Marc-Pierre's Kitchen in Thanet

We booked this restaurant for our wedding anniversary meal, swayed by a lot the positive reviews here. I don't know if that set my expectations too high but we left slightly disappointed. The location is excellent and staff were friendly and welcoming. However, the young girl who served us, whilst friendly and attentive was unable to answer basic questions about the dishes such as "Is that served with vegetables or do we need to order sides"? The answer was "I don't really know. I think the chef throws some vegetables in it, so you might be alright". This doesn't fill the diner with confidence when ordering. The food was fine, though I expected a classic coq au vin and mine had some spice in through chillies which I wasn't expecting. It was well cooked and presented. Overall, we enjoyed the food, but felt it was expensive

We had 14 people for a 60th Birthday and Marc pulled out all the stops. Our 3 course lunch was amazing. The food utterly delicious and everyone including the vegetarians were extremely impressed and happy. We have been coming here since it first opened and definitely rate this as being by far the best restaurant in Ramsgate.

We had an amazing 60th Birthday lunch and Marc pulled out all the stops. The innovative 3 course meal had everyone aaahing & oooing throughout it was utterly perfect. This definitely is the best restaurant in Ramsgate! An absolute must.

We just left there,the food is not bad ,But the menu portions are small like the size of starter,We thought we just having a starter only😅we are still starving! Also so cold inside no heating!

Dropped in for lunch after walking from Margate - a lovely trip in itself. The quality of the food was really great. My wife had a French onion soup better than any she'd tasted before followed by local mackerel on horseradish. I had the cockle popcorn and then local hake Both were perfect, really tasty and in the case of the hake fresh and perfectly cooked. A glass of the recommended Kent chardonnay went well with the food. My wife finished with the lemon and lime tart made to her own recipe by the newer/chef's mother. It was "citrusy creamily fantastic" according to my wife. We didnt expect such high quality food but we certainly got it.

We booked dinner for 6 of us to celebrate a 60th and 70th birthdays. We had a great experience, both food and ambience were wonderful. We were treated like special guests. It was a lovely evening and I cannot recommend the place and the people highly enough.

Visted Marc pierre tonight. Had a 3 course meal as did 2 other tables tonight. However as soon as a table for 6 women arrived the owner visited their table twice thus making the other tables visit seem underwhelming. Disappointed as up to this point couldn't fault the food/service. Just treat people equally it's not alot to all for....

Our visit was excellent I had steak and the salad was the best I have ever had. So many ingredients and flavours including couscous. My steak was cooked to perfection how I like it. Chips were yummy. My husband had fresh anchovies for starter and the best lobster he has ever had. Desert was key line pie whaich was delicious. We cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Worth a visit and a sea view adds to the atmosphere.

Went there for lunch with an friend and the food was amazing. I had the halibut, I asked for chips instead of couscous and everything was perfect! Lovely atmosphere and great service! Will definitely be going there again!

Fantastic food again for all of us. Service was exceptional and chef was very nice and nothing was too much trouble. Will defo be going back soon

Following an evening at this restaurant where you would expect good service and food was totally in utter shock at what met us . Firstly the owner / chef was shouting at the young female staff infront of the diners , next complaining loudly about customers it was shocking . Then claim it’s all gluten free which I gave an allergy and clearly wasn’t gluten free . No vegetables at all on the menu . My main arrived with a huge lump of mash and under cooked fish which was so bittter . I couldn’t eat it . I didn’t ask for mash or nor was it even N option . . My husband has 30 years hospitality manger experience in 5 star London hotels and he was not impressed by the abusive behaviour we then encountered . The owner screaming at us throwing u cooked fish on the table . Hostile to all involved . And seeing other complaints it’s worrying how abusive he is to women on trip advisor too . My poor husband was so disgusted as I was . I had to leave for my safety as I’ve never had this from any male and certainly not in a restaurant. … those poor young girls as waitresses were in such a horrible state with him shouting at them . Fortunately we found a beautiful high end fish restaurant where they rectified his mess . Read all his reviews please .

Prawn Gambas in chilli and garlic was good however main course of halibut fell short. As my wife suffered from gluten asked what it came with and we were told Cous cous. Well that’s glutinous so we asked for vegetables and were told we don’t do them. We were told chips. The halibut came out my wife saw a sauce which was suspect and sent it back. On complaining the owner chef came out and intimidated us at the table refused to take it off the bill despite not eaten it and then shouted to his staff to get ready to call the police. He also shouted at his staff to do things and was quite rude. I have done many reviews but after 300 this is the worst display of hospitality I have ever had. Also when you have bread as a starter you need more than a slither of butter and had to ask three times for more.

