A thoroughly Medieval affair! The Fiddlers Restaurant is a tri-level masterpiece of medieval design with dark wooden floors, heavy stained glass windows, velvety cushioned chairs, and arched stone front. The lower level (The Dungeon—where the toilets are located) features stone floors, more stained glass, and dark wooden touches that add an old-world charm to this casually elegant place.
On the first floor (the entrance floor) guests will find the bar, a big screen TV, and a spacious dining room filled with colourful artwork and decorative arches. Main course meals are served here. In a similar decor is the upstairs sandwich bar, also a spacious, uniquely decorated hall of rooms.
Fiddlers Restaurant offers a variety of menu choices, friendly staff, and a beautifully decorated step back in time.
