Metropole Restaurant, located at 52 Marine Parade in Great Yarmouth, offers a delightful dining experience that celebrates traditional British cuisine. Patrons frequently highlight the quality and freshness of the meals, with fish and chips being a standout favorite. Jodie Davisom appreciated the great value and tasty options for both adults and children, while Michael Hampton praised the three-course menu, emphasizing the delectable soup and homemade apple pie.

The restaurant's ambiance may need a refresh, but many agree that the warm and friendly service compensates wonderfully. A standout feature is the warm hospitality, as noted by multiple customers, including Jess, who enjoyed a generous portion of roast lamb. The establishment proudly boasts a rich history, having been owned by the same lady for 59 years. Many guests, like Addy Hooper, express admiration for her dedication.

While Metropole Restaurant does operate on a cash-only basis, this minor inconvenience is outweighed by the dining experience. Whether you're enjoying a leisurely lunch or a hearty dinner, the flavors are sure to impress. With its commitment to quality and service, this hidden gem remains a beloved spot for both locals and visitors alike.

Popped in for lunch today, really enjoyed the fish and chips and the kids enjoyed their meals. Really great value for money and good food. Yes the decor needs updating but with good food and service who cares, we will go again next time we are in Great Yarmouth

We had 2 well cooked meals from the 3 course menu on offer. Soups delicious. All freshly cooked meat and veg, plenty of it too. Finished off with homemade apple pie and custard. Quickly served at a good price. I was fully satisfied as I dislike typical seaside fast food. Note! they only take cash at this establishment.

The lady serving us was lovely!! She is softly spoken so for the hard of hearing it is a slight issue. The meals were made to order and full of flavour while boiling hot. The roast lamb covered the plate and was definitely worth the price!! They could easily add 1 or 2 more and it will still be worth it. The plates are full of good food!! Definitely coming back!!

Absolutely brilliant place to eat. The people that are moaning about decor need to get a grip. Who cares if the food is banging?! Genuine family run place where they have grown old and still love producing great food for very competitive prices. Been there since 1964!!! Amazing. We always take a trip here on our visits to yarmouth and it never disappoints us. Whether it's the roast, steak, lasagne or pizzas it's always on point. If you go, I recommend trying any of the desserts as they are all homemade. The Paklava is sooo good. Portion sizes are great, you won't leave hungry that's for sure! I really don't care what you're looking at when the food is this good. Highly recommend

I love the Metropole. A proper seaside restaurant. The homemade baklava is the best that I have ever had.
