CCCP Restaurant in Thanet

Excellent home cooked food from the countries of the former USSR (Ukraine, Lithuania etc, not just Russia!), very well presented. They opened especially for us on a Tuesday because we pre-booked and were more than six people! Some dishes can even be changed to vegetarian versions. All is cooked from scratch, even the cherry cordial is organic and home-made.

food is nice , but the atmosphere is awful, all the soviet decor sends shivers down your spine. It is only for very small circle of people. If they dropped the name and decor, it would be more busy

Absolutely amazing place. True authentic slav food and exceptional hospitality

We visited Ramsgate for our anniversary weekend. We chose this restaurant after a Trip Advisor search prior to coming. It had very good reviews and we thought it would be something a little different. We were the only customers in this quirky take on a log cabin, therefore we had all of Ramsey’s attention. A very funny young man who kept us entertained between courses. The food was lovely, large portions and very different to anything we’ve had before. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Great restaurant just up from town doing multiple soviet dishes and beers. Service was excellent with suggestions without being pushy. Lovely wild boar, lithuanian bread, chicken Kiev and honey cake. All delicious. Will be coming back even though we live in West Kent!

They don't work according to schedule, when I came - it was closed.

The use of hammer and sickle symbols offends the feelings of those who suffered from the totalitarian regime of the USSR, my grandmother was tortured by the authorities of the USSR.

We went for our anniversary meal . Wow we were impressed. Food was all homemade and healthy and delicious. Very friendly service. We felt chilled and welcomed. Definitely won’t be our last visit now we’ve found it . Next time I will probably take my mum and have coffee and some of their gorgeous deserts. I didn’t realise you could just have coffee and cake or a beer . I would definitely recommend

Great place to spend time with friends. the food ( shashlyk, chicken kiev, traditional herring salad, traditional winter salad and honey cake were excellent, generous portions and great prices; service quick, staff was very professional and very friendly, the restaurant is clean and hygiene. The location of the restaurant is great, not to far from the sea front.

Had a great evening in this restaurant.Food was fantastic and the service was impeccable.I would certainly revisit this cosy restaurant again in the future.

Nestled in the town of Ramsgate, Kent, we stumbled upon a hidden gem that transported us to the heart of Eastern Europe. This charming eatery, offering a fusion of Russian and Eastern European cuisine, proved to be a delightful surprise. The décor, reminiscent of a cozy soviet dacha, added an authentic touch to the dining experience, while the attentive staff made us feel right at home. Now, onto the star of the show—the food. The menu, thoughtfully curated with a mix of traditional favorites and innovative creations, offered something for every palate. But what truly stood out was the hospitality. The staff's genuine warmth and passion for the cuisine elevated the dining experience to new heights. Their attentiveness and knowledge of the menu ensured that every aspect of my visit was nothing short of perfection. In summary, our dining experience at this quaint establishment in Ramsgate was a true delight. Whether you're a local resident or a traveler passing through, this restaurant promises a culinary adventure that will leave you craving more.

Finally got a chance to try this place. Highly recommended. Had the pork schnitzel , beef stroganoff and Lithuanian bread starter. The starter is really good (cheese garlic sauce is very nice). The pork schnitzel was pretty good but not my favourite dish! The sauerkraut that came with it was the best ive ever had though, homemade by the owner. Stroganoff was authentic and very tasty. The owner is very nice and funny. Overall great atmosphere! Looking forward to trying other dishes there sometime.

Fantastic restaurant, Great food, great ambience. We were made to feel very welcome here. Perfect evening will definitely come again.

We came here last night 22.3.24 with great friends, All of our meals were excellent. The owners are very friendly and helped us with some of the choices. I would recommend the place to all.

Great food and host. Great garlic bread starter, wild boar, 3 meats and pork sniznel. Honey cake great. Lovely evening. Host friendly and full of stories.

Myself my Husband and our dog visited Sunday evening. We had not booked but were greeted by the owner who couldn't have made us feel more welcome! Our meals were freshly prepared and cooked by his Wife and were absolutely delicious, as was the House Red. Recommend the Wild Boar and House Special. We will be back to try the Honey Cake next time we are in Ramsgate 😊

As soon as I entered I was greeted warmly by one of the family members behind the bar and seated in a room which is nostalgic to most Eastern Europeans. Food was more than amazing and definitely worth the price in my opinion. Would definitely go again. Homemade always wins.

