Best Seasonal Restaurants in Rye

We had a truly lovely evening celebrating my husband’s birthday! From start to finish, everything was wonderful. We were welcomed with freshly made focaccia and a delicious pumpkin soup amuse-bouche to start. For our starters, I had the scallops with honey-glazed pork, while my husband chose the rabbit – both were absolutely delicious. For our mains, we enjoyed the fish pie and the short ribs. The short rib meat was so tender it literally melted in your mouth! We finished with the chocolate three ways, which was simply amazing (although we were so busy enjoying it that we forgot to take a photo!). A special mention to our lovely waitress, who was so attentive throughout, and the beautiful ambience made the whole evening even more special. A fantastic dining experience and the perfect way to celebrate a birthday. We would highly recommend and will definitely be back! 😊

We booked at short notice for a Tuesday evening. We enjoyed our evening very much. The food was very good. The service was great (our waitress was Sarah); she was patient, helpful and attentive. Overall, the Bistro has pitched its offering very well. We will visit again for sure when next visiting Rye. I’m pleased we chose this restaurant which opened a little earlier this year.

We had a wonderful lunch at The Union yesterday to celebrate my Mum's birthday - we decided on the 'Feasting' Menu and what a treat! The food was absolutely delicious, some very unusual and special combinations, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The setting is also very nice, a roaring fire, which gives a beautiful timeless and quiet ambience combined with excellent service made for a very good choice!

A wonderful meal with excellent service. Would definitely return and recommend.

Very impressed with the venue plus food, selection of beers and service. I don't have anything negative to say. I would certainly visit again if we come down to this area in the future.
