Residence Cafe & Bar (Cookridge)

Customers who came in after me had their orders taken before me. I ordered a breakfast sandwich which was described as buttered ciabatta. It arrived without butter. It can’t have been fresh either because it was too tough and dry to eat. The slice of black pudding, the thinnest slice I’ve ever, ever seen, was completely overcooked and hard. So was the slice of cheese on top of it. The egg was fine. I shared a pot of tea with my friend and we were both charged for the pot. I wasn’t offered a receipt and when I asked for one was told it was too late, I ‘d have to wait for the manager to come and do it. This was my first visit. Totally unimpressed so also my last.

We usually go to the cafe in meanwood park, but have converted to residence. Great food and reasonably priced

We used to come to this place quite often but I think this was our last visit. £45 for 2 burgers and 4 drinks is just not what I expect from lunch time dining. Charging £15 for a burger is just not justifiable for this type of place. You aren't serving premium burgers, it's a pretty regular burger with basic fries without much offer in terms of dips. I could drive down to miller and carter and get a spectacular burger for £2 more. I used to order eggs royal at your place and now that has gone up to £12 with the portion size being pretty small and still leaving me hungry. You should really reconsider your pricing strategy, we aren't exactly poor but we no longer feel that your place is value for money and the last 3 times we have been your place wasn't exactly busy which I imagine probably has to do something with your prices vs value.

Yum

We came in for lunch today and was served by Annabelle and Liz! Both were really hospitable and the food was great. Annabelle made the best coffee and we had a great time!

Arrived without a booking and got lucky with a table... Accommodating for our young children and the food was delicious. Eva & Alex were brill. We love the coffee as well!! Parking: Parked on the street, not always a lot but no issues today. Kid-friendliness: Small space but mess didn't matter. Food was enjoyed

Fab new discovery. Would give them 6 stars if I could for how lovely they were to my autistic daughter who arrived crying and also wanted to order completely off menu. Food and coffee delicious. Shout out to Eva and Alex.

We went for some lunch for my grandpas birthday and the staff were absolutely brilliant, the food was gorgeous and all round atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. Our server was Eva she was really friendly and attentive, she deserves a bonus for being such a credit to the restaurant! We couldn’t be happier with the experience :)

Very popular best to book a table if there's 6 people or get there early
