JoJo’s Meze, Meat & Fish Restaurant in Canterbury

Always a delight. Our favourite restaurant

Good was sooooo lovely, we had plenty of different fish & shellfish dishes and all so fresh and flavourful. Great service and ambience too. Highly recommend

What a lovely people working there so and food! Must be seen

First visit to JoJo's. Won't be our last. Great food and service and the ambience was spot on. All items had a perfect balance of quality ingredients with delicate spicing, cooking and presentation backed with a strong supporting cast of refreshments. Do leave space for the desserts. They are excellent too. Must include the staff who are a great team and most helpful.

What a wonderful little place, I wish we lived closer, a very warm welcome and the food was absolutely delicious, would highly recommend

Lovely food again yesterday at JoJo's in an amazing setting. Got the perfect group table for 8 for my Husband's 60th Birthday. Thank you to Joe, Paul and the staff xxx

We were visiting Tankerton and popped in to see if there was space for 3 on a busy sunny Sunday. We were given several options. The service was very attentive and we had a fantastic meal.

The food was amazing, so fresh and beautifully cooked, we had the lamb koftas (these were melt in the mouth), cod goujons, hummus, potatas bravos and garden salad and we'd recommend it all.

Excellent tapas including fresh specials. Intimate, laid back atmosphere in wonderfully decorated surroundings.

A group booking for a birthday meal, the staff were pleasant and helpful enough but nothing special. They weren't very accommodating to requests to sit outside (no reservations outside) or by the windows. I was just left a little disappointed to be honest, it felt like we were more of a bother than valued guests. The food was good, and in large quantities. The restaurant was fairly full so perhaps my opinion would be different if the group wasn't so large...

Excellent food and wine . Ambiance was great, this restaurant is consistently good and a range of menu and prices to suit many. Lovely

A sharing platter for two was the perfect amount for a good lunch, and there was a wide variety of interesting stuff on the board, all of it tasty, fresh, and well prepared. Meats in particular were gorgeous, and the huuuuge olives are to die for. Special mention also to the amazing hummus and tzatziki. Staff seemed happy, and were helpful and attentive. So yeah. Eat here. It's really good. (No affiliation, just a happy customer.)

My favourite restaurant, fantastic. Difficult if you have the dog with you as unfortunately not aloud inside x

Great food. Not the same old boring menu. Friendly staff.

Meze meal mostly; very strange booking system, we tried online, no tables fir two available, we rang up, suddenly a table for two appeared, but it was in the corner; booking online incurs a £30 charge, which is only taken if no-show; meal we had, mixed meat meze for 2 to 3, sufficient for two, but it could have done with a bit more cheese; cost was £55 plus drinks.

Beautiful views, we sat outside although it was a fight to get a menu as apparently its a different menu outside. The food was ok, squid and potato bravas particularly. Would have liked more salt with my food but after finding out there was only one salt pot for the whole restaurant and then getting rushed to use the salt before it getting rushed back into the main restaurant kinda put me off and ended up just having saltless food when my second dish came out. Although it's a beautiful restaurant, I would hate to see what it's like on a busy day.

Love Love. Love that place. Never gets it wrong.

Hen do meal and wow I was blown away with the food, service and staff. Particularly as one of our party was gluten intolerant, the staff were very knowledgeable about the condition and advised on the menu accordingly.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Great food and really friendly staff. I had no booking and yet they managed to fit me in. Special thanks to Donna for great service.

First visit to JoJo's but wont be the last. Excellent fresh food expertly cooked. Meze vegetarian starter was delicious as was the fish and salad. Staff were excellent all evening and made sure we were well looked after. Views of the sea aren't bad either.

This place has an incredible view, straight to the sea. Especially if you can go outdoors, you can enjoy a small corner, having food while looking at the sea. Unfortunately the food selection is not fish focussed, or it does not leverage the local goodies. Advice for the management: buy more high chairs for children asap.

Wow, what a wonderful experience and treat. We received such a warm welcome from all the staff despite just taking a chance with a walk-in. This is a very special place, the food is just incredible, so fresh and tasty in a very relaxed and friendly setting. We'll definitely be coming back, especially if my wife is choosing the courses again!

Impromptu visit after a sunset walk : sat at bar 9pm and had delicious cocktails & tapas. Wonderful start to a weekend! Thank you.

