Aqua-vitus Description
Surprisingly, though Chester is a major tourist destination, it is rather lacking in interesting and individual restaurants, as it is slightly dominated by chains; however, Aquavit has come along to help fill the gap in the market - and very successful it has been at that.
With its helpful and friendly staff, warm and different ambiance and interesting menu it provides a welcome addition to the local dining out scene, whilst also supplying amazing value, both at lunch and in the evening, especially with its set price menus.
Incredibly, a three course lunch can be enjoyed for a mere £6.95, and still could offer such enterprising choices as smoked haddock fishcake with a curry and sultana oil or seared chicken liver with marjoram on a crumpet and honey dressing to begin with and then mains like seared tuna loin on seaweed and potato mash with beetroot salsa or honey glazed goats cheese and aubergine gallette with stir fried sweet peppers and noodles; finishing with sticky toffee pudding or coconut parfait with chocolate sauce.
While in the evening it still only costs £14 for two courses or £17 for three, very reasonable for quality food, no wonder that they are so popular and busy, if only there were more neighbourhood restaurants like Aquavit around to enjoy, how much happier we would all be about eating out.
Fixed Lunch
- £8.50 (3 courses)
Fixed Dinner

We stumbled on to this restaurant last year and enjoyed the food from the lunch time menu so much that we pilgrimed there again with high expectations. Although these expectations were not entirely dashed they were bruised slightly. Lamb with a slightly pink, its fine with me but all the way through seems extreme. The vegetables would have been suitable as ammunition, but I won't shoot the chef. The crab starter was fantastic; the beef beautiful and the sweet, small but delicious. I shall return to this attractive and relaxing venue again.

I've eaten at Aquavit several times in the last year and I have not had one bad experience there. The food is great, the service fantastic and the price is very good. Definitely visit Aquavit if you're in Chester and fancy somewhere a little different.
