Restaurants in Maldon
In researching this article, I have concluded that there is a decent selection of restaurants in Maldon, given its size. Walk the length of the High Street and you will get a scent of Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai and Mexican in the air.
However, this kind of variety comes at a price as curry houses, coffee shops and burger bars replace traditional retail stores. Once upon a time people came to Maldon High Street to shop and maybe grab a bite to eat. Now the reverse is more likely.
Whether these inumerable restaurants serve digestible food is a question I don't have to answer. I can tell you the price and what kind of food you're likely to encounter.
Go to tripadvisor.co.uk for reviews, however bogus they may be. Or perhaps ask a friend. Or just go forth and experiment.
As with my review on hotels in Maldon, this is a much condensed list. Restaurants not online have been given the cold-shoulder. In addition, pubs have not been included as their menus are pretty generic.
For any American readers out there, don't fret, there is a McDonald's in town.
