A popular (for good reason) and exceptional seafood restaurant, somewhat of a culinary Margate institution. Michelin Guide 2020. The menu changes daily, according to what is in season and what has been caught.

Its worth combining your visit to The Shell Grotto with a visit to this wonderful place. The Margate Caves recently re opened to the public in 2019. Originally dug as a chalk mine in the 18th century.

You will find the spiritual connection with this natural tidal swimming pool. You might feel the freezing water when you jump into the water, but soon you will be fine and enjoy the quiet swim experience. Dogs are welcome for this swimming pool too, if they are brave enough to swim with you in the sea water.

Great little gem of a restaurant tucked away off a side street from the old town. Lovely locally sourced food made and served up by lovely people. Top tip.

Recently opened, great quality food and wine. Great spot for lunch. Run by the same people as Angela's. The menu at Dory’s depends on the daily catch. It is smaller plates, with many raw, cured and pickled seafood and vegetables.
