The best restaurants in South East

Googled somewhere to have a breakfast and the coffee house came up. Very lovely breakfast, and the latte was beautiful.

Two of us went for a late mid week lunch and had an enjoyable meal. I had the roast veg and brie panini which was very tasty and came with a nice side salad. My husband had the Cajun chicken which came with cauliflower gratin and potatoes. The staff were lovely.

We visited on Sunday 25th August as we were staying locally for my wife’s birthday. We arrived shortly after opening, and were warmly greeted, and told to wait by bar. Whilst waiting they added birthday decoration to our table, which was a lovely touch. I booked after reading a gushing write up in a Kent newspaper, and whilst living in Kent my whole life, I had never heard of The Dining Room before this. I had high expectations, but it was a complete surprise for my wife. As we arrived early the restaurant was empty, but then started filling up as the meal went on. The food was incredible - genuinely some of the nicest dishes we have ever had. I had the lamb starter and my wife had the onion bhajis. Both lovely. Main course, I had the fish curry and my wife had the king prawn. Both were lovely, plentiful and very well served. With breads and accompaniments we were both too full for anything. As the food was too good to leave the waitress kindly bagged these for us, which we enjoyed a few hours later. We were very kindly offered a complimentary drink to celebrate also. I’m not often compelled to write a review, but this definitely earned it. Highly recommend visiting if ever nearby, or even fancy the trip out to Leysdown - you won’t be disappointed.

Had Lunch here and I ordwred the koshary . Pasta/ rice with small green lentails and crispy onions on top freash tomato sauce. With herbs spices . Delicious. Try the Herbiscus Egyptian tea . Hot or cold agsin Delicious!

Such a hidden gem, food was delicious, really good value and there’s a nhs discount. Very attentive and lovely owner who was incredibly humble, courteous and good at what he does. Heartily recommend a visit!

It might look like a cafe on the outside (if you can find it), but there’s a proper restaurant with a proper kitchen on the inside. A small but varied menu, good portions and tasty. The chef was out among the guests, taking orders and asking if all ok. Well placed confidence. We would definitely return.

Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere and a great choice of extremely good and very fresh food. First time here and will definitely be back.

I had heard mixed reviews so decided to try. It couldn't have been better. Food amazing, staff amazing. Sadly leaving the UK soon but if I could I would eat there every week.

Fantastic location lovely views beautiful garden. Friendly staff. Food very good. Found this hidden gem on the last day of our holidays wish it had been sooner.

The coffee served here is absolutely fantastic. I'm always met with friendly and knowledgeable staff that know how to make a decent cup of coffee. I highly recommend a visit.

We had the most wonderful lunch at Sauce and Flour! The restaurant has an authentic rustic feel. The menu offers a range of Italian starters and homemade pasta mains. Food was executed excellently at a very reasonable price (they would be worth 50% more to me). The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Overall, Sauce and Flour is an outstanding restaurant on all fronts - no wonder it is hard to get a booking! Whether you're looking for a casual lunch or a special meal, this place is a must-visit.

Great coffee, good spot to sitt.

Always stunning! The baguettes and sandwiches are the best in the area in my opinion, (try Chicken Tikka with mint jelly, or the lamb and mint!) and there's a big selection of deli snacks, cakes, crisps, coffee etc. The staff are all lovely too. I'd get my lunch from here every day if I could!

Easy parking as always. Warm welcome from Tanya. We enjoyed paninis and baguettes, teas, soft drinks and iced coffee with icecream floating on top! Prices always great

This place is excellent for entertainment and traditional Greek Food. John the owner always amazes us for the acts he books in this venue and then the traditional meze John serves up is unbelievable. This place is local to us and well supported on its special nights and also on its take away food evenings .
