Magnifico, formally known as Café Magnifico, is a great place to grab a quick breakfast, lunch or early dinner with some excellent daily specials and some lighter options too. The restaurant at Willowbridge also features a gelato bar which is fantastic for kids and dessert. The service is decent and the prices are reasonable. You’ll find some great Greek dishes on the main menu as well as the specials board, so don’t forget to ask your waiter about the daily specials.

For starters, I had the Greek Mezze Platter with dolmades, toasted pita, grilled halloumi, olives, Greek meatballs, tzatziki, humus and fresh rocket. I was surprised at how tasty and simply this starter was and it would make a great platter to share with the table while you decide on your mains. The lamb meatballs were absolutely delicious and the grilled halloumi was great. It seems Greek food is something Magnifico is very good at!

For mains, I ordered the Grilled Lamb Chops off the specials board. The portion was small for the price but the chops were tender and succulent. It was served with tzatziki and chips and came in a lemon and herb basting. Another great Greek dish!

To accompany my meal, I ordered a Freezochino Coffee which is dairy and fat free. I love the subtle coffee taste and the refreshing blended ice consistency. It’s also available in vanilla and chocolate if you’re not a coffee fan.

For dessert, I stayed with the Greek menu and ordered the Greek Yoghurt with Nuts and Honey. It would made a great, clean breakfast but wasn’t as satisfying as a dessert. The honey is served on the side so you can add as much or as little as you like. It’s a very light dish and perfect for Greek yoghurt lovers!
