Angela's Seafood Restaurant in Thanet

Outstanding meal this evening. The food was just delicious. Loved the ethos of the restaurant and its aim to nurture staff.Excellent service and knowledge of the food. It is a must to book.

One of the best meals I have had in years! A simple and delicious menu. 10/10!

Lovely food, what a lovely birthday treat

Brilliant food. The chefs - who you can see in action from the main room - are not cooks, they are artists. Thank you

The decor is quite simple, and I found the prices to be too high for Margate, with mains around £30 and starters between £10-£15. That said, the food was excellent, and the service was outstanding.

Really lovely experience in Margate. Menu seems to be changing daily which indicates that the ingredients could be sourced locally. The soup of the day had a very rich Smokey flavor and the cod with the leeks was fantastic. Good selection of wines Prices are reasonable - the one thing that I wasn’t a fan of was that I was asked what kind of side i’d like with my fish which, the way it was communicated, made it seem like it was complimentary and compulsory to choose but it was an add-on

Absolutely lovely experience.. went here for my partners birthday this evening and we couldn't recommend it enough! We have both wanted to visit for a while and it definitely did not disappoint. The flavour combinations, staff and service were all exceptional. Again... Definitely recommend.

Nice fish and seafood restaurant in Margate. The food was delicious and the service really attentive. You can feel the fish is fresh and the water always happy to answer any question. It tends to be busy so it is advisable to book in advance.

We visited this restaurant expecting great things based on its high ratings, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. While the food was fresh and decent, it was nothing extraordinary. One of the issues was the pricing - paying £35 for a main with potatoes and bread feels excessive, especially given the portion size. My fish was barely 150 grams. To make matters worse, my partner found a hair in her food. Though the dish was replaced, it was still included in the final bill. Additionally, we noticed an unexpected £2 “discretionary donation” added without informing us. The ambiance didn’t help either - uncomfortable chairs, a chipped plastic table, and a dirty toilet room. Sadly, we left feeling underwhelmed.

Had a delicious dinner here of fish and seasonal vegetables. They seem to cook everything in a kind of charcoal oven which adds so much flavour. Who knew chargrilled baby leeks could be so delicious?! It's small, so may be difficult to get a table peak season or weekend but we were there on a windy Tuesday in early May and they accommodated us. Waiting staff were friendly and professional. Highly recommend.

If I was a fish I would want to end up here - incredible dishes in a real and rustic cosy kitchen. Strongly recommend.

The food and atmosphere were just delicious. Will definitely be returning.

I booked Angela's for our wedding anniversary. Delicious, well executed food in a relaxed atmosphere. It was definitely worth the trip from Tunbridge Wells to Margate for the meal.

Spectacular meal from start to finish. Began with a rich, sumptuous mushrooms on toast featuring an impressive range of fungi. Then a bass with tomato and smoked cheeks (smoked monkfish cheeks intended to replicate bacon flavour profiles and...wow, it sure delivered.). Finished with plum and mulberry crumble perfectly offset with a creamy custard/creme anglais. Other dishes on the table: scallops (delicate flavours, cooked to perfection), muscles (exquisitely creamy garlic and cider sauce) and flourless chocolate cake with sour cream and an almost fruity caramel, just the right combination of sweet and sour. With drinks the bill came to about £125, extremely good value for money considering it's one of the best meals we've had anywhere in the world. This is our second visit to Angela's. The food is consistently fantastic, it's a cosy place with little to distract you from what you're eating, and the people working there are passionate, just the right amount of friendly, and perfectly knowledgeable about the dishes. This restaurant is high up on my happy places list.

If you love fish, like I do, then you will love Angela's. An ever-changing and varied choice of sea food based meals that are very tasty. There were a single vegetarian and vegan option for starter and main which were very good also. The staff were very friendly and helpful, as well as being extremely attentive.

Amazing food and service, all local and of excellent quality. It makes a lovely place for a special occasion.

Incredible food with depth of flavour, cooked to perfection. We had the scallop starter, monkfish and the skate wing, with potatoes and hispi cabbage. Friendly and helpful staff really topped it off, can’t wait to go back.

Amazing food and service. The menu changes and is displayed on the board, they serve the freshest fish they got for the day. It’s a small boutique restaurant, very few tables and you can see the chef cooking. The wine selection looked very good as well. Highly recommended.

