The Med in Thanet

Lovely food, great value - would recommend the prawn sandwich as it comes with chips and salad. Chips are really crispy!!!!

Decent food and lovely customer service! Definitely good to go to when you need a quick bite 😁

Great little place right in the older part of town. Friendly staff and very nice food. Would return 👍

I went to The Med in Margate looking forward to a relaxed afternoon with some Mediterranean-inspired dishes. I ordered a couple of pizzas and prawns, and while the pizzas were overly oily, I had high hopes for the prawns. Unfortunately, that was a huge mistake. Not long after my meal, I felt queasy. My stomach grew more unsettled as the night went on, and by midnight, I was fighting waves of nausea. After that, I spent the night in the bathroom, both throwing up and dealing with some seriously unpleasant stomach issues. I suspect it was the prawns that pushed things over the edge; they tasted a bit off but didn’t seem worrying enough at the time. This was hands-down one of my worst dining experiences. I’m hoping this was a one-off incident, but if you’re thinking of ordering the seafood here, you might want to think twice.

Gal serving was lovely, but the food wasn't anything special. Also there was a thick, strong smell of oil in the air whilst eating that was quite unpleasant.

lovely coffee and very reasonably priced.

Good coffee with lovely people. Will return for a breakfast 😁

Delicious food, great portion sizes as well as attentive and friendly staff.

Came across this fabulous place Welcomed in by Yasmin, who made the experience of dining so much better, recommending food options, patient with orders and so welcoming. Food was so fabulous. Yasmin made our experience so worth the visit , we will be back

Really, really lovely team and service! Thank you

Small, cosy cafe with good food, super friendly and allow dogs. What more could you ask for

Lovely place close to the beach and the old town. Great choice on the menu at reasonable prices. Really friendly service and atmosphere.

Yasmin was frantic foot ware something to be desired lol 😂 Great food friendly service

Lovely lunch with friendly staff! Next time we’ll definitely give the Sunday Roasts a try

I've visited for a leisurely late breakfast twice recently after walking my dog on the beach. Both experiences have been positive. Clean premises, friendly staff, prompt service and freshly cooked food. A cooked breakfast, sourdough toast and an excellent cup of coffee for just over £10. Dogs welcomed with a biscuit and a bowl of water. I'll certainly be back.

My partner and I popped in to The Med for coffee and cake. Real bargain at £4.95 during the week. Eleanor was very welcoming and explained the specials on the menu and told us of other meals that are available. The coffee and the cakes were both delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting on a rainy day. Would highly recommend

Lovely little place on the seafront, not too busy today but I can imagine during the summer it is rammed. Very impressed with the range of gluten free options available. There was plenty of choice and the pizza and pasta dishes could be done GF too. Vegan and veggie options were listed as well but I didn’t look at them in detail. My husband was impressed with how spicy the chilli was. Will definitely come back again.

Tasty food, great service and a good location. An absolute gem.

Sammy was very nice and I would definitely recommend the med it is the best restaurant I have been to in Margate thank you so much xx

If you want a breakfast with a difference try the scrambled egg and chorizo ... spot on and excellent service. Ideal place to park my motorbike and chill out with tasty grub

I went here yesterday, as a coeliac I'm always happy to see it say gluten free on the menu. The first thing I did when we arrived was to tell the waitress I cannot have gluten, she informed me that they do gluten free pizzas and quesadilla so I asked for a chicken and chorizo gluten free quesadilla, when it arrived I checked again that it was gluten free, she confirmed it was so I confidently tucked in. After a few mouthfuls the waitress comes over to inform me that it is fact not Gluten free as she accidentally hadnt put it through as Gluten free, knowing how sick I get I was terrified and headed straight to the toliet to make myself sick unfortunately despite this I was still very unwell being physically sick for hours and feeling like my body was shutting down. Today I still feel unwell and have a terrible headache. This is totally unacceptable, they could kill someone. I'm always worried about eating out and places like this are the reason why.

We stopped here for lunch randomly whilst we were in garage this is a nice little cafe and restaurant that offers good food, good portions, and at a good price. Staff and freindly and there is an optionnto site in an ourside sinin area on a sunny day. The only letdown being the salt beef was not ready at the time of our visit (the fishfinger had instead sandwich was brilliant), but we will definitely be visiting here again on our next visit.

Lunchtime pizza and children’s pasta both excellent. Friendly and quick service. And it’s in a nice spot with lots of outdoor tables.

