Restaurant in Reigate

This corner of Surrey has a big European community, with plenty of European city workers calling it home. Maybe that's why Reigate has great restaurants from France and Italy as well. Some of the finest places in town take their inspiration from haute cuisine, creating charcuterie masterpieces on demand, cooking up classic steak frites and matching every single dish with a wine that showcases its flavours at their best. If you love Gallic cuisine, Reigate's restaurants have everything you need, so there's no need to cross the Channel because fine European dining can be enjoyed in your hometown too.

Moving halfway across the world, you'll also find some exciting Indian restaurants in the Reigate area, bringing the aromas and tastes of Bombay to the verdant Surrey countryside. There are award winning curry houses that have beaten even London's excellent eateries with their paneer starters, lemon calamari and masterfully marinated chicken kebabs. Always innovating and offering new tastes from South Asia, Reigate's Indian restaurants will spice up anyone's evening with their imaginative and beautifully-presented cuisine.

Gatwick Airport is just a few miles south of Reigate's restaurants so if you are planning to catch a flight, you can dine in style before checking in. Airport food is inevitably second-rate and overpriced, and if you eat before you arrive at the departure terminal, you can enjoy a superb meal to set you on the right track. The same applies for people who are just arriving. If your transatlantic flight gets in before lunch, why not book ahead from New York and have a table at one of your favourite restaurants in Reigate ready for a welcome home meal?

This part of Surrey is dependent on commuters, with huge crowds packing the trains into London every day. Commuting can be tiring, sweaty work, on top of a tough day at the office. So it can be nice to have something to look forward to when you get to Reigate. Restaurants in town will uncork a vintage Beaujolais and allow you to relax with gorgeous starters like mackerel rillettes or delicately battered calamari. The tastes and scents of fine cooking will quickly help you unwind after work, whether you opt for French cuisine or something further afield.
