Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Croydon

Better food than the other ‘gastro’ pubs in the area. I think they have a new chef. On this latest visit, the food was good, but we waited nearly an hour between starter and main… service was patchy - some fantastic staff working really hard are let down by some of the service team. Still a good choice for quality food in a pub on the edge of the common.

Everything was great. The comte frites and the bread were amazing at the start - the butter was to die for. The beef starter was superb and tender and the tomato starter was equally as good. We then shared the monkfish and the gnocchi which were both 10/10. The sauce on both was outrageous. Would like to come back Not overly priced

We received prompt and friendly service without fuss. All 3 courses of our a la carte menu choice ( as there were 2 of us, this means 6 dishes tried ) were excellent ( eg. halibut, beef tartare, pork cheek. tandoori monkfish , baked coffee tart ). We expected a high quality of food and service and we were not disappointed. Our white wine was served appropriately chilled. The restaurant was busy in this lead up to Christmas and yet our server took time to explain the menu and courses were delivered in a timely fashion. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable eating experience.

A restraint that delivered on all fronts, from peculiar concoctions that challenge your ideas on food, to tried and tested but impeccably executed flavor combinations, all brought to you with the ever warm and welcoming hospitality the world has come to expect from Ireland. I have not a bad word to say about my families experience eating here and it’s definitely a standout highlight of our trip while visiting from the United States, needless to say we will back to Myrtle in the near future as we thoroughly enjoyed every dish.

Simply superb! Great food beautifully served. Good wine list. Really can't fault it and would heartily recommend to all those that like The Medlar.
