City At Novelli Quays Cathedral Quarter

The restaurant was very busy with a number of potential diners, I suspect members of tour groups staying at the Hotel, seeking tables without prior bookings. This made difficulties for hard-pressed restaurant staff. The food was excellent and the service good. There was a decided buzz about the place. The menu was typical Brasserie style with a reasonable choice but nothing you could not get in other mid-range establishments. Clearly, the offer is popular but a little more imagination would not go amiss. The offer is good value for money, the Prix Fixe being especially well priced. The dry-aged rump steak was outstanding. As someone who, for medical reasons, is unable to touch alcohol, it was especially disappointing that NO 0.0 alcohol beer was available. I had no option but to have a PepsiMAX. I wonder how Jean-Christophe Novelli feels about this inexcusable omission!! All-in-all my party had an enjoyable evening and will probably return but please think of those unable to consume alcohol by adopting a 0.0 lager and, may I suggest, the very popular Guinness 0.0.

Really lovely setting. We did the date night offer on Friday, which included three courses and a bottle of wine for £60.00. This was great value and the food was really tasty. We enjoyed everything. There was happy hour running from 4pm to 7pm on Friday, and on offer is 2 for 1 cocktails, which is also great value. There was a brilliant guy singing and playing the guitar, he was fantastic.

Really enjoyed sitting on The Terrace. Food was excellent as was the service. Will definitely be back

Very basic food Nothing special at all No recommended

The exceptional team members and delicious cuisine, served with appropriate timing between courses, made for a fantastic evening out.
