The best restaurants in Canterbury South East

Popped into this charming and friendly tearooms for some tea and cake🥲 Decided on the Lemon Drizzle and coffee cake, both of which were very yummy 👍 Lovely pot of loose leaf tea with extra hot water for topping up pot makes a lovely change from a teabag in a cup of hot water Will return for sure

We live no where near the sea, but can get much better fish and chips locally here. The fish was thin, oily and smelly. Asked for a large cod and chips, and received two pieces of fish, one which was a small piece of haddock. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be many other fish and chips locally. Disappointing.

What a little gem of a place. Gorgeous location. Friendly, knowledgeable and attentive staff, with delicious food. Thank you.

Best Chinese in Canterbury. Generous portions, great tasting, varied menu, and excellent, friendly service.

A good place in Parkwood at Uni Kent. The burgers were delicious. Saw a few friends here and had some drinks. The service was OK.

We had really good steaks, properly cooked to our taste. Very good value! We also had breakfasts here, the Continental choice had enough variety to be satisfying and the croissants were very good.

Our local Cafe always Spot on Debbie & her team cook from the heart, good quality be warned lage portions! Omelette's are 4 egg jobs with filling choice, loads of chips, salad or beans, see photograph. A small breakfast is enough it comes with two rounds of wedges of toast, if you can't finish your meal they'll box up the rest for you to take away for later

Having read some of the reviews you would perhaps give it a miss, nit i am glad we went, some great food, not Michelin star food but good quality, Good variety and nicely served. And you areIn the theatre also you can have your desert back in the restaurant at the same table away from the crowd.

We love the food and service here and they have so many vegan options. It's very relaxed and in a very central location. You can also sit and watch the world go by too. Prices are reasonable and you never have to wait long for your food. I tried the vegan garlic bread with cheese which I've never tried before and I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for such a lovely meal.

Lovely cafe / restaurant, polite friendly staff, good menu and very reasonable prices. I had a sausage and onion baguette with salad garnish £5:99 which came with a good amount of onions not your usual smattering. Also had a large white coffee £3:50. Highly recommended.

I had the beef brisket for £35, which has no go withs, so added chips and a very small mac and cheese, which came to £45 in total. The brisket was dry, chewy and extremely salty. For £45 in Canterbury I’m expecting a spot on meal, which this was not!

We visited on a Sunday. Didn’t seem to be anyone in charge. The staff were disorganised and customers were crowded round the till area getting in the way of coffees to be taken to tables and the cake display. We waited a long time for a coffee. We went for a walk and came back for a piece of cake. As we approached the front we were told quite rudely that no more orders were being accepted. I found out afterwards that there is a 45 min window where nothing is served. What they could have said was - we’re taking a quick break from service and if you take a seat we can be with you in 15 mins. But they didn’t and we left without buying a cake. There’s a bakery next door. Could be really great if the service was sorted.

Keep forgetting just how loud the music is in here. Avoid if you want to chat or enjoy peace and quiet. Coffee is still delicious.

Visited whilst on holiday in Whitstable to buy sourdough, I've had sourdough from many different bakeries & this has to be the worst, it was so hard my bread knife had trouble cutting it ! Wasn't too bad toasted with loads of butter but definitely wouldn't buy again, Lidl's is actually far better

We ordered a hot and cold selection of seafood. The hot dish was awful. The fish was frozen and very uniformed and the batter stodgy. One so called prawn had no prawn in it - just a lump of batter. All processed and revolting for £6.50. The cold dish slightly better but cheap crab sticks. Considering the place is well known for fish we would have got better in Iceland supermarket!