Good atmosphere, good selection of food, painfully slow service however, and had to remind our host to get us drinks / water a few times before we got anything 30 mins after we sat down, and the tapas then felt very rushed as they arrived a few mins after ordering. Would consider visiting again but definitely wouldn’t be my first choice in the area.

Great food, generous portions. Great service, friendly atmosphere. Would like to go again!

It's always great to meet the family at Jojo's. We shared a fabulous Meze; I had a couple of cocktails; they dealt very efficiently with the hubby's numerous allergies. I'm sure we'll be back again in Whitstable in the summer, and we'll be knocking at the door of Jojo's for some more fabulous food xxx

5 people, 3 main courses and 4 smaller ones, a bottle of wine. We ate sea food and vegetarian croquettes and meat croquettes. Everything was of the highest quality and the mussels and squid a la Romana were the best I've ever eaten. Friendly service, reasonable prices. The portion of calamari was too small. Other dishes in reasonable quantities. I recommend.

Food is excellent, great service, we need to visit more often. Bit of music would have been nice 🙂

Absolutely delicious food and the staff were beyond helpful and lovely. Great atmosphere- it is a little on the pricey side but definitely worth it! Excited to come back and try something new next time.

Baby squids and prawns with garlic chilli prawns were great! Enjoy seafood here instead of going to Whitestable fish market . Great sea view as well!

Our favourite place in the world. Perfect everything. ❤️

This our 1st visit too jojo it was great food was really nice lots to choose from staff really helpful and polite lovely setting very relaxing will be going back

Nothing spectacular or inspired but staff were perfectly friendly.

We went at lunch time and ordered Meze, Goujons and Potato Bravas. We had no complaints about the food or the Staff. We had spacious room at the table which is rare.

Amazing food, amazing staff, great atmosphere perfection really!!

The venue is like a Tardis, much bigger on the inside than expected. The decor is really well thought out & relaxing. They provided a few plant based options, were very helpful & flexible. the vegan mezze was fab, plus desert a vegan option. The food was high quality & very tasty. The staff were really friendly & professional. We really enjoyed the food & the evening & will definitely go back soon.

Love this place- our favourite in the area. Warm, cosy, spacious and the food is just wonderful! The menu is a wonderful choice if sharing platters and individual meals- and we tend to order extensively and share. We have taken friends, family and always had a great meal. So worth visiting.

We have just had the most fab afternoon in JoJo’s . Fab food , good company . And dancing to Micheal Buble . What more can you ask for . Is our favourite place always xx

Always amazing food and service

As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted with huge smiles in a thoroughly welcoming environment. It was amazing to witness a buzz in the kitchen and such a positive relationship between staff. The food was so good, me and my wife beamed at each other with every taste of a new dish we tried. Have told at least 4 people about this restaurant already and we only went 2 days ago.

As usual, lovely staff and great food. 4 of us had 3 of the specials: venison with mustard mash, charred mackerel with chorizo, roasted tomatoes and red peppers, and sole with mussels, shrimps and samphire. All brilliant. And they were fantastic with my 5 year old grandson.

JoJo's exceeded our expectations 🤩

Amazing food, staff so polite and helpful. Also no service charge.

Lovely food, reasonably priced. Excellent friendly service. 👌

Great place to have a bite next to the beach There is the bar menu and the restaurant menu. Although the former is slightly cheaper they are really small plates whereas the restaurant menu i think is bigger?

A very special place. Food cooked and served with love. Never disappoints. Worth a trip from London to taste fresh foods prepared with care and skill and served with pride by the owner. Love the decor and ambience and the relaxed style with superb food and wine list.

Nice restaurant with good food and good service. But the hike in prices (20-40%) on most items seems a bit excessive. Might be worth getting the menus reprinted so people don't see what they could have paid last year.

Very disappointed. Read reviews, was looking forward to dining at JoJo’s. Mussels - although cooked well, sauce tasteless. Koftas really nice, although Pattas Bravos same sauce over - potatoes deep fried - not nice. New Young girl serving food, - who was lovely. Not her fault. Nobody around to order drinks with, or dessert and coffee. Had to go to bar to pay …,

Delightful place to eat, the food delicious. I thought £30 a bit harsh, but I understand if people don't show up.

