To say this perfect evening spent at restaurant MS was solely down to the delicious food would be unjust. As soon as we were welcomed at the door by Chef we knew it was going to be an experience to treasure. My wife echoes a previous review in saying the seafood lasagne was the tastiest they had ever eaten. I would go further and say everything was amazing. This is a restaurant that is filled with enthusiasm and food passion. They go that little bit further than the rest and we will be back very soon!

We went for dinner for our anniversary and had the most fabulous meal. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming and make you feel so at home. The food was absolutely fantastic. The seafood lasagne was definitely one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten! And the value for money is ace. We had the 3 course dinner but you also get brought 3 extra small plates! We had to take our last course home on a box. Mark came and chatted to every table. The whole evening was great. We will definitely be back soon.

We had an incredible lunch experience at The Restaurant MS, not once but twice on Sunday! Both times, we enjoyed their Sunday Special menu, which is currently priced at just £38.50 per person. It includes 5 fantastic courses, and each one was absolutely exceptional. The quality of the food, the service, and the atmosphere made it such a memorable experience. It's hard to believe you can enjoy such a high-level dining for around £50-60 per person. Incredible value for money! We'll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an outstanding meal in Kent.

Another fabulous evening at this wonderful restaurant. Sarges seafood supper was absolutely sublime. We enjoyed every single mouthful.of the 8 course menu and we found the wine paring really complemented each dish perfectly.too. Mark is such an inventive and talented chef and his staff are friendly, and professional. We were made to feel ‘special’ Thank you all for a wonderful experience 😘. Looking forward to returning soon!

I can’t talk more highly of Marks cooking and the excellent style and relaxed polite efficient but above all friendly service you get at his Restaurant MS. Sargey’s seafood lasagne starter has such an excellent foam and sauce, it is sublime and my current favourite. I had the aged steak and parmigiano frites this time, and the reduction Madeira jus is such a great flavour. All such good value too for the fantastic quality

Just enjoyed whst I woukd call a “banging” lunch. Opted for the 7 course lunch menu which started off with what I can only describe as amazing honey focaccia with Markmite whipped butter. Followed by a couple of very tasty little tartlets. Foie gras , seafood lasagne, rump of lamb. All really tasty and rich. Service was great even though they were missing a couple of staff. Mr Sargent served us himself and had some banter with us. Relaxed atmosphere and nice decor. Highly recommend it. Well done and thanks to Mark and his team

What a great find this place was. Mark Sargeant certainly is a master of his trade. We had exquisite dishes as part of the tasting menu, the wine was very good and priced fairly I thought. The service was attentive, kind and informative. Mark himself explained several dishes at the table which I genuinely appreciated. He was very gracious and down to earth. We had lunch on a very quiet Wednesday in early August but the food was so good we were fully absorbed. Portion sizes for a tasting menu are generous so go in hungry. Thanks for a lovely lunch.

We have dined in Folkestone and the South East for many years and never before found this level of epicurean delight. We started with the new addition to the starter menu Prawn Cocktail, but believe me its as you have never tasted it before! the tangy sauce was to die for and the sustainable caviar was a perfect finishing touch. Main courses were lamb and steak too simple a description for such delicious and well constructed dishes. The meat was perfection, the plate composition original and in perfect harmony. We both finished with Panna Cotta which was topped with what looked like baby grapes suffused with a delicious alcohol. The restaurant can possibly give a more detailed description. Overall although the service, the cooking, the presentation are exceptional its the amazing tastes that will grab you, an original mix of flavours and textures that are a treat, one that we will be experiencing again soon. Well done Mark and the front of house staff. Exceptional!

My Bestest Brother from another Mother treated us to lunch at MS Brasserie. Everything was absolutely deliciously outstanding. Our waiter sharing exquisite detail about the menu & chef Mark explaining the abundance of love and creativity that goes into each dish derived from all local produce. A lunch fit for Kings & Queens. One of the best food lunches I’ve ever had. Special place set on the delightful Folkestone sea front. Thank you 🙏 so much for a wonderful afternoon Paul Briggs.

