out super speedy. I had coconut rice & vegetarian Thai green curry w/ tofu. It was some of the best Thai food I have eaten - and that includes in Thailand. Very reasonably priced. Will most definitely be going back.”

“I am so happy that the place we chose to eat originally was closed and we visited this tapas restaurant instead! Lovely food! Everything was delicious, and portions were really generous. I really liked the service. The lady was so nice and explained everything to us. There was no long wait and everything was fresh. I am sure we will visit again if we are in the area.”

“Great atmosphere. Good is delicious. All the staff are friendly but William is particularly friendly and makes an amazing Bailey's coffee.”

“My goodness this restaurant is incredible and delicious! We had a big party of 8 people and service was remarkable. Beautiful atmosphere and wide variety of menu options and lots of gluten free options! Alex took such great care of all of us and went out of his way to make sure all of my dishes were celiac friendly! I highly recommend this spot. The Patatas Bravas were particularly delicious! Thank you Alex!”

“Fabulous food; lovely staff and chef; great value lunch time menu. Went there with family today for our anniversary and we had the perfect lunch. We highly recommend. Domo arigato!”

“we had a birthday celebration , pizza making party for my 8 years old son our host Sasha was incredible. She did exceptionally well, and kept all the kids beautifully engaged, plus was so patient with 15 kids. Would definitely revisit again.”

“very good food and good price and good service, very welcoming”

“The good Earth is the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food is absolutely delicious. We had the chicken satay and chicken and chive dumplings for starters, char siu pork and kaarage chicken for main and a coffee and crème brûlée for dessert. The service is very friendly and the staff are very attentive. Would recommend for anyone to check out!”

“Came here for a friend’s birthday for cocktails and dinner and really enjoyed it. We arrived just after happy hour had finished but had called ahead and Ajay very kindly extended the offer for us to enjoy some of the fab Margaritas. Food was amazing (we chose mostly from the Indian selection). Ajay was a friendly and hospitable host and we will be back to try a few more dishes and cocktails!”

“Orangery Tea House is a spacious cozy spot with a lovely, inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and efficient, and our food arrived quickly. We ordered the Vegetarian Breakfast, Avocado Toast, and Salmon Bagel—all of which were delicious. The cappuccino was also excellent. We made sure to arrive early on Sunday to beat the weekend crowd, and it paid off. Highly recommend for a relaxing and tasty experience!”

“I was looking for somewhere local for a traditional Sunday roast and I am pleased that I chose the Marquis. Food and drink were excellent. The service by Isabel was first class. Recommended.”

“Ordered from Spielburger a few times via deliveroo and can guarantee EPIC food. We've mostly ordered the meal deal of beef burgers with fries and milkshakes - all taste delicious. Recently tried the philly cheesesteak and it was amazing. Thanks Spielburger! We can't wait to visit you when the cinemas open again soon :-)”
