The best restaurants in Thanet South East

Light lunch and as usual everything went well. Outdoor café serving limited hot and cold menu along with nice cakes and hot drinks etc. I had Bacon Brie and Cranberry Panini and two cans of San Peligrino, ny partner had a delicious Victoria Sponge cake with a latte. Cost was just over £12 and service was fast, quality was excellent.

Absolutely the best fish and chips we have ever had! Stopped here on recommendation while en route from London to Margate and will definitely come back!! Like no other chippy near us ! Great staff and lovely location.

Didn't have any food but it was a nice pub very friendly

We booked a table for six ,celebrating my birthday, we were half hours late ,due to lot of road work in the Thanet area ,I live in Herne bay ,they had ours numbers ,but day took another booking ,at the time we got there there was only to table. We had two children ,and we wouldn’t stay late , We been there before , never again , I worked 25 years in restaurants in London.and we are not happy at all

Disappointing choice compared to other seafood outlets, not very tasty and doesn’t seem very fresh. Other seafood stalls we have visited have offered better choice and definitely appears fresher

The medium rare ribeye steak I just had was out of this world! I am nearly 62 and have never had a steak so nice. My partner had the salmon and that was amazing too. Make the effort to go, you won't be Disappointed.

We were talking about the Albion Inn to one of our children and we had arranged to go to Broadstairs that weekend. She said it sounded lovely so we suggested they come down and join us for Sunday lunch. Luckily her husband was not working that Sunday so we rang our other daughter and invited her too! We then rang the Albion and booked a table for 8 of us. Unfortunately this weekend fell when petrol was running out and my husband spent a couple of hours on the Friday trying to get petrol. He went to about 6 different garages with no luck and then the station just next door to our shop had petrol and he managed to fill up otherwise we would not have been able to go. Our daughter who has a 7 seater car and was driving everybody had the same problem. She had driven around most of Saturday and could not get petrol and told us that perhaps we should book the table for just the two of us as she did not think she would make it. However the little love got up at 6.00am Sunday morning and drove around and finally managed to fill up her car so we were all set! The Sunday roast was amazing as always and as there were so many of us (5 adults and 3 children) instead of dishing up the vegetables on the plate as usual they brought them all along in different dishes, which was brilliant as some of the grandchildren do not eat certain things. We also had three gravy boats and two big bowls of cauliflower cheese. Everyone was fighting over this as it is so lovely! This was all washed down with a bottle of Trapiche (an Argentinian Malbec which is very hard to get and if you do find it costs about £28.00 but here it is only £16.50), numerous pints of beer and soft drinks for the kids and my daughter who was driving. My husband had his usual crumble with ice cream and custard and the kids all had ice cream. I then asked for the bill as I had told the family that it was our treat and closed my eyes but it only came to £142.00! Outstanding value for all that food and drinks. Afterwards I went back to the flat, the boys went to watch Arsenal in the pub and the girls and kids went on the beach as the weather was lovely. They thoroughly enjoyed their day and said they would love to come back so sorry if we were a bit loud and messy Albion but we had a brilliant time and everyone left with full tummies feeling very happy. Special thanks to Michael (the gent who before helped me out of my wheelchair in the pouring rain) as he is so lovely.

My favourite takeaway! I miss being able to sit in The Pistachio and eat, but they have a takeaway service so that’s great! We order here regularly and the food is always super. Falafel wrap is gorgeous and the pizzas are top notch

We had a wonderful evening celebrating our wedding anniversary. We selected one of the set menus and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, bursting with flavour. We will definitely be returning very soon.

We had the best meal in a very long time at Dory’s, a tiny restaurant/bar, recommended by our hotel. There are a couple of tables, but most seats are bar stools - ours overlooked the kitchen and the chef was very chatty. Every mouthful was a pleasure. We particularly enjoyed hispi cabbage (charred with paprika, crème fraiche and almonds) and mackerel with thinly sliced courgette (apparently the last of the season). Even the bread and butter was exceptional! Sadly we don’t live in Margate, but this is somewhere worth travelling for.

Great choice and perfectly cooked. With a view out to sea it's a perfect location. Saved the hassle of finding places to eat in town too, Would recommend eating in!

We ordered a takeaway from here on Saturday night. Margaretta and a seafood one. Both were cooked to perfection and we had garlic bread as well, which perhaps was a little dry. The staff were friendly and the restsurant clean. Added bonus it has a gin bar opposite and thats where we waited for them. We would go back.

We went in Sunday afternoon for an end of walk drink, and sadly, the Bell across the road was shut. Never again, the lack of service, atmosphere, echo, furniture,ambience. are all just awful. I can't even imagine how the place could be changed to appear welcoming. Maybe some sofas, comfortable chairs and remove the awful furniture. Add some plants, curtains and paint job could help. Like walking into a closed down social club. I am not usually this vocal about how much I could dislike a venue..But this pub left me feeling cold, I couldn't wait to get out and I definitely wouldn't return. Sorry

Large haddock and chips freshly cooked to order. Batter was fluffy and light and very tasty. Good portions served hot. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Chairs and a couple of tables for the eat in option. Just a 10 minute walk from Margate station and well worth a visit.

Felicity’s Cafe at Quex in Birchington is an absolute gem. Picture this—you roll up to this quaint little spot, and from the second you walk in, it’s got that vibe. Friendly, warm, like you’re part of the family. We’re talking fresh, local ingredients that just hit differently. The coffee? Smooth. The cakes? Sweet but not too sweet. Service? Spot on. The folks here treat you right, not in some fake, scripted way. You can tell they care, like they want every dish to be a hit, and let me tell you—it is. You want cozy, comfort, and quality all wrapped up in one? Felicity’s Cafe nails it.
