Cafe Melange in Dover

Two of us went for a late mid week lunch and had an enjoyable meal. I had the roast veg and brie panini which was very tasty and came with a nice side salad. My husband had the Cajun chicken which came with cauliflower gratin and potatoes. The staff were lovely.

Very friendly and well mannered staff, fabulous service ,had some delicious fresh food and a lovely experience overall . Would highly recommend

This is definitely bed breakers in town, freshly cooked food, very clean place toilets 5 stars , friendly people, places not to miss if you visiting Dover

Lovely little cafe with delicious food and friendly staff. Was recommended to try the homemade cake. It was simply delicious. Nice mellow atmosphere inside and very clean. 100% will be back.

I met a friend for lunch. This was her choice, as I had not been there before. I was told that the spicy meatballs were yummy, so I chose them. I was perfectly happy with my choice. The little meatballs were succulent and so tasty. The sauce was spicy and delicious, as was the toasted garlic bread which accompanied the meal. I shall return and try something else next time.

Utterly delicious healthy breakfast. Very good value for money and freshly cooked food and service with a smile. Love the chilled mellow jazz playing in the background.

Food was amazing! High quality, Restaurant style food, Highly recommend, The chef was lovely! Most definitely will be back!

Some of the best food in Dover, great service and great value for money. Highly recommend the piri-piri chicken!

How does this cosy and charming little cafe do it? Time after time we enjoy the most sumptuous home cooking done with a French twist. A unique menu of deliciousness covering breakfast, lunch, patisserie and really first rate coffees. Portion sizes are generous and all meals are cooked to order from fresh ingredients. Melange is currently in my opinion the best in East Kent for food

This is an excellent Café, one of the best that I have ever visited. Clean, well decorated, excellent background music with a superb menu. I had the mushroom omelette with sauté potatoes. Lovely omelette very tasty, crispy potatoes and the side salad had a delicious dressing. Good Americano coffee. Bottle of supplied on table. Rafik worked front of house, he was fast, competent and very polite. His wife Nadjia cooked all the food in the kitchen on her own (daughter had the day off), her work rate was most impressive and to the highest standard. The prices on the menu are very reasonable. My only regret is that I live in Gloucester and Dover is a bit to far regular visits. Thanks to them both for an excellent meal.

We have recently been to Cafe Melange for breakfasts and yesterday for lunch. The cafe has a warm and relaxing feel to it with great music too. The food is the best in Dover by far! Great quality and beautifully cooked. The owners are lovely people and it's now our number one place to go for coffee's, breakfast and lunch. Well worth a visit!

I went here for lunch, because I'd read some good reviews about it. I say lunch, by then it was mid afternoon, and the narrow cafe was quiet. I asked for lasagne, but the diffident guy in charge said they'd sold out, so I looked at the menu again and chose peri peri chicken. Thought I knew what that would be like, as I've been to Nando's. But, oh my, it wqs nothing like Nando's--it was in a totally different class. I began with a tea, which came in a nice teapot. Perfect. I waited a while for the food to arrive, for, as I soon foung out, it was being lovingly prepared. It had obviously been home cooked, not slung out of a pack. That meal proved absolutely fantastic. It came piping hot in a big, high-sided plate. The piece of chicken was tasty in itself but was covered in a rich, dark-brown sauce. Next to it was a generous portion of cauliflower cheese--made with mozzarella, I think. The plate was set off with a serving of large, orange-coloured, chunky chips. The three components balanced each other perfectly. (There was also a pot of garlic sauce, which I left). It was one of best meals I've had all year. When I went up to pay (£14 with the tea), the lady who cooked it came out of the kitchen and asked if I'd liked it. You'll only get that when a chef really cares their work. I guess she was the wife of the man. I said it was excellent, especially as I'd been hungry. The guy said, "We make it from fresh". I said I could tell. "That was restaurant-level food, not cafe food," I said. I hope this review shows why Cafe Melange is a bit special. Don't miss it.

This cafe has fantastic food, absolutely the best coffee in Dover and you always get friendly & charming service from the owners

Great little place for breakfast or lunch. Family owned, quick and friendly service. Tried to go again the next day but it closed at 4PM before we got there.

Excellent café familial, si vous êtes de passage à Dover, profitez d’aller déjeuner, goûter ou tout simplement boire un thé ou un café avec des gâteaux fait maison, les propriétaires très accueillants et la nourriture est excellente.

Nous avons déjeuné dans cet établissement et nous avons été agréablement surpris par l’accueil, la qualité des plats et les prix corrects appliqués et largement en dessous des prix pratiqués au royaume uni. Merci pour tout, nous reviendrons c’est sûr.

I have been a regular at this Cafe for a while now. The food is nothing like i’ve tasted before. Fresh, well seasoned and delicious. Family run business with a very polite, helpful manager. This absolutely gem is definitely worth a visit. I love having a place i can go without worrying about money. Very reasonable prices with top quality products.

Dover wasn’t our main destination today but we were so glad it happened that way. We were there just on lunchtime and decided to have a quick lunch. Cafe Melange was the first place we saw. The menu was very wide ranging . We both had the Greek wraps with falafel and small fries and salad side. These were superb. Our cappuccino and latte coffees were brewed to perfection. The owner and his wife were so very helpful, polite and welcoming. The toilet was clean, hygienic and well maintained. The bill was very reasonable as well. We’ll definitely be going back and we’d recommend this to everyone. A delight.
