"Newly awarded a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand in 2022 and a new addition to the Guide." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"A Bib Gourmand wine bar and restaurant on the seafront serving generously priced small plates alongside panoramic bay views." - Aashna Gajra
"While not quite London-on-Sea, there is a fast growing group of Margate restaurants that would slip comfortably into London Fields’ or Peckham’s biodynamic, small plates scene. Sargasso is one of these and, in fact, is the seaside sibling to Brawn in Hackney. The laid-back, vinyl-loving bar and restaurant looks out onto the North Sea from the pier, and a lively lunch can become dinner very quickly. A seat at the counter combined with the dulcet tones of Gil Scott-Heron and something like an oyster with chorizo will set the tone nicely. A schnitzel skate wing with the sound of the sea and candles dancing come dinnertime, even better." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"Housed inside a former boat shed on the harbour wall, Sargasso really does have the perfect seaside location. Watch the tide come in as you sit back and enjoy the seasonally changing menu, which – just like sister restaurant Brawn in London – puts quality produce front and centre. In this case, that means a bounty of delicious fresh seafood, offering clean, powerful flavours in each smartly pared-back dish. The menu is designed for sharing, allowing you to try as much as possible, while the wine list leans towards natural and biodynamic options." - Michelin Inspector
