Had a fantastic dinner at Simones in Bright. Very well presented 'old fashioned' Italian. Lovely wine, excellent service, lovely seating arrangements which made conversation easy. Peaceful setting and very relaxing

Eclectic place to have dinner in Bright. Charming restaurant decor reveals itself as you go down 13 steps into an old world cellar.
