Contemporary dining in the heart of Roman Colchester

The Lemon Tree restaurant offers you the very best of contemporary dining in the heart of Colchester. Set inside the town's historic wall, our restaurant is the perfect setting for enjoying a delicious and memorable meal. Our menus draw on the finest modern European cuisine, but are most strongly influenced by customer choice and fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. For atmosphere, quality and value for money, you'd be hard pressed to book a table in a better restaurant in North East Essex — and our warm welcomes are legendary.
