Love the spot right by the water. The cod was really good, nice crispy batter. Chips were hot and proper. Just a solid, no-fuss place to land after a long walk along the shore.

Been coming here for years, the shawarma&#39;s always fresh and packed with flavour. Had the vegetable tajine this time too, spot on. They still do the little lokum with the bill, a nice touch.

Nice family-run spot. The owners are clearly passionate and really make an effort to make you feel welcome. It&rsquo;s a comfortable place to eat. The pasta was pretty good, though the portion was a touch smaller than expected.

The waiter really knew his stuff. We were a bit lost with the menu, but he took the time to explain a few dishes and steered us towards the braised lamb. Spot on. That kind of thoughtful service makes a real difference.

The bagels are really good, we were still thinking about them days later. I liked how comfortable the seating was, it made for a relaxed breakfast. Good value for the quality you get.

Pad Thai is my go-to here, always hits the spot. The lychee mocktail was a nice, refreshing touch on a warm evening. Solid spot for a casual meal.

Nice break from the usual. The enjeera bread is spongy and perfect for sharing. Felt like a proper social meal, everyone just digging in together. A bit loud when it gets busy, but that&#39;s part of the vibe.

The beef rendang here is something else. Slow-cooked for hours, the meat just falls apart. The spices are deep and complex, not just heat. It&#39;s rich, almost like a curry but drier. A proper, hearty dish. Could eat this every week.

Coffee comes in these Huskee cups, made from coffee husks. Nice touch, feels good to hold. The rest is pretty standard for the area.

A clean spot with a homely feel. I specifically asked about their sourcing and was pleased to confirm they use Halal meat and poultry. The chicken in my dish was really fresh and tender. It&#39;s good to know the ingredients are handled with care.

First time at Efsane, we will return. Warm welcome from staffVery attentive Food amazing presentation and taste Ambience was perfectBeautiful and tasteful decor Definitely recommend a visit.

The food was really tasty and well presented. I would highly recommend the steak, which was delicious.  The staff were attentive and helpful and thoughtful, without being intrusive. There was a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, with excellent background music, which was quiet enough not to spoil conversation. When it got dark outside, the change in the lighting changed the ambience, which I really liked. I would highly recommend the Vista Bar Cafe at The View hotel.

A nice little cafe just off the promenade. The coffee was really good, and it had a decent local crowd. Staff were friendly. It did get a bit busy, so finding a table took a minute.

Good spot for a business meeting. Had the afternoon tea on the balcony - decent sandwiches, scones were a good size. The view over the square is a plus. Service was efficient, which is what I needed.

Been coming here for years, a proper family-run chippy. You can taste the experience in the fish and chips. The batter is always light and crispy, just how it should be. A real classic.

The back garden is a nice spot. Sat there for a coffee and a slice of their lemon drizzle cake. The cake was good, moist with a sharp icing that wasn&#39;t too sweet. A bit pricey for the slice size though.

Lovely spot, just a few minutes from the sand. We stopped in after a walk and the whole place just felt... right. That old-school, no-fuss charm is everything. A proper seaside meal.

The portion for the main course was a bit smaller than expected for the price. Still, the food itself was tasty. Just left feeling like I could have eaten a bit more.

Always busy, but the wait&#39;s never too bad. Perfect for a quick catch-up with mates.

Lovely little spot that feels like stepping back in time. The decor is all vintage 1950s Italian, and it&#39;s run by a family. Had a slice of their lemon tart with my coffee - just the right amount of sweet. A nice, quiet corner to sit and read for a bit.

The food for our group of 20 was still hot when it arrived. Everything was neatly packed.

Will behind the counter is so lovely to chat with! You can tell he genuinely loves his coffee, and it makes the whole vibe of the place so much friendlier. Perfect spot to catch up with a mate.

Came with a big group, and the made-to-order noodles were spot on. Even our vegetarian friend found plenty to enjoy. Portions were generous, everyone left full and satisfied.

Food&#39;s fresh, tastes good. I&#39;ve got another Chinese place right next door but I&#39;ll wait for this one.

The chicken shish was good, but the salad really stood out for its crisp, fresh ingredients. A nice, healthy option.

The fish and chips are always fresh, never greasy. It&#39;s nice to find a takeaway that feels this reliable. The place itself is clean and bright, which makes waiting for your order a bit more pleasant.

Cosy spot with lovely vintage decor. The cakes were deliciously moist, but what really stood out was their tea selection - perfectly brewed and paired so well with my slice. Staff were sweet, lighting just right for a relaxed chat. A proper little escape.

Solid Sunday roast at the village pub. Beef was spot on, proper Yorkshire puddings too. Nice pint to go with it. Staff were sound.

The fish and chips were lovely and classic, and I have to say the mushy peas were the best part. The staff were really nice and attentive, which made for a relaxed lunch. My only small note is that the wooden chairs got a bit uncomfortable after a while.

The fish and chips were spot on! Perfect for a casual catch-up with mates. The batter was so light and the chips weren&#39;t greasy.
