Outstanding eating in Suffolk

For the fish lovers

If you’re after an exceptional seafood experience, The Brudenell is for you. This coastal restaurant is situated in the quaint village of Aldeburgh. Just a stone’s throw from the beach,

Every table enjoys panoramic sea views. Local fishermen deliver their catch each morning – beach dug clams, River Deben mussels and Dover sole, to name just a few. Their menu changes seasonally, so expect crayfish and skate in the spring, while later months bring crab, cuttlefish and salmon.  

For the cocktail lovers

The Crown at Woodbridge – 2 AA Rosettes

There are many reasons to visit The Crown, and their impressive cocktail menu is just one of them. Not only do they use local produce in their dishes, they source local drinks suppliers too. From gins and ales, to teas and coffee. Sip on sweet fruit juice from HighHouse Farm or luxury fizzy drinks from Breckland Orchard. If you’re feeling peckish, their impressive British menu will no doubt hit the spot. From local pheasant and braised beef cheeks, to thrice-cooked parmesan soufflé – there’s something for everyone.

For the absolute foodies

There is a reason why tables at the popular Maison Bleue are hard to secure. This passionately run bistro has fine dining down to an art, with an ambience to match. Their menu consists of classic French dishes with modern Asian twists. Expect the likes of Devon crab meat with granny smith apple and caviar, or fillet of halibut with saffron and clam jus emulsion. This is a gem not to be missed.