Only have one word.. Amazing 👏🏼

We rocked up after 8pm without a booking & was greeted/shown to a table that was classed as the best table in the house… Food & drinks were ordered with the friendly staff.. when the dishes started to arrive, we dived in & all I can say is OMG! Each dish was delightful, tasty & portions were perfectly on point for the pair of us.. We will be going back to sample more of their dishes…

First visit for a long time. Food was grear, including the desserts and cheese boards. Plenty to choose from for picky teenagers too!

I’ve been wanting to visit this place for a while now and it didn’t disappoint. The staff are very welcoming, the younger members of the team have been well trained, they are very polite and attentive. We went for a big walk along the coast path first and turned up much earlier that our table was booked for. We only popped in to see if it was possible to be seated earlier, one of the young lady’s went to get the manager, she said yes straight away if you don’t mind sitting at the bar, so we sat at the end. It was great because you can see everything that was going on. The service was good and the food is fantastic! The place has a good vibe, young polite people serving you, and it was pretty reasonable. What more do you want🤷🏻‍♂️ 10 out of 10 see you again soon🙏🏻

JoJo’s is terrific! Really delicious meze - highlights : Bread & Calamari. Puddings also 👌Top Scoff.

We got our food before we had finished our cocktails...which accounts for the 4 stars for service. We were 8 .30 booking and felt we were being rushed a bit as kitchen wanted to go home!... and didnt have a desert....so earlier booking recommended. Otherwise great 👍

Love this place but it's a bit expensive and never open when I want it to be !

Fantastic service and amazeballs tapas 🔥💯🔥

Super quick service, wine arrived almost before waitress taking our order left our table. Hummus, olives, mussels, prawns and aubergine feast. Spacious restaurant and lovely, happy, atmosphere. Staff really couldn't have been more helpful!

Lovely place, friendly staff, excellent food.

Best to book. Great atmosphere inside. It’s like a tardis inside. Fantastic fresh food and super friendly staff. Will definitely return. Thanks We did return. 1 year on. Just as good. Stunning food great staff. Thanks.

We had one of the loveliest meals in a long time. Fabulous food, wonderful staff; the perfect ingredients for a great birthday dinner.

Words have difficulty in describing Jo Jo's. It was excellent in every way. GG. BOOKING ESSENTIAL.

So last night I took my wife and friends for her birthday dinner. In short it was absolutely brilliant! I am usually a very fussy customer and I have nothing to fuss about with this restaurant. The staff were fantastic from entrance til when we left. The food was amazing. Well done guys. Never change your formula because it works.

Good environment. Food is generally good. They have a daily black board menu in addition to the printed menu. Some time the food available is better depending on availability and season. Cod goujon is normally reliable. There are usually a few seafood dishes with salad. Booking a table can be difficult for weekends. Calamari is good. They have limited wine and beer choice.

Fantastic overall meal. Wonderful friendly service with great food. An absolute treat and will return and reccomed with no issue.

Have eaten here before but just cancelled a booking here because they wanted to charge £25 extra for a booking of three people to bring a birthday cake for someone's 60th if we planned on eating any of it which is simply extortionate. Their justification makes no sense - you don't need to charge £25 (!) for three people to eat a cake to stay viable. You do need to keep customers happy and have a welcoming, flexible business to stay viable. Have now booked elsewhere.

Wonderful location, amazing seaview. Hearty service people. A perfect wine and tapas selection. I'd love to coma again!

Great sharing food and drinks, lovely service.

We joined on Sunday for lunch and had the most fabulous time. The food was delicious and generous. The staff were lovely and super helpful. Highly recommend.

The staff were not overly welcoming, and when questioned about a dish we had eaten, were rude in their response.

Tasty food in a relaxed setting.

Food was quite salty and had a lingering oily feeling after. The staff were inattentive and had to catch their attention multiple times. The ambience is great, though. Cozy

We stumbled upon this place and OMG the food is amazing. So tasty and the flavours so well balanced. We didn’t have a reservation so we ended up eating at the bar and even that was a good experience.

The food was very good. Shame that the lady who seemed to be in charge on that day came across as full of herself.

