The La Fiaba Del Mediterraneo Menu offers a captivating journey through the rich culinary traditions of the Mediterranean, masterfully curated in the heart of Caterham at 22A High St. From the first glance, it’s evident that this independent restaurant strives to bring a touch of Southern Europe to Surrey, combining authentic flavours with modern presentation in a relaxed yet charming setting.
What sets the menu apart is its careful balance between rustic Italian classics and Mediterranean seafood specialties. Starters like the calamari fritti are perfectly crisp, while the bruschetta bursts with fresh tomato and basil, showcasing the kitchen’s attention to quality ingredients. For mains, the pasta is a standout - particularly the seafood linguine, which impresses with its generous helping of mussels, prawns, and clams in a delicately spiced tomato sauce. The lamb shank, slow-cooked in red wine and herbs, is another dish that speaks to the restaurant’s depth of flavour and technique.
The pizza selection remains true to Neapolitan roots, with a light, charred crust and simple toppings that let the ingredients shine. Meanwhile, vegetarians will appreciate options like the creamy mushroom risotto, and those with dietary requirements are well catered for, making the menu inclusive as well as enticing.
What truly elevates La Fiaba Del Mediterraneo is its atmosphere: warm, family-run hospitality paired with a kitchen that clearly takes pride in its craft. The wine list, mostly Italian, complements the dishes well, and portion sizes are generous without sacrificing refinement.
Compared to other Mediterranean offerings in the area, La Fiaba stands out for its authenticity, consistent quality, and excellent value. Whether you're visiting for a quiet dinner or a celebratory evening, this menu delivers both flavour and experience in equal measure.
