Things to do in Rochester
1. Elizabeth's Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 352 reviews
A warm welcome to Elizabeth's, our family run restaurant in Rochester, Kent. Manuel & Cristina opened this beautiful 16th century Tudor building as a restaurant in 1992. The restored beams, exposed brickwork and classic vintage design pieces create an elegant and comfortable space to enjoy a superb range of food. The menus reflect our signature European style with seasonal produce sourced from Kent producers where possible. Not forgetting our Spanish roots, there is a Tapas evening every last Thursday of the month so come and try some delicious, authentic Spanish dishes! We look forward to welcoming you soon.

A wonderful restaurant. Service is attentive and efficient without being in your face. The complimentary amuse bouche offered was a nice touch.
The food is locally sourced, freshly prepared and attractively served. A three course lunch from the set menu option was simply delicious, not expensive compared to what you would pay for a comparable offer in London and the wine was very reasonably priced. I would definitely return and can whole heartedly recommend.

Always happy to see you and the welcome is genuinely Italian. We have eaten here on quite a few occasions not weekly but now and again when we are in Rochester. The food is always constantly good and presented with thought.
Even when they are very busy they always make you feel special.
3. TOPES Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 695 reviews
TOPES restaurant is a modern British restaurant centrally located in Rochester High Street in Kent and has been awarded two AA rosettes. Chris Small, head chef and co-owner, has created several different menus, including a special set price lunch (L16 for 2 courses and coffee) and mid-week evening menu (3 courses for L25). In addition, there is an a la carte menu for Friday and Sunday evenings and traditional roasts on Sunday. All ingredients are bought in fresh on a daily basis from local suppliers and the menus reflect seasonal produce. The restaurant is set in a 15th, 16th and 17th Century building and many of the original features remain. However, the restaurant has a modern feel to it to reflect the modern style of dishes on offer.

Went with a dear friend to celebrate our respective birthdays. We indulged in a three course lunch and it was simply beautiful. The mussels were delicate in a light broth, the salmon perfectly cooked and a excellent selection of cheese for dessert. Atmosphere warm, friendly and cosy. Very special indeed.

Quality in Indian food in a comfortable atmosphere with friendly staff
Reviewed By Kimbrini - Canterbury, United Kingdom
All dishes were pretty oily and the meat content was small. However the spices were ok and the Bombay aloo was very tasty. However, this is the problem with Trip Advisor; there is only ‘average’ or ‘very good’...where really I would preferred to say ‘good’. I’d get a take away from there again though. :)
5. Simply Italian

Christmas being a favourite time for over-pricing and limited selection in restaurants I expected to be disappointed when dining with colleagues. I should have known better.
I haven't been to Simply Italian for some time, but the quality was high, the ability to cater for off the menu choices was met with equanimity and the service was as ever excellent.
No chance of faulting this restaurant.

We had a lovely dinner on the Saturday before New Years Eve. We were early for our table but seated right away. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was great and portions a good size. We had been told that they would need the table back early for a later booking but we never felt rushed. The restaurant is bigger than expected and it was busy, but didn't feel crowded or too noisy.

Reading the previous reviews I expected a lot from this restaurant. It turned out to be just your average chinese place. Staff appeared quite unfriendly and a bit arrogant, awful communication from their side. When I asked for plain noodles to accompany my lemon chicken the lady said that I can’t have that, and pointed me to the “noodles” section on the menu asking me to choose something. I wanted some advice because I’m not too familiar with chinese food but she wouldn’t advise me. Looking at the menu I didn’t see such thing as simple noodles so out of desperation I chose a “noodle chow mein” and asked what chow mein means, and what exactly that is, but the lady gave me a confused look and only said “these are noodles”.... ok.... when it arrived it ended up being a whole meal in itself, noodles with prawns, vegetables and sauce. She hasn’t mentioned that even though I specifically asked! Obviously this didn’t really go with my lemon chicken so it all tasted a bit awkward.. well, at least we got prawn crackers for free as a starter..
