Aqua-vitus
58 Watergate Street, Chester, CH1 2LA
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.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.

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.

REVIEWS OF Aqua-vitus
Ken & Di Jones (21 February 2011)
We love this restaurant and always use it when in Chester. It has great service and varied, great food at a very reasonable price. Nice friendly staff and the wine prices are also very reasonable. Give it a try - you will not be disappointed.

We visited Chester in August 2009 and found the Aqua-Vitus by chance. What a wonderful experience it was. The atmosphere and ambience was superb, the food was even better. We will be returning to Chester for New Year and we will definitely be eating there again.
