About this restaurant

Outstanding value
Good for special occasions
Great for brunch

At the Blue Restaurant & Bistro we offer delectable modern British cuisine, with a Mediterranean twist. We are situated on the historic Spon Street, in Coventry City Centre.

Our ethos is simple: a creative menu based upon great, preferably local, seasonal ingredients, ethically sourced and cooked with passion.

The dining area at Blue covers two floors of a beautiful medieval building dating back to 1450, the exposed beams of which are complemented by striking wooden furniture to create an elegant ambiance and a unique dining experience.

Upstairs at Blue provides a fabulous setting for functions, from weddings to business meetings and seminars. It also offers two of the most perfect tables in what we believe must be the most perfect romantic location in Coventry.

This is a lovely looking restaurant with lots of character. The staff were all very friendly and seemed happy to help. Two of us dined having starters, main courses, shared a dessert plus a bottle of wine and it came to just over £60 which is quite good. The food I would have to say was ok, nothing wrong with any of it but at the same time nothing to recommend, I've eaten as nice a meal in many a pub. Improve the food a little bit and this would be a restaurant I'd frequently return to.

We were extremely disappointed with this restaurant - it took over an hour before our main course arrived and then the vegs were cold. The vegs were then heated up but this is not an experience we intend to risk repeating. Shame, as it was good a year ago. New chef?

Very friendly welcome and attentive service it was a Monday evening and there were no other diners. A beautiful authentic wood beamed medieval character property. My lamb shank was perfect lots of it and very tasty however my husbands fish was not so perfect - small portion. The wooden chairs though attractive and of an unusual design were very hard. Very handy location for Coventry's iconic Belgrade Theatre. We will go again it was an enjoyable evening.

Not sure what has happened to this place as it used to be lovely. However seems to have really gone downhill. No drinks menu! Ended up with a dodgy Romanian Pinot Grigio. Food was pretty poor. Won't be going back.

I have dined off and on here for a few years and rarely review but I'm spurned on because there's obviously a heap of anonymously left negative reviews and I have to say that the food and service is great again. Four people dined. All of us with different tastes and expectations and all of our expectations were satisfied to a very high standard. Thank you for a great meal out

Food was amazing but the fact they didn't have a drinks menu was a bit strange. The staff didn't have any knowledge of the wines which made it difficult to order. The food was of good quality and generous portions so would definitely go back.

I asked about the scallop starter, i.e. was it just one or some. The answer was that it was chopped up so I still don't know. So ordered the langoustine prawn cocktail. When it came not a single langoustine in sight. I found out during dessert that they had not had a delivery. This should have been said at the time of ordering or at least not charged the same. I had the haddock with Dahl and coriander potatoes. Fish cooked well and Dahl lovely but with mashed potato -no ! we ordered pineapple for dessert, only to be told after choosing that there wasn't any. A chef did come ask for feedback on the presentation of the cheesecake as it was new, it was nice to be asked. over all it was quite good but there could be better communication about what is available on the menu.
