1. Nando’s
One of my favourite restaurants takes the top spot as Coventry’s best restaurant. The food and design of Nando’s are Afro-Portuguese inspired with a family-friendly interior. They are famous for their grilled peri-peri chicken and their variety of Nando’s sauces. Enjoy with friends and family!
2. Wagamama’s
In the second spot, we have Wagamama’s, Japanese inspired cuisine and interiors. Like Nando’s, the interior of Wagamama’s is very family/ friend oriented with large tables and benches meant for multiple seating. They have now installed plastic dividers to enforce social distancing, and it is all table service!
3. The Botanist
Located above Wagamama’s is The Botanist, which they describe as “a secret garden of food and drink”. The Botanist is a wonderful restaurant for a date or if you are just into plants! Observe the wonderful atmosphere whilst you eat and soak in all the green.
