Buxton

Restaurants in Buxton

  1. A

    Old Sun Inn

    The pick of the town's watering holes, but which retains an Edwardian-era ambience. Low ceilings, antique light fittings, flagstone floors and a different crowd in every cranny of this warrenlike ale-house make it the place to head for a pint - not to mention the surprisingly sophisticated pub grub.

  2. B

    Columbine Restaurant

    On the lane leading down beside the town hall, this understated restaurant is the top choice among in-the-know Buxtonites. The chef conjures up imaginative dishes using mainly local produce as well as sinful puddings. Bookings recommended.

    Café Nathaniel

    It's worth pitching up early to snare a seat at this relaxed but small café with scrubbed wooden tables and fresh seafood. It has an adjoining linen, lace and antique shop next door.

    Simply Thai

    Polished wood floors, Siamese sculptures and silk-attired staff make this an elegant place to enjoy refined Thai afternoon tea (2.30pm to 5pm, £15.95).

    Pavilion Cafe

    Set in a renovated wing of the Pavilion, these tearooms conjure up images of jazz-fuelled tea-dances sometime between the wars.

    Nat's Kitchen

    A relaxing dining room full of natural wood tones provides the backdrop to some inventive Modern British cooking. Ingredients are sourced from local suppliers and there are some smart B&B rooms upstairs. Bookings recommended.
