Best Seasonal Restaurants in Rye

Absolutely fantastic food. Would highly recommend for a relaxed and beautiful food

We had a lovely evening celebrating my partners birthday. We are local to Rye and often dine or lunch in The Mermaid. The food was delicious and was plentiful in a lovely dining room. However our evening was sum what spoiled by the couple dining behind us. They complained about every dish they ate and how individual ingredients were over powering others. They must have watched MasterChef recently and become food critics. We had the same dishes and they were delicious.

We had a lovely meal here with friends; very interesting very French menu, could have chosen all of it. Loved the mushrooms on toast, the special burger, the orange crème brûlée, the chocolate brownie. Nice quality wine list. Will definitely come again.

We had a truly lovely evening celebrating my husband’s birthday! From start to finish, everything was wonderful. We were welcomed with freshly made focaccia and a delicious pumpkin soup amuse-bouche to start. For our starters, I had the scallops with honey-glazed pork, while my husband chose the rabbit – both were absolutely delicious. For our mains, we enjoyed the fish pie and the short ribs. The short rib meat was so tender it literally melted in your mouth! We finished with the chocolate three ways, which was simply amazing (although we were so busy enjoying it that we forgot to take a photo!). A special mention to our lovely waitress, who was so attentive throughout, and the beautiful ambience made the whole evening even more special. A fantastic dining experience and the perfect way to celebrate a birthday. We would highly recommend and will definitely be back! 😊

Very impressed with the venue plus food, selection of beers and service. I don't have anything negative to say. I would certainly visit again if we come down to this area in the future.
