Suffolk is a foodie's dream with dozens of glorious restaurants dotted across the county wherever you look.
However, there are some places that you need to visit if you want to say you've eaten the very best that Suffolk has to offer.
These are seven of the best restaurants you can't afford to miss...
1. Pea Porridge
Where: 28-29 Cannon St, Bury Saint Edmunds IP33 1JR
Beginning with Suffolk's only Michelin Star restaurant seems an obvious place to start for this list.
Pea Porridge's dishes take inspiration from North Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean, giving diners a unique experience that you won't get anywhere else.
2. Watson and Walpole
Where: 3 Church St, Framlingham, Woodbridge IP13 9BQ
This modern Italian restaurant opened in 2020 and has gone on to become one of the county's most exciting places to eat thanks to its intriguing twists on classic dishes.
With a menu that changes every month, Watson and Walpole continuously offers something new to guests who return throughout the year.
3. The Unruly Pig
Where: Orford Rd, Bromeswell, Woodbridge IP12 2PU
Hardly a month goes by where the Unruly Pig doesn't win an award or is nominated for one - but there's a very good reason it has seen so much success in recent years.
Named as the UK's best gastropub in 2022 and the second best in 2023, it's the place to go for anyone looking for some expertly-made hearty food.
4. The Woodyard
Where: Unit 3a, Deben Wharf, Tide Mill Way, Woodbridge IP12 1FP
If pizza is what you fancy, you might want to head over to Woodbridge to grab a table at The Woodyard.
With the smell of wood-fired pizza wafting out the door, it is no surprise to see a very busy restaurant in the evenings.
5. The Weeping Willow
Where: 39 Bury Rd, Barrow Hill, Barrow, Bury Saint Edmunds IP29 5AB
Perhaps one of the most picturesque restaurants you're likely to visit, the food at The Weeping Willow is just as impressive as its design.
Whether you're looking for a full three-course meal or just a crisp pint in the sunshine, look no further than this country pub.
6. Fields Farm Shop and Cafe
Where: Park Rd, East Bergholt, Colchester CO7 6XS
There's nothing quite like a Sunday lunch, so if you're looking for the pinnacle of roast dinners, Fields is the place to go.
However, make sure to visit on a weekday for a stunning breakfast, sweet or savoury treat and a wander through the on-site shop.
7. The Suffolk
Where: 152 High St, Aldeburgh IP15 5AQ
A new addition to Suffolk's lineup of restaurants, The Suffolk has rocketed in popularity in Aldeburgh.
Serving up a concise menu inspired by the coast and using local ingredients, it has emerged as one of the best seafood restaurants you're likely to find.
