"A slice of French glamour in Margate, Sète seduces with the sound of corks popping, a snack menu scrawled on the mirror like lipstick kisses, and flickering candles come evening. The wine bar is an intimate and cosy space which suits bringing someone you want to, well, get intimate and cosy with. Sitting on the pavement seating, which faces a busy street, breaks the fantasy a little. Instead, head to the suntrap garden—the light will bounce off your glass and glistening anchovies on toast, and make you look like your best self. " - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

"A characterful, bow-windowed former sweet shop is the home for this lovingly run restaurant located on the road between Margate and Broadstairs. In a fairly small space, the passionate team have managed to combine a restaurant, a wine bar and a bottle shop. The kitchen fuses some classical French techniques with a distinctly British, produce-driven approach, where nothing is overworked and the natural flavours of a few key ingredients are the driving force. The blackboard-written menu is ever-changing, but expect the likes of curried lamb mince or braised squid and peas." - Michelin Inspector

Wow wow wow! This place is a gem. I feel very lucky to have gotten to eat here. We went on a Tuesday and got to experience the The £23 / 3 course set menu. It is honestly outrageously good value for the quality of the food you are eating, we couldn’t believe our luck. It was one of the nicest meals we have had out. The venue itself is beautiful, the service was absolutely gorgeous and the food was just so fresh and delicious. If you don’t have allergies I would suggest ordering one of each food item off the menu so you get to try everything. It’s very rare you come out of a place and can’t fault anything about it. I’ll be talking about this place, and recommending to anyone that plans on going to Margate. Thank you for a wonderful experience. ❤️

Wonderful and unexpected little gem hidden away in the back streets of Margate. Went for a midweek treat and were blown away by the quality of the food on offer with a choice of two starters, mains and desserts as part of their special early week offer. Arriving between 4-6pm we were also able to enjoy any of their wine selection for £5 a glass and were delighted with our choice of orange wine. Service was warm and friendly and they were so helpful in dealing with my dietary restrictions, they really couldn’t have done more. Definitely somewhere worth travelling to and I look forward ti a return visit.

Such a cool spot ! Great bar at the front with excellent choice of drinks and snacks, with an ‘aperitif hour’ - £5 for a glass of wine !! Inside the restaurant is decorated nicely looks like a classic French bistro, old wooden chairs and the menu written in chalk on a blackboard. Very good value ! Set menu was delicious, carefully produced, seasonal dishes that had amazing flavour. Highly recommend !

What an exquisite little place this is. Was in town on a work trip looking for a weeknight solo supper and I seriously lucked out stumbling in here. Their set menu (Tues-Thurs) is incredible value for the quality of the food. Two courses at £18 is only slightly more than I paid for a posh snack somewhere else. And only a few quid more (£21) for a pud too. Two choices for each course, and various extras (potatoes, greens, cheese) to add on as you wished. I had the generously sized haggis bonbons, a perfectly tender slow cooked lamb with chickpeas, and a beautifully light chocolate mousse. Portions goodly sized, had I been dining with someone I would have had a side but not needed, and saved me room for dessert. Alas no booze for me on this occasion but was surrounded by people quaffing delicious looking and smelling things. I had a honey and rosemary soda which was sweet and interesting. Service was warm, friendly and efficient, and I felt perfectly welcome sat alone with my book. Highly recommend

My partner and I went to Sete last night on a trip from London. We were sat at the bar and it was such a wonderful experience- the food was all incredibly delicious, the owner and staff were all lovely and we enjoyed the wine too. The pudding - a stout and date cake - was probably the best dessert we’ve ever had. Definitely recommend!

Incredible time at Sète this week for a birthday treat. The staff were really friendly and we loved the experience of the pre-set menu. We went early for a couple of drinks and chatted to the staff before sitting in the amazing dining area with a great view of everything being cooked. Really enjoyed the fact we could take our time with each course and the food was incredible. Had all three courses and each was a delight.