Stunning food with a great location. I had the monkfish and my wife had the skate wing. Both cooked to perfection. We had a glass of an English Rosé with was surprisingly good. None of that overly sweet stuff you often get. Highly recommend, but you should expect to need a reservation.

We absolutely loved our lunch and we were well looked after by the incredible team and owners, who accomodated our ever changing requests on a very busy afternoon in sunny Margate. The food was exceptional, we were able to sit out in the square with our menagerie of dogs and friends. The staff were very attentive and looked after us so well, we would definately go back and try some of the other delicious items on the menu. Overall a fantastic experience and one that you should try if you are visiting Margate, you can't get any more central to the Margate vibe, the restaurant is lovely inside with a small courtyard and clean and tidy loos. Highly recommended. Next time we'd love to try the sister restauaurant Dory's which is also close by. Margate has a great food scene and is well worth a visit.

🥾Completed the Beach Roamer and arrived at Margate.!! Angela’s was such anamazing find. This small but super popular seafood restaurant locates at the center of Margate, super close to the beach. Menu changed daily, staffs were extremely friendly and helpful, and with their recommendations, we ordered half lobster 🦞, squid 🦑 and scallop😋 . Dishes we had were quite saucy, so sourdough bread was a must!! ☺️

One of the courses wasn't to my taste and they were more than happy to remove it from the bill, no complaints there. Loved the cured trout though. Nice staff, nice venue 😁👌

I had my lunch outside, which was any of the other places on the square, a long table without nice views. The place looked nicer inside, so I might try that if the weather doesn't call for eating outside. The food was delicious. My turbot was a bit charred to my taste, but not too much to ruin the dish. The service was great, even if i could have ordered another glass of wine if the waiter had not changed in between my courses. While the prices are upscale, I would have expected a few more than three potatoes for five pounds on my side dish.

A tiny restaurant that delivers consistently fantastic food packed with flavour. It’s the kind of food where every single mouthful is delicious and perfectly balanced. This was our second visit and the food was even better. The wine list features local English wines which work well with the food. As it’s small you are safer if you book but on sunny days walk ins can get a seat out side opposite.

Angela’s is simply wonderful. Our dinner last night featured some of the best cooking we’ve ever had. The cod with crab bisque was off the scale in terms of flavour. The team are lovely too and their love and respect for their ingredients and customers shines through. Totally recommended.

The oysters were deliciously buttery, probably the best I’ve ever tasted. The monkfish practically melted in my mouth, as did the flourless chocolate cake.

Lost for words… service was incredible, food was fantastic and the vibes were immaculate. One of the best seafood spots in Margate. Recommended!

A must-try in Margate!! So fresh and flavorful!

I have now come to Angela’s twice in the last two years , and it’s truly a gem of margate ! The staff are attentive, kind and efficient . The food is incredible : my highlights were the butter poached oysters, the smoked prawns , and the fish mains. The gooseberry posset dessert was also fantastic. They offer innovative and exciting sea food which, that saves the face of the international view of British food. In addition, they source local and seasonal high quality ingredients and have a social enterprise arm which supports training young people with disadvantaged backgrounds. I am so excited to come back to Angela’s next year ! I love how they work and the contribution they make to what ethical and delicious food scene can look like .

Simple, impressive, and beyond delicious every time.

We came in for lunch, a party of three. The staff is incredibly friendly and efficient. We had the mussels, which were absolutely fantastic. The beetroot salad was delicious. The grilled sardines were also amazing. And the grilled squid was excellent. Highly recommended.

We lunch here every time we come to Margate The menu is limited but changes daily depending on the fresh fish delivery It is without doubt my favourite seafood restaurant in England That’s a big call The staff are as good as the food Booking is advisable as the restaurant is small

Lovely little restaurant, excellent seafood expertly cooked. Good range of wines and AF drinks. Highly recommended.

Great seafood place. No meat, and always one vegetarian option. Best seafood restaurant in Margate!

First class food in a small restaurant. The menu by choice is limited but it did have my favourite skate, and wife's scallops so we were very happy. The service was friendly and prompt. We went on a personal recommendation, but the prices were at the top end of our normal range. This would limit our desire to return, but the meal was excellent.

We trudged around Margate and found Angela’s by accident. How lucky that this small but wonderful restaurant had space for us. Wonderful food, great wine/drinks choices. Staff absolutely delightful.

