Great food and service, especially the sausage sandwich, and loved the cup-in-a-soup option! Generous portions, and nice spot in historic Lincoln!

Good place to stay and located in a good area for tourists. Came a little early and they let us drop our bags and come back later to check-in.

Nestled halfway up Steep Hill in Lincoln, The Rest offers a welcome respite for weary travelers. With a quaint terraced area boasting scenic views and a cozy interior, this café is a hidden gem. Despite some delays in service, the food is top-notch, including fresh salads, delicious cakes, and homemade soup. The friendly staff, particularly barista Seb, make the experience enjoyable. Whether stopping for a light lunch or just for coffee and cake, The Rest is a must-visit spot in Lincoln. With a sunny patio and enthusiastic young staff, this charming café is sure to win your heart.
