Fine Dining in Suffolk
Suffolk boasts a wide range of dining options, from fine food shops to fine dining restaurants. Wherever you might be in Suffolk, you’re never too far from multiple fine dining options. Here are just a few of the choices you can enjoy when dining out in the area.
Those of you seeking delicious, high quality, A La Carte French cuisine in a beautiful and interesting location are in for a real treat with the following three sister restaurants:
Mariners Restaurant
The recently relaunched Mariners Restaurant in Ipswich not only offers superb French cuisine but also provides guests with unique surroundings in which to enjoy it. This French Brassiere is found onboard a 110 year-old Dutch boat docked at Ipswich Marina. Originally launched in 1899, the boat has a long and varied history – including being sunk, raised and repaired, and also once being fitted out as a Red Cross hospital ship. However, it has been a much loved French restaurant since 1994, retaining many original features that reflect its authenticity. Guests are well cared for by helpful and friendly staff and may choose from an extensive menu, including A La Carte dining, at a very reasonable price whilst taking in the views across the Mariner. Opening times are Tuesday-Saturday for both lunch and dinner.
Maison Bleue Restaurant
In the heart of the beautiful and historic town of Bury St Edmunds is the wonderful Maison Bleue, serving superb French cuisine. This restaurant has a reputation that is tough to beat – being the owner of 2 AA Rosettes and also being voted the winner of the East of England 'Good Food Guide' Restaurant of the Year 2010. Guests will be spoilt for choice by the great many delicious options available on the menu, and fans of sea food will not be disappointed. There is also an extensive wine list, plus bookings of up to 120 people are available – Maison Bleue is a very popular restaurant so early booking is always advised. Opening times are Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, and an early pre-theatre dinner is available upon request.
The Great House Restaurant & Hotel
As with the previous two restaurants, The Great House Restaurant & Hotel offers excellent French cuisine in a delightful and rich fine dining setting within the market place in Lavenham. First built during the wool trade era and lived in as a private house, The Great House has been extensively – but lovingly – renovated, and was turned into a boutique hotel in 1985. The accommodation comprises of five luxurious en suite bedrooms with over-sized beds, and guests are warmly welcomed with complimentary fruit and decanter of sherry. The restaurant - winner of the East of England 'Good Food Guide' Restaurant of the Year 2009 - reflects the wonderful old-world charm of the house, and features French doors that open onto a pretty stone-paved courtyard. Diners will again be treated to an extensive menu and wine list, and pre-booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.

The Bildeston Crown
With its charming atmosphere and exclusive furnishings, The Bildeston Crown restaurant really is the epitome of the perfect English restaurant.

The George, Cavendish
The fresh produce of the season is always utilised in the imaginative menu and the finest wine producers are featured on the wine list along with superb real ales, like the locally produced Woodeford's Wherry.

Rutland Arms Hotel
Newmarket’s Rutland Arm’s Hotel offers a wonderful welcome to guests. This former coaching inn is located in the heart of Suffolk and is built around a cobbled courtyard that dates from the reign of Charles II, circa 1651. Many of the original features can still be seen in the hotel and although the comfort and atmosphere is most definitely modern, the two combine impeccably.
