The best restaurants in South East

This bakery feels like it has been picked up from Greece and placed in Margate, it is absolutely amazing. I had a stroll from the beach in search of something nice for lunch and I hit the jackpot. Pies, pasties, pastries, sandwiches, cakes…….. you name it they have got it. I got a ham and cheese pie and a spinach and feta slice both of which were delicious. I could rave on about this bakery but instead check it out for yourself & if Bakeries are your thing you are in for a real treat.

Wonderful, hub of the village. So friendly and fresh tasty food. We both had the full breakfast. Local ingredients and so tasty. The atmosphere was fabulous, we left feeling we'd made friends with the owners, the regular clients, and of course It's Dog friendly! Really Worth a visit anytime. Will be making it a regular stop off each time we come up.

Really friendly, welcoming people run this coffee bar. The coffee is brewed to perfection. The tea is strong and flavoursome. The toasted sandwiches are filled to the brim and very tasty. The cakes are moist and delicious. The outlook is pleasant due to the flowers and plants. The atmosphere, cosy and inviting. They also serve ice cream, toasties, waffles, and smoothies. The ice creams in waffle cones are amazing. The ice cream goes right down to the bottom, so every bite is a delight. This is a place we visit time and again. It comes very highly recommended indeed.

Perfect pit stop before a long 3 hour drive home! The cafe is cute and the staff are friendly. The sandwiches were AMAZING. My partner declared his the best toastie he’s had and didn’t stop talking about it all day! The menu is pretty limited (a meat, a vegan and a vegetarian option) but the sandwiches were clearly freshly made with good ingredients and thought was put into the fillings. I had the vegetarian option - squash, truffle pesto and cheese and the flavours were SO good. As a previous review mentioned, perhaps a small side salad or coleslaw etc would be a nice addition on the plate. Would happily eat here again, just a shame it’s so far away!

Our first visit to Vesuvius Garforth and we were really impressed. Authentic Neapolitan style pizzas cooked to perfection. Staff were very friendly and professional. A lovely experience. We’ve just got back from a holiday in Italy, we only visit Neapolitan style pizzerias and we’ve eaten pizza in many regions of Italy, including Naples. The pizzas at Vesuvius Garforth were as good if not better than anything we had before. Well done to everyone at Vesuvius, you should be very proud of your pizzeria.

Lovely mushrooms on toast and mocha with oat milk! Great for vegans. Also had vegan cakes!! Family enjoyed their drinks and tea cakes

This place serves very good food and has a good wine list, there is a fair range of wines available by the glass. The staff are friendly and the right level of attentive; the service was fine. The venue is smart, certainly a step up from many around here. There is a fixed price menu and a la carte choices too. We had the fixed price, the portion sizes were perfectly fine. The menu had some less commonly seen items, I had a very successful dish of Cornish sardines, while my wife had pancetta which she said was delicious. Overall, we definitely enjoyed our meals and our time there. Slightly on the down side, the room can be quite noisy if there are children present, and we had 12% added to our bill as a service charge (although we were only a group of three). This latter might be becoming more common, but it seems a bit off to me.

I love this place. Very fresh ingredients, deliciously made dishes, very friendly staff, good prices, nice view from the window to Palace Street, my favourite eating place in Canterbury.

Nous étions chez notre fils pour le lendemain de son mariage le 10/09/22 et il a été servi un buffet champêtre pour 50 personnes. Sublime !!!

After a walk along the seafront we spotted you and thought the cafe looked very inviting so popped in. we are so glad we did! We had a lovely brunch, my partner had smoked mackerel on toast with poached egg and I had the prosciutto, asparagus and poached eggs on toast, both were delicious. The Bloody Mary was served just how I like it with myself being able to add as much spice etc as I like. We took some Bakewell tart away with us to eat on the walk back and our only mistake was getting one to share as honestly it was the best one I’ve had, and it was still warm so perfect for this cold weather! service was impeccable, all the staff were friendly and welcoming, seriously we couldn’t fault it and will definitely come again.

Absolutely gorgeous food, classy interiors and fabulous waiting and cooking staff. I thoroughly recommend this to everybody.

Just wanted a late lunch and fancied the look of this place. Lovely polite service and the Afghani food was exceptional, highly recommended.

Superb anniversary surprise. Every tiny detail of this evening has been excellent. The food, drink and service all 5 stars. I would say Furna deserves the best in Brighton and possibly Sussex accolade. The team couldn’t do more to make our evening memorable. Can’t wait to return.

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch here. The food was absolutely excellent - although very limited for me as a vegan. But staff were really accommodating and couldn’t be more helpful. And it’s the staff that really are the stars here. We chatted to one young man who was incredibly helpful and also surprisingly knowledgeable about the Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple films (some of which were filmed here!) and he couldn’t have been nicer. Then there was Kate who waited our table. Hands down the best member of waiting staff I’ve ever experienced - anywhere. Helpful without being overbearing. Genuinely friendly. And able to anticipate our needs without us asking. Setting, ambience, food and staff: all excellent. We WILL be back.

Lovely wee cafe with very friendly staff. The pancakes were delicious.