Fabulous meal here last night, thanks to the hard-working chefs and George, our ‘hostess’. Margate mushrooms on sourdough, grilled mackerel salad, sea bass/broccoli/bisque, skate with veggie ‘chorizo’ - all hot, tasty and(reasonably) healthy, washed down with a ‘light’ (13%!) garnacha. And the ‘optional’ service charge was only 10%, not the advertised 12.5%. Our third visit to Angela’s, and our best experience yet. Thanks, George 😉

Excellent restaurant and food. Local seasonal and fresh fish. Staff were super friendly. Can’t recommend enough.

Delicious seafood. Crab on toast was exceptional!

Absolutely fabulous dinner at Angela’s, beautiful fresh food, fantastic service. The menu was creative and inspiring - will definitely come back! 💖

They amazingly fitted us in on the last sitting of the night yesterday. Great experience. Started us off with two glasses of frizzante and were suprised with a couple smoked trout and celery canapés (on account of my girlfriend being gluten free) ! Hosts were lovely. Had the smoked prawns and aoili which were fantastic and tasted like hotdogs in the best way possible. Also had the mackerel with confectionery like beetroot, and grilled squid with salsa verde which had a nostalgic quality of a summer family bbq in the south of france The skate and chorizo was gorgeous and perfectly cooked. Healthy portion with the cabbage shared between us. White negroni giving the joys of hypothetically drinking lemon floor gel and the zaks sparkling tea was delicious, recommend for anyone avoiding alcohol. Great place !!!!

Excellent seafood restaurant, great service in a lovely setting

The most beautifully cooked, tasty food I have eaten in my living memory. Super service and beautiful restaurant. Thank you so much!

Superb food. Sometimes food can take you to another place and this is one of the best seafood restaurants I have ever been to. Highly recommended

We had an excellent experience at Angela’s this evening. The service and food were quite honestly flawless. Fantastic selection of wines with great attention to detail. I cannot recommend booking here enough.

Beautifully cooked fish but sauces too strong for my personal tastes, overcame the fish.

Chilled ambiance, perfect fish cookery, delightful waiting staff and a scheme to support young folk…Angela’s was an amazing all round dining experience, thank you.

This place is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in (this was our first visit) we were treated like regular guests. The service was so personal but not in any way interfering. And the food, my goodness. it is such fresh and well-cooked food from the fish all the way through to the care taken with the vegetables. The most wonderful of places.

The best meal I’ve had in ages. The food is sublime and excellent friendly and attentive service. Not to be missed. Monkfish and Sole pictured. The greens also scrumy

Beautiful small restaurant. Great, intimate atmosphere with a brilliant waiter who was very attentive. Definitely only for fish fans as that’s the majority of the menu but we thought all the dishes were well presented, tasty and incredibly fresh.

Probably the best seafood dedicated restaurant I’ve been to in the UK. Exceptional menu and craftsmanship but a small, cosy vibe. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Margate.

Amazing food and wine. The staff were very chatty. Overall a very good experience.

So hard to get a table here but we finally did! Lovely staff, great food. Fish and vegetarian only. Recommend the scallops and lemon sole dishes particularly

Great meal at this small Michelin-listed restaurant - the monkfish in particular was very good, and very well cooked in the coal-fired oven. Well done! The dessert was good but not great in my view. Friendly staff. Having to go outdoors to go to the restroom is a bit surprising for such a restaurant - if it rains, you’d get wet… should be addressed. Note the restaurant opts you in (to put it mildly) a £1/person donation - I’m not a fan of the practice and typically decline. Overall, a great experience and I’d be happy to go back.

This is a small and cozy seafood restaurant. We went with friends and I loved the way you could see the kitchen. It's relaxed and has a very chilled atmosphere. The food is beautifully prepared and presented, our starters were crab on toast and scallops with red peppers both were out of this world. Our mains were skate in a beautiful sauce with clams and monkfish cheeks and lemon sole. The food was faultless and I cannot recommend this place enough. We had all three puddings which were flourless chocolate sponge with poached pear, orange sponge with blood orange creme fresh. The rhubarb on toast was another level good. If you want a personal touch with off the scale food then don't pass this by the staff are lovely and welcoming and the food is perfection.

The ingredients are fresh, the food is delicious, and on top of that, they are friendly and the prices are cheap!! This is the most delicious restaurant during my trip to England.

Great food, drink, and service. Dog friendly too!

