“ A must visit for their delicious bagels and coffee. Their smoked salmon bagels are amazing, curing and smoking their own salmon on site. ”

“ One of the best dining experience. Loved every single dish. Well balanced flavours from start to finish. Generous portions too. Excellent service from Tony (chef) and Deb (wife). Unique dining experience unlike other establishments- you’re actually sat in a long table with other guests. You can bring your own booze/ drinks. But they do offer coffee/ tea with our last course- petit fours (chocolate made in-house by the chef). There’s lots of shops around the corner that sells liquor- so you can easily get them before your meal. Added a few more new photos from other visits. Again, the food was equally amazing! You’ll never be bored of their menu as Tony manages to come up with new menu every month! They also started bagels for morning/ brunch. The fish fingers and beef bagels were to die for! Freshly made in house! ”

“ Wow what a gourmet experience. Went here on Saturday for my birthday. Hosts were amazing everything ran like clockwork. Food was so tasty and full of flavour. The way the flavours were combined and showcased. The lamb was melt in the mouth.Can recommend a visit. We will be returning. ”

“ We had an absolute fantastic night with Tony and Deb. They were great host, funny and the good was amazing. Anything you would expect from fine cuisine The atmosphere was great and we loved eating in what is effectively the kitchen. ”

“ I feel so lucky to have experienced the magic of the Gourmet Food Kitchen in Fargo Village, Coventry. My visit in March was a belated birthday treat, and what an unforgettable gift it turned out to be! This intimate dining experience is truly one-of-a-kind, and it’s incredible to think such a culinary gem is right here in the heart of our city. The restaurant is the brainchild of Tony Davies, a local chef with a world-class pedigree, having worked in some of the best kitchens across Europe. Now settled in Fargo Village, Tony has created a unique and personal dining space where just 12 lucky guests share a chef’s table experience (bring your own alcohol— helps the wallet!). It’s an up-close and personal way to enjoy Tony’s passion for food. What made the evening even more special for me was Tony’s thoughtfulness and attention to detail. I have food allergies, which can sometimes make eating out a little daunting, but Tony took the time to accommodate my needs without compromising on flavor or the experience. It was clear he genuinely cares about his guests and wants everyone to enjoy the meal to its fullest. The tasting menu we enjoyed that evening was absolutely stunning. From the creamy Celeriac Veloute paired with Lincolnshire Poacher Rarebit to the tender Duck Breast with Cherry Sauce and the most divine White Chocolate and Vanilla Cheesecake paired with a tangy rhubarb sorbet, every bite was a revelation. Tony’s creativity and expertise shone through in every dish, blending flavors with confidence and flair. One of the most refreshing aspects of the evening was how relaxed and welcoming the atmosphere was. It’s rare to find fine dining that doesn’t feel intimidating, but Tony’s passion for great food comes through in such an honest, friendly way. Being able to watch him work and hear a little about the dishes made it all feel even more special—like you’re part of something unique. Coventry is so lucky to have Gourmet Food Kitchen. It’s a truly exceptional dining experience that rivals any top restaurant, yet it’s grounded in a way that makes you feel completely at home. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just looking for a dining adventure, this is the place to go. ”

“ Absolutely love this place! The ever changing menu is always inventive and perfectly executed. So much thought goes into each dish, it's a real treat. The BYO concept is also wonderful ”

“ May 2025 with more photos added. Fabulous experience yet again. Well done to Tony & Debs for an entertaining evening with exceptional food. Just seen the review left by "Travel Fan" who we sat next to on the night. Feel it was incredible harsh! Sure the topics mentioned were raised but being there, they were in context to lived experiences. Such as a visit to Whitby & seeing the golliwog shop. I would class myself as "woke" i.e I care about others, try not to offend & am sensitive to the language I use. I was not at all offended by Tony's stories & neither was my husband. Shared tables are not for everyone & I would suggest they really didn't suit this very quiet (introverted?) couple - to each their own! Personally we had a great time & would highly recommend. Most of the reviews say exactly the same & rate this as a 5 star experience. But you can't please all the people, all of the time. I love this place & have been several times before but it was the 1st time for my husband. Both of us fully intend to go again. The May menu could have been written for my husband - other than the cured salmon. However each dish was lifted to a whole new level & the salmon dish was my personal favourite. That horseradish sorbet . . . . . ! I could have eaten by the bowl full - it was amazing! Every dish had the wow factor, in both appearance & taste. You can definitely see why this restaurant wins so many awards. Can't praise Tony & Debs enough, they are a brilliant couple, who bounce off one another & bring so much fun & energy into the room. Definitely my kind of people. May 2024 Fabulous evening at Coventrys Gourmet Food Kitchen with Chef Tony & his wife Debs. It's a tasting menu with a maximum of 12 people sat a one large table. You get to chat with the other guests & with the hosts as the restaurant is lovely & intimate - like being invited to a dinner party, where you have a view of the kitchen. Bring your own booze as it's not able to provide bar facilities. This is great, as it keeps down the cost & you know you are going to enjoy the drinks - you brought them! Glasses, bottle opener & water are provided. Now to the food, each dish was delicious but I'll let the photos do most of the talking. So many processes & so much work goes into each one. As an example, the Home smoked Duck- smoked in a aged oak whisky barrel. The Duck croquettes- Confit leg of Duck with a Duck reduction. Portion sizes are generous for fine dining but luckily my son was there to help out as my appetite couldn't finish every dish. When it came to the dessert - sublime Lemon tart, with just the right amount of sharp to sweet for me, I had to concede & took home some of the Lemon tart with the Honey Tuelle & the petite fours. Far to scrumptious to let my son have, besides, he was pretty full by then too. This was my 2nd visit & I will definitely return again for the fine dining. Haven't tried the other menu's - Such as Breakfast & Fish & Chips but fully intend too. ”

“ Wow - what a fantastic place. Recommended by a friend we went for my husbands birthday with friends and weren’t disappointed. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, oh and the food was amazing! The chef introduced each course to the 12 dinners explaining a little of the work that had gone into its prep. It tastes A-MAZ-ING! Great fun evening with fantastic food - we will be back! ”
