Restaurants, cafes and bakeries in Madrid

Archie-Lily's is a family-friendly cafe at Crosslikey in Churchstoke, on the Welsh side of the border with Shropshire. It opens for breakfast and cooks homemade food through lunchtime, and it is a favorite for a Sunday lunch. The cooking is classic British cafe fare - breakfasts, sandwiches and burgers - in generous portions at fair prices, with vegetarian options and ice cream to finish. Orders tend to arrive quickly, there is plenty of parking, and the cafe is easy to reach in a wheelchair.

Castle Road, Churchstoke, SY15 6AG

+441588620511

Golden Fish is the Chinese takeaway on Castle Road in Churchstoke, a village in the Powys border country near Montgomery and Bishop's Castle. The menu covers the traditional Chinese dishes, the portions are generous, and customers praise the quick, friendly service. It opens in the evening, which makes it the easy answer to dinner after a day out in the hills. In October 2024 Powys County Council gave the kitchen the top food hygiene rating of 5, "very good".

Gass 17

Appenzell · Pizza · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood

Hauptgasse 17, 9050 Appenzell

+41717801717

Beechwood fire gives Gass 17 its culinary identity. This restaurant on Appenzell’s Hauptgasse combines an open wood grill with a wood stove and oven, using different forms of live fire across its cooking. Steaks, chicken and grilled vegetables share the kitchen’s attention, with regional meat and seasonal vegetables forming the foundation of the menu. The grill brings a smoky character to the food, while selected dishes are cooked on the stove or baked in the oven. The restaurant names its suppliers’ locations unusually precisely: firewood, milk, cheese and its farmer’s pork chop come from Appenzell and Gais, trout comes from Wasserauen, and chicken breast comes from Weissbad. Vegetarian dishes also have a stated place on the menu. Alongside the regular restaurant offering, the house runs a make-your-own pizza occasion, where guests choose their toppings and the kitchen bakes the result in the wood oven; takeaway is available for that offering. Wine comes from a selection of international growing regions, and the bar provides another way to enjoy the house over drinks with friends. Outside, the terrace faces the activity of Poststrasse. Sergio Fässler, a qualified sommelier, leads the business with chef Marco Koller. Opened in March 2012, the restaurant grew from the Fässler family’s idea for a lively meeting place combining straightforward food with a bar. Tables can be reserved online or by telephone.

Restaurant Rössli Appenzell

Appenzell · Burgers · Vegetarian · Groups and functions

Weissbadstrasse 25, 9050 Appenzell

+41717871355

Appenzeller ingredients and familiar regional dishes define the cooking at Restaurant Rössli on Weissbadstrasse. The menu explains the local approach through Chäsmagronen: elbow macaroni cooked with diced potatoes, finished with Appenzeller cheese and onions. Applesauce accompanies the dish, which can also be ordered with local boiled sausage or an Alpenbitter-Schüblig. Another signature is the Rössli meatloaf, made with beef and pork, filled with Alpenbitter vegetables and Appenzeller cheese, and served with spätzli and seasonal vegetables. Pork cordon bleu carries a similarly regional filling of Appenzeller cheese and Mostbröckli, the local cured beef specialty. The starters include Innerrhoden wedding soup, a broth with sliced pancakes, along with leaf salads, cheese salad and beef tartare. A house beef burger comes in a Bürli roll with garlic sauce, tomatoes and onions. Vegetable and herb spätzli provide another choice, alongside a version with chicken. The restaurant identifies its suppliers, including Appenzell butchers Wetter and Breitenmoser, Schäfli bakery in Steinegg, Appenzeller Milch and eggs from the Hersche family in Schlatt. For gatherings, separate menu proposals cover groups of ten or more and can be adapted through a personal discussion with the restaurant. Those proposals extend from soups and regional mains to desserts such as Schlorzifladen and cream liqueur parfait with caramelized walnuts. Traditional music gatherings also form part of the house’s program, connecting its food with another aspect of Appenzeller culture.

Restaurant Flickflauder – Hof Weissbad

Weissbad · Lunch · Dinner · Seating indoors

Im Park 1, 9057 Weissbad

+41717988080

Flickflauder takes its name from the Appenzeller word for butterfly, an apt introduction to its light, transparent architecture within Hof Weissbad. Views change with the daylight, and the restaurant looks toward a herb garden whose freshly picked plants are used in the kitchen. Chef Käthi Fässler’s cooking connects Swiss traditions and Appenzeller roots with seasonal ingredients and creative touches. A six-course surprise menu is served in a separate section of Flickflauder, giving that experience its own space within the restaurant. Elsewhere in the same house, the Schotten-Sepp-Stube preserves wood paneling from the old Kurhaus Weissbad, while the veranda offers a brighter setting with many windows. A south-facing terrace provides outdoor dining in suitable weather, with wicker chairs on the lawn and a small playground in the park. The resort, established in 1994 at the foot of the Alpstein, combines its restaurants with accommodation, wellness facilities and spaces for events. Flickflauder itself can accommodate up to one hundred people for a banquet, including exclusive arrangements. The wider culinary offering includes seasonal lunches, changing evening menus and a Sunday buffet. A separate children’s menu is available. Reservations are recommended for meals, and the surprise menu requires advance registration. That particular menu cannot accommodate allergies or intolerances because its components are served in their original form. Dogs are directed to the resort’s bistro rather than the restaurants.