First time visit on recommendation- the food, if you like proper fish meals, are superb. Well worth a visit. Pre- book as usually busy (another good sign)

Visited the restaurant for the first time with my family. Have to say, the staff are super polite but was shocked with the price at the end. It came 120 pounds for three of us, two adults and one child. I mean the food is very nicely decorated, very tasty but the portions so small for the price. The space is small and people coming in with dogs. Its a very small space. I mean its cute but still the price OMG. We havent even had a dessert and my child had a children portion. We had 3 drinks, 3 meals, 3 sides and 1 starter. Somewere else we can all eat and drink with dessert for half price. I mean well done guys for the reputation but I had to add my comment. I dont think I can afford this next time and its not even a spaceous or luxurious. I could rather grab a fish and chips for 5 ponds behind a corner rather If I would know it will come that much. We poped in thinking they would have affordable prices. Thanks for kindnes and good luck.

Small but very busy seafood restaurant. We love it! Staff took care of us and kept us informed when some delay happened. Fish was cooked to perfection and the cheese platter was phenomenal too!

Really beautifully cooked food. Excellent 👍🏻

Amazing seafood restaurant. I strongly strongly strongly recommend you Torched oyster. I never seen this much delicious oyster menus. Scallops and mushroom toast were great as well. Dover sole is best sole dish in my life. Moreover, staffs are very friendly!! We enjoyed a lot.

Amazing seafood and wine. Staff were also lovely and helpful with recommendations as they were on our previous visits. Best restaurant in Margate

Fabulous food with fresh and inventive ingredients. Superb service too. 2nd visit and will return.

Halibut was the best fish I've ever had

Delicious, perfectly executed, delivered with confidence and charm.

Excellent fish dishes and wine at pretty good prices. It’s not cheap by any means but it’s worth every penny. Highlights for us were the scallops, mussels and sea bass with lobster sauce.

The food is very delicious! The environment is also very elegant! A place I would like to visit a second time! recommend!

Delicious food x excellent wine x friendly service. Best meal I’ve eaten this year!

Exceptional ingredients and cooking, with chefs who truly understand how to prepare the freshest produce and bring out its unique flavours and characteristics. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The decor is tasteful, and despite its compact size, the ambiance is outstanding, offering views of Margate's beautiful beachside right from your table. However, I encountered a couple of displeasures during my visit. Firstly, the semi-open kitchen design, coupled with poor ventilation, filled the dining area with cooking odours whenever certain dishes were being prepared. If opting for a semi-open kitchen, more consideration should be given to an effective smoke extraction system. Additionally, a mandatory £1 "donation" per person and a 12.5% service charge were added to our bill without prior consultation. While I'm willing to tip for good service, I believe tipping should be at the customer's discretion, not automatically assumed - especially in a bistro, not a Michelin-starred fine dining establishment. Regarding the donation, I understand the high unemployment rates in Margate and the efforts charities are making to assist newcomers to the culinary field. However, whether to donate should be based on the customer's support for the campaign, not the establishment's. A [direct addition] of a donation to the bill is uncomfortable and kind of rude; it would be preferable to inquire if customers wish to contribute, rather than assuming. I reluctantly leave a one-star rating, hoping the restaurant team realizes that minor details shouldn't mar the excellent food, superb cooking, and front-of-house team's efforts.

An absolute must visit. Turbot is exquisite and never thought peppercorn sauce is such a great combination to turbot. They’ve turned down the base with mushroom base so it’s not as heavy to complement the turbot. Every dish is very deliberate and well thought out. The desert rhubarb crumble is a must also and wish I had two of these! Don’t be put off by the tables at the back do the restaurant. I prefer them. More cosy and less traffic.

We came based on the recommendation in the Michelin guide and the great reviews. Overall we had a nice dinner experience (good seafood is hard to find despite the many seaside towns in Kent). Especially the mains were amazing (turbot/lemon sole), nicely seasoned and cooked, generous portions. The other courses did not reach this level. The poached oysters were lost under a large amount of hollandaise sauce so that you couldn't taste the main ingredient anymore. The mussels were nice, though you have to order bread as a side if you want to enjoy this starter, which is 50% broth, to its fullest. The dessert, flourless chocolate cake came with a caramel sauce and a dollop of cream cheese, didn't taste of much and was overpriced for that it was (10£). Wines start at 32£ a bottle. We spent £150 for 2 oysters, 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 dessert, 1 bottle of wine. The atmosphere (at least in the front room) was lively, partly due to the open kitchen design. Only drawback, when something got burned in the kitchen they had to open the front window, reducing the temperature in the room from 'just warm enough' to 'better put on a jacket'. Service was ok, friendly. Would recommend it for a light lunch, for a full dinner it wasn't worth the money.

