Welcome to Mediterranevm at Congresbury

From our beginnings in Italy we now venture further afield – around the Mediterranean and beyond.

With us we take our prestige, passion, pedigree, professionalism and expertise of running award-winning restaurants, to guide you on a journey to a new dining experience. A journey that will stir your imagination and fill your senses, bringing you the flavours and heady aromas of the diverse cuisines that Greece, Spain, Italy, North Africa, The Middle East and other Mediterranean destinations have to offer.

Our chefs create authentic dishes, flavoured with time-honoured herbs and spices such as Ras el Hanout, Za’atar and Sumac, infused with citruses like Dried Limes and Preserved Lemons, Pomegranate and Edible Rose Petals to name a few, evoking the aromas of exotic Mediterranean regions, creating an array of mouthwatering dishes like slow cooked meats and aromatic stews, all bursting with the flavours and scents of exciting markets, souks and spice bazaars. Traditional dishes with an abundance of colour and variety in meat, seafood, vegetables, breads, pulses, grains, berries and seeds. We will be growing herbs and vegetables here in the Mediterranean garden, guaranteeing ultimate freshness. Our meat and fish will be locally sourced.

Your surroundings for this journey is a spectacular setting of the ancient “Mediterraevm” of Roman times, with magnificent murals and mosaics. As you travel you will see glimpses of beautiful Mediterranean vineyards, stunning coastlines and picturesque lakeside scenery.

You can enjoy Al Fresco dining in our ornate Italian Garden during the summer months. 

This journey will also take you to our dedicated wine cellar, where you can see and taste extraordinary wines from different parts of the world. We will be pleased to take you into this beautiful wine room and surprise you with a unique collection of fine and rare wines.

Join my experienced and dedicated team, and myself, on trip around the Mediterranean Sea, you won’t need a yacht! My ‘Mediterranevm’ is here together with my happiness, my food, my wine and, above all, my dearest guests.
