Highly Recommend. On our recent expedition to Lincoln, we were hungry to taste, something different and savoury. After some research, we fell for Cafe Zoot Restaurant and although I wasn't so sure by the name, actually it come up as such delightful experience. Beautiful food!! I love my rice chicken chorizo paella and carpaccio. I loved the presentation of the stats. The main course was delicious. Excellent hygiene. The service is quite friendly and attentive. Price reasonable. We would definitely back and recommended it Cafe Zoot.

This place seems to be open all day. It is upmarket inside, with tablecloths and cloth napkins. I ate there two nights in a row, the food and service were excellent on both occasions, and the prices very reasonable. The menu is quite broad, and has a good selection of vegan/vegetarian options. Highly recommended.

Super welcoming staff with a warm Italian atmosphere. Very convenient for a quick bite at lunch. Clean and bright inside, comfortable seating and a nice view of the street outside. Decent sized menu with lots to show, including a 2 course offer. Plentiful food portions and excellent value for money, will definitely return. Highly recommended.

I booked a table 2 hours in advance for myself. It was a sensible decision as the restaurant was very busy at this time - 19.15. For me a visitor to Lincoln it was a superb establishment. Friendly, calm, polite, efficient staff. A very good choice of meals available on the menu. I started with poached salmon which was a delight in both presentation and taste. My main course was seafood risotto. Again, well presented and enjoyable to eat. My pudding, creme brulee was 'top notch'. The restaurant is of a moderate size and it was obvious that its customers were enjoying their evening meal and the associated pleasant ambience. For me, a winner and one that I shall return to when again in the city later this month.

Great little Italian restaurant near the cathedral and castle. Speedy service with a smile and tasty food . My wife had the zoot burger and I had the lasagne with a glass of the rioja crianza which I have to say was the best red wine I've had in a long time . All in all a great find and will be back soon .
