What User likes about Friends Restaurant Bar:
Fantastic dining experience with incredibly friendly staff! We had a large brunch gathering with 12 people, and they accommodated us wonderfully. The food was a hit, making it ideal for big groups. We will definitely return! View all feedback.

What Alicia Clamp doesn't like about Friends Restaurant Bar:
The food was quite disappointing. The chicken tenders tasted awful and didn't seem like real chicken. The steak burger had a lot of fat, and the bun was burnt. The pork panini was filled mostly with lettuce and had very little pork, which wasn't enjoyable either. I won’t be returning to this restaurant. View all feedback.

This is a fantastic restaurant with a diverse menu and a great selection of dishes. They also offer beautiful photos that you can buy.

They have a great atmosphere with good food. There's even a bar with pool table sports on the TV and games. Meet a friend for chess there and had a lovely time.
