Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 8 Nov, 14:25 · Archive

Medusa, a Mediterranean restaurant in Leigh-on-Sea, has been named among OpenTable's top 100 UK restaurants. The restaurant is the only Essex eatery to make the list. OpenTable's annual top 100 list is determined by genuine bookings, reviews and ratings submitted by diners rather than by critics. The restaurants are listed alphabetically by area and name, meaning Medusa's inclusion recognises it as one of the selected venues rather than assigning it a specific position.

Medusa describes itself as a 'vibrant destination' where Mediterranean cooking takes centre stage. The restaurant says its focus is on Mediterranean cuisine with a contemporary edge and a hint of Spanish fusion. According to the restaurant, each dish is prepared with care, inspired by coastal flavours and simple, honest ingredients that define the region's cooking.

The menu features fresh seafood including halibut, octopus and mussels, alongside grilled meats such as rib-eye, sirloin and fillet steaks. The restaurant states that every plate is crafted to taste incredible and to look visually striking. EssexLive reports that the restaurant has received hundreds of five-star reviews on Google, with one customer describing it as 'fantastic food, beautiful venue and friendly staff'.

Medusa says the restaurant's atmosphere has been designed for everything from relaxed meals with friends to special evenings out. The head chef is said to have spent decades mastering Mediterranean culinary traditions, blending tradition with modern techniques and highlighting fresh, high-quality ingredients.
