Stark

Modern British · ★ Michelin

££££

Having relocated from Broadstairs to Mersea Island, the family-run Stark has retained all of its intimacy, passion and enthusiasm. Chef Ben Crittenden works alone in the kitchen crafting a 6 course menu which acts as an ode to top-notch produce. Clever and refined flavour combinations are deployed with great precision to enhance already delicious ingredients like shh'annu lamb and prime quality cod – go for the well-constructed wine pairings to ease any indecision. Be sure to check the tide timetable when visiting to ensure The Strood isn't flooded.

Kintsu

Modern British

££££

Tucked away in a city centre courtyard, this likeable restaurant occupies a Grade II-listed former barn, with stylish contemporary décor and an open kitchen allowing guests to get a good view of the chefs as they work. Well-crafted and eye-catching modern dishes populate the multi-course tasting menus, which have a seasonal British element running through them. Look out for dishes that put a modern spin on classic flavour combinations, such as lamb with mint, feta and broccoli. A friendly service team add to the experience.

Church Street Tavern

World Cuisine

££

Down a narrow city centre street, you'll find this attractive 18th-century building; a restaurant sits upstairs, while below is a trendy bar serving cocktails and light bites. The extensive menu ranges from bruschetta to quesadillas – plus a roast dinner on Sundays, of course – and the kitchen team ensure the dishes are as colourful and joyous as the décor and the atmosphere. The super-friendly, attentive service will really make you feel at home, as will bringing your own bottle on Wednesdays to take advantage of half-price corkage.
