Visited with family on November 4th. Will and Hannah were brilliant and a credit to the restaurant, accommodating our meal preferences without an ounce of impatience. Service was fantastic - the best I have come across in an eatery. I am vegan and my sister is coeliac and doesn't eat eggs - the Playwrights catered for both of us effortlessly. This is the first restaurant I have been to where the vegan menu was more enviable than the main menu, so much so that those of us who were not vegan or gluten intolerant ended up ordering from this menu. Portions were the right size.
The food was beautiful, the service was 100%, my son was 21 & given a free 2 course meal. I literally couldn't rate this place higher. Independent & not a boring franchise too�
Highly recommend Playwrights Bar & Bistro Coventry. Went for a meal in the evening and received a great service. It was great to see a vegan menu!
Thank you.
Lovely place. Holds special memories for us. Staff are very welcoming and food is fab. Highly recommend a visit.
Had a great evening here 17 Nov. The food was excellent and the Italian beer and cocktails too!! The atmosphere is very comfortable and friendly and the staff are lovely. Thank you 😊
Popped in today, because my usual brunch place wasn't doing food today. No regrets!
Lady at the front was super polite and nice, a pleasure to be served by.
Food was good too! I had Eggs Benedict with extra fresh tomato and avocado (extras cost, just like anywhere else). It was warm and yummy.
A highly enjoyable stay by the window in the sun.
Thank you! Will be coming back!
I eat here fairly regularly and totally rate the place. It's good homecooked good that's always tasty. I love the fact it's an independent restaurant which goes the extra mile to make customers feel valued
Really good decent food, had a brill night staff polite and quick nice service
Everyone is so friendly and polite, the staff here are truly amazing. Food as always outstanding. What more can I say, a wonderful place to eat and relax with friends.
Had fish and chips it was amazing, I cannot fault the service or the food at all...can’t wait to go back again for a late lunch
Went for the free burger day, thought they were very good! Great friendly service as well. Would recommend
Wonderful service and amazingly well prepared food! Would highly recommend for anyone in Coventry.
Visited a couple of times a few months ago, nice for a bit of lunch, food was nice (perhaps a tad expensive for what you get), personable staff, bright and clean interior. Would go again.
Mexican Experience. I recently went to Playwrights for it's Mexican Night which takes place once a month on a Saturday. The place was packed and the atmosphere was fantastic with great food to match. The menu was surprisingly authentic, with all of the dishes home made. Energetic, friendly staff and plenty of tequilla!!We have rebooked for the next one. Definately one to recommend.
Playwrights. Went to Playwrights with friends over from USA. The new owner (Nicola ) went out of her way to accomodate 10 of us. The service was excellent and food first class and delivered all about the same time.Any questions regarding the menu were answered politely and because we had brought friends in from USA we were given a complimentary round of drinks.Nicola then went on to tell us about her plans for the bar and even took on board comments we made.She really seems to have ambition and i wish her all the best for the future. in these hard times it is good to see a young girl having a go at a small business. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.......
New Ownership. As of 1st of March 2010 Playwrights Cafe Bar and Bistro will be under new ownership. We will be keeping the same traditional style Bistro menu with a few updates. Hopefully the fish pie wont be 'bland' and the burgers wont be like 'rubber'!
Not a bad little place for a bite of lunch nice selection at reasonable prices.
With great sadness I've noticed last time that this place has been closed and many others in Coventry that I loved. I felt heart broken. Did anyone else feel like that?
My old review said:
"Beautiful little restaurant with great food and amazing quick and friendly staff, situated in the heart of historic Coventry."
Great place!! food always fresh, or to catch up with drinks with friends, its right in the centre center so perfect for exploring all the wonderful buildings and the history of this awesome city.
staff are wonderful, very clean delightful atmosphere!
Super tasty food and friendly staff. Have been here a few times, would definitely recommend. My only problem is the chairs, a tad uncomfortable if you're a big guy like me
This is a lovely cafe/restaurant off the main high streets. Has a relatively good range on the menu with vegetarian and gluten free food available. Staff are very friendly and accommodating to whatever you need! Just need a few more alcohol free beer!
I can highly recommend the ploughman's!!!!
Really enjoyed our meal at Playwrights. A great mix of meat and vegan options on the menu ensures that everyone has a great choice.
Great place, just wish it was open later on Saturdays. Would be a great place do have a beer in the summer!
They have a separate menu for vegans, which is very impressive, and I absolutely loved my meal! Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Will be going back

Lovely food and reasonably priced. Great service and very friendly. Lovely decor and very clean. Do recommend popping in for a nice relaxing breakfast.
Great staff, great food, great atmosphere a right little hidden gem in Coventry
The food is unbelievable!! I had the sausage bon bons to start and pork belly main. Absolutely amazing! Will definitely be back.
I like Playwrights for it's dedicated vegan menu which has a good choice of starters and mains and has a couple of dessert options. The menu is also reasonably priced.
The food was nice although the sizzling vegetables needed more herbs and spices. There were four of us in our party and it was my mum's birthday. As we had pre booked and told them it was her birthday, her meal was free which is a lovely offer that they do.
I felt a little cramped in the bistro; it felt like there were more tables crammed in there than my last visit and I was a little squashed up against the window and it wasn't easy to navigate out of my seat!
This isn't my first visit though and I would go again :)
Birthday Meal, can't fault anything! Delicious food, fantastic veggie/vegan menu, friendly and helpful staff, lovely music and atmosphere.
Great food. Good prices for the size and quality of meals. Plenty of options including veggie and dairy free. Efficient and friendly service, and a good selection of drinks.
Great service, great food, 100% recommended.
We visited late at night when most of neighbouring restaurants and bars were closing...staff at Playwrights received us with a great smile in spite of the late hours, served us delicious food and were so nice that the 4 people on my table made the comment.
Great vegan menu with 20% discount for "Meat Free Mondays" & fantastic friendly service, visiting again soon, highly recommended!
Friendly staff who knew about the food they were serving. Quick service ,delicious food at reasonable prices.
Very delicious. Thank you for the great dinner. 😋 Such a nice place.
We had a lovely celebratory birthday meals for my partner and step daughter.
The food and service were excellent.
They were able to cater for all 4 of us with gluten free menu choices for myself and vegan for my step daughter and her partner as well as normal menu for my partner.
We could not fault and would highly recommend this establishment for dining.
