    This place is cute. The front is all door which are all open on nice days. The drunken noddles were…read moreflavorful, never had celery in a spring roll never will again but that's just me. Overall this was probably the best food I've had in Warwick sense I've been here all week. The only reason it's not a higher rating is I didn't feel like I was welcomed to eat there in the beginning. The manager told me "you know this is Thai food." Wasn't sure what he really meant but that wasn't needed.

    We arrived in time for an early lunch and were seated at the front of the restaurant which was…read morecompletely open - this means fresh air, sunshine and the hustle and bustle of Swan Street (screaming children). As the tables around us filled up, we noticed the clientele was mainly businessmen having meetings. I guess if you want to impress a client with your sophistication, you could do worse that take them to The Art Kitchen. The service was efficient though almost comically abrupt. Soft shell crab: Even though it's a starter, it's a £12 starter, so I was pleased to see plenty of crab on the plate. I did not expect deep-fried crab to be so juicy and flavourful. The batter's delicate crunchiness complemented the crab instead of just encasing it. The salad was crisp and fresh with a tasty dressing. The Pad Thai looked amazing sitting on a square of banana leaf. The crushed peanuts were mysteriously secreted under a corner of the banana leaf - good to have the option, I merrily mixed them in. This enhanced the perfect sweet and sour flavour of the dish which was expertly calibrated to satisfy and not overwhelm. The noodles were just right although the sauce was on the oily side. The prawns were a let down compared to the juicy crab starter - rubbery and not much flavour. Next time I will make use of the lime, which I neglected even though it was skewered into the middle of the dish. I ordered the deep fried ice cream out of skepticism. Five minutes later this miracle of science appeared before me in the form of a scotch egg. A scotch egg where the egg is ice cream and the meat is dough. Visually, it's very satisfying to cut into the "egg" and have ice cream ooze out. The outside is perfectly crispy, the inside of the dough is on the bready side which is ok as it's soaked in ice cream. The ice cream wasn't your average vanilla - very rich and intense flavour. I was not a fan of the cooked banana slices - there's just something slimily sinister about warm banana. Warm like it had been in someone's pocket all morning. Thankfully there is more to The Art Kitchen than banana (nice leaves though) and I look forward to returning!

    I didn't expect to be able to get terrific tapas just round the corner from Warwick Castle but I…read morewas very happy when I did. Catalan is pretty unassuming from the street, just a bright sign and some blackboards, on the inside however you'll find a really contemporary, clean and bright bar/restaurant there also appears to be a little garden so some outdoor eating should be possible on a nice summer day. The menu covers everything you'd expect from a good tapas place but it isn't ridiculous in scope, this helps keep the quality of the individual plates up so I'm always happy to see it. There are three categories to choose from, vegetable, meat and fish, we had some of each and all of it was presented beautifully and tasted good (the pork belly was a particular highlight). It actually spans two adjacent buildings so the full bar in the right hand side (joined in the middle by a knock through) shouldn't impact too much on a nice meal, the bar actually looks like it would be a really nice place to go and have some cocktails in the evening as well. Staff were friendly and welcoming, they have a nice relaxed lunch service there even though there were plenty of covers. Prices vary quite a lot, it appears that they are pricing to cost so a nice salad or chicken thighs comes in at around £4.50 where prawns were more like £8, you could definitely get yourself a good cheap meal here if you are on a budget. Overall well worth a visit and I'd like to go back for dinner.

    Lovely restaurant and bar in Warwick. We walked in on a whim, were greeted by a lovely waitress and…read moreimmediately given water and complimentary bread with oil to dip. The paella looked good but we were in a rush so we chose 5 tapas between two of us. Tempura prawns with a chilli jam, marinaded chicken thigh, a fig and fried halloumi salad, patatas bravas with a gorgeous fresh sauce and pork belly were all tasty and beautifully presented. The food and two pints of Spanish cider came to less than £40. The place itself was light, airy and comfortable though they could do with adding a few more songs to their playlist! Would definitely return.