We enjoyed a delicious meal at ccp,it was our first visit to the restaurant which was very friendly and welcoming. The wild boar was lovely, very tender,and the chicken Kiev was delicious too,all the food was cooked to order which added to the whole experience which was very enjoyable indeed, would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be returning soon.

In Ramsgate with a team of 11 people and in need of an evening meal, I called CCCP to ask if they could accommodate us. After a bit of thought, the proprietor said yes but asked if we would mind ordering in advance as he already had a large birthday party booked in. Not a problem, the restaurant has a good website with pictures of most of the dishes. When we got there, the tables were ready and we settled in for some truly wonderful food, well presented with a good range of Eastern European beers, home made cordial and mulled wine. I have to say that the Beef Stroganoff was possibly the best I have ever had and I had to try really hard to slow down and enjoy the flavours! Three of my colleagues had the chicken Kiev and all thoroughly enjoyed it. I also discovered that I had two vegetarians in the group … no problem, there are good vegetarian options available and both commented how nice their meals were. Would I recommend CCCP? Absolutely! Will I be organising future visits to Ramsgate to coincide with their opening hours?! Too. Blooming. Right!! Do yourself a favour and eat here if you are in Ramsgate and the restaurant is open. You will not regret it!

It's totally perfect, home cooked and wonderful tasting food. We ate a great meal here with great service. I had a really tasty Wild Boar wow, what can I say, perfect along with roasted potatoes and salad. But the must have is the Honey Cake. We'll be back again, thanks for making us so welcome.

Very tasty food, pleasant service, good atmosphere.

Amazing food, lovely service. Very cosy atmosphere.

Wholesome Russian food home cooked and served in a tranquil atmosphere. Vegetarian options and a few non-pork entrees for those who are observant of dietary restrictions.

We've been a fair few times now & always have a great experience. The food is always delicious & plentiful, and Ramsay's great. Highly recommend the honey cake!

Excellent food and friendly service at a small family restaurant. Most dishes are cooked fresh not reheated, this can take a little longer but it’s well worth it. If you are short of time let them know and they will suggest dishes that match your schedule. The grilled vegetables of the day were outstanding.

Another fab visit to this quirky restaurant specialising in the cuisines of the former Soviet Union hidden away in Ramsgate. The owner is really engaging and brings a smile to everyone’s faces. All three courses were delicious - particularly the honey cake! Can’t recommend enough.

Absolutely amazing meal wild boar and pork mosko .. perfect host and beautiful food ❤️ perfect evening xx

Hadn't been in a while, and was glad to see nothing had changed - the food and atmosphere are still as great as ever. Our Baltic host, Ramsay, is as garrulous as ever, and his wife still cooks up some amazing dishes - an excellent evening, I cannot wait to go again.

De casualidad me he encontrado con este restaurante y no he podido evitar entrar. La decoración interior incluye elementos de europa del este y soviéticos. El menú incluye una gran variedad de platos tradicionales rusos y del este de Europa que no te dejan indiferente, así como una gran variedad de bebidas tradicionales y alcoholes. El personal es muy amable y atento, lo cual lo acaba de hacer un gran lugar para comer. Si quieres probar esta gastronomía o quieres encontrar un buen sitio por la zona, no dudes en venir al restaurante.

Delicious food, friendly host, nice atmosphere, amazing Chef 10*, one of the best experiences one can have whilst eating out. Food made from scratch, fresh and gorgeous. Tasted and smelled like...home. Jolita :) P S. going back soon.

Delicious lunch with my family. I ordered the chicken shashlik and my wife the dumplings. Staff is very polite and attentive. Kid friendly environment. Recommended!!!

An exemplary dinner, both courses cooked from scratch and served with the owner’s recommendation of a light Russian beer. The menu was extensive and fascinating. We would have enjoyed trying the puddings but helpings here are very generous indeed and there was no space. The welcome and service were charming. We will certainly return to investigate more of the menu!

Put aside any ideas you may have about Eastern Europeangood being stodgy, meat heavy and lacking flavour. Our meals were fresh and flavourful. The Salad Olivier...aka Russian salad was almost a meal in itself. The summer borscht was a nice surprise with its new tangy taste for me and the hot borscht was rich and tasty. Some of us still had room for a dessert of honeycake and shots of 'special' vodka. The decor was very much hunting lodge style with a twist! Ramsay our host and proprietor made us very welcome and obviously enjoys his customers and is justifiably proud of the food he serves. If you are visiting Ramsgate make it a point of having a meal here, you won't forget it in a hurry, for the best of reasons.