WOW!! After arriving, seeing the famous green awning and walking down the steps into the restaurant (somewhere I've wanted to dine for so long) we were greeted by a bubbly, happy, well presented and professional front-of-house lady and I knew instantly, we were in for a treat! The restaurant is spotless, modern, comfortable and stylish with some fascinating framed and signed photographs of everyone from our late Queen to Peter Doherty donning the walls. The menu is as skilled and unique as the man at the helm who created it, Mark Sargeant. Mark manages to produce the most amazing traditional French flavours with modern twists that I've never experienced ever before. Everything is well thought out, presented immaculately, but more importantly, the flavours and textures are spot on!! If you want to know some of the work involved to produce food at this level, just ask Mark to explain the how the Madeira sauce and the Pomme Mousseline is made to accompany the restaurant's most famous dish, your mind will be blown! Mark came out several times to explain the intricate courses, the produce and the history and method behind them, which was incredible. From the honey/rosemary focaccia with smoked cods roe, 'Markmite' butter and Wagyu beef dripping to the RMS trifle and coffees to finish, our expectations were over-achieved in every aspect of our visit. I will now dine there regularly, I just wish I was local so I could visit multiple time's a week. Oh, they also have an amazing old and rare single cask single malt Scotch whisky selection!

What a breath of fresh air! Wholly unpretentious, tasteful decor, fabulous service and excellent food. We were actually somewhat nervous as we don't typically dine at higher end restaurants but the ambiance was so relaxed and the staff so friendly we felt instantly comfortable and at ease. It was also a really nice touch to see Chef Mark walk around meet people and introduce the dishes. We had the Sunday lunch menu. The food was perfectly cooked, some great flavour combinations and superb value at £35 per person. Will definitely return to try the tasting menu. Pro tip: if you are a whisky drinker like me, give the 12yr old Yamazaki a try, not that many places stock it and it's a fabulous dram - you'll also earn brownie points with the bartender if you do!

MS Brasserie, nestled in the charming location of Folkestone, is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside, the restaurant's inviting ambiance captivates you, setting the stage for an evening of gastronomic delight. On a memorable evening, Friday, January 12th, 2024, I was surprised by my wife for my 50th birthday. Joined by my brother and his wife, we embarked on a culinary journey at MS Brasserie, a dining destination I had wanted to visit since its opening. The interior design of the restaurant exudes elegance and sophistication, providing the perfect backdrop for an exquisite dining experience. The attentive and welcoming staff further enhance the ambiance, ensuring that every guest feels valued and pampered. However, it is the culinary prowess of chef and owner Mark Sargeant that truly steals the show. Each dish served reflects a meticulous attention to detail and a passion for showcasing the finest ingredients. The menu boasts a harmonious blend of flavour’s, skilfully crafted to tantalise the taste buds and leave a lasting impression. From the first bite to the last, every dish exceeded expectations, elevating the dining experience to new heights. The combination of innovative flavours and impeccable presentation speaks volumes about the culinary mastery of Mark Sargeant. The MS Brasserie is more than just a restaurant; it is a culinary sanctuary where passion, creativity, and excellence converge to create memorable dining moments. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mark Sargeant and his team for their remarkable creation and look forward to returning soon.

Not only is the food astronomically fantastic, and creative, and exciting, but everyone involved in the restaurant is delightful and genuinely interested in giving you as good an experience as possible.

We went for a genuinely memorable meal dining for the Sunday lunch menu. The price is staggeringly reasonable when viewed against the quality of the food/experience. The food was delicious, bold and well balanced. It was one of those rare meals that feels like a genuine experience. Staff were attentive throughout and clearly believed in the food and what they’re trying to do there. Excellent from start to finish and we will certainly be back soon. I would also add that when we mentioned my mother had Alzheimer’s and may struggle with elements of the menu. They handled it brilliantly and the chef actually made a special effort to make her food manageable, as well as beautiful, without drawing any attention to either her or other diners. They handled it brilliantly.

