Discreet Dining in Ipswich
Ipswich's best evening dining is by the water, with independent places in the streets behind. Here is how to choose.
The Waterfront
Restaurants around the marina have views over the boats and more space than the town centre. They are the natural first choice for a calm dinner.

The town centre
Around the Cornhill and the main shopping streets, restaurants are convenient for the theatres and the shops, and busier at the weekend.

Woodbridge
Woodbridge, a short drive away on the River Deben, has restaurants and old inns in a quieter, riverside setting. It suits a long, unhurried evening, with a taxi booked for the way back.

Booking and getting home
Book ahead for Friday and Saturday, and ask for a quiet table when you do. From the Waterfront, a licensed taxi is the easiest way back to the station. As everywhere on the site, this guide is for adults aged 18 and over.

For Friday and Saturday evenings, yes, especially at the Waterfront. Weekdays are usually easier, but booking costs nothing.
