A rare mum and daughter lunch 'date', we decided to go to Relish in the town centre, Scarborough. A lovely eatery, the menu was very varied and tempting. And if, like me, you are seeking gluten free options, then Relish doesn't disappoint. We were sat in the Naughty Corner (yes, it was literally called this !) and we had hot drinks and opted for the grilled halloumi meal with fries. The meals came very promptly and were delicious. Reasonably too, by the way, and no skimping on portions, all beautifully presented. I would definitely recommend.
Recently was in Scarborough visiting family for a month. We went to Relish three times as we enjoyed it so much the first time we went. Lovely food, good coffee and great service. Prices are fair for the quality. We were with a small toddler and found the kids meals excellent. High chairs are available too. The amount you get in the side of halloumi is nuts, I think it must be a full block!
I came upon this well appointed café on a cold and miserable Wednesday. The layout is excellent and there's a ramp rather than stairs which is a boon for disabled people such as me. Located down an alley known as Waterhouse Lane, it is truly hidden from view and could be potentially hard to find. The pleasant interior is tastefully decorated, bright and clean.
Came here Thursday and ordered a Dirty burger, No Fuss burger, normal fries and Dirty fries .Dirty fries have just the right amount of cheese and bacon and the std fries also very good. The burgers are so juicy and cooked to perfection accompanied with a brioche bun. Not only is this one of the best burgers I've ever had the rest of the ingredients used by owner/chef Paul are of the highest quality. Add this to the happy smiley staff and you have a wonderful dining experience....oh yeah, also the restaurant is immaculate. See you soon Relish!!!
Lovely cafe situated just off the main streets in the centre of Scarborough town centre. Really worth a visit as the food here is amazing! I'm coeliac and they were able to cater gluten free for me- I was advised all options on the menu except two could be adapted to be gluten free for me which was brilliant! Food tasted amazing (the gluten free option pic is the halloumi wrap which was done on a gluten free ciabatta roll instead) and tasted amazing! Didn't stay to try the cakes unfortunately but there was a gluten free lemon drizzle on offer!