Excellent monkfish. Cosy, intimate restaurant

Great food, great wine, not cheap!. We made a booking with a small quiet dog but one waitress in particular was almost school teacher-like about it, to the point it ruined the lunch. You’re either dog friendly or not. Our dog is a Shih Tzu - didn’t make a sound but was obviously making the waitress uncomfortable. We can’t 100% keep the dog under the tiniest bistro table. Occasionally it will pop its head out.

Delightful - delicious -- distinctive ... not to be missed.

Staff was friendly,polite and helpful. Food was tasty and delicious.

Genuinely the best restaurant experience I've had in years

Very nice meal here (crab, sole, pear and ginger tart). Nice cooking and staff, altogether a very happy experience. Stuck with English wines (which they favour) and these were very good too.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. The food was outstanding, fresh ingredients treated elegantly for a memorable meal. We will be returning. The wine list was also well rounded and varied.

Absolutely sensational. Came to Margate mainly to try the food here and we were not disappointed at all. Stunning food, clever flavour pairings and for the quality of food served, outrageously good value. If this was in London then there would be a queue around the block every day of the year. One of the top places we ate in all of 2023

Best seafood restaurant in Kent. Our favourite

Fabulous seafood and vegetarian options as well with a seasonal menu made with love and attention... Great location adjacent to the harbour and close to the Turner Gallery

Good selection of food with locally sourced ingredients

A great seafood restaurant, every dish was incredible.

Really nice, small restaurant. Small menu of very well cooked, and well presented food. Service was great.

Second time here and it's been wonderful both times. Amazing mussels, I literally dream about them. Great with gluten free dietary requirements. Scallops were perfect. Prawns lovely. Would have liked a finger bowl as we had lots to eat with hands but appreciate it's more stuff for the table/clearing etc. Can't wait to come back again.

Outstanding fish and seafood, paired with interesting drinks.

We managed to book a table on this warm autumnal day after a short local walk to build appetite. Angela's was plain amazing in all respects, we asked about their smoked prawns and were told they source seafood from Hastings and have it done special. John Dory was superb. Classic mussels. Oysters with hollandaise and roe .. mindblowing. Loved it, coming back.

Amazing seafood and fish, everything was great. Be sure to book in advance!

Very unique and delicious food. A gem hidden in Margate. Highly recommend.

I came here for my birthday, back in June. I honestly think it could be one of the best meals I’ve ever had in UK, and trust me I have had a lot of meals since being alive. Service was insane too, honestly 6/5

Absolutely incredible seafood, I had high expectations but Angela's far exceeded them and more. We've been to many other renowned seafood restaurants in London but this is by far and away the best one we've been to. Scallops were a highlight but frankly everything was exceptional (also had the Dover sole, smoked prawns, mussels and sea bass). Will be back next time we're in the area.

Well deserved 5⭐, wines, dishes and service were amazing. Spent £90 for 4 glasses, 2 starters and a main

Excellent all round. Rob and Mike lovely. Food fab.

Great spot for seafood right in the old town

Angela’s lived up to the hype - and some. A thoughtful seafood menu in the perfect location (ask for the inside window seat). Chalkboard menu meaning the menu changes daily, sharp wine list and the freshest fish and local produce helping create honest flavours and my new favourite restaurant in Margate.

Came here with my partner and dog after visiting Margate a few times and never managing to get a table. It's definitely a must for a visit to the town. The fish was delicious, and the starters were marvellous. It is on the expensive side, and we definitely did not need the sides that we were upsold, but otherwise it was marvellous, high quality food and the waitress we had was amazing

Food and service fantastic. Don’t miss out on this fab restaurant

Service was very slow which I didn't understand as it is a small restaurant We had to ask for a drink and our aperitif came with our starter. The table next to us was so loud they overpowered my conversation. It wasn't the best dining experience but the food was nice. I regret paying the service charge.

Had an amazing meal at Angela's. The food was delicious and the service really friendly and welcoming. Book in advance as it's very popular! We had one main fish dish to share and then some starters and this was plenty. Only point, I think laptops should be banned from the restaurant :)
