The Alex is a great cafe on beach road overlooking the sea, in Felixstowe. Parking is a black art…read morein Felixstowe, especially when the weather is warm, but the cafe benefits from both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is good standard cafe-style fayre and it is possible to even ask for a few things that might not be on the menu (such as bacon sandwiches). The chocolate milkshake isn't bad either - my only complaint is that it is a bit small! The cafe also gets a tick for being dog friendly (for those seated outside). There are bowls of water laid out for our four-legged friends.

This used to be our very favourite restaurant, with a fixed price three course menu tues-fri…read moreevenings it was great value and top quality food well presented with good service. We went a couple of times every month But the owner is now travelling and handed the business over to family to run. On our last visit, the fixed price menu was gone completely, the warm rolls swapped for sliced bread, the wonderful home made chips swapped for fries and the salad was bitter and uninteresting compared to the usual appetising leaves and garnish. The meal was lower quality but far more expensive. Sadly, after years of good food on every single visit, we have found a new regular restaurant. I hope the owner will return at some point and get things back to the formerly high standards at good prices. The food is beautifully cooked, well presented, the surroundings are lovely. But not worth the price tag with the recent drop in quality in my opinion.

Great location - on the dock road, which is extremely quiet - and has a lovely view of Ipswich…read moremarina. The Bistro is an old, tastefull converted dock building that was one of the first in the renovation of the Ipswich dock area. The food is modern british with continental overtones. There is plenty of choice of both fish, meat and veggie dishes so there should be something to please most palettes. There is also an extensive wine list. My wife has a particular liking for their pint of shell-on prawns served with garlic mayo and thick, crusty brown bread - as a starter. The prices are not too expensive, but the food is very good and I think it represents good value. A word of warning - the one downside of the Bistro is that you have to book well in advance. This is even more true in summer when the yachties tend to be in town. Overall very nice place, good food - can be very romantic (if you are that way inclined) especially if you can get a sunset booking in summer.

Food is fresh and cooked to perfection, all said to come from local produce. Their take on Eggs Benedict is one of the best options in the breakfast menu.

Boat restaurant with stiff atmosphere. Prices are a bit high for the area but I'm on the Ipswich…read moremarina so clientele is not swaying away from more cost. Saying that a two course is under 30. Classy staff, but attention to service was lacking, charming being on a boat. Slightly romantic - only saying that as I'm on my own - but there are couples about. Ordered a fish soup. It was not what I expected. My idea of one is it's got chunks of fish. This one was a fishy purée. Not to my liking. Possibly something posh, possibly something not. Either way didn't finish it. Put it aside and for a bit seemed like the wait staff didn't want to deal. Eventually some poor chap approached me and asked if the plate sitting well beside me was ok to remove. I said yes and with a blank faced-look from him I was forced to say - not to my liking. Just got main small chicken breast stuffed. Not enough sauce and a bit dry. Oh dear not one I'll be coming back to.
