There are also many great cafes which offer light bites, brunches and snacks that are perfect for a quick pitstop, whether you’ve spent the morning enjoying art at the city museum, learning about the codebreakers of Bletchley Park or attempting to stay upright on a snowboard at the Snozone! Afternoon tea is also a great local tradition and many cafes and hotel restaurants in Milton Keynes offer superb high teas with freshly-baked cakes, scones and artisan tea or prosecco.

With so many restaurants in Milton Keynes, you'll find venues for all special occasions. Look for outdoor terraces or roof gardens if you want to see the world go by or enjoy the sights of the busy city at sunset. Find a cosy Italian trattoria to experience authentic cooking and a quiet romantic meal for two, or seek out a lively American steak restaurant for a party with entertainment, cocktails, music and even the odd dance floor on offer with your triple-cooked fries!