Restaurant Alpenblick

Weissbad · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian

Küchenrain 5, 9057 Weissbad

+41717991173

Seasonal Appenzeller cooking anchors Restaurant Alpenblick in Schwende, within the family-run hotel at Küchenrain 5. Chefs Stefan and Michael build their menus around regional produce, changing the selection several times through the year. Beef fillet and entrecôte from Appenzeller young cattle sit alongside specialties associated with particular seasons: traditionally prepared young goat in spring, trout in early summer and game in autumn. The kitchen works with local producers and supplements its ingredients with gathered wild herbs and mushrooms. Eggs come from a farm in the village, bread from local bakeries, and other ingredients from selected regional suppliers. Fish is sourced from Swiss production, with trout preparations including meunière and poaching in vegetable stock. Vegetarian dishes are available, while vegan cooking depends on advance requests and availability. Wine has a strong Swiss emphasis, including the Bündner Herrschaft, complemented by bottles from several other European countries. Guests can eat in the dining room, the smaller Appenzeller Stübli or on the sun terrace. These spaces also accommodate celebrations, with a shared menu requested for groups of around ten or more. Children have their own menu, and high chairs and play boxes are available. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement in the Stübli and on the terrace. Parking is provided for restaurant guests, while Schwende railway station offers an alternative approach. The house recommends reserving a table ahead.

Bistro In den Koning

Waterlandkerkje · French · Steak and grill · Burgers

Molenstraat 56, 4508 AG Waterlandkerkje

+31117852444

Bistro In den Koning sits on the Molenstraat in Waterlandkerkje, a small village in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen a short drive inland from the coast. Angie and Juriën run it, and they describe their spot as the best of two worlds: Dutch soil, with a Flemish feel never far away. The menu follows what is good at the moment, built on classics, with regular excursions into French and Flemish cooking, and the kitchen names its suppliers. At lunch there is a burger of Zeeuws-Vlaams blue and white beef on a brioche bun from the Broodheeren bakery, a filled fish soup in the Breton style, Marie's shrimp croquettes on sourdough, artisan meat croquettes from Janssen, a smoked beef sandwich with truffle cream and aged Zeeland cheese, and croque monsieur or madame. Between noon and five there are fresh pancakes, one with organic apples, and Grandpa's apple pie. In the evening the starters include beetroot carpaccio with goat cheese, and the mains run from brined cod with leek purée and a shrimp jus to wild turbot with tarragon butter, barbecued lamb chops, a bistro steak of Belgian blue and white beef from the local polders, and pork cheeks, which the house calls the classic of the bistro. A vegan dish of balls with fregola and tomato is on the card too. Children under twelve get fries with a snack or a smaller portion of a main. The kitchen adapts dishes for allergies where it can and will pack up what is left. A two course high tea is served by reservation for two or more, starting between noon and two. Tables are booked online through the website.

The Stables Inn

Minsterley

Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue Luca Volpe Productions / Pexels

Drury Lane, Hopesgate, Minsterley, SY5 0EP

+441743891344

The Stables Inn has stood at Hopesgate since 1680, built as a drovers' inn for the farmers walking their stock from Wales to Shrewsbury market, and it still feels like one: low beams, a fire in the bar, the pub dog somewhere near it. It sits high in the Shropshire Hills, so the beer garden looks out over the Stiperstones side of the county. The kitchen cooks fresh, locally sourced food - a short main menu from Wednesday to Saturday and a Sunday roast that regulars book ahead for - and the pumps carry Shropshire real ales. There are rooms and a shepherd's hut for anyone who does not want to drive back down the lane. Opening days are limited and can change with the season, so a phone call before setting out is sensible.

Crown & Sceptre

Minsterley

Station Road, Minsterley, SY5 0BA

+441743650688

The Crown & Sceptre is Minsterley's village pub, family-run, with one big room that serves as lounge and bar, a separate dining room and two open fires that earn their keep in winter. Part of the old wattle-and-daub frame is left visible behind perspex, a reminder of how long the building has been here. The food is homemade pub cooking - fish and chips, gammon, pies - with a Sunday lunch that fills the dining room, so it is worth booking. One changing real ale in summer and two in winter, often from Wye Valley. There is a lawn and patio at the back, a bowling green, live music once a month, and dogs and children are welcome, children until 8 pm on Friday and Saturday.

