Taylor and team were courteous and obliging. We received what we expected from the company and they were almost 25% less expensive than the other quotations that we received! Highly recommend Canterbury Electrical Services to friends and family.

Great food, quick and friendly service with a cosy ambience. The Lamb Stew that I had was delicious and the accompanying salsa was fresh with the right amount of spice. Left feeling full and Happy!
Rating: 5 / 5
Cafe Des Amis is always a favourite place to go in Canterbury, the food is always good, service is prompt and the cocktails are so good. Definitely recommend booking as it can get really busy. I never walk away from here disappointed
Rating: 5 / 5
Friendly staff, fun decor and delicious food. First time visiting and am new to Mexican foods so the staff helped me understand the menu items better to make my choice. Went for the spinach leek and cheese tacos and they were so good and paired wonderfully with the beans and guac. Excited to return and try more!

This is the best meal I’ve had in Canterbury and I understand why this restaurant has lasted so long. It’s one of the busiest restaurants too so you do have to book (it was packed even on a dreary February weekday ). The decor is colourful and wonderfully eccentric. Every member of the staff was warm and friendly despite the fact that they were very busy. I ordered a chicken fajita which came with generous, fresh portions of everything and deliciously cooked chicken. It’s worth noting that although the menu shows fajita for two that can also do single portions on request (I nearly didn’t have one at all because I don’t know this). Other members in the party all complemented the food. Overall it was excellent and I strongly recommend it.

Great Mexican! Super yummy food & nice vibe. Been my fave spot for years while I lived in Canterbury. Came back 5 years later & it’s still the same great quality food, full of flavors. Funky art on the wall is for sale too! Thank you:)

The Foundry Brewpub - Canterbury Brewers and Distillers
77 Stour St., Canterbury CT1 2NR, UK | Pub P: 01227 455899
Rating: 4.5 (1204) Price Level:
My wife, kids, and I stayed in UK for an entire week for vacation and spent all of our time in London, Brighton, and Canterbury and this was the best meal by far that we had during our time in the UK. Their spirits and beers are brewed and distilled in-house and are all delicious! I highly recommend getting a flight of the infused gins and try a few half pints of their beers. It's all delicious. I personally had the Cajun chicken burger. 10/10 would definitely eat here again given the chance.
Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent brewpub with a large selection of beers, four on cask the remaining 11 on keg. Great atmosphere and great beer. They also have a large selection of spirits distilled on site. I had the tasting paddle of 5 different beers in one third measures then tried 25ml of their single malt whisky. The Foundry black was my favourite beer and the whisky was delicious. I didn't eat here but the food served at the table next to me looked and smelt good. The staff were friendly, helpful and very efficient at their job. I'm very tempted to book myself on a tour next time I come to Canterbury.
Rating: 4 / 5
Very nice brewery/pub. Friendly service! They looked well after us. Food was good, pubfood, not perfect. I bet the brisket hadn’t been smoked for 8 hours. It was tasty though. The beer tasting menu was very nice. Maybe better not served all at once.
Rating: 5 / 5
Super friendly staff and incredible food. The pie was delicious and SO big, such nice portions and reasonably priced. Great selection of drinks, highly recommended.
Rating: 4 / 5
The Foundry Brewpub is a good option for a Saturday afternoon. Perfectly acceptable, really. The food? Decent enough and good value for what you get. But here’s the thing—it just felt like it was missing that little spark. You know, the vibe that makes you want to settle in for a few hours and soak it all up. The atmosphere was a bit flat for my taste, but maybe I caught it on an off day. It’s certainly not unpleasant, just not exactly brimming with character. However, there’s one thing that will definitely leave an impression—the toilets. Oh yes, the mysterious “combo trap.” I won’t spoil it for you, but let’s just say navigating the facilities here is an experience in itself.

