The 21 Best Restaurants In Margate

"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

This was my first visit to Séte and I absolutely loved it. As a solo diner, I didn’t know if the menu would work, but it was perfect. I started with a cocktail, then enjoyed a couple of glasses of riesling along with the incredible food. One of the best meals I’ve had in Margate for a long time and super friendly with chilled atmosphere, I will be back.

Came down to Margate for a long weekend/stayed in local Airbnb near Sete & host recommended us to try it… We weren’t disappointed. Loved place… We arrived just before 6 pm and made use of their happy hour deal , £5 for a glass of wine, in fact had two lol You were seated in the back room on the condition that we vacated the table by eight as a large party was coming in which was fine for us as we had a dog with us (so the place is dog friendly) The cheddar rarebit was great and similar to its namesake… My wife went for the vegetarian cauliflower main course followed by the chocolate desert, which was the two course menu option. I went for the rarebit and braised lamb main, with matching wine which was superb…. Overall, the food was to a high standard and the service excellent. The bill was £113. Which wasn’t too bad compared to what it would cost in London….. Very enjoyable evening, if we’re back in Margate, we’re definitely come again

A wonderful spot for dinner. The set menu is surprisingly good value too, letting you try some of the best items on the menu at a discount (2 courses for £20 or 3 for £23). The star of the show was surprisingly the Courgette, Salsa Macha and Tofu, which was one of the set menu options and one we wouldn't have picked normally. But the pork rillettes, chicken schnitzel and roast peach with goats curd and walnut were all superb too. A great spot that's strongly recommended.

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. ❤️

Really lovely neighbourhood restaurant serving inventive and very tasty cuisine in Cliftonville. Kudos to the excellent, friendly Scottish woman running front of house on a busy holiday evening. We had a last minute table at the bar - and close to the door - but it was still really excellent, and the chicken schnitzel, this time served with blackcurrant sauce, was crisp and heavenly. And the desserts - treacle tart and eton mess - were divine. Highly recommended.

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.

This is an absolute local gem offering high end French influenced food. It's beautiful both inside and out and offers great wines and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The staff are first class and so knowledgeable regarding the wine and food. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough.

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 !
