Bury St Edmunds

Probably the best restaurants in Bury, Maison Bleue menu focuses on fish. Modern decor, and a convenient situation in the town centre add to the attractions of this restaurant which has sister restaurants in Lavenham and Ipswich.

Baileys 2

A local coffee shop serving tasty homemade meals such as soup, pasta, a wide range of sandwiches, toasties, salads and homemade cakes. Excellent coffees. The perfect spot to lunch. Generous portions and a good price.

A pub/restaurant that brews three of its own beers in an otherwise Greene King dominated town. Reasonably priced good food and drink.

Tasty and reasonable Chinese food with a bias towards noodle-based dishes. Lots of options for vegetarians.

The Grid

A friendly local restaurant serving delicious contemporary takes on traditional cuisine using local and seasonal produce. Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful and the food is carefully prepared and delicious. There is also an extensive wine list featuring local wines as well as international favorites. The Grid is very reasonably priced, especially the lunch time and early evening fixed price menus.

The Linden Tree

Famed for massive portions of standard pub fare, the Linden Tree is definitely worth the short walk from the town centre for the hungry traveller. Conveniently located close to the train station.

Harriet's Tearoom

A great traditional afternoon tea - wide range of teas, coffees, scones, cakes, sandwiches and other food. Can be very busy, especially around lunchtime on a Saturday and occasionally service is slow, but it is worth waiting for, especially if you want to really feel like you're back in the 1940s. Occasionally they have a live pianist.
