Jews House
The Jews House Restaurant
A refined restaurant in a stone house from around 1170. Chef Gavin Aitkenhead serves only set and tasting menus, and it is widely regarded as Lincoln's top restaurant.
The restaurant is at 15 The Strait, at the foot of Steep Hill. The stone house dates from around 1170, making it one of England's oldest surviving domestic buildings. Chef Gavin Aitkenhead, who previously worked at Winteringham Fields, opened the restaurant in 2006. It now serves dinner only, in set-menu format. On Wednesday and Thursday there is a three-course menu with two choices per course. From Wednesday to Saturday there are four-course and six-course tasting menus, with optional wine pairings. The menu changes with seasonal produce, such as Lincolnshire lamb saddle, turbot and venison. The bread, snacks and petits fours are all made in-house. Seating is limited, so book ahead. It is about a 5-minute walk from the castle and cathedral.