Tiny Tim's Tearoom
34 St Margaret's St, Canterbury CT1 2TG, UK | Food Store P: 01227 450793
Rating: 4.6 (1154) Price Level:
Was visiting with a friend and hopped in for some afternoon tea, the staff were so helpful with advising us about portion sizes and I can say- they were right! One serving of afternoon tea was more than enough between the two of us. The Raspberry Apple scone was delicious and so large we almost couldn’t finish it, and the finger sandwiches were so fresh with classic fillings! We got the Tiny Tim’s House-blend for our tea and loved it. Overall, Cosy Interiors, great food and excellent service:))
Rating: 5 / 5
My favourite place to take visiting friends and family in Canterbury. No need to pre-book. The cheese scones are super delicious, I keep going back just for them. I've tried different teas, they never disappoint. Nuts allergy friendly.
Rating: 5 / 5
Quirky Super place, first time customer and we're be returning next time we are in Canters. Staff were excellent, friendly, professional and the service received was top notch. Teas were really nice, certainly different and there was plenty for two cups. Scones were of a good standard although one totally fell into pieces. Jam and butter were superb. £35 for 2 x teas, 1 x coffee & 3 x scones. Expensive, maybe, but was quality 👍
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely place for a classic scone. Their house scone (with blueberry and lime) is delicious (don’t forget the extra clotted cream!). Also nice selection of hot chocolates with fantasy. Beautiful setting.

Cosy little cafe in Canterbury. Chicken Caesar salad was delicious. We also had the potato and garlic soup which was also great

We had a fantastic meal at My Cafe, very good price. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a visit. I will visit again when back in Canterbury.

It's my favorite place for breakfast. Not only breakfast, but also for coffee and desserts. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great atmosphere, especially if you stay outside.
Rating: 5 / 5
Our server Emily was really lovely and helpful. It was very professional and the rest of the team was friendly too. Could not have asked for a better late lunch. Mine was very nice! My partner enjoyed his too, thank you very much. Bacon wasn't on the menu but they were accommodating and added it on. Nicest service we've had in a while.

We landed across this cafe, while looking for places to eat before watching a show at the Marlowe. The girl serving was friendly and helpful from moment we walked in. The menu choices are clear. Our food came out so quick, we was shocked. The food was delicious 😋 definitely don't pay double the price for another well known fast food restaurant just for a burger!

Cafe du Soleil

Rating: 4.6 (1441) Price Level:
Got the Mushroom Fettuccine, a Gin Cocktail with elderflower and shared a sticky toffee pudding. The food was so good, with good portions that were not too large. The sticky toffee pudding was heavenly! The service and ambience were also excellent, our servers were quick to give us recommendations and were warm and friendly. Would definitely come back when we are in Canterbury again!
Rating: 5 / 5
We had a lovely time here. The lamb dish was our absolute favourite but the others were all very good as well. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to come back!
Rating: 4 / 5
We sat outside under the heaters and beside the stream. In spite of being the only ones outside the servers were responsive and attentive. The food was nice but did not blow us away. For the price we were very happy with our lunch.
Rating: 5 / 5
Went to Canterbury and found this lovely restaurant by the river. Sat outside and all I can say is wow. Special set menu Monday - Friday in the day, very reasonable for the quality. Had one of the best beef carpaccio’s I’ve eaten (best was in Paris) and then a cracking nduja/salami wood fired pizza that I only just finished… shame to waste amazing food. One of the nicest menu’s I’ve seen in a while… fancied everything. The service also gets a special mention (lady with the smile and braces) couldn’t have done more for us and you can tell they had been trained well. Highly recommend if you come to Canterbury… inside good vibes and good music. Best to book especially at weekends. Happy Eating :)

El Sol Tapas Bar & Restaurant
7-8 Sun St, Canterbury CT1 2HX, UK | Restaurant P: 01227 467716
Rating: 4.7 (486) Price Level:
El Sol is a fantastic find near the cathedral, offering a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. The paella is a must-try—worth the wait and absolutely delicious. The tapas were also top-notch, showcasing a variety of traditional Spanish flavors. The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff who made the experience even better. Whether you're nearby or just passing through, El Sol is well worth a visit.
Rating: 4 / 5
This restaurant is great with lovely Tapas and a very cosy feel. Really enjoyed the octopus, the chorizo and fab padron peppers. Took 1 star off as when it's busy, it's a bit tight for space. Our table on 15th November was right next to the bar area where everyone waits for their table. Try the food though!
Rating: 5 / 5
The paella was perfectly cooked, bursting with authentic flavours, and the tapas were delicious. The cosy atmosphere made it feel warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome. If you’re looking for delicious Spanish cuisine with top-notch service in a charming setting, this is the place to go.

