Top Quirky Restaurants in Cheshire
Not your usual knife and fork job. Cheshire’s got curry houses in chapels, pasta bars that play vinyl, and cafes that are also plant shops. Some eateries are cheap and cheerful, others a bit more polished with decors that will take your guests’ breath away. Our quirky restaurants are a break from the bland. Great for birthdays, first team brunches or a Tuesday that needs cheering up. Service is solid, comms are quick, and the food usually comes with a surprise or two. Compare prices and discover the most unique spaces to eat and drink in Cheshire.
