Description: It���s hard to believe that Bar 163 has been in Egham since 1984. More than twenty years on, 163 looks and feels as fresh as ever and continues to attract a varied crowd of young and not so young, professionals and students alike. Originally a bar with food the menu has become so popular over the years that we can safely call Bar 163 a restaurant ��� the Mediterranean inspired dishes have a real taste of summer, exactly what you���ll be after if you find yourself lucky enough to nab a table in the relaxing secret garden. But despite the food the relaxed, lively bar vibe remains, making this Egham���s most well loved venue.

My friend and I had been turned down from another restaurant and had remembered that there was a small but cute restaurant in egham high street that we had been want to visit. We walked into a beautiful, quaint restaurant which expanded out further back. We were quickly seated in the back, which had a windowed roof, so the room... More

I've been in this lovely place and I would definitely return if should pass again near Egham. Everything was really good, just take the spanish chicken and you will be really satisfied. also the affogato, is prepared ins a good way and they have good italian liquors (like the amaretto). Definitely suggested

The food was lovely, as was the atmosphere. The service was good, although the food seemed to come very quickly, but since we were all hungry is wasn't a problem. Very reasonable for what we had and I would recommend this restaurant.

Nice range of food and wines, lovely garden. Great for a coffee, just a swift drink or a meal out. I like that you can have a small picky mezzo type meal or a big burger-y type one. The quality of food and service is consistent. A nice boho relaxed local. Egham is lucky.

We ate at Bar 163 and while the food was exceptional and we all thoroughly enjoyed it the service did not match it. I had booked a table for 5 but one of our party was running late, which I explained on arrival. We were shown to a table right at the back of the restuarant laid for 4 so... More

had to find in the area before the local pubs open to offer the same! The Sausages are fantastic but it seems that they are not always open which is a little draw back for this nice little place on the high street in Egahm and close to the train station

There was a great atmosphere when we arrived, and we felt relaxed. Not easy when you've stepped off the train from work. Staff were attentive without being in your face, and while the tables around us filled rapidly, they remained calm and pleasant throughout. The food was great and the desert was worth staying around for. We will definitely come... More

We come often with visiting guests from Royal Holloway. I have recommended that we no longer use this restaurant. The simple reason is that the bring the wine to the table already opened. This is a well-known cheat in the industry. You don't know what you're drinking in the end. I asked once to have the bottle opened at the... More

I have just been alerted to you review and have to say I am outraged by your slanderous comments. Your suggestion that we may be guilty of cheating our guests on either the quality of the food or provenance of our wines is absurd and completely unfounded. Since opening nearly 30 years ago we have been dedicated to sourcing good... More
