This place is spotless, modern vibes and amazing food. I went for a traditional English breakfast which was absolutely delicious, but there are many other options, including vegetarian and other healthy foods. 💯 recommend

Great cafe with loads of choice for lunch and main meals. Really reasonable prices, massive portions and fresh tasting. Good service. The latte was slightly boiled but the chicken Milanese sandwich was amazing! High recommend.

Lovely cafe, discovered by accident. Plenty of seating out back in open air. 50s feel to it. Food was really well presented, tasted great and great value.

Gloria's cafe has been done up. It doesn't have the red furniture any more. It is very clean. The toilet was immaculate. The food was nice, I only had beans on toast and I would say the portion of beans was too much. The service was a little slow, but the waitress did say it was her first day. Overall very good though.

A lovely evening at Quince with friends. Staff were attentive but also gave us time to order, chat and enjoy the afternoon without being interrupted lots. My stomach is absolutely full and those charred vegetables I could eat everyday. Thank you for all your hard work and care - we will definitely be back soon. Excellent value for money.

We’re here on holiday and our friends recommended Quince. The staff were so accommodating when I requested a vegan meal, and my apparently many dislikes of others ingredients they suggested (I didn’t realise I didn’t like so much!)! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were so welcoming, friendly and knowledgable! I’d say the price is completely fair for the quality and size of the portions! Would highly recommend!

Had an excellent dinner here and was super impressed with the quality of food and service! Came for a birthday and staff couldn't do enough to make it special. Steak was cooked to perfection. Also had a great range of local beer and wines

Beautiful food, classy surroundings and ‘just right’ service. It’s a really warm, friendly restaurant. Had a lovely dinner with my extremely well travelled son and he was very impressed! Especially with the red bottle!! Venison was gorgeous too!

CALLING ALL LONDONERS!! Finally a great bit of munch without the long journey back to SE London. Without a doubt the best pie n mash I've had. Only been open a year, yet I walked in, met families from Bermondsey and the atmosphere was extremely authentic. YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE.

This is not a Michelin starred restaurant: my 5-star rating is for the warm welcome, the friendly, relaxed atmosphere, sensibly-priced snacks, and the facilities afforded to parents (and grandparents!) with young children, which are top-drawer. There's even a separate upstairs room available away from the main café. Excellent!

Lovely new cafe, we stopped by for a late breakfast, loads of small kids play stuff in the garden with the supporting equipment you need for them... play area and more seating upstairs to. A lovely quirky feel, the inside ground floor was a kid free zone, lovely old building, really friendly and engaging owner, and a great story re why it's called the little fish cafe. Dog friendly and they did our one a lovely "dog sausage" too. Coffee was really very nice. Great place for families with small kids and dogs

Absolute gem of a place with great coffee [espresso], fabulous food, and the sweetest ladies. You feel like a dear friend every time you walk in, even when it's your first visit. I highly recommend this place and urge everyone to support these women. They have a wonderful cafe and the kindest hearts. When I'm back in Margate, they will be my first stop.

LIFESAVER! Jordan and his team are amazing- can't thank them enough for everything they did for my business. Quick, responsive, super professional but honestly just really down to earth, fairly priced, went above and beyond and just really lovely! 10/10 do not hesitate to book with them.

I can't recommend Jordan & his team highly enough. They did a fantastic job wiring our dream home in whitstable. Their knowledge & skill was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Having lived in the house for approx. 4 months now the lighting is each room is perfect with no shadows, all the sockets in exactly the right position & height & this is solely down to the metiuclous planning and thought of Jordan & his Team. All the work was completed to time and they did exactly what they said they would do and when. If you hadn't already have guessed, i would recommend Monarch without hesitation. They are a quality outfit with great professionals. Thanks Jordan & Team!!

Jordan and the Team at Monarch Electrical were fantastic. I had a full house re wire and the team were brilliant. Any additional needs I had or changes I made they were completely understanding and worked around everything else happening in the house! The attention to detail was extremely good. I could not recommend monarch enough and they were very affordable.

I couldn’t recommend Jordan and his team any more. They were knowledgeable, tidy, professional and went the extra mile. Any questions we had he answered quickly and clearly. Nothing seemed to phase them. We certainly will be using them again for any electrical needs.

Matt has just rewired my whole flat and I must say I am very impressed. He was very polite, professional and straightforward from first contact through to completion. Gave me a price and stuck to it. Then carried out the work to a very high standard as promised above and beyond. And no mess!! Really careful with my property. What else could I ask for. He is definitely in my list of trusted professional tradesmen and he is a a really nice guy to boot.

