Great food, lovingly produced and beautifully presented. Divine scallops, perfectly cooked and flavoured fish. Worth staying in Rye just to eat here Second visit exceeded expectations from first. Late February featured a scallop festival, divine food and perfect service. Great food and unpretentious surroundings.

We enjoyed an incredible birthday meal at the Bistro, everything - from the first cocktails to the last ristretto was perfect, it's fantastic that Rye has an establishment providing this level of food and service. The presentation, flavour, choice, and local ingredients were all top quality and really hard to beat around here. The staff were friendly and attentive, in all it was a really outstanding dining experience. I would highly recommend a visit.

Best Restaurant in Rye by far... we actually always book this restaurant before booking our hotel as there is no point going to Rye if you can't eat here.

I can't praise this establishment high enough! We run a wine establishment in Rye that makes it difficult to get time to eat out. Fortunately we had an evening free, so booked in, and boy were we blown away. The food was fantastic. The lobster starter was divine as was my partners tortellini. The mains of guinea fowl and potato roll were superb and we shared a wonderful elderflower pannacotta. A decent red wine accompanied, and the service from the two girls Keavy and Honey was exceptional. I had to meet chef Martin at the end of the evening to tell him how damn good the whole experience was. I will make sure that we recommend our wine customers to eat there when staying in Rye. They'd be mad not to!

We would have loved to come here for my sister’s 30th, but they state that they won’t cater for vegans. This is a real shame - a lot of your younger customers visiting from London are vegan these days, and it would only take a few tweaks to your menu to cater for them. Why miss out on the business when it’s the way the future is trending?

Booked here earlier in the day. The menu is modest but still very interesting. A party of three, with allergies for soya gluten and black pepper, this was not a problem for them. In the end, two of the party had starters and desert and one main and desert. Scallops pork belly and crumble, mushrooms on toast. Whilst I had lemon Sole fillets, these were all top-notch. The deserts were tarte tatin one clotted cream and one with ice cream brilliant. One order chocolate mousse - enjoyable. Really good evening highly recommended

One of the best meals we've had, service was good not pushy and a nice atmosphere. Each course was well balanced and the flavours and presentation superb. I don't use that word very often. I would have preferred my straw potatoes on the top so they stayed crunchy but other than that, excellent .

I don't really write many reviews, but when my fiance and I went on a two-week honeymoon to France and England, I had to come back and write a review about this great place! The food, atmosphere, people, etc. Everything was perfect. The week before, we had been to some very highly-rated restaurants in Paris, but this one was our favorite of every place we went to on our honeymoon. Thank you for providing such a great meal!

Simply WOW. So glad we decided to eat here instead of heat up leftovers. The food was amazing. Every bite a taste sensation. The scallop starter was probably the best scallop starter I have ever had (and it's my go to favourite so I've had a few). Every individual component of each dish was fantastic in their own right but also worked brilliantly together. Yes this place is on the pricey side but the portions are quite big for fine dining and the quality is so good it's worth every penny. Service was also excellent and our young waitress was pleasant, friendly and attentive. Our only negative is that it is too far from where we live to be a regular visit!

The first time we have been as our friends who we went with booked 3 weeks ago. Very popular and rated the best restaurant in Rye. Great selection of local produce on the menu, a nice ambience and excellent service. The complementary bread was very nice accompanied with oils and Marmite butter. We had for starters Scallops and for main local Venison 2 ways. Washed down with a Spanish Rioja. The food was well presented and the flavours were perfectly matched and delicious. I feel it's only a matter of time before a Michelin star appears.

The food here is excellent. I would say that my only gripe is that my fussy tastes (for main course) aren't really catered for. Last night there were only four mains: cod fillet, lemon sole fillet, a vegetarian (or was it vegan?) option (miso braised hispi cabbage etc), duck and venison. I don't like fish, am not a vegetarian, find venison and duck too heavy/rich. Yes, I know I am fussy! I ended up having the venison, but it was as heavy as I remembered it, though tender. I would have loved there to be a nice simple maybe chicken dish, or even lamb, or a vegetarian dish that appealed (hispi cabbage did not appeal, particularly as I happened to have had it the night before somewhere else!). Anyway, don't let this put anyone off as meals at Landgate Bistro are a culinary delight and it's only me being super fussy.

It was worth the wait!! We had had to cancel last year’s plans due to a Covid lockdown. <br />From the moment we entered the Landgate Bistro until we left, we felt valued and looked after without it being intrusive. <br />The food was delicious and so well presented. Although the menu is small it caters for many eating preferences. The wine list was interesting and we were spoilt for choice. <br />We would recommend eating here and will definitely be back.

This was the first time we visited Landgate Bistro after the restaurant being recommended by a few people. Recommendations can sometimes be disappointing but I am very pleased to say it did not. I would certainly feel very confident in recommending the restaurant myself. It is a small restaurant and so could be noisy if there is a lot of people. <br />I will certainly go again.

Still, for us, the best restaurant in the Rye area by far. Great food (their home made focaccia bread is the best I’ve ever tasted) and ambiance. Venison was perfectly cooked, their lamb and seafood dishes similarly so. This is a premium eatery so the question of value is a little academic; 3 courses with wine for two will be around GBP130/150 depending on what you select & how much you drink. Looking forward to our next visit already.

We dined here last night and the meal was fantastic. We were both in agreement that the foccacia to start was the best we’d ever had.<br /><br />The starters and mains were fantastic, but the tarte tartin was the star of the show. <br /><br />The only suggestion I’d have would be to serve the venison on a lighter coloured plate so the colours would stand out a wee bit more.

Enjoyed the bread but that's all. The fish cake was odd. The "Queenie" scallops were not what I expected. The pork was good , the raw cauliflower didn't go with the dish. Runner beans were stringy and not edible. The duck and potato were cold. Very disappointing. The owner has now responded. He seems to think we came determined not to like his food. That is totally untrue. My comments are how I felt. I have been to many restaurants and most I have enjoyed. I have made for comments, the beans were stringy, other people also made the same comment! The main was barely warm and not hot as it should. My wife did make a comment to waitress about the lobster. She obviously did not pass on the comment!! I only commented on the food I had. I think owner should apologies for his unjust comments. we left disappointed and hungry. An now annoyed at his comments. He cannot argue with facts I stated. Shame.... One other point of all the other restaurants I have given reviews have an average of 4.8 stars. I give what they deserve.