Had an amazing meal here last night. We arrived quite early and they let us to our table for drinks first. The staff were very friendly and attentive and even helped show us how to get into our crab! Lovely atmosphere and the food was fantastic. If we were local, we would definitely be coming back soon! Recommend the cockle popcorn, yum!

In over 300 reviews, 30 years in hospitality related businesses and this has to be the rudest establishment I have ever been in to. Whilst waiting for drinks we heard the owner chef shouting at his staff to go do what he wanted them to do. You don’t treat staff like that in front of customers. Secondly when my wife received her dish she tasted the so called lemon butter which tasted like gravy and it had mash when she didn’t ask for it or was told it was there. She tried one bite and sent it back. The chef came out and was in my wife’s face saying what wrong with it. After a disagreement with the chef he made his way back to kitchen whilst saying get ready to call the police as my wife asked for it to be taken off the bill. He refused and wanted to call the police. So regardless of the starter and whatever came out, after waiting nearly two years to get in to this restaurant it was a terrible experience

On arrival to the restaurant I was concerned that no waitress knew the ingredients of the food . So that was my first concern . I’ve only ever eaten fish and I can honestly say this was the worst dining experience in my life . The chef was speaking so badly to his staff in public . Then cresting in public about double bookings . It really was uncomfortable. My main took an hour and half to arrive and it really was awful and bitter . It was so bad I called the waitress over to take it away . The chef stormed out bullying me and being very aggressive which I’ve never seen before . We eat at very high end restaurants and as he charges high prices in a sea side town I expect a certain standard . It was so bad . Please be careful.

Wonderful seafood restaurant! Had the Crab and it was amazing, service was great with staff available all the time. It’s a small restaurant so make sure to book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Great local lobster lunch, friendly staff. The menu is gluten free and nut free (the only gluten was a bread basket with a GF alternative). Really lovely.

A unique place. You are required to wait, but count it as nothing when the food arrives. Freshest, delicious seafood, excellently prepared and presented. Great views and friendly staff.

Lovely restaurant overlooking the harbour, with outside seating. Lots of fresh and local fish and seafood options. Good service and great food. They also have good wine and beer lists, which include Kentish wines and beers.

The manager or head chef seems to shout at his employees a lot. It looks as if they dont even get a break or are given the opportunity to even drink water? The food and service was beautiful but just very concerned for the workers.

The food was amazing, all the people who were working were so polite and amazing throughout the service. Me and my husband ordered a whole lobster and it was divine, along with the homemade chips. Highly recommend coming here. Will definitely be seeing them again!

This was the perfect place to go for a lunch and have fresh seafood! The staff were extremely friendly, the food was great flavour, beautiful presentation and fulfilling, the view when sitting there was absolutely stunning and overall atmosphere really made you feel you’re on a relaxing holiday near the seaside. I highly recommend this place!

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening tonight 10/07/2024. Wonderful food, fantastic service, a wonderful atmosphere, amazing views. Thank you Chef and staff, 5 Stars

My wife and I had walked past this restaurant dozens of times, always said "we must try this one day." Last night we did. A very friendly welcome from the staff, a great selection on food and drinks menus. We both chose Bass fillet a la Ramsgate, with triple cooked chips and samphire salad. Bursting with taste. Ably looked after by Abbie, a credit to the business. A nice touch was the owner/ chef coming out to us and asking how the meal was. Highest recommend from us.

Wow what a beautiful restaurant! Marc and the waitresses couldnt do enough for our table and everything was PERFECT NEW FAVOURITE RESTAURANT

I Had the BEST meal, service was brilliant, food amazing 🤩 made my dog Max welcome, wonderful evening, thank you. What a treat in find a restaurant in Thanet with great food AND great service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Me and my daughter we recently discovered this gem. The food is honestly incredible. So delicious. Great value. Amazing & friendly service. All the little touches have been thought through. I can’t wait to return to it. Friendly staff and super nice owner.

I went to Marc-Pierre's Kitchen, in Ramsgate, for the 1st time today. Food was fantastic, staff were friendly and attentive, and there was a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. I will definitely return.

Ideal meal, beautifully presented and freshly cooked and always delicious. Warm welcome and attentive staff. Few better restaurants in South East Kent. Thank you Marc-Pierre, Anastasia and your lovely staff.