We were looking for a Sunday lunch venue, but not the usual carvery affair, & a friend mentioned Mark Sargeant’s newish restaurant in Folkestone. We knew Mark of old, from his Gordon Ramsay days thru to Rocksalt, so booked. What a wonderful surprise - although with his background it shouldn’t have been. We chose the prix fixe 5 course Sunday lunch menu: Amuse bouches arrived - a beautiful plate of four different little mouthfuls, including a chocolate macaron with fois gras & a sharp raspberry powder - sublime - delivered to us by chef patron Mark, who gave us fabulous descriptions! Starters - omelette Arnold Bennett, pulled beef brisket terrine - marvellous; Mains - leg of rabbit, & a bouillabaisse with cod cheeks - superb; Pre-desert - Apple compote with lemon sorbet & foam - beautiful palette cleanser; Desert - treacle tart (essentially) with clotted cream ice cream & morello cherries, & a “fromage blanc” (actually a really light cheesecake) with rhubarb. These are really brief descriptions of sublime food - & in no way does it justice. Our waiter Ollie was an enormous success - young, helpful, knowledgeable, & Mark was generous with his time, despite actually cooking in the kitchen (an unusual occurrence these days) he spoke to every diner, & served many of the dishes himself. This may not be everyone’s idea of Sunday lunch, but they really should get with the programme - this place is divine.

We were gifted a Christmas voucher and decided to spend it on lunch. We tried the tasting menu and were blown away by the quality of food, execution and generous portion sizes. Being a pescatarian Mark offered to substitute a vegetarian dish for the sea bass from the main menu. Totally unexpected and really appreciated that. We also loved the decor, service and style of the restaurant. The only dish that we couldn't finish, was the last one with rhubarb, sorbet panna cotta dessert. It was just a bit too big and had a lot of different flavours within one dish. Something a lot smaller and with less going on would be welcome. We will definitely be coming back, perhaps for an evening meal.

Really rather fantastic. The decor, glassware, service, ambience and food were excellent. Mark came out often to serve the food and interact with his guests which was a really nice touch. You could see how passionate he was about his restaurant. I dined with a member of my family with a gluten sensitivity and they could not have been any more accommodating. She said the gluten free bread they provided was the best she had ever had. We had the set lunch menu which was fabulous. The Yorkshire pudding filled with onions was to die for ! We will be back and telling all of our friends!

I am not sure where to start with my review as I have so much to say. Restaurantms has been on my bucket list for some time, but living in Bungay is not round the corner. However, the need became too great and it became a must visit. The whole experience was beyond any expectation. Mark himself was so kind, he invited me into his kitchen for a photo, he knew my name on arrival and when I handed him our gift, Baron Bigod cheese, which is made 100 metres from our house, he was genuinely grateful and obviously knew the cheese, straight away. We had the 5 course set menu which can only be described as sensational and it was such good value go money. The house red wine, was absolutely delicious, We were in good heaven. The time, passion, and thought that went into each dish was incredible. The whole meal was faultless. The staff, were all incredibly polite, attentive and passionate. For anyone who loves food, you must go to this restaurant . It is the best meal I have eaten to a long while. Thank you so much for making our day, so pleasurable and memorable. We will be returning as although you ticked my bucket list, it has gone back on the list again 😊

We have eaten at the Restaurant MS several times and it has always been excellent. Today we had a wonderful lunch, I started with artichoke soup, with mushrooms and a Parmesan crisp on top, followed by fish with a brown butter and shrimp sauce, followed by a lovely chocolate dessert. My husband started with boudin noir, had the same main and finished with a blancmange. He loved his food. As always the service was excellent and the snacks and pre dessert are delightful.