Had dear Mathew to rewire my property as the old electrics just weren’t safe for my family. He was always on time and worked until late with such patience even when we hit some complications. His workers were all amazing and could be trusted completely (even working hard whilst we weren’t in the country) . Half way through the job I asked if he’d add some lights into my soffits and he’s done a wonderful job! He also recommended our painter and decorator who again did an absolutely fabulous job! Thankyou Mathew highly recommend.

Matthew was recommended to us for some new garden lighting, connecting a hot tub and to check some existing cabling for safety reasons. He soon put our minds at ease sorting the existing cabling and installed the new lighting and hot tub connection (which included a re jig of the main fuse box). He was punctual, very polite and his workmanship was excellent. Also the cost of the work was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Matthew for any work you may be thinking of!

Delicious fresh food. I tried the Fata chicken, tasted amazing. The rice was made in away you can taste that it is well cooked, not just streamed rice. I don't know what is exactly the sauce they put on the rice but it was amazing. The crispy bread inside the rice was a bonus. The chicken was awesome too The fact that is a family business make you feel that food made with love

What a great little place this is! We were struggling to find some vegan food at 5pm on a Monday in Margate and then came across this place. I had the Egyptian Koushary which was absolutely delicious and so filling, just what I needed. My partner had the Falafel with VG cheese, pitta bread, salad and Tahini and they really enjoyed it. There was about 4 tables outside and probably 8 (?) inside. The service was really quick (although they weren't that busy) and really welcoming. Will definitely visit again when next in Margate.

This little restaurant is one of the best I've come across this year. The people are genuine and friendly, and you can trust the owner to deliver authentic and delicious Egyptian food. I tried all sorts of dishes, and every single one was faultless in terms of taste. The food is truly amazing and delicious – I never expected such high quality. From the bottom of my heart, I'd give it 5 stars and hope to return soon. Thank you, Shreen and Sharif, for making us so happy today. We had a brilliant time!

A very cozy small cafe with an atmosphere similar to being at a distant relatives- that is to say very welcoming. The Arabic coffee is particularly nice and strong and everything on the menu is very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back and strongly recommend.

Tom is such a genuinely nice and knowledgeable guy. This is a hidden gem of coffee. If you love your coffee and you care about where it comes from, then this is the place for you. We got some freshly roasted coffee to take home with us. This is just fantastic coffee!

Despite being in a problematic location for tourists, those of investigatory inklings will hunt it out and be rewarded. Though downtown Margate has a couple of good coffee places, Skinny Dip is definitely the place to go if you want something exciting and less like the Aussie "Flat White" gurglings. Tom the owner is a fountain of knowledge, and happily recommends things that hit your personal tastes. I had three different varieties of coffee (drip, pour-over and coldbrew), from three different beans, and all of them were great and very different. Behind the cafe in the same building is a form of communal workshop vibe worth a wander, but the star of the show is the coffee.

The Bodega breakfast bun - brioche, egg patty, cheese, crispy onions, homemade sriracha and pickled radish - is in my top 10 sandwiches ever. Great coffee too, try the batch filtered.

Unreal! Was left lost for words after having the BLT. Genuinely the best sandwich I have ever eaten. The Cold Brew is up there as the best cold brew you can get also. My wife had the Bodega and loved it too. We finished off with the French toast. Top draw pudding that put a feather in the cap of our experience. Great vibe and hugely friendly and happy staff. Will 100% be returning again and again.

Myself and the group I was with had a brilliant time, the play area was so helpful. Coffee was great, we had some snacks which we could not fault and the kids were able to play so the adults could enjoy themselves. Staff were helpful and lovely, it was a comfortable experience especially when bringing little ones out can be so difficult. They also have baby change facilities which is a life saver. We will definitely be back!

The food here is fantastic. They have a vegan menu with meat options that is amazing. Most of the menu can be made gluten free which is amazing. The care and attention they put into their food is fabulous and it always looks as amazing as it tastes. The staff are helpful, polite and friendly and we always look forward to coming here to eat. If you haven't visited Lafayettes you are missing out so pop a date jn your diary and tantalise your taste buds. 😋

What an amazing little find. The atmosphere, the food, the location. O gosh what more can u ask for. Took my family out for a day trip. And come across this lovely place over looking the beach. I tried the vegan dog. Wow, tasty And plenty of chips. Nothing was too much bother for the staff, they are so fiendly. We had a little noise inside. It's such a lovely little place. Which caters for groups such as birthday party's/hen party's. Not far from a view little site seeing places. Already arranging a second visit.
