Bury St Edmunds Restaurant Guide

For “an exquisite Gallic fine dining experience”, Pascal & Karine Canevet’s well-known and “very atmospheric” venue near the cathedral is “always a joy” (and fans “cannot understand why it does not have a Michelin star...”). Service is “knowledgeable and perfectly paced”, and the food is “very French” with “everything tasting gorgeous” (fish and seafood are particularly good). Top Tip: “set lunches are magnificent value for money”.

“A real find” – “you’ll be blown away” by the “chilled fine dining, exquisite flavour combinations and excellent wine list” at Zach Deakins’s “quirky” venture which occupies a smartly appointed, timbered building in the heart of the town. “Where is its Michelin star?”

The relaxed ground floor brasserie of this attractive Georgian coaching inn, in the town centre, wins positive (if limited) feedback as an all-day dining destination with options from breakfast on.

Popular, modernised old pub in the heart of the town tipped as one of “the best in the area” thanks to its quality pub grub (with regularly changing specials); plus decent wine, and the fact that – being owned by the local Brewshed brewery – “they brew their own beer” just down the road.
