  I came to The Backstreet Restaurant recently with my partner. We noticed that the restaurant was well equipped with hand sanitiser and the tables were spaced out well which made... read more us feel very relaxed under the current circumstances.

We were welcomed into the restaurant by a polite young lady. We were shown to our table and filled in our track and trace form.

The menu had a wide selection with something available for everyone. I had the Buffalo mozzarella tomato salad which was delicious, the dish was also presented extremely well. My partner had the vodka cured trout which again was amazing. Very reasonably priced too!

We had a bottle of wine between us with our meal. The lady at the bar had a great knowledge on the wine and recommended an orange wine to us. The restaurant offers a wine of the month which we had the option to choose from a red, white or orange wine. As we had never tasted an orange wine before we decided to go for the Enblanco de AltoLandon. This wine was very easy to drink with some plum notes.

For mains we had the Beef Burger which my wife said was the best burger ever. I had the Lamb rump and I can honestly say I’ve never tasted a falafel or parsley sauce that’s tasted so good. A very talented chef!

We both had Banana Split for pudding which again was presented brilliantly. We watered this down with two pornstar martinis which are the best we’ve ever had.

The staff were all extremely friendly, we were served by the young male waiter. He was a delight and looked after us through the evening. The staff are a credit to this restaurant as every one of them were very polite and knowledgeable of the menus. The chef deserves a big mention as we watched different dishes coming out and everything looked so professional, we will definitely have to come back to try more.

Thank you Team Backstreet!
