The best restaurants in Canterbury South East

Lovely change from all the burgers and fish and chips, Dre's Carribean food is tasty and great value too, would recommend it for sure.

Quite Contrary is my favourite local cafe. Scrumptious cakes and scones baked in the cafe . Today I choose the delicious Chocolate and Orange Cake . Kim and Sue are always polite and cheerful.

Had been recommended this place couple of months ago and finally managed to try it. Loved every bite “popcorn mussels” were amazing 🤩 the cod father was good too. My wife had a crab meat sandwich, that was lovely and we tried “perdons” also nice We will definitely return 👍

Excellent fish and chips. It was much cheaper get our fish and chips here rather than the restaurants along the promenade. The staff were lovely and set us up a little table and couldn't do enough for us. 4 meals with extra sides and 4 cold drinks for £54 and probably the tastiest I've had.

Always one if my first stops when visiting Whitstable. Joy’s food always hits the spot. Her food is fresh, outstanding quality and the taste rates as 5 ⭐️ The Thai fish cakes and pad Thai are perfection, stop by and grab a bite.

Very good coffee and great sundaes just like the originals, fir those of us old enough to remember that!!

Amazing place with simply superb coffee. Some of the best I've had in the UK. Guy 100% knew what he was doing. Amazing stuff.

The burgers from Rad are consistently the best I've ever had in my life, whether it be the Camterbury pop up shops or their branch in Whitstable. The move to The Pound will bring a different clientèle because it is not a fast food set-up but the quality was excellent. Bonus: if you dine there, you can get free entry to the museum, but check the opening times to ensure it is open.

We bring the kids here to have pancakes for breakfast every other weekend or so and when I tell them we’re going, they’re no hanging around, they are up and out the door because the pancakes here are amazing 🐷. We adults tend to have the breakfast pancakes which consists of two very large, thick & tasty American style pancakes, a sausage patty, fried egg and streaky bacon topped with maple syrup and this really hits the spot. I did try 3 once and this was just too much for me. My boys have the Oreo or Nutella pancakes. They also do traditional breakfasts & egg & sausage muffins which look amazing too, I’ve been er to try them because I’m to hooked on the pancakes! Good coffee served also. Make sure you’re hungry!

Visited the hotel for a meal, food was excellent, service amazing. The staff were the most politest people we have been served by for a long time.Will definitely be going back

Ark has great coffee and delicious cakes but is also becoming a Cultural Hub - where people come to chat, exchange tips for films, tv, books, places to enjoy good coffee. Julia and Alex are great barista and great hosts. We are locals and regularly meet interesting people to chat to. Very dog friendly too.

So very good! The flavours just pop..the basil, lemon,coriander and best of all the chilli ! Very generous portions too The spring rolls, chicken salad,chill fried rice,pad Thai were all wow

Excellent home cooked Sunday lunch - great service and a lovely atmosphere. The lamb was amazing !! Will be back for more .

The best fish and chips I have ever had. I am local to Whitstable and sorry I have not been here before. To see your fresh, unfrozen fish been cooked fresh is a rarity. Thank you Clive.