Booked this restaurant after looking at the reviews as a massive seafood fan. Ordered the 'dressed crab ' special £17.95 as a starter . This turned up as a wet paste type dish barely tasting of crab on a lettuce leaf . When my plate was collected I complained to the waitress .She came back and told me the chef had said that previous customers had complained the dish was too 'crabby' ......beggars belief! The main course of sea bass was nice , but unimaginativly layed over a portion of chips . I sadly deducted the 10% service charge which might have impacted the waitress , but in such a small establishment it was a shame that the chef didn't have the moment to address the issues.

Amazing food and service. As a celiac it is such a refreshing change to have a full menu to choose from as the restaurant is gluten free. Shame on other restaurants as clearly it can be done and done very well. My friend and I both had the large platter calamari with salad and chips and it was delicious - super tender calamari and the chips were exceptional. The wine list was also very good with choices for all budgets. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. We will most definitely be back!

Very small restaurant with great food. Very tasty seafood served with a lot samphire and lettuce.

It's delicious. All is perfect: wine, apple juice, cockle popcorn, Gambas, watermelon salad, chips, dressed crab, calamari, key lime pie, ice cream scoop.

Perfect. I would strongly recommend this place! It was perfect, I highly recommend this place!

Start to finish top top experience 👌 👏

Потрясающее место! Еда- просто восхитительна! Устрицы - невероятно вкусные, наисвежайшие. Лобстер - "пальчики оближешь"...даже специальные фартуки есть. Мы с подругой в восторге от этого места: очень вкусная кухня, изысканная подача блюд, отличный сервис, дружелюбное и приветливое общение владельцев заведения (кстати: очень приятная семейная пара), прекрасный вид на порт, освежающий морской бриз и легкая ненавязчивая музыка... В общем понравилось все! Время пролетело незаметно, очень вкусно и в удовольствии. Этот ресторан теперь в моем списке любимых мест и планирую посетить в следующую поездку в Англию.

The food was amazing, location by the sea and very attentive staff. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be back

The most amazing evening. The food, service and view were out of this world. One of the best meals have ever had.

Food was fresh and delicious, service was great and friendly, and Marc was very responsive and helped me book our table over email, a few days before. My husband and I enjoyed our dinner during our Good Friday/Easter long weekend visit to Ramsgate. Highly recommend if you're visiting the area.

We absolutely loved our lunch at Marc’s. Service was stellar - so personable. Made us feel very special. Gorgeous seafood.

My wife and I had an excellent meal here for our anniversary. Locally sourced ingredients and a choice of Kentish wines was a welcome sight on the menu. I'm not usually a fish eater but took a chance on the halibut and was very happy with my choice. All three courses were thoroughly enjoyed. A relaxed and welcoming atmosphere was much appreciated and helped top the evening off. We'll almost certainly be back again when next in the area.

a review thats not needed, as this place speaks for itself. Iam not one for words, but this was hands down the best tasting and best experience with food I've ever had!!! The owner is now set in stone as my favorite chief of all time, hands down. Legend. Just wish I had time for dessert.

The food here is special, I would highly recommend anyone who visits Ramsgate to visit. The venison burger was sensational, definitely the best burger I have ever tried. 10/10 dose not do it justice. The staff are super friendly and amazing people. The view of the harbour is picturesque. Definitely a 5* experience.

Excellent fish restaurant, local fish superbly cooked

The food is really amazing. So fresh, simmos and delicious. Lovely service, really makes it a family environment. Beautiful views too.

Lovely friendly staff who were very helpful after our accommodation booking was cancelled. Food was excellent with really tender squid and tasty cockles. Fish main courses were very tasty and well presented.

Calamari and cockles in particular were out of this world. The staff were so friendly and helpful we felt like we were part of the family. Really impressed and will be starring this to go again.

Considering the quality and Freshness of the Fish the prices are very reasonable. Attentive but not overbearing service and an excellent Kentish Wine list. Will definitely be returning soon.

Visited this restaurant Friday the 2nd February after seeing photos and views online was very disappointed , The starters were ok We had 2 calamari and the nibbles Menu the cockles popcorn Both the dishes were bulked out with salad and not much calamari or cockles. Mains were sea bass and I had The halibut , although ok was not much fish the bulk of the meal being potato Under the fish. I have to agree with stephine H review regarding the chips very soggy and you could taste the fat they were cooked in also over seasoned With salt after the mains we couldn’t face a sweet and asked for the bill We won’t be returning.