Posillipo - Canterbury
15-16 Borough, Canterbury CT1 2DR, UK | Italian Restaurant P: 01227 761471
Rating: 4.6 (1022) Price Level:
We just came in for a basic pizza, and it was hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had. We had olives and bread to start, also delicious. Every time a meal was carried past I wanted it! Great Italian beer and cider too. Not especially quick on food, but service was brilliant, and it was absolutely worth the wait.
Rating: 5 / 5
Intimate Italian Dining We booked a table last minute after we called into another restaurant/pub which didnt serve food on a Monday night....this turned into the best outcome ever!! The food was amazing, the staff friendly and efficient and prices comparible to pub prices, but the quality of food far superior. Seating inside or outside are available in a quiet corner of the Kings mile. Might go again tomorrow 😋
Rating: 5 / 5
Good food and seems to be a popular spot in Canterbury. I had a table for 1 outside and Everything was going well until my table was cleared and offered to someone else. I came back a mere 2 mins later to no table and no drinks. I have to say this was rectified promptly and the waitress was very apologetic. Overall a really good experience with nice food, wine and service!
Rating: 5 / 5
Tucked away in a quiet part of Canterbury, this Italian restaurant is an absolute gem. The serene atmosphere is matched by stunning surroundings, setting the perfect stage for an unforgettable meal. The food is simply outstanding, with authentic flavours that truly impress. The sharing platter we had as a starter was to die for - each bite was a delight. I visited with my Italian boyfriend, and he was over the moon with the food. Honestly, I can’t think of a restaurant that compares. Apologies for the lack of photos; the food was too good to wait!

Went here for Christmas Eve dinner and it was amazing! I've wanted to go to this place for a long time and regretted that I didn't do it earlier!! The atmosphere and interior are simply incredible, you can look at the scenery and paintings forever, they are all so beautiful!! The food was delicious, we chose a few starters and also my friends chose two main dishes At our request, all the food was brought to us at the same time, for which I thank you very much🙂 Everything was delicious, especially arancini and shrimp 🤤 All the staff were very friendly and attentive, the service was impeccable The star was Bella, who served our table, she was incredibly pleasant and made our evening special Thank you!

I'd never known that Cosy Club existed until someone I know had recommended going. A friend and I were visiting Canterbury for a bottomless brunch at another venue and just had to visit to find out how nice it was for ourselves. It was a Sunday early evening, and quiet when we arrived. Our welcome was super friendly, and the service at the bar was good. Cocktails were 2 for £12.95 which is brilliant! We didn't have much time available before our booking elsewhere, although we tried to push back our other booking so we could stay longer, but was unfortunately unsuccessful in getting hold of the other venue, which was a shame. Despite this, we had enjoyed our first drink so much that we decided to go back for another before ending our evening and heading home. The lady at the bar even brought them outside for us! The decor is absolutely stunning, drinks tasted amazing and were served with a smile. We would definitely be back to try more of the cocktail menu!😍

Can’t believe i’ve lived in Canterbury for 3 years and never been here! Absolutely 10/10. can’t fault it. Great for all occasions fancy or casual. i Went for my grad celebrations & had the funniest time. Lunch menu was amazing!! and the service was super! Will definitely be coming back to try the breakfast & dinner menu! Thank you for making our meal so lovely!
Rating: 5 / 5
First time here and I can honestly say it won’t be the last, service was very good. They were busy with Christmas parties but they were prompt. Food was good but the cocktails are such good value for money, if you go between a certain time it’s 2 cocktails for £12.95 bargain
Rating: 4 / 5
The ambience of the restaurant is inviting. The staff are professional, polite, and know the menu inside out. They are very welcoming. We love the decor and the food is very good. Parking is about 10 minutes' walk to the restaurant. I'm not sure, though, if there is any other access to the basement toilets. The lift is only accessible from the ground floor. Overall, I'm happy to recommend it.
