Discreet Dining in Blackpool
Blackpool's food runs from seafront classics to quieter restaurants away from the crowds. Here is how to find a calm table.
The seafront
Along the Promenade, places to eat are busy, casual and quick, especially in summer. They suit a relaxed bite rather than a quiet dinner.

The town centre
The streets behind the seafront have restaurants that are calmer than the Promenade, convenient for the theatres and the Winter Gardens.

North Shore
North Shore is quieter, and its restaurants suit a slower evening away from the busiest stretch of the town.

Lytham St Annes
Lytham, a short drive south, has a wider choice of restaurants in a much quieter setting. It is the best choice for a calm, unhurried dinner, with a taxi booked for the way back.
