Loved this place. Great setting, awesome vibe and really on it customer service. We tried a fair selection of the menu and our favourites were the peppers, prawns (especially the garlic parsley sauce they came with), tomato salad (particularly the dressing), and the blue cheese and dark chocolate desserts. And our Aperitifs and chilled Italian red wine topped it all off. Watch out when it's windy/the waves are crashing against the harbour wall as you might get a little wet!

It’s a pretty small space but they’re working wonders with it. An open kitchen feel is always great. As you’d expect, lots of enticing aromas fill the air. The staff are lovely, friendly and attentive. We were 3 adults and 2 children so had a lot of sharing plates. The squid, the cockles (more please) the black pudding, anchovies, Panisse (incredible) crab, bread… so yeah, we had a lot! Everything was outstanding and full of flavour. Wine list is good too. Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent selection of weird wines. Dark chocolate dessert sent me to space. Only drawback was they had ran out of oysters by the time we got there; noone was to blame but my heart broke, bet they would have been amazing. Still got our fish fill with the amazing anchovies and rosemary oil and the surprisingly delicious tuna and tomatoes. brilliant meal !!

Went to this restaurant for my anniversary lunch and this did not disappoint. I felt slightly anxious as I did see some bad reviews and was going to go to Angela’s. I am SO glad I decided to come here as me and my partner LOVED the food. The mussels and squid sandwich were particularly delicious and we had really nice ginger drinks to accompany the food. 3 small plates and bread, butter and two drinks was around £60. Would recommend for a special occasion. The service was also great and very friendly (quite the opposite of what I’d read)

Stopped here for lunch earlier today and the food hit the mark. All dishes were really good and portion sizes are good too. Definitely get the tuna with the beans which was really nice and the sole with the seaweed butter was incredible - the greens cut through the butter sauce and the lemon zest just adds that additional zing. Great dish!

The food was really tasty and fresh. We understand that they try to use locally produced food with organic veggies and their home grown one. The wines thawed we tried by the glass were really very nice. The let down was the cheese as you only get one cheese for £10 , not the usual cheese selections. Also the majority of the food are cold dishes. There is only one warm dish, but only the fish was warm, the vegetables that goes with it was cold.

I dream about these meals often! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the service was unmatched. A special shout-out to Emma, who was absolutely wonderful and made the entire dining experience flawless. I couldn't recommend Dory's highly enough!

Dory’s was just the best experience for us! The food was so fresh and there were so many beautiful flavours in each dish, everything was delicious. It is kind of a tapas style, the dishes are quite small, but it means you can try a lot of different dishes. There is also a brilliant selection of drinks, the cocktails and the wine were both great. We went on a lovely day, looking out to the sunset over the sea and it was just perfect! I would definitely recommend booking as people were having to be turned away on a saturday evening. The staff were lovely and helpful but due to how busy it was we had to wait a bit here and there. It was beyond worth the wait though, it is absolutely worth a trip to Dory’s!

Went with friends, had lovely supper near the seaside. The lady recommended us the smoked prawn with alioli sauce, which was the best prawn I ever had! Somehow the drink was a bit late and the wine we ordered had run out, but the staffs were willing to suggest the solution and we were all happy with it Recommend for smaller party size since the dishes are too good and might have to fight with your friends lol

We went to this place twice it is absolutely stunning. The food is so tasty and just perfect! Every small detail you would expect in an Italian is in this place. The pizza was just absolutely gorgeous and the pasta was linguine with prawns and had the exact same taste as I had tasted in Italy! Such a humble and beautiful place and the prices can be higher but clearly they are so established they do not need to do such things

Fantastic find, stayed in Margate for a couple of nights and needed somewhere to eat the first night and happened upon this gem! Lovely restaurant, fab and friendly staff and the food! 10/10! I had the Spaghetti alle vongole, and the spaghetti was cooked perfectly, the clams were massive and cooked perfectly too and the sauce tasted amazing! Kids meals were generous and fresh bruschetta style garlic bread . Tiramisù was delicious and homemade. This place was so good we came back again the next night. Thank you!

Having recently moved into a property we wanted to change some of the dated electrical fixtures, Connor explained the various options available & associated costs and massively helped us choose the best option & completed the work on our lights & socket's to a brilliant standard. I've previously used VA for electrical work and will continue to use them in the future.

What a lovely service and exceptional food quality. The sharing platter includes perfectly grilled meats full of fantastic flavour. No way you can ever achieve this taste grilling at home. No compromise on quality is the best approach to see the same customers again. Good news if this time Margate is not your destination - they have more brunches on the east coast including Deal. Special thank you to the young mum - she offered genuine smile which was an amazing addition to our meal.

It was one of the best Turkish meals I've tasted. Everything was fresh and tasty, well presented. The Turkish wine was excellent. Roman, our waiter was attentive to the needs of the children, and we met Chef Harun after the meal to personally thank him. The jug of water had sliced lemon. Toilets are downstairs in this large venue. Good for functions or large groups.

Family of 8 of us went out for a meal was recommended to come here. Was greeted by the staff. Very friendly and helpful always is showing that if we need anything on the table just call them over Was not disappointed. The food was fresh and mouth watering taste enjoyed the lamb dishes and the chicken with the rice. Love to live to a starter with hummus and the bread would be coming back here soon. Once we visit this area again would recommend you to pop in and try it.

