Most enjoyable breakfast. Tasty, good quality ingredients and freshly cooked. Reasonably priced. Small inside but nicely kept and it adds character to the place. Thank you

Really enjoyed the breakfasts we had. Cooked to perfection. The menu is rather limited now. Mainly just English breakfasts, paninis and jacket potatos, so not the best place if you'd looking for a wide variety of lunch options

I was working in Northampton and just passed this cafe. Tiny place but hit a table. Most delicious and enormous sandwich (toasted club) So big that I took half as takeaway and had it for dinner. Lovely staff and great sandwich. What’s not to love? View menu

The owner and chef, Bing, always greets you warmly at this small and quirky café in a convenient location. He is happy to accommodate any requests you may have. The café offers delicious food, excellent value, and enjoyable conversation if you're up for it. A charming spot definitely worth a visit.

A lovely, small cafe where you can really relax, sit down, read the papers or magazines they have there and enjoy their coffees, teas and Jasmin's lovely, creamy hot chocolate! Bing cooks all the food there fresh everything is genuinely delicious, and Bing has some daily specials you would not expect from a cafe like Chicken Noodle Soup! His simple Toasted Halloumi Sandwich is a great simple lunch and the sour dough bread comes from the bakery in the church nearby worth a visit if you are looking for a little oasis to relax in.

"I had the pleasure of visiting La Terraza Tapas Bar in Upton with my kids, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was incredibly cozy and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a family outing. The friendly staff added to the welcoming atmosphere, making us feel right at home. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the tapas selection. The steak with chimichurri sauce was a burst of flavors that left us craving for more, and the Tempura prawns were simply delectable. It's clear that the chefs here take pride in their creations, as every dish we tried was a delightful journey for the taste buds. As a first-time visitor, I was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience, and I can confidently say it won't be our last visit. While the prices leaned slightly towards the expensive side, the quality of the food and the cozy ambiance more than made up for it. La Terraza Tapas Bar strikes the perfect balance between a gourmet dining experience and a comfortable family outing. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant, which is always an important factor for me when choosing a place to dine. All in all, La Terraza Tapas Bar offers a fantastic option for a memorable lunch with family or friends. If you're looking for a place that combines delicious food, a warm atmosphere, and a touch of elegance, this is definitely a spot worth considering.

AKASAKA Japanese

AKASAKA Japanese

23 Castilian Streetshire NN1 1JS, Northampton, United Kingdom

Menu • Sushi • Curry • Asiatic • Chicken


"I wondered why this restaurant described itself on the board outside as ‘fusion’, why there were so many Korean dishes on the menu and why the serving staff have heard of Asahi beer but haven’t heard of The Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese daily newspaper that is at least 50 years old. The answer is that the Akasaka website isn’t being completely honest when it describes their Northampton branch as a Japanese restaurant. They aren’t really Japanese, although some of their menu items are clearly Japanese. Don’t let that put you off, however, as they are serving excellent food and we enjoyed our meal there very much. It cost us about £70 (inc. 10% tip) for our meal for two people including a 175ml glass of Sauvignon Blanc for my lovely wife and two 330ml bottles of Asahi Dry for me. The sushi was excellent, the edamame beans were great but we didn’t feel that the Dolsot Bibimbap (a Korean dish with loads of rice, some shredded vegetables, prawns and a fried egg on top) offered very good value for money at just under sixteen pounds. We would recommend Akasaka in Northampton and would certainly go there again, but if we want a genuinely Japanese meal, prepared and served by Japanese staff, then we will be sticking to Ginza Restaurant on Wellingborough Road in Northampton. Don’t like the way that the male members of staff at Sakura on Bridge Street speak to their female colleagues, very disrespectful, so we avoid that Japanese restaurant nowadays. Great to have a choice of three Japanese restaurants in Northampton post-pandemic, and our favourite of the three is Ginza."
