Good food in Blackpool.

Yes i know, but the wife wants to go for a couple of days, we have not been for years, we will be staying near the tower, looking for something OTHER than fish and chips, pizza, Indian or Chinese.

Thanks in advance i think.

Kwizeen.

Faced with a similar dilemma it was the best restaurant I could find.

Not been for a couple of years, but it was very good. 4/5 on trip advisor

The De Vere Hotel

Clifton Arms in Lytham.



Not Funny Girls kebabs (Google news it).

You're more likely to find "meat & 2 veg" in Funny Girls than a kebab(badly packed or otherwise!!!)
For good kebabs Adams on St Annes road(a bit of a trek as it's S Shore not central) does great ones,with super hot chilli sauce!
You will struggle to find good food there though

There's also Browns in St annes - that's quite good IIRC.

You could try the Empress Grill in the Winter Gardens - right in the town centre. It's operated by 'Heathcotes Outside' - well known restauranteurs in Lancashire. Their website has a sample menu - we ate there about six months and whilst it wasn't that busy (we were there at 6pm) the food was good.

Otherwise, apart from Kwizeen there isn't much else in Blackpool centre other than those you want to avoid. There is a really good upmarket Indian called the Jali on the prom about 15 mins walk north from the Tower (can't remember the name of the hotel). A couple of stations on the train, Poulton is a good night out with a few decent restaurants and some decent pubs.

A bit further afield there is Twelve in Thornton - probably 15-20 mins in taxi - have a look at the webite - bloody good but not cheap.

There is a website called Sugarvine that can help you with eating out in Lancashire.

Big Blue Hotel is quite good and the casino is quite good to eat at.

I was impressed with Aj's Bistro on Topping Street, and La Fontana is probably the pick of the Italians. I'd reccommend stopping for an Ice Cream at Notariani's on Waterloo Road too.

That looks interesting I might give that a try, Thanks.

West Coast? Doesn't have the charm it used to though.
