Eat and drink in Chester
In this week’s post, I wanted to share some of my favourite places to eat and drink in our wonderful hometown, Chester.
Chester has abundance of incredible restaurants, bars and pubs so it was hard to choose which places to include. So if you are a Chester bar/restaurant or pub and you are not included – no we do not dislike you, these are just the spots we are loving at the moment!
APERITIVO…
Paysan https://paysanwine.co.uk/ If you are ever in Chester looking to try a new wine, Paysan is the place to go! The cheese selection is divine and you will be in safe hands with wine and cheese pairings. The venue itself is really interesting, set in the historic Chester rows.
Cavern of The Curious Gnome https://thecavernofthecuriousgnome.co.uk/
Not only does this pub have a great name, it also has a wide selection of German, Belgian and British craft ales. The decoration inside the pub is described as ‘bonkers’, and we couldn’t agree more!
Both are located on Bridge Street Row.
That Beer Place https://thatbeerplace.co.uk/
Absolutely amazing amount of craft beers from across the world to choose from. It’s always a treat visiting That Beer Place as you never know what will be in stock. I would definitely would recommend the great range of Weiss beers!
Chester’s Indoor Market (relocating on Foregate Street)
Vin Santo https://vinsantochester.co.uk/
Located in Chester’s historic 13th Century crypted cellars on Watergate Street, Vin Santo is a wine shop and wine bar run by four friends with a passion for good wine. You can tell from the moment you enter that everyone there loves wine! A must place for any party.
Watergate Street
DINNER WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS…
Stile Napoletano https://stilenapoletanopizzeria.co.uk/
Watergate Street
Pizza that transports your tastebuds to the narrow alleys of Naples! Quick and tasty food place, which everyone must visit in Chester. Giacomo is undoubtedly a talent and I would recommend the pizza buns – two deep fried mini pizza buns with mustard/mayo sauce, smoked mozzarella, raw red prawn, courgette chips.
Hamayuu https://hamayuu.co.uk/
Watergate Street
Japanese food with same ethos as Da Noi! The chef at Hamayuu sources seasonal ingredients from the food market. Regardless of the time of year, you can be sure you’re enjoying the best produce the season has to offer. The chicken katsu curry is like a hug in a bowl!
Porta https://www.portatapas.co.uk/
Northgate Street
Delicious tapas, with a very relaxed feel that makes you think you are in bustling Madrid or Barcelona. You must try Buñuelos de gambas. Spicy prawn fritters, light and crispy, served with a herb mayonnaise!