Amazing food and very helpful staff. Lovely and clean and would highly recommend to anybody in the area. 5 stars and whilst the area has nice food, it is nearly impossible to top this establishment.

Came with my mum and family for the Sunday roast. Was treated like vips and the dogs were well looked after too. Food was lovely and staff very good

Went here for the Sunday lunch with my fiancée and her family on a visit to Kent. Food was really good and the staff were really friendly. We had 2 dogs with us and they were treated with biscuits and even some scraps of meat. Would definitely recommend and will be going back next time we are back in kent

Went here with family on my daughter’s recommendation. The food was amazing, we had the Sunday roast which was delicious. The staff and chef were very accommodating and friendly and my parents loved that they made the dogs very welcome even bringing them out a bowl of meat and some bonus biscuits. Looking forward to going back to try the main menu

As usual, fabulous lunch at Marc-Pierre's Kitchen, the local fish from Folkestone had not yet arrived so Marc kindly constructed an individual dish for each of us - fillet steak and sirloin steak with amazing sauces and sides. This restaurant is situated below the yacht club at Ramsgate and has lovely views across the harbour to France and around the coast to Deal pier We laughed over a recent experience at The Savoy with Gordon Ramsey's dismal offering and wondered if Gordon needed the help of a younger Marc-Pierre ! Marc always goes out of his way to accomodate different tastes/allergies etc

Can't fault the place, staff were friendly & the food was fantastic, worth every penny!!! Even came out to see if the wife's fillet steak was cooked properly, nice touch! Top Chef!!!!

Very friendly staff, really tasty food. Perfect halibut and lovely lobster. Looking forward to my return!

Visited here for the first time after hearing a lot of good things. Didn't disapoint! Very fresh exciting menu, personaly I opted for fish Halibut as not many good fish restaurants around and it was the best fish I have ever tasted, cooked to perfection 😋 Staff are very attentive and we had a great time. Very reasonable priced for the quality of food.

Delicious meal, absolutely perfect bass and the most delicious chips, atmosphere warm and welcoming and all the staff are cheerful and smiling. Thank you once again Marc-Pierre.

THE best restaurant in Ramsgate - price is fine for great food, wonderful staff and atmosphere. Hetty (and to a lesser extent, Marc lol!) do amazing things in the kitchen, you have to try it!

Absolutely amazing food and excellent staff! Food was delicious and the chefs were ever so welcoming. Came with my sister and our friends, all of us agreed best place we’ve eaten at in kent. Thank you

Beautiful Atmosphere and the staff were very accommodating. Recommend highly for a lovely evening out.

absolutely superb , the halibut was definitely the best piece of fish iv ever had , and wonderfully presented. This is definitely where home cooking meets michelin stars!!

exceptional service and quality food I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Really nice food, service was great. Had the Sunday roast you gotta try it if you haven’t XD

Weekend away with my fiancée.booked Marc Pierre’s kitchen for the Friday evening,could not fault anything at all.food was amazing and lovely bottle of red wine too.staff was excellent,highly recommend this restaurant.spot on

I’ve been multiple times but this occasion was with my cousins who requested a return visit. The food was exceptional as always and we always feel part of the family with the friendly service. They even tried food out of their comfort zone so we’ll done Marc

Excellent small restaurant with country French cooking and a great sea view. Indoors and outside dining. Chef/owner is very friendly.

some friends and i came here for dinner a few nights ago, although there was quite a few of us and rather last minute the staff were able to make this evening on of the best nights of our holiday! the girls who served us...

Not awe inspiring at first and a little underwhelming, but the fish they served was as good as it gets and service was friendly and efficient. Not a dressy night out restaurant, but absolutely top class fish dishes. Small but good, would be my description....

Marco Pierre Dire! Dreadful owner. No apologies for the mistake in our booking. Tried to kick us off of our table 20 minutes before our booking ended although asking us if we wanted dessert and another bottle of then 10 minutes before kicking us out!. An experience that i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. The owner was very arrogant. Never again. Came up from London for this!!! Service taken off the bill 🤬🤬🤬 Unfortunately you haven't addressed the bigger issue - the fact that we're ask to vacate our table 20 minutes before our booking was scheduled to end. Who was the 14 year old girl? The only females in the restaurant were the ones serving us. I didn't think people of that age were allowed to serve alcohol? At no time were any staff abused by my male companion. An apology from you/your restaurant would have sufficed. Instead of this response which doesn't make you appear hospitable. How disappointing. What a shame

Wow, what can I say? Blown away by the food and friendly staff. Such a lovely place, will certainly go back. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this little gem! The food was delicious … homemade with quality chosen products. Creativity and diversity in our plates

Excellent food, fabulous view, welcoming and efficient staff. We chatted to a regular at the next table in his 80s who comes regularly from Wimbledon to lunch here! Loved everything about it.

