Best Modern European Restaurants in Rochester

A great place to meet for a catch up - great food and great staff.

This is by far our favourite restaurant locally. The staff are all so friendly and knowledgeable. The food is outstanding, the range of cocktails is very impressive, and they have some really special wines on the wine list. The restaurant was full, but we didn’t feel rushed at any point. Terry the proprietor is just lovely. Working hard to make sure everyone is having a good time. We honestly love it there.

In a year of enjoying some great meals, Silo has consistently delivered some of the very best. Every time we’ve visited, the experience has been flawless. Course after course of innovative, flavoursome, beautiful food. Tonight’s was the best yet. This places excites me. The evolution we’ve seen is amazing. New twists on existing dishes take each to an even higher level. And their value-driven, ‘no waste’ ethos is outstanding. Our favourite restaurant this year. So looking forward to many more meals in 2025.

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.

It was wonderful. Everything about it was perfect. I can’t wait to go back there. I can’t believe I haven’t eaten there before. The food, the service, the wine, our table; all excellent. Thank you so much Ferrari’s team
