The 21 Best Restaurants In Margate

"Thao Thao might not have sea views but its bánh mì is good enough for you to want to take sanctuary from any hovering seagulls with a taste of Vietnamese food. The cosy restaurant on King Street makes a brief menu of summer rolls, bánh mì, a rice noodle bowl and a Vietnamese chicken curry. You won’t be pining for anything else. It’s very easy to fall for this place, whether you stop in at lunch for sweet and spicy pork belly bánh mì, or come for a relaxed early dinner sharing soy tofu summer rolls and a gratifyingly tingly curry." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

Wr had an amazing lunch. Very friendly and familiar, they made our lunch very special. The food was absolutely delicious. Very small place, and menu. Next time we are around that area we will definitely go back.

Thao Thao is a true gift to Margates restaurant scene. Albeit a small venue the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I had the caramelised pork belly and my partner the pork belly banh mi. We both thought the meal was beautiful and packed full of flavour. Left feeling satiated and looking forward to returning!

Visited on a damp Friday evening with a former work pal relatively recently moved down from London at her suggestion. We were the first to arrive and were warmly welcomed. We were offered the menu, which was exceptionally short. This is generally a harbinger of good things. As it is a sign of a place that knows what it offers is very good. So why offer anything less than that? In that respect, we weren't disappointed the food was fresh crisp and tasty. The broths showed signs of time being spent on them. There are interesting locally sourced beers, and I had a tea that hit the spot The only downside was the portion sizes. I'm a big guy with a large appetite. She is at the other end of the spectrum, shall we say? Apart from that small caveat, I would definitely recommend Thao Thao. It is a bijou well designed space made for intimate dining or small enough to hold a catered private event for a rugby team sized group of friends.

A beautiful intimate restaurant with a handful of dishes. We grabbed take away which was super fresh and so tasty. If you’re in the mood to fire up your taste buds, it’s the place for you.

Love love love their pork belly bánh mì and cà phê! Wonderful fresh flavours in the sandwich, so delicious. Dog friendly as well! I’ll be back to try ALL their dishes. Happy to have authentic Vietnamese food in Margate! 👏🏼

Recently came for a three course lunch here with my partner and we both left very happy. All the dishes were perfectly balanced and the portion sizes were bang on. The honeycomb pandan desert was the perfect finish to a near perfect meal. We will be back

We just got back from SEA and had a craving for pho. This place is a little gem! The Baan mi is fabulous and the broths are so fragrant. A small establishment but if you can grab a spot, you won’t be disappointed!
