The London & Paris Restaurant in Shepway

Excellent lunch. Nice greeting from staff on arrival. Service was very good and the food was stunning. Lovely atmosphere. Not cheap but a step above most other restaurants in town. Well worth the price.

Not sure where you would place the style of the food in this restaurant, not British or Parisian, but perhaps in the Mediterranean closer to Morocco, strong seasoning and flavours. King Scallops (menu description) served with Chorizo & Capers, small scallops over seasoned in their shell, Fish Soup good flavour with pieces of fish, Monkfish & Mussels very well seasoned, white bean sauce and Calvanero excellent, Cod & Chorizo ample portion of Cod, small wine list, lack lustre front of house

We came here for Lunch on a Sunday. The food is the best we have had. Delicious fresh fish, beautifully presented, along with fantastic friendly service and a warm inviting interior overlooking the harbour. Thank you, this is my favourite place so far.

First time dining here and it won't be the last. Fabulous fish cooked to perfection and paired with interesting and unusual things. Service was a little bit fast but that is our only minor criticism. Eat here - it is far superior to the other fish place near the harbour. Far...

The London and Paris restaurant, in an evocative 1850s building by the harbour, has been open for a few months and this was our first visit. It definitely won't be the last! This is classy, inventive cooking, with some genuinely inspired moments. My smoked burrata starter and seafood broth main course, in particular, were standouts, beautifully conceived and executed. My husband, who had fish and chips, was enthused by the quality of the fish and the unusual batter, which contained beer and vodka (sounds unlikely, but it worked!) There are some nice small touches, as well, like the sourdough with seaweed butter brought to the table on arrival. The wine list is enticing, with some interesting and unobvious Italian choices by the bottle, and a decent selection of wines by the glass or carafe. The restaurant was pretty empty when we were there, but we've seen it packed; it's definitely advisable to book. On today's evidence, I would place it among Folkestone's best restaurants, on a par with Rocksalt and second only to the magnificent Restaurant MS.

What a find! We stumbled up this great restaurant by chance and will be coming back for sure. Great food, generous portions and attentive, very welcoming service. We loved it. So lovely to have serious food cooked with attention to detail and finesse. Delightful!

We had an amazing Four course meal at a very reasonable price. My Son his partner and my wife. We had some cocktails then oysters smoked prawns scallops mackerel pate hake gurnard smoked fish soup and some amazing puddings.plus a really nice bottle of white Rioja.

AMAZING!!!! The interior design is stunning, we wanted to take it home, we were transported to chic Paris immediately! The kitchen is to die for and hub wanted to take that home too. The servers were welcoming & friendly and knew their stuff. The menu looked good but the food surpassed it's description by miles. So many restaurants talk their food up and often it is a disappointment. When we found out what was planned for the future, I said, "I do hope they give Rock Salt a run for their money", well tick that box about 5 times!!! We had a large vodka, soda, lager, a bottle of wine, 5 courses between us, 2 amanacs and the bill was £100. We had a complimentary bread and seaweed butter, yum. I had the HUGE smoked prawns x 5, then the seabass with a croquette of beef, pave potatoes, rainbow chard and a sauce. It was incredible. Hub had mackrell pate then the moules in a gorgeous sauce which we didn't know what it was but it had lovage in it. I had the ganache with homemade honeycomb for pud. I never eat a pudding!! Hub said it was gorgeous too. The whole experience was amazing. We regularly go to their other restaurants but this is the jewel in the crown.

It is an old Victorian Hotel / Restaurant that has been sympathetically renovated to provide a charming set for the excellent food that they serve. Views out of the window are of the inner harbour which is why we booked lunch. Firstly we shared a starter of smoked jumbo prawns - 5 served cold with a delightful dip and hot bread. My wife had muscles in cider and cream and sapphire and capers and loved it. I had a substantial slab of hake on a Romesco sauce and kale which was gorgeous. The service was excellent and the prices were consistent with other restaurants in town despite being of obvious higher echelon.

So pleased to have found this restaurant and can’t wait to return. The standard of food was outstanding . We had mackerel pate, fish bisque, chicken with charred leeks, halibut with mussels, morels and kale , and chocolate orange fondant. Every dish was exceptionally good. We loved the decor and our waitress Chloe1 was so helpful. Our new favourite in Folkestone

superb chef, knows his flavours, fish soup to die for... a humble butternut squash dish amazing... will be back just for that....

Walked in without any prior knowledge /recommendations of the restaurant, and what a find. Wasn’t expecting such a high standard of local produce/wines in Folkestone. Front of house staff friendly and knowledgable. Would highly recommend and will certainly be returning.

This restaurant is superb. The quality of the food and cooking is excellent. We all agreed it was the best meal we had eaten this year. The Peach notes from the Terlingham Bacchus complemented the scallops and fish main courses. I cannot speak highly enough about this restaurant. What a find. What a gem.

We had an amazing evening here with friends. Great food, wonderful atmosphere and the transformation of the site is phenomenal. From starters to seafood to veggies to sides dishes the food was delicious. Modern cooking that is easy-going and elegant at the same time Service was professional and friendly. We though that the whole experience was value for money, and will be back. I didn't manage to capture all the dishes, I know I missed my Shellfish Broth which was full of flavour, with a balance of the sweet seafood, smokiness and spiciness.

Visited for a family birthday love the restaurants in this group. Arrived for our reservation and were slightly ignored before being greeted. Table was a strange wide semicircle which meant I was a long way from my wife. Decor nice but I thought the industrial spotlights in the room were incongruous. Ordered and was given some free bread which was nice. Starters arrived fairly quickly but they were cold assemblies. We then waited quite a long time for the mains too long really and had to wait longer for the jus for my fish dish and the fries for another dish. The food was really nice perfectly cooked and delicous although nobody asked if we were happy. Pudding menus were provided luckily we didn't want one as nobody came to ask. Felt they were short staffed on the night. It is a pretty noisy venue so not for us. Harbour Inn next time

1st time at this restaurant and not disappointed. Best mussels ever. We had a 3 course lunch with coffee and the food was amazing. Will definitely return soon ..... 100% would recommend for foodies!

A delightful experience! The food is just amazing and the service is first class, lovely surroundings, great location with views over the harbour, spotlessly clean and great value. Oh and the coffee is just perfect.

we went for Sunday lunch. The starters were excellent as were the main courses albeit a very small menu (3 choices (roast, mussels or vegetarian). Service was great. Roast striploin fine except for the seemingly standard issue gigantic Yorkshire pudding which seem to be offered...

We had a fabulous dinner at The London & Paris last night with a couple of friends & we are all, still talking about it this morning. The front of house team looked after us so well, with the perfect level of attentiveness, coupled with...

Recently opened restaurant. Menu quite varied with lots of fish dishes. However my brother had a tomato and fennel salad but it was mainly tomatoes with a few stands of fennel which was disappointing. The same for the chicken with girofles very little girofles and...
