Colina Restaurant

"You’ll find Colina in the downstairs of Fort Road Hotel, one of Margate’s swisher seafront places to stay. With that in mind, it’s not massively surprising that this all-day southern European restaurant feels like a sharing plates restaurant you might find in Shoreditch. There’s tasteful mahogany furniture, a changing blackboard, and a room of people who are, let’s face it, mostly down from London. It’s a little higher priced than other Margate restaurants and all things told, isn’t totally worth it. Simple dishes like risotto or patatas bravas can be criminally under-seasoned so observe your surroundings (the seaside) and stick to what feels best (seafood). A bowl of fresh clams or a plate of anchovy taglierini are wise moves. photo credit: Colina photo credit: Colina photo credit: Colina" - Jake Missing
