“ We stopped at Cafe Nucleus in Rochester for a quick lunch and drink. They seated us straight away which was great considering we could see how busy they were. The service was amazing as was the food. Not overpriced for what it was. We left very satisfied. ”
“ This restaurant is STUNNING. My favourite place I’ve been to so far in Rochester. The only downside (for me) was the lack of main meal options. I’m not a fan of meat, and they only had meat options. The chef did end up making me a vegetarian option which was a cauliflower steak with roasted veg, which was really lovely of him. But I would love for a chicken option. The bruschetta was the best thing I’ve ever flipping tasted like OH MY. And the staff are WONDERFUL. ”
“ Really enjoyable brunch with friends, we reserved an outside table in advance with the weather being amazing. We all had similar food, fizzy drinks and coffee. Eggs and avocado were delicious and catering for one gluten free was perfect. The atmosphere was really pleasant and the pricing was good. I will definitely be back soon, I have promised my daughter brunch when she’s back home!! ”
“ As always a truly beautiful breakfast ... I’d completely forgotten that they add a little special element for the birthday person ... so cute and over indulgent . My only issue is they won’t give a pot of hot water to top the tea pot Good food Good service Beautiful place ”
“ Very lovely atmosphere for dining out! Excellent service and food was just magnificent. The menu is very versatile and has many options, lots of drinks to choose from too which was great. We didn't have to wait long and the staff made sure we have everything we need. One of the best places to go to if you want a cosy yet exquisite evening. The location is close to Rochester castle so if you want you can have a nice walk after dinner. Me and my partner enjoyed every second. Definitely coming back again for brunch next time! ”

“ What a lovely place for Saturday brunch in Rochester. Very good menu options, including vegan and gluten-free.

Very nice and clean restaurant, lovely ambient and staff. ”
