The best restaurants in Canterbury South East

What a surprising little cafe, it shares its space with curio shop “Polkadot”. Great welcome, space to sit amongst the curios. We had hot chocolate and a latte together with a toasted tea cake. Whilst relaxing we browsed the items around us, and found a couple of little “stocking fillers” for Christmas Well worth a visit.

1st time using.... kebab and chips nice and tasty will be back when in area again

Great atmosphere and great DJs. We came for the ska and reggae night, funk DJs and open mike night. All great and very good fun.

Nice place but shame we weren’t allowed to sit there. As soon as we got in the guy said takeaway only. He was incredibly rude and told us it’s takeaway only many times whilst ordering as my kids sat down waiting for our drinks. He also told us the toilet was out of order which looking at other reviews, seems to be the case all the time! The drinks were ok, the lobster tails were not bad but service very poor. Wouldn’t recommend.

I go there often, but recently their service hasn't been the best. The place is too cold now and the shisha is poor and it dies quickly. Also the owner feels that it is necessary to message me privately saying I told my friend to write a bad review so I thought I would write my own review. I will give you 1 piece of advice, don't get close with the owner, otherwise he will get upset if you go to another shisha place.

The absolute worst. A brilliant Chinese if you are after something that is purely conceptual. I blame myself for trying it again. 3 orders and 2 failed deliveries. Ordered at 7 and no sign at 9.20. I had to ring them. The woman on the phone could not have cared less. You've got more chance of getting service quickly from A&E than A&R.

Great place to eat in the afternoon cheap food and good quality good price on beer too

Amazing food and great service. Highly recommend.

In the center of the medieval Canterbury is an old and delicious restaurant named for the famous Trapiste, which serves typical Belgian food (although we are in England). This local place is a cross between a bar, a tea room, and a restaurant. In addition to a wide selection of beers, you can enjoy tasty dishes like the exceptional burgers served with homemade bread, or the special tea served with cream. The restaurant has a rustic feel, and each and every chair is a different style.The terrace is splendid, and there is even a gazebo, decorated with tiny lights, which make you feel like you are surrounded by stars in the midst of these beautiful medieval buildings.

Never tried this before it was nice to eat something else. (McDonald’s gets boring after a while) well done guys will definitely be coming back

I had a great experience at The Old Weavers Restaurant in Canterbury. The duck and apricot pie I ordered was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The service was amazing too. Tarnie, our waitress, was so friendly and helpful. She even recommended some great places to visit in town while I was here. Definitely a place I’d visit again!

Always a lovely atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. Any problems, which are very rare, are resolved swiftly. Food is always fantastic! And the cocktails go down a treat! This is why we return often!

Incredible oysters and doughnuts!!!

Gents out for lunch. December 14th Second visit just as good as the last visit 👍👍 Dean liked it so it must have been good. Right on the sea front and it was a very nice day 👍👍

We were a table for ten people this evening, and had a big party platter of assorted sushi, absolutely exquisite! The mackerel was divine, as was the salmon and the sweet prawn. Followed that up with Bao buns with pork and bbq, miso soup, chicken ramen and steak and egg noodles, and a grilled mackerel. All were exceptional. Really fresh, very tasty and so nicely presented. The service was excellent, the staff all so friendly and very patient. We’ll definitely be returning, as it was also such good value for money. Top night out.
