Mmmm...coffee

Chester is brimming with cafes and restaurants...there are almost too many to list, although we probably will at some point!


Meanwhile, here are those that we consider to be particularly good.


There are five 'special' cafes in central Chester; Carluccio's, Caffe Nero and Olio & Farina on Bridge Street, Joseph Benjamin on Northgate Street and Watergate's Deli which is on Watergate Row. They are all good in their own way; Carluccio's has a wonderful buzzy atmosphere and is almost always busy; Joseph Benjamin is a smaller,friendly independent cafe/restaurant that has amazing Carrot cake, Olio's is part of a franchise but Belinda who runs it makes it a bit special; they do a great soup, Watergate's is also a smaller independent place (without a loo unless you ask) and Caffe Nero is pretty much as you would expect but has a very good atmosphere nevertheless.
