Lantern - Carta

Definitely recommend. Very generous meal and the steak was cooked perfectly. So nice to eat somewhere that isn’t a chain and has a bit of personality. Great service and hospitality.

Love this place. Last minute decision to get a table due to offspring sleeping out. Usual exemplary service and the best steak in town. Always our first thought when deciding where to eat out.

I went to Lantern with my partner and his mum, who had visited 38 years ago. This place was a hidden gem with excellent food, amazing service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely be returning. Ver carta

Had a great meal steak was done to perfection and the brandy coffee was lovely a very traditional Restaurent with table cloths and silver service just like it use to be such a lovely little gem of a place thank you for such a lovely experience Hilary John xx

Delicious food and very reasonably priced given the quality of it. The service is second to none super attentive but very friendly and warm. It's too easy to walk past and barely notice the restaurant is there given it's location above the shops on Whitefriargate but you're missing out if you don't give it a try. The steaks are delicious and there's some lovely fish options.

Charming dinner spot in the city centre that we heard had a great, long-term reputation. We weren't disappointed. Myself and my wife were recently on holiday in South Africa and had some fantastic steak out there, but the porterhouse at The Lantern was right up there with the best we tasted in SA. Seriously. The portions are huge, you won't go hungry. Everything was fresh, tasty and the mushroom sauce was incredible – my wife was practically drinking it! The staff were extremely friendly and knew when to approach the table and when to give you space – always a bugbear of mine when they can't get this right. A really lovely place, with a good ambiance. A mix of couples and larger parties. We'... Ver carta

This restaurant is a charming and cozy gem. It feels like a step back in time or a visit to a quaint taverna in Greece. The establishment has a traditional, family-run vibe with excellent customer service. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and offered to have our coats hung up. After ordering our drinks, we were seated in a comfortable sofa in the bar to peruse the menu. My husband chose the fillet steak with chips, onion rings, and garlic sauce, while I opted for the fillet steak stroganoff with rice. Our meals were served promptly and were absolutely delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly to my husband's liking and the garlic sauce was a highlight. My stroganoff was top-notch and tru...

The Lantern by Pappa Florou is truly a hidden gem, I’m not one to write reviews but I enjoyed my visit so much I wanted to share my experience. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by an intimate and cozy ambiance that set the stage for a memorable evening. The menu is a testament to the chef's culinary skills, I choose the pate for starters and steak for the main course, both were exceptional. My husband is a vegan and he was as impressed with his food just as much as I was with mine. Equally impressive was the service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. Their attentiveness and genuine friendliness added a personal touch that made me...

We visited the Lantern restaurant on a Saturday night a couple of weeks ago and had a fantastic meal and wonderful experience. We loved the original decor the Lantern boasts and we found out that it has been in the same family for nearly 60 years! The way in which guests are welcomed and the pride and care taken in the food served, you can really tell it's a family run establishment. For our meal, we opted to start with the calamari and garlic mushrooms. Both of these were delicious, but we loved the mushrooms so much we had to order another portion! We then had a Porterhouse steak each, which were cooked to perfection. Alongside these we ordered the fries, onion rings and pepper sauce, whic... Ver carta