What a wonderful and quirky evening! Didn't quite know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. A lovely family run restaurant. The menu was so interesting I couldn't decide, but chose the wild boar which was beautifully tender as was my friend's chicken shaslik. Will have to go back for more.

A truly unique dining experience. The food was delicious but Ramsay the owner was the real star of the show - 5 stars

I”m Joining the other positive posts on this restaurant, DELICIOUS food , but whatever you do finish your meal with the “Honey Cake” Dessert which will make you want to come back here time and time again. Friendly staff who make you feel welcome ! Good choice !

We ended a hike in Ramsgate and decided to forgo the seafront restaurants and instead give CCCP a try on our way to the train station. It was the best decision we could have made! Friendly atmosphere, excellent food, good portions, and a must-come-back-to-try-everything-else menu.

We could understand why this restaurant is rated so highly. Ramsay the owner was friendly and chatty. He made us feel very welcome and he was very accommodating. The food prepared by his wife was delicious and well presented. We really enjoyed it and highly...

Ramsey the owner made us feel extremely welcome when we arrived and informed us that most of the food was made from scratch. We ordered venison meatballs chicken Kiev and Beef stroganoff and weren’t disappointed the food was excellent definitely a jewel of a restaurant...

This restaurant is one of Ramsgate's gems. Food is freshly made to order, top ingredients, excellent selection of continental east European dishes. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. and always warm welcome from the owner/host is a great bonus! Highly recommended

We've been meaning to try this little restaurant since moving to Ramsgate a couple of years ago... and it was well worth the wait!! Wish we'd gone sooner!! We have worked extensively in Eastern Europe over the years and decided to 'go Lithuanian' for dinner....

Although the proprietor was working alone that evening, he worked tirelessly to produce some wonderful food for those vising CCCP that evening. Have visited the restaurant a few times, and have used the takeaway option on many occasions. Have never found fault whatsoever, and the...

A truly unique and intimate experience. Great food, great personal service, great entertainment. Definitely worth a visit!

Delicious!!! My compliments to the chief. Our kids said it was the most delicious dumplings and borscht they have eaten in England. It’s a small family business run by a local family. Has nothing to do with the current Russian government. Please come and support...

Had a great meal here tonight! The food was fantastic and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Highlights included the homemade cherry cordial, deep fried Lithuanian bread and melted cheese starter and the honey cake dessert.

Had an excellent meal tonight. Friendly host and lovely food. Herring salad was brilliant. Honey cake yummy!

Very tasty food and lovely service. There were no free tables at Thursday night, what means that the the restaurant is very popular. Nice family business. Wish them prosperity👍

Ate here to connect with Ukraine and its food. Good meal, original, individual and personal atmosphere, decor and ambience. Really enjoyed the excellent borscht and schnitzel.

Four of us had a really nice meal. it was all good but the chefs recomendation of fried bried and cheese sauce was a highlight as was my solyanka. Moscow pork, dumplings in broth and venison meatballs were all really excellent. The lithuanian ale was...

We had a wonderful lunch and would like to thank Ramsey for the delicious food and service. I can highly recommend CCCP restaurant.

This is a very welcoming dining experience of home cooked food. I have travelled a lot in Russia and this was so authentic. The potato pancakes stuffed with mince were a triumph of taste and texture. Great Lithuanian beer available as well as authentic cherry...

What can I say. We found this restaurant as number 1 for Ramsgate on Tripadvisor and thought we would try it out and we were not disappointed. The guy that owns it is fantastic and really made our evening. We laughed, we ate really well...

Fabulous host ! Nice beer! Lovely little place super friendly staff which made our evening! Nice food for meat eaters ,fair for veggies but accommodating. Great atmosphere.

We had such a lovely meal - the Russian salad and beef stroganoff was amazing. There were 20 of us and the host and server handled everything brilliantly. Ramsey is very lovely and the atmosphere is great. Highly highly recommend

Warm welcome and superb home cooked food. Ukrainian beer was pretty special too. Very highly recommended

A family run restaurant serving food originating from all parts of the former Soviet Union,hence the name,not just Russian. Important to say this as sadly they have been unfairly treated recently due to the actions of Putin . Tonight they were donating all profits to...

Lovely home cooked dumplings main course and delicious aubergine starter. Friendly welcome. Recommended. Thursday night is in solidarity with Ukraine. Good for the restaurant team giving their support.