Great family meal and brilliant service - Abi really looked after our two year old, and even changed the restaurant music to put on a kids playlist! Would recommend 🙂

Waiters show you to a seat with a lovely seafront view , food and coffee arrives very quickly, food is superb quality and the coffee is great too. Very nice place to have breakfast and excellent value

When the weather is good this place has a fantastic out door eating space, great if you have kids and you need a bit of room. Service was good, seen to the table quickly, very attentive and polite and gave recommendations when asked. A young team but operating beyond their years. Food was pretty basic to be honest, that said it was nice and the portions were big, so after a long day walking around I was grateful for the calories and none of us had any complaint. Price was reasonable given the seating avaliable and the portion sizes. Would recommend to others for a brunch,lunch or early dinner whilst the sun's still out.

The setting is great, alongside the beach and great atmosphere with choice of outdoor seating. The menu looked great. However really disappointed with our food, not at all worth the money and poor standard. Good was served like warm. The batter on the fish was soggy. Chips pretty poor. The fish bowl was really disappointing, felt it was similar quality/ taste to the prawns and squid you get in the freezer counter at the supermarket. No kids menu but offered a few dishes that could be child sized. 2 fish fingers, chips and beans £6 - fish fingers were like the frozen basic supermarket kind. Bolognese was delicious, a huge portion, £7 for my 4 year old. Given it was a custom request, felt it could have been smaller and cheaper. Would not return or recommend.

Yasmin and Abigail both great! Thank you!

They were fantastic. We had a table of 9, and they were brilliant with the kids. The food was good. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Had some delicious pizzas here at the beginning of August. Kids loves it too

Lovely friendly helpful staff Clean toilets Delicious iced chai lattes Fab music and lovely sun terrace to sit out by the beach!

We had a great family meal and few drinks at the Med in Margate. We were strolling through for a decent place on a weekend and decided to go here. We ordered number of things including pizza, flatbread, fish and chips, etc. and few beers for the order. The food was spot on, well seasoned and served nice and hot. The drinks were also served chilled, I really enjoyed them while sitting out in the sun. Biggest thanks to their staff members. They ensured that guests felt welcomed and were paying right attention to the needs of all the tables. I would definitely go there if I visit Margate again. All the best guys.

Just had a lovely juicy burger here, staff couldn't do enough to make it good visit, even winding down the awning outside as the sun moved round. If I am ever this way again I will be back

eleanor was very attentive and helpful definitely come again

While my friends enjoyed their quesadillas my orzoo pasta salad was poor and unimaginative. Slightly improved when I asked and got a bottle of balsamic dressing. The chef only needs to try it him/herself to see how dull and bland it is. Could so easily be improved.

Great service. Eleanor was very efficient and friendly and even gave our dog a bowl of water and a few doggie treats! 10 out of 10.

Had a wonderful dinner at this friendly place. The fish was nice and soft and the pizza was so delicious and fresh. Great service, thank you Yasmin. Looking forward to seeing you again next year. 🤗

Lovely restaurant and outside eating area with a sea view. Service was fantastic! Really couldn’t have done enough for us. Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely breakfast this morning. We were a group of 9 of various ages and a dog. Staff were really accommodating, esp with our 2 year old and we sat outside in the sunshine. Food was a big hit with everyone. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Lovely food and atmosphere, was served by Eleanor, lovely servi e would definitely recommend 👌

2 waitresses served us, a group of 14, with smiles, very good will and efficency. The food and drinks were really good, and we ha a very very good evening watching the sunset, the children playing outside and enjoying the food. Highly recomemding this local freindly authentic Margate special place.

Comfortable, tasty, really good serv

Jasmine at The Med in Margate provided exceptional service, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor made our visit truly enjoyable. Highly recommend! Amazing place by the beach

great atmosphere and location on a cobbled square with an open view. The food was reasonable priced and the staff members were extremely friendly :)

Nice restaurant with outdoor tables on the sea front good food and excellent service from Eleanor

Brilliant salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast, comfortable seating right by the sea with ample shade. Friendly, efficient staff (go Tom :) ) reasonably priced

Would come here again, quick and friendly service from Tom the waiter and tasty food

Stopped here for coffee, and one toddler breakfast. Amazing service from Yasmin, will definitely come back soon

Cienna was lovely ,warm and welcoming and Excellent costumes service.

On arrival eating outside in the warm sunshine on the cobbled stones and we were Welcomed with a warm smile from jasmine and the cafe over looks the ocean, atmosphere was buzzy and background music was at the right level and not to loud, food was told that it’s all locally sourced within a couple of miles, and they use Hienz baked beans and Heinz catchup which if you like you’re full English like us it’s just the little touch, anyways I recommend The Med cafe margate

Very tasty breakfast so we went back again the following day.

