Whale Tail cafe

Posted by AliD 29 October 2007

Whale Tail cafe is a vegetarian cafe/restaurant that is a Lancaster institution and has been around for many years. Recently they have opened the doors in the evenings from Thurs-Sun. The food is fantastic, ambiance delightful and the prices are incredibly reasonable.

The Whale Tail

Superb vegetarian cafe/restaurant in the heart of town with secluded garden.

The best veggie BLT ever!

Loads of great dishes, massive portions.

Creamy wild mushroom and brie bake - mmmm!

Set just back off the main street - down the alley and up the stairs

The Whaletail

Posted by egocrow 21 May 2007

Its originality of recipes and high ingredient quality mark it out from the rest. The wonderful informal Bistro atmosphere enables one to enjoy a meal in comfort and quiet if necesary. It also has some good bottled beers.

It is on Penny Street; slap bang in the centre of Lancaster's pedestrian zone; 10 minutes walk from the station or the Duke's Theatre.

Quite Simply French

Posted by bluerabbit76 6 April 2007

One of the best restaurants in Lancaster! Located on the Quay, QSF is a French restaurant serving delicious food in a relaxed environment.

A great selection of fresh fish, meat and veggie dishes – try to go on Sunday/ Monday when they do ‘Simply Squiffy’ – three courses and a bottle of wine each for a set price (just try not to fall in the River Lune afterwards). Also look out for Quite Simply Food, their sister deli up on Moor Lane in town.