A superb menu of wholesome and well cooked dishes, an entertaining theme and staffed by friendly capable folk. I'm looking at returning with more friends in the very near future.

What a find. Amazing little restaurant in ramsgate. Interesting decor, spotless and quirky. Owner was attentive, spent time with us helping us choose our dishes. His wife cooks the food fresh and our food was superb. Would highly recommend the borscht soup and potato pancakes!...

Superb restaurant with delicious food,a great ambiance and an amazing host who also owns the restaurant. For something a little bit different this restaurant cannot be beaten and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

We had a lovely time at CCCP - nice atmosphere and décor, the food was absolutely tasty (we had the Russian salad, trout, dumplings and honey cake). Ramsay was a great host with a great sense of humour - Merci beaucoup / cпасибо !

Surprisingly good! All home cooked to order, very high quality. Owner is always willing to please. Highly recommended.

A very welcoming friendly family owned restaurant. Good honest food, tasty and fresh. The owners wit and Dad jokes come free with every serving. With only the 1 vegetarian option this could limit my visits, hopefully a few more get added in future. Overall an...

How can i say it?? Rip off, non authentic Russian food. Lots of short cuts used, including the use of shop bought mayonnaise to hide the bland flavours of the food. Dishes completely overpriced and small. The beer was watered down and flavourless and the wine cheap plonk. We ordered but promptly left before our main course was brought to us. For £20 a main dish i would expect top notch like the food i have eaten in Russian restaurants in London that i have eaten in. Don't waste your money.

Pyszności do jedzenia i wspaniała obsługa! - pierwsza wizyta Niestety podczas drugiej wizyty nie było już tak dobrze. Długie oczekiwanie na dania, sugerowanie przez właściciela najdroższych pozycji w karcie jako tych najszybszych do przyrządzenia oraz brak klimatyzacji. Zamiast tego podsufitowy wiatrak roznoszący okropny zapach przepoconych klientów. Nie wrócę!

So glad to have a restaurant like this to visit. LOVE the fact that it's Soviet themed rather than just contemporary. Russian pop music, charming and welcoming owner, comfortable atmosphere and fun decor. And the food (nearly all freshly prepared) whether soup, garlic breasdsticks, wild...

Fun and relaxed with great home cooking we really enjoyed our evening. Particularly loved the dumplings and the amazing homemade honey cake...we will be back.

The restaurant is family run. Good atmosphere and if you wish you could discuss the history of the Soviet Union as I had with the owners. I found this very interesting and they were happy to engage with you and explain issues and the development...

From start to finish this was an unworldly experience but do not be put off…simply divine food and edgy banter from the host. Go with the flow and you’ll have a great night. It’s Faulty Towers meets Dr Strangelove but can’t stress too much that...

Excellent home cooked food and great service with the entertaining owner! Delicious Borscht to start followed by stuffed dumplings.

Visited this restaurant after reading a local review not disappointed at all I totally recommend this place there’s so much choice of beer’s the menu is alive with some dishes from the 15 states of the Soviet Union absolutely fantastic the owner was extremely friendly...

Wonderful range of Eastern European dishes. Very friendly helpful staff. The Cherry Cordial and Honey cake are truly something special

The food and atmosphere was outstanding. The owner was extremely friendly and made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. It was one of the best meals I have ever had, so delicious. I would highly recommend going to this restaurant, well worth...

Not very vegan healthy ,but hey ho.

Apart from a small problem with the heating which they tried to fix with a radiator, we had the best experience, excellent customer service, very very tasty food. I recommend this place 100%

Really good customer service. Excellent Borsch, excellent food! Yammyyy 💪

Great staff, always euthanized, great food, very welcoming. Love this place, highly recommended

Always a warm welcome and the food delicious

Really lovely place. Blini, potato pancakes, delicious vodka, friendly service. We'll be back soon

Superb family run restaurant which serves dishes from the 15 states which made up the old USSR. I had the Lithuanian traditional dish called a "Zeppelin" - which consisted of a type of potato with mince stuffing. Delicious 😋. My partner had a "Pork Moscow",...

I celebrated my 50th birthday at this restaurant on 28th October on the basis of previous reviews. It was a busy night as there were 16 of us at one point. Ramsay took our food orders in advance and everything went smoothly on the day. We all had an enjoyable evening. Ramsay and his crew looked after us, the varied dishes we had were very tasty and portions were big. Would definitely recommend.
