Best restaurants near me in Dedham, United Kingdom

Best Chinese in Colchester and one of our favourite restaurants, the service is always friendly and the food is fresh. Really great experience would recommend to anyone

We came for the first time for my husbands birthday. We were greeted by very friendly staff, although it was hot they did very well not letting that affect the level of service. Very attentive on drinks and the food was delicious. Will look forward to returning!

Carluccio's Colchester is located in a delightful penthouse above Fenwick's Department Store in the High Street, so easily reached by bus or car. We used St Mary's multistorey car park prebooked for four hours using MiPermit. The restaurant is quiet and comfortable with an ambience of italian delicacies and subdued woodwork. Our service was prompt but not hasty. The lunch menu was good. We had a selection of pasta and escalope dishes followed by superb italian desserts and the best coffee that I have experienced of late. We could take our time over coffee before leaving. A very nice experience all told.

On a short trip to Essex (4 days) this was without doubt the best food served. The slip sole was excellently cooked and served in a tasty sauce alongside peas and samphire. And the lamb dish was good too - the lamb pieces had been roasted in a mould and served with very tasty carrots and potatoes. There was good cooking all round and we dined in a music free dining room. Good pint of beer but the red wine (two glasses -house and rioja) were disappointing - the only "blot on the landscape".

Overall a lovely experience. Went for Sunday lunch with friends. 3 of us had the chicken was very tasty although mine was a bit on the small side. 1 of us had the beef which despite being assured it was lean, turned out not to be. We commented and immediately were offered another piece or something else, which they chose chicken. So customer service was very good.
