The best restaurants in Dover South East

Founded around 1595, this felt like a quintessential British pub. Food was great and plenty of beers on tap along with some hand pull options. Friendly atmosphere and a comfortable setting - a must visit if you find yourself in Sandwich!

Came to brewers fayre just for a bit of lunch one monday as was in the area and looked quite nice. The food was good however the staff weren’t as great. Our server was constantly on her phone and was very loud and not attentive plus she was rude. All in all I’d go back as long as I didn’t have this server again.

Unfortunately the service today was poor. Had to wait a while just for someone to come and take us to our table. Then a long wait for someone to come to take our order. An hour after we arrived we finally got our food. The food was good and we enjoyed our meal. This has been the worse delay that I have had to suffer.

We were greeted by a lovely lady who was friendly and efficient. The room is a good size with a comfortable bed.

We visited the Dover restaurant to celebrate my partners birthday. We had booked a table in the restaurant and upon arrival were seated in the cafe, not a very romantic setting to celebrate an important occasion.... we were not happy with the service and I submitted a complaint to the restaurant in January, this hasn't been acknowledged or replied to. Poor all around. I had hoped they could handle the complaint with good customer service which would have resulted in us trying them again. We are disappointed and the family won't visit again.

Super nice, very cozy and very friendly.

Booked a table for dinner with the family at 6pm. Arrived before and hardly any diners there. Ordered some starters and mains. Starters can reasonably quick. However, then waited an hour for mains after several enquiries. No one cleared the table and empty starter plates were still on table when mains came. Took our own glasses back to bar to make some space. Food was terrible, carbonara was watery like soup, pie was congealed. Not a great experience.

Booked this restaurant for a family dinner for a birthday for 7 people. Booked online and got an email confirmation of the booking. When I walked past earlier on the day of the booking to check out the restaurant as I am not from that area it turned out that the restaurant is closed down. Luckily I found out before we turned up at the restaurant in the evening!

We stayed in the Smugglers cabin as a family and it was a wonderful suit. We had everything we needed plus more. I was really surprised with how much the room offered. With a toddler it was perfect. The beach was directly outside so you can't get better than that and the staff were fantastic and friendly. I would 100% recommend this to friends and family. Just to mention the street outside was closed for road works so the traffic was very quiet because of that. We also stayed in Feb/March so out of season.

The bistro has reopened recently after having supposedly been refurbished! No signs of refurbishment only reduced stock in the delicatessen and toilets still backing up. We sat and had a cup of tea (literally) such a small cup it was similar to childs cup in its lack of capacity, a tea bag in the cup which after removing tea bag left half a cup although there was a small refill jug of hot water it was a messy process putting tea on the saucer and topping up what was left of the tea. The wall light next to the table was literally hanging off the wall exposing the wiring and fixings. Unfair charge for such a basic beverage so we will be going back to the Bell Hotel instead.

Have visited Salma restaurant a few times and every visit has been delightful. The staff are friendly and attentive as well as knowledgeable about the dishes and can advise if you're not 100% sure what you want. The food itself is wonderful, the owner took time to discuss what my friend and I wanted for dinner and came up with a selection of dishes to suit. Each dish was full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Worth every penny and would recommend anyone to visit

Thanks to Shaun and his team at The Bell for the perfect family Sunday lunch. The service and hospitality was fantastic and the food delicious!

Have eaten within the Marco Pierre White restaurant numerous times and never had a bad meal. If you’re lucky enough to get a window seat, then you’re treated to views of the English Channel as well as seeing the ferries leave the Dover port. The service has always been great as well as having friendly and polite staff. The food is always well presented, cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. Would recommend their steaks. Would definitely visit again in the future. To avoid disappointment, I’d recommend booking a table in advance.

Had a delicious gluten free toastie , well presented and generous portion. We als had drinks and ice cream. Staff were friendly and helpful and toilets were immaculately clean!

Wrong address added by my error, delivery driver was brilliant and brought food to other address 5*.