Good fresh quality Cooked food, as a chef I’m particular about food the chef met my needs and expectations 😀 clean restaurant with 5* food hygiene rating will be back very soon 😀

Lunch was amazing,we had oysters to start ,FAB then the wife had monk fish in fruity sauce FAB then I had mackerel FAB all in all FABULOUS definitely a must when in ramsgate

Went to Ramsgate for the day and was looking for some fresh fish, this little restaurant really hit the spot. We had huge oysters to start followed by the grilled mackerel and monk fish in a fruity curry sauce, all absolutely delicious, just sorry we’re...

Had spotted this restaurant a couple of days earlier & made the effort to book a table which was worth doing. Not a huge place so with the cooler evenings it's worth being inside. A well chosen range of dishes designed to allow fish to...

As we hardly eating out nowadays it is very important for us to have a very special time, food and service wise. We went out for a walk and dinner with our daughter as a birthday treat for her and while in Broadstairs we were thinking as to where we shall eat. Now there’s plenty of great eateries in Broadstairs but we always thinking very fondly of Marc-Pierre’s Kitchen, decided to call them in the hope of getting a table for us. Lucky they were happy to accommodate us and after a brisk walk back to Ramsgate we had fabulous time with excellent food and service and to top it, a fantastic weather and a lovely view to enjoy too. Thank you for excepting us on a short notice and for looking after us so beautifully. Can’t wait to have some more of your delicious prawns dish, yummy 😋

Had amazing lunch here! Friendly service. Great sunny view of the harbour too. Reasonable prices for very fresh, delicious seafood cooked and presented with flair and care. Loved it

Fabulous! So good we went there twice. The food is superb and you can taste the passion of the chef, Marc, in every bite. It’s a great location too overlooking the harbour in Ramsgate. The staff are all lovely, attentive and hard working. All in...

Genuine local fish and seafood, dead fresh and well cooked. Lovely friendly enthusiastic team. If you haven’t had wild bass (most expensive restaurants setve farmed sea bass) then you need to come here. Also nice wine list featuring Kent vineyards. We’ll be back.

We came here specifically for a seafood lunch. We shared a calamari which was barely enough for one and £11.95! Main course was half a lobster and fries. Well the lobster was no bigger than a large prawn once out of its shell and the...

We enjoyed a really fabulous lunch today at Marc-Pierre’s kitchen. We started with super fresh calamari in a very light batter (nothing like the horrible rubbery stuff you have had at other restaurants) and three Colchester oysters. Then mains of moules, halibut and sea bass....

I would say, Average to good taste and surely overpriced.

Marc's food is always fabulous. The restaurant itself doesn't pretend to be a 'fancy' atmosphere that it isn't - it is, however, always genuine, quality food with great service and wonderful views. Lobster spaghetti is especially wonderful. Prices are high, but completely worth it. Marc...

The best steak ive ever eaten which is not bad considering its a seafood restaurant. The service was great and my friends said it was the best meal they have had in years. I will definitely be coming back again!

If I could give this an 10/10 I would. Ordered the entrecote steak & frites & honestly can't remember the last time I had a better steak! It's one of my favourite dishes to order when eating out, & I eat out a lot socially...

Trying to write this review is hard for me as they are still looking for words to describe how amazing the food here is. Me and my friends are still truly amazed at how great it was. I started out with the cockle popcorn witch...

Fantastic food and service was brilliant. A credit to the Chefs Mitch and Marc for delicious food. Staff recommended suitable wine for our lobster. Serving staff, Sienna, Leah and Nastiyo, were friendly, polite, attentive checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed....

Fabulous Food we had such a great time , Marc and his staff were friendly And the service was top Class . We ate there on a Thursday Lunch and went back Friday evening with family because the Food was so Good .

I came for my lunch this afternoon and had the lobster spaghetti and it was the best meal I have had in a long time. My friends who came with me were also satisfied with the halibut they had ordered, they said it was the...

Visited while on holiday as it was highly recommended. The food was really nice. We had a selection of the starters and small plates, all of which were lovely, followed by mains. 2 of us had the halibut which was incredible. Sadly the whole experience...
