Mediterranean cuisine is interesting, unique, and fresh. It’s diverse which is why many people love it – our team included!
The main ingredients used in Mediterranean cuisine are olive oil, olives, vegetables, seafood, and meat. It’s perfect for non-vegans, vegans, and vegetarian people due to the diversity of recipes and dishes!
Since it’s summer and everyone wants to eat fresh salads and tasty yet light food, we decided it’s the perfect time to make a list of our favourite Mediterranean restaurants!
The 5 Best Mediterranean Restaurants In Bexleyheath
Il Vesuvio Restaurant
Martino and Matteo, the owners of Il Vesuvio Restaurant, have years of experience working in some of the best Italian restaurants in the UK – and a few years ago they decided to follow their dreams and create a restaurant with an amazing menu for everyone to enjoy.
Since this restaurant is one of our favourites in Bexleyheath, we definitely recommend you give it a try.
You will be left amazed by the food. For starters, we always get their Garlic Pizza (the one with cheese). It’s basically dough with garlic, olive oil, and cheese. As your main course, you can choose pizza, pasta, or meat dishes – all of which are incredible.
Since we are on the topic of light Mediterranean food, we recommend the Penne Arrabiata (it’s vegan and vegetarian). This delicious pasta has tomato sauce, garlic, chillies, olive oil, and parsley.
If you have room for desserts, you need to try their Lemon Sorbet – refreshing and tasty!

Delicio
Delicio is a restaurant serving Turkish and Italian food. It’s a family-run business that was founded more than 25 years ago. Their menu is extremely diverse and it includes pizzas, pasta, salads, and kebabs.
All sauces that they use to prepare their dishes are homemade, and they also use fresh ingredients!
One of our favourite things on the menu is the Cannelloni – stuffed cannelloni with ricotta, spinach, and parmesan cheese!

Cuore Food From The Earth
Cuore Food From The Earth is considered a cafe, however, the food that they offer is extremely tasty and well-made which is why we decided to include it in our list today. If you do decide to visit Cuore Food From The Earth, you will be welcomed with a smile – the staff is lovely and the service is incredible, just like the food they offer!
We recommend you visit for breakfast or lunch since they have an amazing breakfast menu, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
Their Caprese sandwich (tomatoes, homemade pesto, avocado, mozzarella) as well as the Chicken Mayo Sandwich (chicken, mayo, lettuce) are both extremely delicious – perfect for breakfast or a quick lunch!
