Discreet Dining in Hull
Hull has places to eat by the water, in the old centre and along the avenues to the west. Here is how to pick the right setting for a calm dinner.
The Fruit Market
The Fruit Market is a redeveloped district close to the waterfront, with restaurants, cafes and bars around Humber Street. It has a creative, relaxed mood, and a booking before the evening rush gives you a quieter room.

Facing the Marina
Restaurants around the Marina look out over the water, which gives dinner a sense of occasion without being formal. They are at their best in the early evening, before the weekend crowd arrives.

Newland Avenue and Princes Avenue
These two avenues to the north west have a long run of independent cafes and restaurants, and a neighbourhood feel that suits an unhurried meal. Both are a taxi ride from the station, so plan the way back before you sit down.

Booking well
Reserve a few days ahead, particularly on Friday and Saturday, and ask to be seated somewhere calm, not next to the bar or the entrance. Tell the restaurant if you are likely to arrive late, because small places may give a table away after a short wait.

Planning the walk
Hull's flat streets make an evening on foot easy, and the main eating areas are close enough that you can compare a few menus on the way before you commit. Even so, look at a few places online first, since small restaurants post their opening days and some close on certain evenings. If rain arrives, you will be glad to have a booking made and a taxi number saved in your phone.

Frequently asked questions
At weekends, yes. Booking also lets you request a quiet table, which is harder to arrange once you are on the doorstep.
It can be, especially earlier in the evening. Later at weekends it fills up, so choose an early time if you want to talk.
