Almond, The Description
The Almond is situated on the west side of the city centre in a traditional red-brick building that has a history of uses, including, according to locals, a chapel, a blacksmiths and most recently a fondue restaurant. Today, the furnishing is modern and the ambience relaxed, warm and friendly - just right for everyone, from groups of friends or colleagues to couples of any age.
The a la carte menu takes influences from Britain, France and Italy, and includes items such as: a saffron risotto with seared scallops or smoked red pepper chutney; an original take on a traditional dish with funky fish chips and peas; a satisfying roast beef bavette and dumplings with a hint of horseradish and a naughty but nice sticky toffee date and agen prune pudding.
On Sundays, a great, traditional British Sunday lunch is served. As with their other menus, this is cooked and served fresh to order. The Almond is the kind of individual restaurant that one feels pleased to discover - tantalising to the taste-buds and relaxing to the soul.
Fixed Dinner
- £12.25 (3 courses), Tues - Fri, pre 7pm
Your Reviews of Almond, The
Raquelle (25 January 2009)
Although the building had character and the décor was attractive, The Almond lacked ambience. The waitresses were pleasant but unfamiliar with the menu, and even though it wasn’t full, service was quite slow. When we asked for a bottle of French Pinot Noir, we were served with a Californian one with no explanation, and when we asked to check the wine list, were told that the winery was re-labelling and it was actually the same wine, which we found it hard to believe.
We started with a lovely creamy chicken and mushroom risotto, which we subsequently found out to be the highlight of the meal and bland potted pork with stale, inedible crackling. Both mains, steak and lamb, were tasty and enjoyable although the supposedly ‘teddylicious’ dessert tasted of stale, dry cocoa powder. All in all, it was quite disappointing with very depressing music being played throughout the evening.

The Almond is a great little restaurant that we came across a few months ago and have been back twice since. The steak is excellent, and my other half had the sea bream and Pavlova on Saturday and thought both were lovely. Some of the review comments below seem a bit strange in my opinion. The comment about the menu choice is just untrue - check the website - and it’s no way pretentious. We have always been looked after well and would recommend.
