Wow is the first word that comes to mind. This place is fantastic!!!…read more I was brought here by a friend when I was in Hull last week and I cannot speak highly enough about it. The food, the service, the ambience, the decor, and the price - everything was spot on. The restaurant is situated in the Humber Dock, the area around the docklands which has been redeveloped. The area is trendy with pubs and restaurants, a marina full of yachts and motor boats and lots of people walking, jogging or just sitting and watching the world go by. 1884, I found out, has a very good reputation in Hull and it is deservedly so. It also has a reputation for being expensive and if you just take the A la Carte menu then yes you will pay quite a lot but they also have an Evening Market Menu which available every night except for Saturday which offers 3 courses and a glass of fizz for £22 - that to me is exceptional value, especially when you taste the quality of the food. The choice on the evening was limited to two starters, two mains and two desserts. Between two of us we ordered everything on the menu. We were given warm bread to start which was so delicious we had to order more! The starters were a choice of a Ham hock terrine or Mozzarella with tomatoes. The description of either cannot come near to doing justice to just how delicious both of these starters were and how beautifully presented. The main courses were a choice between Hake or venison sausage. The fish came on a bed of champ with a butter sauce, baby shrimps and samphire. It was light and delicious and perfect after filling up on the bread;). The other choice was a venison sausage and mash with a rich gravy and topped with a crispy fried onion. This was absolutely delicious but I couldn't do it justice after being a little too greedy with the aforementioned bread! A selection of seasonal vegetables were presented separately on the side. The final course was dessert and we were definitely not disappointed. Lemon Posset which came topped with strawberries and served with two shortbread biscuits was the best dish of the entire night. The posset was light and lemony and the biscuits were crumbly and sweet - the nicest shortbread I have ever tasted. It was the perfect combination. The other dessert was "Strawberry Mess" a sort of deconstructed Eton mess. The meringue was not cooked just spread on the plate and toasted covered with chocolate crumbs, served with fresh strawberries and a vanilla ice cream and strawberry sorbet. This dessert was sublime as well, although for me being a lover of lemony desserts, the posset just pipped it. Everything was beautifully presented! The prosecco that came with the meal was light and fruity and a perfect accompaniment. The service was fantastic. Our waiter could not do enough for us and this was apparent in all of the staff we dealt with. Finally I took a trip to the ladies. I think you can tell a lot about a restaurant by looking at the loos. These were fabulous. They were spotless and the soap and hand lotion was luxurious, and the decor was reminiscent of a spa! In short this was one of the best meals I have had in a very long time. If you ever find yourself in Hull definitely take time to come here and I promise you won't regret it.

My new favourite eatery in town. Great decor and seating area outside for when the weather is good…read more Food is fantastic, tasty and well presented. Great for the odd lunch or can cater for larger groups, both of which I've experienced with no problems. Well managed and customer service is top notch. You can tell all the colleagues take pride in what they do and it shows. Can get busy at times, and have had to wait a while for meals on a couple of occasions but we got our drinks for free for the wait - what more could you ask for? Open most days except for Sunday and Monday from noon until late.

They have a fabulous, varied, top quality Dim Sum menu that is all prepared in house but is only served until 5pm. The full menu is enormous! What a selection! Over 200 dishes to choose from! They do all usual favourites sweet and sour, black bean etc although I haven't tried them myself. I went for Dim Sum and Crispy Pork the first time and was astonished at the quality. The crispy pork is as good as you get on Gerard Street in London and the Cheung Fun were heavenly. In fact they are both the best I have tried outside of Chinatown and before then Hong Kong. The second time I got a take away to share with friends and again all dishes were of the highest caliber, everyone agreed. We had the Singapore Vermicelli, Poached Chicken, Salt and Chilli Squid, Pak Choi and garlic and the wonderfully named Three Roasties a selection of Roast Duck, Char Siu Pork and Crispy Pork. sigh just fantastic. Oh, and did I mention that the price is unbelievably cheap? Go. Go now!

Pie3 is the third of the Pie empire (although the one on High Street has now closed) and is located…read moreon the plaza of St Stephens. Being outside, it can be chilly during the winter months but the food from Pie3 will soon warm you up! I picked the bbq pulled pork and it was crammed packed full of meat. A pie by itself is under £3. You can have it with a choice of sides e.g. peas, mash, carrots etc. for £4.95. You can add another side for £1 each. When purchasing one with a side, you get the gravy free of charge, otherwise you have to pay for a portion. The food was hot and well cooked and has that good homemade taste. It has made me want to visit one of their restaurants and take in the full Pie experience

La Perla is possibly one the most charming, quaintest Italian restaurants I have ever visited. The…read morerestaurant is so intimate, you'd be forgiven for feeling you are sat in someone's living room, but this just adds to this bijou eatery's uniqueness. The food is faultless and plentiful and the staff are polite and charismatic it's also worth noting that they serve possibly the best Garlic Bread in the world. Ensure you book well in advance as La Perla is extremely popular although the staff are very accommodating, don't expect a walk-in table to be available at peak times.

Mostly take out from here but there are a couple of dining tables inside if you're not in the position to get home quick or don't want to eat on the street. The meat is halal so don't let that stop you they have great meal deals too and the staff are really friendly and happy to talk to you even at 1 in the morning. Would highly reccommend
