Eating out in Windsor

We are blessed with lots and lots of good restaurants in windsor. In fact it is one of the best towns for food in Berkshire, if not the whole UK. Choose one of the following: links to see what is available.

Afternoon Tea in Windsor

The Wren Hotel on the Bridge does a good tea, but for the full british luxury afternoon tea experience, the Castle Hotel on Windsor High Street is the place to go. It is definitely not a bargain price cuppa, but the comfort levels, high standards of service, and quality of the tea, sandwiches, scones and petit fours make it worth trying afternoon tea at the Castle Hotel.

Pizza restaurants in Windsor

For Pizza we have Don Beni's (map) on the High Street which does authentic pizza and italian dishes in a lively location. The pizzas are stonebaked in a really hot oven and the portions are large. This is authentic italian pizza and the wine list is fully of fruity italian reds.

We also have a couple of chain pizza places in windsor including

Pizza Express (map)

Zizi's a few doors down which has a child-friendly policy.

Indian restaurants in Windsor

Curry by royal appointment (yup, the Queen gets her take-aways from Windsor) is available from the Red Rose Tandoori (map). The menu and decor are old school indian dining.

Nicola reckoned that for a great quality curry, The Viceroy (map) on Peascod Street cannot be beaten. She particularly liked their Duck jalfrezzi. She added that "The staff are lovely, the atmosphere refined and the prices stunningly reasonable".

However, in October 2007 David emailed us to say:

"14 of us (7 couples) met up for a chat and meal (at the Viceroy). We were disappointed by both the service and the food. Taking our order took 45 minutes. Lots of cream had been added to the sauce and the meat portions reduced to make the food go a bit further - it was bland and I felt ripped off."

The Spice Route (map) on the High Street was doing interesting asian dishes with a twist. It used to be owned by renown cook and author Mridula Baljekar but she sold it to new owners in December 2006. It will be interesting to see what emerges. Spice Route is hidden away halfway down a big flight of stone steps so acess is poor.

Thai restaurants in Windsor

Thai Square (map) on the high street near the theatre is the hippest thai in this lovely Berkshire town.

The Jornin (review) on St. Leonards Road sells amazingly good value home cooked thai food. Very highly rated!

Sadly, both the The Thai Castle and the Siam closed in spring 2007

Japanese restaurants in Windsor

A branch of Wagamamas noodle bar has opened in the basement of the Harte and Garter. This is a great lunchtime eatery where you get healthy delicious noodle soups, teriyaki and other 'street food' style dishes. Seating is solid wood only, no cushions, so it can be a bit hard on the derrier..

Nambu-tei is a new Japanese restaurant which recently opened at
12 Thames Street, Windsor, SL4 1PL. We had lunch here in January 2008. Clean and brighter than the previous restaurant to occupy the premesis, the Nambu-tei is primarily a sushi bar offering a totally standard menu of sushi and sashimi dishes. Their miso soup portion was a little short, but otherwise there was nothingto complain about. However there was lots to smile about when we got the bill. It is nice to see a new restaurant in ton that doesn't charge rediculous prices just because they are in Windsor.

Mediterranean restaurants in Windsor

The Green Olive Tapas bar below is a small independent so the food is very good most evenings but we have had one report in 2005 of the chef having an off evening.

Latinos (map) is a greek taverna right behind the guildhall at 3 Church Lane. Latino is a family run restaurant offering standard Taverna fare. Live Bouzouki music on a Friday and Saturday night and a bit of dancing and plate smashing can make is a great party night out.

Zizi's Italian Restaurant

 

Anglo-French restaurants in Windsor

Both the big hotels on the High Street (The Harte and Garter (map) and the Castle Hotel (map) do anglo-french cuisine to a high standard.

Stroks (map) restaurant is attached to the Christopher Wren hotel on the bridge. The atmosphere is formal and a bit imposing. The wine cellar is excellent but the food is expensive. Stroks is considered good for theatre goers who want to make an upmarket night of it.

Monty's Riverside Restaurant (map) on Windsor Bridge , Windsor, SL4 6BT
Mrs King reports: "My husband and I ate at Montys about a year ago; the food was excellent and the service even better. Not cheap by any means but worth a visit for a special occasion."

Vanilla Bar (map) on Goswell Hill is very new and very cool. A real saturday night out venue for the younger generation.


The House on the Bridge Riverside Restaurant
71a High Street, Eton, caters to business lunches during the week, but does an excellent (if somewhat overpriced) sunday lunch. Dress code. - 01753 860914

Bel and the Dragon (review) by the bridge is exceptionally good and locals rave about it for its fantastic atmosphere and fantastic (although not cheap) food. We recently (November 2005) went back to the Bel and Dragon after a rather disappointing meal there in Summer. We are very pleased to report that the food was back up to top class standards after the dip in standards earlier in the year. Nicola and I are pleased to recommend Bel and the Dragon to anybody.

Newly opened at the end of 2006 our first review of the Greene Oak in Oakley Green (west Windsor) is full of praise for this lovely new gastropub.

Chinese restaurants in Windsor

For Chinese food there is an excellent little place called the Hong Kong (map) on Alexandra Rd. It is worth hunting down their Crispy Duck which is always wonderful.

Mexican restaurants in Windsor

If you fancy mexican food, then why not visit Charley's Horse under the arches at Goswell Hill which advertises itself (somewhat curiously) as the second oldest mexican restaurant in England.

Restaurants Further Afield

Of course, if you don't like any of that, there is always Eton, just across the river or Bray village, just down the road where you can find two Michelin Starred Restaurants and a new Italian!

A little further still, the Black Boys Inn in Hurley is now (officially) one of the UK's best gastropubs.

The Vanilla Pod in Marlow is considered worth a drive by Windsor residents.

Or perhaps you are just looking for a take away? We have takeaways in Windsor too.
