The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in South East

Me and my friend Karen popped in today for a cuppa and just loved it. So much so that we went back in for the second time, a couple of hours later. We were served by 2 lovely sisters, who were so nice and chatty. The atmosphere was that of a friendly, and relaxing place to be. We promised we will be back for some food next time. We highly recommend this cafe.

Service was really nice and friendly. The food was fantastic

A total rip off, so overpriced…you aspect for some quality, but any festival food truck have higher quality. £7,50 for an appetizer composed of falafel & hummus for one( barely), very scarce, at least the falafel was good, the hummus as good as the ones sold on tesco, and £15 for a basic cheeseburger( horrible) that didn’t worth £5, I wouldn’t pay £5 for a dry old bum with an overcooked, dry, unflavored, and certainly frozen patty, served with and mediocre salad and processed yellow cheese ( sottilette kind)Horrible, horrible, bad and cheap ingredients, badly cooked and overcharged. I was charged £35 for that with one drink and 10% service . Total rip off.

The Fort Rd Hotel hosted our wedding reception and really exceeded our expectations in every way.....we already knew the building itself would be a very stylish and beautiful space for our big day, but we could not have anticipated the warmth and excellent service from the staff team from start to finish! The food we already knew was excellent, but we did not anticipate it remaining so exceptional despite catering for the large number guests. The day went brilliantly, Fred and his team managed everything smoothly - even down to consoling our cake maker when our chocolate wedding cake had melted in her car! Hotel staff consoled her and she really appreciated their help and support. The day could honestly not have gone any better, we will remember the warmth and professionalism of the Fort Road for years to come and will come back....maybe for our anniversary! Anyone considering a Margate wedding? We thoroughly recommend this beautiful and friendly venue ❤️

Lovely staff, fab food and great service!

First time visiting this place. Great food, can recommend the falafel and mixed grill. Turkish coffee was delicious, and really friendly and attentive service. A personal preference but I found the background music a tad too loud for a lunchtime.

The bar is close before 1am and the security is really agresive and not nice

Absolutely wonderful place. Greeted by a really friendly owner who was very accommodating and helpful. And lovely staff. The cakes are divine and the vegan burger with slaw was one of the best things I'd eaten. Had amazing coffee too. Will return.

Food was absolutely lovely with good portion sizes.

A bit quiet only a few others there. Mezcal was good.

Awesome lunch with my bestie today- literally couldn’t fault it! Small plates delish- recommend radicchio salad and harissa chicken especially! Finished with espresso martinis- yum! Such a treat an a really special place. Thanks for a lovely few hours!

Very helpful and nice people good food Very popular get in early.

We visited a few weeks after they first opened. Food was fantastic but service was shocking. We decided to try again as they are now an established restaurant with good reviews. The staff were initially welcoming, however, not observant. We ordered a bottle of wine for 3 people, but were only given 2 glasses. Likewise, we asked for a jug of water and was only given a jug and one glass. This was eventually rectified and we ordered our food. Starters were ok, the filo cheese pastry parcels were nice as was the calamari (although small portions). My husband’s 4 nachos with beef were very dry and not as flavoursome as described. Our starters were cleared and only my husband’s cutlery was replaced. The mains were very disappointing… lobster Mac & cheese very overrated. 3 pieces of lobster at the most, lots of Mac and cheese in fairness, just no flavour. I had the Wagyu burger which was worse than a cheap nightclub burger van burger! My daughter’s chicken kebab was tasty, but only 5 small pieces of chicken, no check back during the meal at all. We asked for the bill and were not asked how the meal was, or offered desserts/coffee. Received the bill with service charge included. Unfortunately, we asked for the service charge to be removed as we didn’t feel that the service received deserved any recognition or payment. We were really hoping for more but left deflated and disappointed.

Super little tapas bar/restaurant, £20 lunch platter for two is brilliant value, with a really nice selection of bread, meets and vegetables. One of the nicest lunch stops I’ve had in ages. Will certainly be telling fiends if they are heading to Hastings.

This is truly one of the best cafes in Brighton! And the biscotti cake is incredible .... Always such a lovely friendly vibe too.
