"Visited on a busy Saturday evening. General impression is the restaurant is clean, well presented and evidently well liked for how many people were in the small dining area. A little noisy, particularly in the confined space beside the kitchen, when seated close beside a louder table. As the evening progressed, we felt quite cold not sure if the heating was on? Service from the staff was outstanding, very friendly, polite, attentive, but food was slow to arrive. We were a little perplexed by having the appetiser on the table before our starter/main order had been taken, so having to work around still having the menus. The smoked butter was very strong my partner liked it, it was too much for me. Both fish starters were good, with the mackerel our favourite. The main courses were OK. The lamb was fine, but served with lamb fat root veg meant the whole plate was very similar flavoured, and the green beans/salsa verde felt like an afterthought. The skate wing was nice, and the crispy capers were a new and pleasant experience. The desserts rescued the food for me the creme brulée was outstanding, and the chocolate special was very good, with exception of a slightly chewy meringue. I feel I'm being picky with my criticisms, but fig tree is definitely priced higher than other more standard fare restaurants in Plymouth where we have also had very good food."

"The staff are always so accommodating. The perfect value vs taste cafe. You will not find a better coffee and cake for a cheaper price than at Lisbon Bakery, period. You always leave feeling like you forgot to pay for something but its just that good! Ditch the Costa, and try some real artisan cakes, coffee and meals at Lisbon and you will not regret it. A true local gem and a perfect spot if your a student with time for a cat up with friends in between exams. Also, look up if you're visiting. They have an amazing selection of alcohol within variety you would struggle to find anywhere else in the city. The lemoncello will happily make the transition between meal to cake a flawless experience Wheelchair accessibility: Indoors there are no steps just a small inclined ramp. Entrance has a lip, but the staff met me at the door with a sturdy fold out ramp before I even had a chance to ask when I visited with friends who required wheelchair access. They also instinctively look for a space or move chairs to accommodate without making you feel like it's a hassle. A much needed reprieve in a cobble laden city that can be quite difficult to navigate if you have a wheelchair! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Custard Tarta De Queso, Pastel De Nata, Bakery"

"I had a great experience at Cosmic Kitchen. The scotch egg was delicious and I can't wait to try more items on the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch. The price per person is around £50-£60 and the food, service, and atmosphere all scored a perfect 5 out of 5. I recommend trying the Signature Vegan Scotch Egg, Spicy Chilli Nachos, Potato Fries, and Falafel Wrap."

"Good for Turkish food and you get quite authentic flavour. Some of the real cuisine requires stone oven baking but instead uses convection 's in here. Never ordered other than Mediterranean food in the list. I thought might have a good rare 10oz Ribeye steak but a total disappointment. Served a thin cut, thinner as McD patties. Anybody who knows how to cook steak must be aware, thin cut can 't do rare doneness with sear crust. Not even medium doneness can be cooked easily. I don 't think it 's even 10oz and yet with a burger pressed marked on, not a grill marks. The chef doesn 't know about steaks for sure. Better go for my local pub 's steak, 8oz, grilled, thick, prefect doneness and cheaper. To be fair, I still give quite good score for Mediterranean foods served. As for service, depends, most of the waiters are really helpful with one or two is just a meh ."

"I occasionally visit this pleasant little cafe with a good selection of snacks, meals, hot and cold drinks, wines, and other beverages. It is tucked away on a historic street in Plymouth, now surrounded by modern office and residential buildings. It seems to be popular among students and locals. During a visit on a hot day in May 2021, we enjoyed sitting at one of the outdoor tables in a sheltered corner with a view of North St and Sutton Harbour marina in the distance. This spot is friendly, affordable, unpretentious, and away from the hustle and bustle, despite a few cars parked nearby."
