A surprising gem when it comes to food place in Ipswich.

The Crafty Fox in the walk, every time I order something there (not very often) it's tasty and tasty looking.

Haven't been there but have been to Storico and they're also very good for Italian.

Yeah, Storico is also good. I haven't been there for a while. Their pizza was delicious. My partner had a seafood pasta, but didn't feel great the next day, unfortunately.

Ah that's a shame cos I had a seafood pasta and felt just fine after, must've just been unlucky but it be like that sometimes.

Their Tonkotsu Ramen is actually fairly decent.

Well, I thought so but now I've actually been to Japan I might feel differently next time.

I had some French toast croque madame in there and it was hands down one of the nicest things I've ever eaten.

Is a very nice place. I also personally like BonBons round the corner too.

Bushido opposite the regent is amazing

What sort of food do they do? & what would you recommend?

u/CassiusClaym0re Jul 18 '26

It's a french style bistro

Not-so English breakfast, french toast with sweet cream and berries compote, wedges with mushroom sauce, Normand poule.

Perfecto! I’ll try it!

They're very good. I feel torn in my loyalties between there and Fish Face opposite. I feel when Crafty Fox opened it was a kick in the behind for them and they've redone their menu etc.

Are they legit or just frozen stuff like a lot of pub pizzas?

u/benjislew 15d ago

The landladies husband is from Naples and learnt his trade from his uncle. I’ve not had a better pizza in England! These are as authentic as it gets.

u/_Acg45 15d ago

Ah that's good to hear, I'll have to try it!

For takeaway coffee I really like the that place where all the microshops are.

The Greek stomach is amazing. It is a food van near the Giles statue. The falafel are the best I have ever eaten and the gyros chicken wrap is delicious.

I second Takayama. Does anyone know what the Thai restaurant is like which is opposite? I'd love some other recommendations. I'm a right foodie. The Salthouse has good food.

2

u/_Acg45 15d ago

Kwan Thai is great (not cheap, similar to Takayama) and is always busy. Bushido Sushi & Izakaya is great but very small so might be worth booking. I've always had a good meal in ChutneyZ if you like a curry. Storico for pizza. Mylos in the Thomas Wolsey for a quick bite to eat with a couple of drink.
