  1. A

    St Martin's Tea Rooms

    A little cocoon of nooks and crannies tucked away in a part-18th-century, part-medieval town house, this passionately organic cafe serves freshly ground coffee, wholesome, mostly vegetarian, food and a sinful selection of desserts. There's also a guest piano with which to shatter the tranquil scene if you so wish.

    Woodies Wine Bar & Brasserie

    This classy but relaxed, lively but romantic restaurant has a darkly beamed front and a rustic-chic conservatory dotted with citrus trees and entwined with grapevines and fairy lights at the back. It serves quality Mediterranean food.

    Comme Ça

    Run by a Franco-English couple, this friendly French place does traditional Normandy cuisine in a converted Georgian inn, with a lovely vine-covered alfresco area. It's a short walk north of the centre.

    Cloisters Cafe

    Sparkling marble-floored cafe in the cathedral grounds with sunny walled garden and airy atmosphere. It's a good spot for simple sandwiches, cakes and fair-trade drinks.

  5. Tudor Rose

    This bustling, kitschy family-run tearoom is cluttered with everything from faux armour to wooden tennis rackets, to ships' wheels, to a portrait of the Queen. As well as tea and cakes, breakfasts, burgers, Sunday roasts and other substantial meals are served here.

  6. Town House

    The only thing that rivals the stunning 16th-century Florentine gilded-walnut ceiling at this compact and very elegant eatery is the acclaimed British cuisine with a European twist and sparkling atmosphere. Book ahead.

    Field & Fork

    In the new wing of the Pallant House Gallery, this sophisticated eatery has paintings and display cases, and a sunny courtyard that's a good spot for sandwiches, cakes and heartier main meals.

  9. Bay Tree

    Frequented by famished antique hunters, this uncluttered eatery keeps things surprisingly free of yesteryear knickknacks. Everything from basic panini to sophisticated dishes blending local produce with Mediterranean flavours populates the menu.
