Cafe Neon

Cafe Neon is a Greek styled cafe/restaurant on the Big Market. It has some lovely Greek touches, first of all, their outside seating area and menu stand, just like walking along a high street in Zante or Athens, minus the temperate climate of course. It was that non threatening browse of the menu that enticed us in, especially the two courses for £8.95 option.
Inside is a blend of Greek landscape wall painting and modern British design, the cafe is small but has a lower floor for more seating of up to a hundred which is also available for private functions. This floor has a little more fun and quirkiness with its wall paintings and design, which we all liked.

The menu is Greek with a British blend. I couldn't resist the crispy chicken wings(£3.95) to start, they were crispy and still very meaty and came with a chunky wedge of lemon to zest them up. My date had the Set Menu (£8.95) pitta bread with tzatziki (Greek yoghurt and cucumber) and hummous which are home made and tasted so fresh. For the main course I had the pork Gyros (shredded pork in pita bread, a Greek Kebab £6.90) with potato wedges, which was meaty and filling. My date had the Beef Stifatho (Beef in a tomato stew) with rice and salad, it was simply delicious. Chunky tender beef in a rich tomato sauce, the small Greek side salad was a small treat in itself, the olive and morsel of feta cheese was rich and tasty, I almost called over the friendly waitress to order more. However I was full and instead asked her for a doggy-bag. The cafe has a pleasant atmosphere and the food can be washed down with a cocktail or Greek beer (Mythos, refreshing & crisp). I feel it is also worth mentioning that we were in a little bit of a rush and the food came promptly enough for us to enjoy our casual dinner at Cafe Neon.


Open Monday to Saturday 11am til 11pm.