We had a fantastic Saturday dinner at Jojo’s. Every dish was delicious and the staff went above and beyond to talk us through the menu and specifically the adjustments that could be made for a gluten free person (most of the menu could be made gluten free and tasted amazing). We especially loved the samphire, the Cornish sole and the bavette steak. Great atmosphere, friendly place, lots of space and lovely views out to sea. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Jojo’s for a wonderful evening.

Really helpful and accommodating regarding food intolerance. Fantastic food and service

Lovely quality and variety of hot and cold mezzes. Service was friendly and efficient

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Every thing was excellent as usual.

Great food, very clean and really nice people!

Amazing food, service and vibe, as always!

Had a wonderful lunch here today (my birthday). Everything was delicious and plentiful. Staff friendly and competent. The fish goujons and patatas bravas were the best I've had anywhere. Will definitely be back and recommend to my friends and family.

We have been meaning to visit JoJo’s for many years and it didn’t disappoint. What friends had told us all turned out to be true - delicious sharing plates, many seafood based, good wine and well spaced tables in a relaxing atmosphere. Excellent, unforced, friendly service.

Pretty great place. Loved the food, the attention to the service and a little extra personal touch. Thank you!

Had lunch here, first time diners, food was amazing, staff are really nice, definitely plan to go again.

Couldn't fault the food, dessert especially good

Brilliant good and great service. Well worth the visit

Fantastic service from Donna and the team, food was excellent and the whole experience made to feel special!

Had a quick lunch. Fish and potatus braves. With a beer and gin and tonic. Pleasant Interlude.

Superb restaurant - brilliant food at great prices with, very friendly and efficient waiting staff. Cocktails excellent too. Will definitely be back if in the area again.

The service is not of a very high level. There is no high chair for baby in the restaurant. First, they served the wrong salad, then instead of a dessert menu, they brought a pizza menu. The correct menu was never brought to us. As a result, we went looking for dessert elsewhere

Had a great meal. The food was delicious, and the service was relaxed, informative and efficient. The atmosphere was great in the restaurant and this all contributed to an outstanding experience.

Amazing food with a great atmosphere. 10/10. Well worth a try

Lovely restaurant with views of the sea. Food was delicious, service was outstanding. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you are around.

A lovely tapas and mezze style restaurant. The food was delicious and the ingredients tasted very fresh.

First visit and greeted like old friends. Staff happy to chat even though Friday night so was busy. Talked us through options and happy to make suggestions. Large round table for two people and plenty of space around each one. Food was delicious too!

We were rushed as soon as we arrived to order quickly, only one menu to share among 7 for non mezze items. Plates weren’t cleared from our starters before main course plates were brought out, was so disappointed with the whole dining experience, food was ok but nothing amazing

Lovely food shocking service really gone downhill.

I had 2 waiters. A male and a female. Female was nice, male seemed grumpy. Ate Indian chickpeas and aubergine with spicy tomato sauce. The latter dish had 2 waiters. A male and a female. Female was nice, male seemed grumpy. Ate Indian chickpeas and aubergine with spicy tomato sauce. The latter dish comes with halloumi cheese, which I don't like, so I asked for it not to be included and asked about price as I'm not having the cheese. The male waiter said the price will be reduced as I won't have the cheese. When asked by how much he said he doesn't know. He didn't bother to say he'll find out and tell me. I ordered it anyway without knowing how much it would cost. Chickpeas were cold from the fridge. Doesn't say it's cold from the fridge on the menu, so I assumed it's going to come hot. It's an Indian dish, and in any Indian restaurant such a dish would ALWAYS be served hot. Cold from the fridge isn't pleasant. It dulls flavour. The chickpeas weren't cooked enough. And the flavour wasn't great. The dish tastes like it contains star ainse, but it this specific ingredient tastes raw. The flavours didn't taste like they had been made into a cohesive flavour profile. Yoghurt couldn't really be tasted and same for the coriander. Spices likely weren't bloomed. Portion was fairly small for £6.5 and it's just chickpeas with some spices etc. No bread or anything. You can get better cooked canned chickpeas for £1 from the supermarket and make this dish you Google maps won't let me write a long review. So it's cut out a lot of what I've typed.

Superb food, we had an array of dishes and shared them. It was delicious and great value. The indian chickpea salad was delicious with the mackerel dip and flatbread. The service was attentive and friendly, spot on. Can't wait to visit again.