Little Efes

Minsterley

Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue J KREATOR / Pexels

Holly House, Minsterley, SY5 0BA

+441743791827

Little Efes is the takeaway in Minsterley for the evening when nobody wants to cook: Turkish grill and kebabs from the charcoal, doner and shish in bread or on a plate with rice and salad, plus burgers, pizzas and chips for the rest of the table. Portions are generous and the meat is cooked to order rather than kept warm. It is a small place, mostly collection, with a couple of seats while you wait. Cash only - there is no card machine - so bring notes. For a cottage stay in the Hope Valley it is the nearest hot meal after the pubs have stopped serving food.

Zenna

Pontesbury

Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue Polina Tankilevitch / Pexels

Main Road, Pontesbury, SY5 0RR

+441743792955

Zenna is a Chinese restaurant at the end of Main Road in Pontesbury, the village in the Rea Valley south-west of Shrewsbury. It fills a timbered building with high ceilings and large windows, and the tables are generously spaced. There is easy parking on the street, and the double front doors give step-free access. The menu is long and the set menus are good value. Regulars recommend the crispy duck, beef with peppers in black bean sauce, salt and pepper chicken and ginger chicken, and there are vegetarian dishes such as vegetable chow mein and sweet and sour vegetables.

Boone

Schoondijke · Steak and grill · Burgers · Fish and seafood

Dorpsplein 1, 4507 BH Schoondijke

+31623079819

Mon 11:00–20:00; Tue–Wed Closed; Thu 11:00–20:00; Fri–Sat 11:00–20:30; Sun 10:00–20:30

Boone is the eat and drink house on the Dorpsplein, the village square at the heart of Schoondijke. It opens five days a week from late morning into the evening, with an earlier start on Sundays, and closes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The menu, published on the website, is split into a tearoom part, a lunch card served until five in the afternoon, and a dinner card. In the tearoom there is Zeeland apple pie, with ice cream and whipped cream if you like, and pancakes with butter and sugar. Lunch brings sandwiches with carpaccio, smoked salmon or warm ham, toasties including one with goat cheese, apple, walnuts and honey, and an uitsmijter, the Dutch open sandwich with three fried eggs, ham and cheese. Starters include a yellow curry soup with coconut milk, cheese croquettes with Parmesan and honey mustard, shrimp croquettes with cocktail sauce, and scampi in what the house calls its well known garlic cream sauce with samphire. Among the mains are a Hereford steak with warm vegetables, a hamburger with cheddar and bacon, spare ribs with aioli, sea bass fillet with homemade tartare sauce, fish and chips, a chicken thigh skewer with satay sauce and prawn crackers, and a vegetarian curry with cashews and naan bread. Children up to twelve have their own section, with fries and a croquette, frikandel or chicken nuggets, or a small portion of ribs. Desserts run to ice cream coupes, a dame blanche, warm cherries and chocolate mousse, and the coffee list ends with Irish, Spanish and Zeeland coffee. Tables can be reserved by phone or by email.

Restaurant Seegarten

Arbon · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian · Breakfast

Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue Anthony Rahayel / Pexels

Seestrasse 66, 9320 Arbon

+41714475757

Restaurant Seegarten is part of the family-run hotel on Seestrasse in Arbon. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a sunny terrace and an indoor restaurant. The kitchen keeps a relatively compact seasonal menu alongside changing daily offers, making it a useful choice for a meal after exploring Arbon or the lakeside cycle route. Swiss classics sit alongside fish and vegetable dishes. The published late-summer selection includes Zurich-style sliced veal with homemade rösti, breaded pork schnitzel, pikeperch in white-wine sauce and perch in beer batter. Vegetable lasagne with mushrooms and homemade spring rolls with an edamame-and-glass-noodle salad provide meat-free alternatives. Since the card changes with the season, check the current dishes rather than expecting the same preparations year-round. The restaurant names its regional suppliers, including dairy products from Molkerei Fuchs in Rorschach, fruit and berries from Tobi Seeobst in Egnach and vegetables from an Arbon supplier. Its ingredient declaration also distinguishes imported fish and meat, so regional sourcing should not be read as a claim that every ingredient comes from Lake Constance. The hotel welcomes family celebrations and other group occasions, with separate rooms that can be arranged with the team. For an ordinary meal, the main practical detail is the split kitchen schedule: hot food is served at lunchtime and again in the early evening, although the restaurant opens from 07:30. Telephone or email for a table, to discuss a group menu or to confirm the latest seasonal selection.
