Cat & The Fiddle - Cobourg

For over 5 years we have enjoyed the Jamaican Roti served at what is now Craft Restaurant in Cobourg. Last week we ordered the roti that turned out to be the most bland offering imaginable, apparently, a customer complained the roti was too spicy. So, now, Craft have dumbed down the roti to what can now be best described as cooked cardboard - certainly not a roti. Today we found the perfect replacement for the bland roti, and a perfect replacement for the Craft restaurant too! The vindaloo beef curry offered at the Cat and Fiddle for lunch was exceptional, far more tastier than even the original roti at the other restaurant. So, Jamaican roti lovers, who want a real spicy roti, accept no more bland boring non spicy food. Treat yourself to the vindaloo curry at "The Cat", meaty, spicy, lots of food on the plate, and the topper for me was the "Arf and Arf" option, of rice and chips with the curry. On the plate was also a good portion of salad. A wonderful alternative to bland food. Highly recommended.

Wonderful time there. Great menu. Staff really friendly. There is a Patio but the inside was so cute we had to eat inside.

Stopped here for drinks and appetizers on the patio. Nice spot, pretty private from the road with lovely planters full of flowers. Four of us had a couple of beers, glasses of wine and tasty garlic bruschetta. Good service. We would have stayed for dinner after seeing the menu (lots of British pub options and also a dish from each province) but we already had reservations elsewhere. Will go back to try dinner next time.

We had lunch on the patio and enjoyed our food. Service was a bit slow but it didn't matter for us. Waitress was very pleasant.

Visited as a family with our 7 month old - not 100% stroller accessible as there are a few steps to enter but very easy to get in anyway (only 2 small steps). It was quiet despite being a hot Sunday. Very much a British style pub. Service was good. Food was lovely and well priced. We would return!
