Restaurants
Colchester offers a huge choice for dining out that will suit all tastes and budgets. From no frills fish & chip shops to Michelin recommended restaurants, familiar chain restaurants to small independent eateries. You'll have no problem finding somewhere great to eat after a hard days sightseeing.
Head to Mersea Island to sample the world-famous Colchester oysters, or for the sweet toothed, seek out the less well know Colchester Pudding, recently rescued from obscurity by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.