The med restaurant is a really lovely place to eat,food was fabulous and the staff were really welcoming,will definitely go there again.😊

Food was great as was the service

Really good food, the fish and chips was the best I’ve had in Margate for a long time, the staff were very friendly and quick, it’s a great atmosphere being so close to the beach and in the heart of Margate. Sammy the manager gave us a great experience, we will definitely be back!

Great spot in Margate for food and drinks and the service was exceptional. Yasmine, Abbie and Tom were all very friendly and attentive.

Dog friendly, staff amazing and neck oil on tap!

Had an excellent experience yesterday at the med where I went for lunch with my family . The food was exceptional and the service received from staff was outstanding We were served by Yasmin who went above and beyond to give us an unforgettable experience which she did. Looking forward to returning in the very near future great atmosphere great food.

An absolute must place to visit when in Margate! Visited for a beautiful cooked breakfast and served by the lovely vivacious Jasmine who was an absolute star waitress really chatty and accommodating. We had a Lovely virgin Mary drink and veggie breakfast and this place gives you enough butter for your toast ( most important ) 😆. Will definitely return again .

Really great service particularly Tom, Yasmine and Abby so friendly

Amazing service and drinks, Tom was an excellent host. Would recommend this place any day!

Amazing food, great position to see the sunset. Tom went over and above

Tom was so attentive, a credit to hospitality in Margate

Nice food, love the fish and chips, was the best I've had for a long while.

Such lovely staff and exactly what we needed for a sunny day before our Gig

Lovely spot, perfect food and excellent service. Much gratitude to waitress Yasmin who couldn't have been more welcoming.

Excellent Italian coffee, friendly, efficient service and my spinach and mushroom quesadilla was delicious, can highly recommend

Had breakfast at the Med this morning and it was fabulous. Food was delicious. Had a couple of fussy eaters with us and both of them had clear plates at the end which is unheard of. Service was great. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic food. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole visit. Can highly recommend

Sorry I think my pocket just just you a 3 star rating, this past it to correct that all fives. Great breakfast exactly what we where looking for and very helpful staff.

Food and drinks was really good, amazing service from smiling Yasmin 😁

Popped in for the first time to try something different for linch and really glad we did. I had the Quesadilla with chicken and chorizo which was lovely and very well done, my wife had the cajun chicken and chips we she loved and my daughter had the Mac n squeeze with bacon on top. Must say my daughter is a bit of a connoisseur so for her to finished it and say it was lovely is definitely good. Will definitely be heading back to try more of their dishes.

Lovely atmosphere. We were really looked after and so were our 2 dogs. Great food. Would really recommend!

Just delicious freshly cut and deep fried Chips. Honestly I'm not big on chips but couldn't resist. Thank you chef. Excellent service. Always smiling. Will see you again guys. Thank you! ❤️

First time, live in westgate and just come for a walk. All the food was nice and the beer 👏

We visited this restaurant at lunchtime on Sunday and as there were no available tables outside we sat inside the small restaurant. We were the only four people in the restaurant and had to ask to see menus, despite several waitresses standing around. When a waitress finally came over she apologised that she could only find one menu, however, they did manage to find another one shortly afterwards. Our drinks were served quite quickly, but after about 30 minutes, the waitress asked us if everything was ok, and my husband replied that it would be once we got our food. When our food still hadn't arrived after 45 minutes, I asked the three waitresses standing there how much longer the food would be. After a discussion with the person in the kitchen, we were told in a very blasé manner that our order hadn't gone through, no apology. We weren't happy so we got up and said forget the meals, we'll just pay for our drinks, and with that the three waitresses ignored us and walked outside. We stood there for what seemed like a long time but was probably only a few minutes before one came back in and I asked to pay. We really shouldn't have paid for the drinks, but we're not that type of people. I expressed my disgust that several waitresses saw us sitting there and no one thought to check on our meals, especially after my husband told one that we'd be better once we got our food. I understand that these things happen in a busy restaurant, but what made this worse was their blasé attitude - this is no way to run a business!

Friendly staff. Nothing too much trouble. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and will definitely return

Looking for a healthy takeaway option. Friendly atmosphere and made me up a very generous portion of hummus and flatbread with a side salad to take away.

We dropped in for a drink and a bite to eat after arriving in Margate pat midday by train. We were given a nice warm welcome. Jasmine went out of her way to make us welcome and to meet our needs. We sat outside in the sun. A great start for our short break.

Great sea front restaurant. Nice food, nice staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Great pace me and my girlfriend went for the tapas options and it really didn't disappoint. Everything was cooked to perfection brilliant service staff all very friendly and definitely would recommend going again. See you all again soon.

Have had two delicious meals here, served up by Yasmine. Great service, lovely atmosphere and super dog friendly. Highly recommend