Chose this resturant because it had amazing reviews and we wanted ‘somewhere special’ for our night away in Folkestone. The service was great, just the right balance of attentiveness & attention to detail without being intrusive. We chose to go straight to the main course - BEEF WELLINGTON for 2. It was truly divine. A lovely touch was meeting the Chef who came to chat as he was concerned he would disappoint us with the wait for the main course. We loved hearing his back story and wish him every success with his latest venture. We loved everything and can’t wait to return.

That was it! We ordered gin and tonic which came. Okay, order was taken, staff were not okay with the menu. Wine we had to ask for. Took an age to arrive. Food was beautiful but all in all not a good experience. No atmosphere and staff were very blah. We ate regularly at The Swan, Rocksalt and The Wife of Bath which were all fantastic. As a diner you felt very special but not at this restaurant.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Had the 5 course tasting menu, couldn't fault anything, nice little extras in between courses made it extra special and Mark popped out to say hello. The house wine was very good. Will definitely return,

A superb lunch with friends. Exquisite cooking, beautifully presented; a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds coupled with friendly, knowledgeable service with some delightful touches of theatre. To speak to Mark directly when he came out to check on how we'd found our meal...

What an absolutely first class lunch we had. Everything was top notch from the food to the service and the price was absolute value for what you got. I can particularly recommend the bread service with the wagyu beef dripping. Absolutely unreal

Splendid, fantastic food, great decor and top service. The lunch fixed price menu is an utter bargain, I haven’t eaten a lunch this good in a very long time. Mr Sargeant runs a very fine establishment, you should go!

Went for Sunday lunch, taking my Grandson who loves cooking. Mark Sargent made a point of chatting to him and my grandson loved every minute of it. Starters of veloute and a carrot terrine were great. Mackerel main and Guinea fowl also excellent. Super desserts...

Superb value 5 course menu offer- absolutely faultless. Fantastic food, friendly service, and loved the Brian Aris photos on display. Only slight gripe was the Christmas music, it just wasn't appropriate with the food and surroundings Easily some of the best food we've enjoyed in...

Delicious food beautifully cooked. The midweek lunch was very good value. “Pre dessert” is a dangerous concept for pudding lovers, though!

An excellent evening at Restaurant MS. Attentive but unobtrusive service and, of course, imaginative food of a very high quality. We really liked the amuse bouche, and finished with a selection of the dessert wines - perfect at Christmas!

We had Xmas Day lunch here and everything from beginning to end was faultless - the creativity of the food, the exemplary standard of service, and the relaxed atmosphere generated by a really professional and confident team was a breath of fresh air! We left having had a great taste experience in a top class restaurant, which offered real value for money spent, relative to other restaurants at Xmas time. Thank you to Mark S and his team for coming up with something different and above all looking after us so well!

Myself and my partner had a absolutely fantastic experience all round. The restaurant itself is beautifully finished and the food was utterly amazing. Matt on front of house gave us first class service from arrival to us leaving. Cannot recommend highly enough

Enjoyed a delicious lunch to celebrate our anniversary. The food was excellent and the depth of flavour in each and every dish was superb. The service was very attentive, with several front of house appearances by the chef-patron himself, Mr Sargeant. All this plus a...

Had cheese omelette and chips. The chips were hot and not bad but the cheese omelette was, by far, the worst I've ever had. The cheese was almost tasteless and was rubbery. The omelette was dry and cold. Made me feel quite sick. Will never return.

Had the most amazing 5 course menu with wine paring. Just so perfect and delicious and yet not overly full. A real treat would highly recommend if you want be spoilt rotten! Lighting could be improved though to reflect the quality of the food and the service !

Such lovely food yet the service let you down. The lamb was cooked well and fell apart. Naan bread thin, crispy and tasty. Great flavours all round, Sadly we seemed to have been overlooked during our dining. We were offered one drink in the 1 hour and 45 minutes we sat in the restaurant. We also didn’t receive the chef’s complimentary amuse bouches, despite seeing other tables having them. We weren’t offered dessert or coffees either. Upon payment of the bill we did mention the service to the waiter, he said they were understaffed. Such a shame!
