This city has successfully combined its traditions with the cosmopolitan nature of today’s UK. You can choose from restaurants offering Indian, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, and European (Italian, Greek) cuisine. If you are a true gourmet, we definitely recommend that you visit the town of Bray in nearby Windsor, which is home to three of the best gourmet restaurants in the country.
You definitely have to chill or have fun in a British pub. They are plentiful in Windsor, as you can imagine, and offer an atmosphere filled with friendly comfort, unique flair and local folklore. Some of the best cities are Henry VI Pub and The George Inn, where you can have a traditional beer, a light snack and a pleasant chat surrounded by a magnificent interior.

You cannot stay in Windsor without sitting down in a local cafe or tearoom and trying delicious pastries, coffee, juice and most of all the usual tea. Drury House is one of the places where you can enjoy a cozy traditional English atmosphere. You can also go for a modern-style cafeteria like Nero. If you need a quick pizza or burger, there are also plenty of fast-food take-out McDonald’s-type restaurants, some with quite tasty options.