Firstly, I was very impressed by design and cleanliness of the restaurant! Staff was very welcoming and friendly! Secondly, but actually , it must be the first, the food was excellent! Rich flavour and very well cooked! We had lamb kebab, chicken kebab, Falafel and Imam Bayildi (aubergine’s dish ) we really enjoyed it! The portions were reasonable big(we shared it ) and we had a portion of vegetables(complimentary) all food was perfectly served with sauce and pita. I wish you good luck 🤞

I went to this cafe because it was featured in Interior Designer's Masters. I was in town so I decided to give it a go. The food was good but not exceptional. It was not busy at all (I went on a Friday afternoon). The cafe decoration is so beautiful! So that's why I gave 5 for atmosphere.

What a great place, food and service were spot on. Little change to my meal but just improved it when something was running low. Had a couple of starters,small dishes, and a side all out at once, tapas style all tasted amazing. Highly recommend.

The stand out experience was definitely the Ribs. It was one of the best I've tasted. One of the most expensive on the menu at £17.50 but well worth it in today's prices. Came with beautiful crispy chips, slaw and corn on the cob. We came I early and had to do with a small table for two, we asked to move but we're told all tables were booked. However, they soon came back offering to move us to a larger table that was free. A pint was actually cheaper than the pubs around the area. Would definitely come back on my next trip to Margate.

Went for a Sunday roast last weekend and it was absolutely divine. Everything was tasty and a good size portion. I had the chicken. It was so good, my friends had the pork and they loved it. Probably the best roast I’ve had this year. Amazing people that work there too will definitely be back! X

I popped in for brunch and was really surprised with the quality of the food; I had the fish hash and have to say it was incredibly tasty... Also had a cocktail which went down very well. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to expand their palette with middle-eastern cuisine.

I had the aubergine pitta with jammy eggs and the potatoes with amba mayonnaise. The flavours of the pitta were an explosion in my mouth. Loved the dill cucumbers, candied tomatoes and the pickled cabbage. The potatoes were the best I've had this year. The cherry soda was not bad but wished I had ordered a coffee instead as it looked so good. It would have got a 5* review had the eggs actually been 'jammy'. Unfortunately they were hard boiled. But still incredible tasting.

The Good Egg was recommended to me, and it didn’t disappoint. My wife and I had brunch, and I ordered the Salt Beef pita which was really very good. Strong flavour out the salt beef, with mustard and a pickled cabbage that cut through the richness of the beef and (added) egg. I had a long black coffee that was good quality. My wife had the bacon and Date pita, which she enjoyed but thought the date jam made it a little too sweet. Service was good if a little slow (it wasn’t very busy). I will definitely be back!

Staffs were extremely polite & friendly. Reservations are highly recommenced! Here’s what we got to share, Garlic Pita, thick, chewy pita which was good for dipping. Cornbread, zhoug + honey butter, interesting! Tasted like cake! Whipped feta, spiced stone fruit jam, almond. It was delicious! Salt Beef Pita, 10/10!! The best thing we’ve ordered today. Fish Hash, did not enjoy this on my first bite, as flavours were new to me but enjoyed this after having more, it got me craving for it!

This place is 10/10. Service = phenomenal. Super affordable and actually quite cheap for what you’re paying for. Atmosphere is homely with a separated area for working so that part of downstairs is more social. Great decor, great playlist. We both ordered the kimchi hash special. The really did the Korean influence justice (saying this as an East Asian person who has eaten too many minimal effort whitewashed token use of Asian ingredients in restaurants). Straight up delicious. They also take payment on order so it’s great if you need to rush off after. Breakfast and drink totalled to around £9 per person including an extra sausage added on for each of us

Great place for breakfast. The meaty is delicious and a big portion. Very fresh and so tasty!! The coffee is also great. Friendly and welcoming staff. The perfect place to bring a dog or sit and relax with a book. The downstairs is abit more crowded now that you can’t use upstairs but there is a nice sofa by the window.

Fabulous brunch, as ever, from the friendly, helpful, attentive team at Cliffs. We love this place, with its relaxed, retro-vinyl vibe. No better place to relax and re-fuel, with the excellent choice of inventive breakfast and brunch dishes, and great coffee. The tamari mushrooms are to die for, and the veggie breakfast, just superb. The chill-out tables upstairs are ideal for friends and family get-togethers, the play area for toddlers is the ‘icing on the cake’. We’ll be back!

An absolute gem in Margate. The seafood here is nothing short of spectacular – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The oysters were perfectly shucked and bursting with briny goodness. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes. The restaurant’s seaside location adds to the charm, offering stunning views that make the dining experience even more special. Whether you’re a seafood lover or just looking for a memorable meal, Buoy and Oysters is a must-visit. We can't wait to return! Highly recommended! 🌊🦪

Went on a Saturday as soon as the restaurant opened at noon - managed to get a lovely spot on the terrace with a relaxing seaside view. We ordered various seafood dishes including a whole crab, a hot platter, a single oyster and also chips on the side. Have to say everything was simply fresh and excellent - prices reflected the quality and the portions well! The waiter serving us was also polite and knew how to be friendly without being too bothersome which we appreciated. All in all, if you're visiting Margate and only have room for one nice meal, then this is the place!

Absolutely perfect experience from start to finish. Our server Daniel was excellent and very friendly and attentive. He also recommended some great places for us to try after our meal (Mariachi Mezcal bar!) Even small bites such as the olives were an absolute delight! Huge and full of flavour. My husband ordered the Buoy bowl which he demolished and thought was excellent and said the King Prawns were some of the best he's ever had. Meaty, fresh, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. I had the Halibut which was also fantastic. Loved the saffron mash. Would of liked a bit more leek in there as potatoes are a bit dense. But the crispy skin on the fish and the bisque were superb. Also...a must try is the crab donut!!! We were so curious and so glad we tried it. Lovely sauce and dill herbs too. Also the view is to die for. We had a seat on the terrace and the sunset was unreal. Toilets super clean, all other staff very friendly. Can't fault this place whatsoever and so pleased we went!
