Eating in Ipswich (England)
Eating in Ipswich (England)
St Nicholas Street in Ipswich has several restaurants. You can eat Greek, Italian, French, Thai, Chinese, Indian and modern British cuisine. The best of these are Keo's and The Galley for British food, The Ghandi and Zaika for Indian Food, Trongs for Chinese, and Kwan Thai for Thai.
Another good area to eat in is the waterfront with an abundance of local choices, lots of good British cuisine and also a french restaurant. The best by far along here is The Salthouse Harbour Hotel which is rated very highly. Others worth a try are The Bistro on the Quay, Il Punto, The Waterfront, and Quayside.
Away from the two main areas are plenty more options. The Arboretum, located near the Ipswich museum is fast becoming a town favourite with rave reviews. Award winning restaurant Aqua Eight serves unrivalled Chinese and south east asian food. My Keralam (southern indian) and Mr.Wings (chinese) offer good food right next to the Ipswich Regent Theatre.
Options out of the town centre include The Greyhound on Henley Road, The Tuddenham Fountain on Tuddenham Road and Milsoms at Kesgrave located off the Main Kesgrave Road.
Loch Fyne at Mortimers on the Quay, . Average, overpriced, seafood restaurant that has very very few vegetarian options (most parties have someone that needs to be catered for).
Il Punto's, on the dockside, . Despite its name, a good French restaurant on a boat permanently moored on the Quay. Probably the best restaurant in town, though a bit expensive.
Trongs, Tel: +44 (0) 1473 256833. Ipswich's best Chinese restaurant (though the proprietor is Vietnamese); the main problem is booking is required at least a week in advance if you wish to dine on a Friday or Saturday evening.
My Keralam, Tel: +44 (0) 1473 288599. Ipswich's only real Indian (South Indian) restaurant (there are other Bangladeshi restaurants in town). Superb food, a bit of a small restaurant and the lighting could be better. Good vegetarian, fish and a few meat dishes. Very efficient service, reasonable prices. Diagonally opposite the Regent Theater.
Kwan Thai Restaurant, 14 St. Nicholas Street, ☎ +44 (0)1473 253 106. �
Townhouse Restaurant, Orwell Place, ☎ 01473 230254, . The Townhouse is a great restaurant in the town centre, serving contemporary British food. �
Brewery Tap, Cliff Road, ☎ 01473 225501, . The Brewery Tap is a fantastic pub serving really great locally sourced food made on the premises by a great chef. They also serve a wide range of local beers, including the Suffolk lager, Calvors. If this place had an ego, it would be a gastro pub. Quiz night every other Thursday and regular live music of the acoustic variety that you can still hold a conversation over. If Carlsberg (which they don't serve) made pubs...�;-) �
Zaika, St Nicholas St, Ipswich, ☎ 01473 210110, . Zaika is the best Indian restaurant in Ipswich. The menu has a lot of the standard curry house fayre on it, but also a very good range of dishes unique to them. Everything is made on the premises from raw ingredients. It's a tad more expensive than most others, but well worth it. You'll need to book to get in. �
