The best restaurants serving Spanish food in South East

A big portion of homemade cakes, good view (although cloudy when we were here), great selection of food and friendly service.

Make sure to get here when they have turned on their barbecue and enjoy a good cocktail while waiting for a lovely plate of food

Now called The Paper Boat Cafe, eat-in or take away, friendly service and fine views of the river and the boats passing by.

Si te encanta la paella, pero la verdadera, no dudes en tomar una porción (o más) del puesto de Picoteo. Como española y habiendo crecido en España, Paella ha sido una de mis comidas "una vez a la semana". Esta es la paella más precisa y sabrosa que he probado en el Reino Unido en 8 años. Le compro a Gloucester Green y también mi empresa contrata a Picoteo para que nos haga paellas. ¿Todos aman a Paella aquí? ¡Gracias! ! !

Two different sizes available in a mexican "hat". 5 churros and one dipping sauce or 9 churros and two sauces. Freshly made while you waited, choice of sugars onto the churros . Really delicious

This is a really nice Tapas restaurant, served by Tracy, who is wonderfully friendly. Very reasonably priced, nice flavours, easy parking outside. Found out about this restaurant after reading a KentOnLine review, so glad I tried it out, will definitely be going back, it's a little bit hard to find, sat nav gets you fairly close, but its worth doing a Google street view first so you can see where you are heading for, if sat nav sends you in the wrong direction, persevere you won't be disappointed.

A special place for a coffee dinner or any musical gig. Friendly service great food and atmosphere. Do visit.

How nice to go to a restaurant & come away with a really good impression. Great food, great wine & the bill wasn't that bad.

Great food, fantastic Spanish wine and brilliant service. Fantastic atmosphere and great place to celebrate a birthday.

They didn't lie when they called this an easygoing Spanish eatery. Loved the cozy vibes, the food and especially their drinks. I was too hungry to take pictures of everything but definitely managed to click the Paella de Marisco, which was deliciosa! Pimientos del Padron was surprisingly a favourite appetizer to go with the drinks, and so was their Gambas al Pil Pil. Apart from the spot-on Margarita, I cannot recall the names of the liquer we had (for all the good reasons!), but do go for the Spanish specials with a mix of herbs (they are sups healthy haha!). The seating could have been a bit spacious, and service a bit quicker, but they did their best with what they got!

Fantastic early birthday lunch for my daughter with plenty of gf and vegetarian options. Service was superb with special attention paid to our 2 year old granddaughter. We liked it so much we went back for dinner the following night! Will definitely return next time we’re in Folkestone.

Absolutely fantastic. 11 out of 10 if possible. Service charming, Delivery of food and wine just as quick as needed and the tastes and flavors beyond expectation. If I lived within 5 miles (unfortunately I don't ) I would be here 3 times a week ( or 4 or 5)

Fabulous food, wonderful staff, great venue, very happily fed Spanish family. Best tapas we have eaten in England Ole!

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The staff are friendly and welcoming and recognise regulars of which there seem to be many. The food is excellent and always impresses with plenty of choice and generous portions……….a great place to spend the evening.
