* The Chester eating guide

Restaurants.

Use this when the question is less "where is open?" and more "where will this plan actually work?". Bridge Street, Northgate, Storyhouse and the Cathedral are the useful anchors; the right answer changes for quick lunch, family food, date night and pre-show timing.
