The best restaurants in Thanet South East

In a tiny kitchen the chef conjured up a bowl of delicious bean and vegetable soup. It was a generous portion served with chunks of toasted sourdough bread and piping hot. Just what we needed after the chill of a November day. The little restaurant is in a quirky indoor market opposite the Turner gallery on the sea front.

Recommended this place whilst visiting Margate for the weekend, we ordered a takeaway for 12 people and we’re not disappointed whatsoever, the ordering process was delightful and the food was delicious. Would recommend Lotus Garden.

Terrible experience! It took the server sooo long to take the very simple order of the man on front of me on an i pad that she didn't seem to know how to work, while other workers in the cafe stood about doing nothing. Eventually I was served, I was told it would take 5 minutes, based on the slowness so far I left it 10 minutes. When I returned there was no sign of the food, I was told they would bring it to me, 15 mins later still nothing . My friend went back this time and so told another 15 mins! They said this was due to the problems they had with the chip and pin device, irrelevant as we paid cash! We asked for out money back snd went elsewhere. This cafe was great under the previous owners, I won't go there again- can't review the food as we never got any! I have a beach hut nearby and used to use the cafe regularly , they have lost my custom and my friends!

Excellent service and friendly atmosphere. Been several times and staff are always quick to greet you and very accommodating, cocktails deserve a special mention!

Came here to say Sunday not planned. Just walked in from celebrating birthday on the beach! There was a live singer who was great and we decided to have food! And it was great we had pizza and sides and wow it was incredible!! Definitely recommend ♥️♥️

Food is so tasty, fresh and owners so welcoming..We used to travel up to London for our south Indian fix but we no longer need to since Rani's opened their doors.. Based in Ramsgate 10 mins from home we visit most weekends..They now do Thali lunches between 12-3 they have 13 veg taster dishes for £9.99 all cooked fresh washed down with a bottle of toddy or authentic indian beer all served with a smile..Highly recommend this place it's a firm favorite in our house..

Went to this restaurant for a pizza (firstly banging, so yummy) and the chef gave us a sample of his chicken tikka…delicious, I went home that night and woke up in the morning craving it again so went back for more. VERY impressed, I had the Dahl and chicken tikka masala, great value for money, chef was lovely and gave me a glass of his mango yogurt drink. I am very upset I don’t live locally, LOVE LOVE LOVE

Great service. Tast fabulous.loaded chips fantastic tast.

I went to two Beano cafes while I was in the area. I found the one in Broadstairs poor; but this one was terrific. Beano isn't a chain, as such, but more a set of individual businesses. So that must explain it. The big difference was that the chefs in the Ramsgate one really knew how to cook an English breakfast. There's an art to it and they nailed it. In particular, the food was piping hot, and the two over-easy eggs were served perfectly runny. Also the two hash browns were deliciously crisp, not soggy. Even the tea was bang on. Only let down was the catering-level sausage. They were quite busy, a good sign, with groups of locals and workmen in. The cafe's not on the seafront; but it's a good place to stop for breakfast if you're walking, like I did, down to the western seafront from the station. Prices are good value.

Absolutely amazing seeded sourdough!!! The best I have ever tasted! An absolute must buy for all sourdough lovers out there, just brilliant

Came in the other day, severely overpriced in general, "fresh" orange juice was from the corner shop I watched them pour it from the carton and this place has tacky decor, shame, could do with a decent wellness place in thanet but this place isn't that

Friends have told us about Chicken Stop and how perfect 🤩 your meal is prepared and presented. First try and I was amazed chicken cooked beautifully absolutely delicious will be back for more after Christmas 🎅. Amazing .

Lovely little cafe with really friendly welcoming staff. We went for the Manze’s pie and mash. Lovely pies, well cooked so crispy on top and soft underneath, chock full of meat. We’ll definitely be back.

Hands down the BEST Fish and Chips in Margate!

Absolutely delicious!! Can't beat a Dalby Cafe breakfast, and what's even better, getting it delivered to your front door so you can have it in bed. It's cooked fresh to order just how you like, (crispy bacon) and you can even select to have it gluten free!! Dalby Cafe is the only Cafe that does a traditional English breakfast with a fully gluten free option. Safe to say my Coeliac belly is extremely satisfied. Thanks Dalby Cafe
