Away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Lytham holds essential ingredients. The Windmill, Lytham Green, Lytham Hall and the River Ribble estuary overlooking the Welsh mountains are all worthy of a postcard. A host of up-market restaurants will tickle your tastebuds.
Had a late afternoon meal; pasta dish for my partner and a gourmet burger for me. Excellent service and first rate food, with a bill including coffee and sparkling water of £25. First rate: the pasta was one of the best my partner has tasted.
Whispers – LythamCurrys should be ordered and eaten in Curry houses. However the Spoons rubies are pleasant and well priced at £6.95 inc a pint of your favourite beer (Moorhouses for me). I am ever so slightly converted to the Spoons curry night.
The Railway Hotel – LythamWe love Roti for our lunch. It is near where we work and we are always happy with our choices! :)
Le Roti – LythamA group of us went to Spago on Saturday night for a friend’s birthday and had the lovely big table in the window. Food was best yet, waiters friendly making a fuss of the birthday girl but sadly they were desperately under-staffed for a busy Saturday night. Took forever for them to take the initial order, then both the starters and the mains arrived staggered which was not great and drinks and coffee orders were taken and never materialized. The host was mightily embarrassed and complained to the manager who to be fair knocked a fair slice off the bill. He dealt with the complaint in a professional manner which will ensure that we all go back. But I just hope Spago can sort out the staffing issues in the interim.
Spago Lytham – LythamWe went here last night for Valentine's Day. We were seated in a quiet room upstairs. It was very busy in the restaurant but service was very good and we had the set menu.The food was superb , we had a sharing platter to start of antipasto. My partner had rib eye steak and I the sea bass. The dessert was a sharing dish of strawberrys and chocolate. The house wine was reasonably priced. We will definitely return here again.
Portofino – LythamValentines day turned into disappointment eating at 88 service poor, food not much better and no Billy to welcome customers. No hand wipes no knife. Toilets cold. Asked for an alternative rice on set menus told would be changed more but not charged less when did not have dessert . Felt senior waitress was rude and abrupt. Will not be going back not recommended
Eighty Eight Chinese Restaurant – LythamWe really enjoyed our meal last Thursday. A nice quiet seat in the corner with a decent bottle of house red. Chorizo with red wine as a shared starter and a chicken kebab (was kebab Thursday offer) and chicken Supreme. All were good as was the polite and unobtrusive service.
Ego Mediterranean Restaurant – LythamOne of the lights went out and the waitresses were Liverpudlians.The Earl Grey was horrible, I blame the cafe. The chocolate fudge cake was atrocious but apart from that I loved it.
Coffee Bean, The – LythamAs I am from London I didn't now where to go to get something to eat, ended up at whispers. My family and I had an amazing meal including wine and coffee. Service excellent staff are very friendly and polite. Well recommended. The lamb shank was ace! Will definitely return.
Whispers – LythamAnother nice meal at Red Fort in Lytham. I was on a diet and my tip for Indian food when you’re counting the calories is Chicken Tikka followed by Lamb Shashlik (and of course sparkling water instead of Cobra!).
Red Fort – LythamUsed Le Roti in Lytham a couple of times now and been impressed both times. Once just for a lunchtime sandwich and again for a takeaway roast chicken dinner! Tres Bon!
Le Roti – LythamWe have eaten at this restaurant on a number of occasions. The team are very customer friendly, the food was lovely, I felt valued and welcome. My border terrier was welcomed upstairs. I will return, just love the experience.
Whispers – LythamHad a meal in Henry’s for the first time in quite a few months on Friday and was very impressed. I got there very early around 5.30 and had the place to myself initially. It looked stunning all laid up ready for service. They have really got the decor and lighting spot on with the latest refurb. We were all happy with the food too although with the post-Xmas diet all I had was the Cajun Chicken Caesar Salad. Only slight gripe was the coffee which despite two attempts never got beyond lukewarm.
Henry’s – LythamWe had our office Christmas lunch here and the food and service was excellent. Highly recommend it.
Spago Lytham – LythamWe enjoyed a meal with the family here just before Christmas. A very nice restaurant. The food was good and the service excellent.

Red Fort – Lytham3/10. Insanely average food, burger wasn't 'prime beef' as advertised (they wouldn't even do it medium rare). Thin burger, asda smart price fries and ridiculously expensive average drinks. Way overpriced.
Drunk Buffalo Club – LythamA lovely lunch in between Xmas shopping. A jacket and soup in very pleasant surroundings.
