The place was very clean and the atmosphere was relaxing and we did not have to wait long for our food. There are toilets available. We certainly will visit again soon.

It was our first time here, the food was tasty and the service was outstanding. The only thing stopping me from giving a full 5 stars is the dirty table and glass.

Sunday brunch at the very dog friend, very vegan friendly, Mocka ... right up our very own beautiful street. Sundays are for fab food, and Mocka does not disappoint. Doggy sausages for our beautiful dog Vegan waffles with sausages, spinach, avocado, baked beans, maple syrup and fruit Vegan Delight with sausages, tofu scramble, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans, and toast Yet another lush, family run, eatery to add to Folkestone's array of independently owned businesses. If you haven't already been, please give it a go 🐾

My husband and I visited Folkestone for a mini break and came to Mocka for breakfast. We'd seen good reviews and thought we'd give it a try. Spectacular! The breakfasts were beautifully presented and of high quality. We'd recommend this place highly. Wishing the owners a lot of success in your venture.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nice looking restaurant. The savoury part of the waffle 🧇 is a bit bland, but I like the combo of savoury and sweet in one plate. The burger is good. One of the friends ordered the sandwich which seems to be the best. :)

We visited here after looking around town for somewhere to have dessert. We really lucked out. The place is newly decorated and is really cute. The passion fruit and mango chiller was delicious and our desserts not only looked good but were delicious! The service was perfect and we really loved the music which set a nice chilled vibe. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Sotirios Bar & Restaurant

Rating: 4.8 (861) Price Level:
We booked a table for the 3 course £19.95 lunchtime menu after reading many positive reviews and we are so glad that we did. We had Brie and tempura prawns to start followed by liver with bacon and moussaka, finishing with chocolate fondue and biscoff cheesecake. Everything that we had was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The wine was well chilled and reasonably priced. All the staff were efficient and friendly and the service was attentive but not intrusive, just as it should be. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Wow! What a wonderful first experience we had! 2 adults, 3 teenagers and 1 small. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Meze was AMAZING and great value. Service was top class, friendly, knowledgeable, polite and attentive. We went for a special occasion and felt we were really treated as such. Thank you for making my 45th birthday memorable for all of us. Oh and the Cherry crush cocktail, LUSH. Only 1 photo as we were too busy having a great time.

We celebrated our Nans 90th birthday here today and the food and the service was first class . All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. There was no waiting for our starters or main meals or desserts they all come out together which was great service. All our food was very tasteful and my wife and myself will certainly return for a meal there .

Friendly family run restaurant. Great food quick service. Only 3 stars for atmosphere because near the end of our meal at a table of 7 ladies. They seated 15 people next to us on one long, put together tables. The noise they made with seating then talking meant we couldn't hear ourselves talking. Fortunately we were chucked off the tables we were on to seat another party.

The London and Paris
28 Harbour St, Folkestone CT20 1QN, UK | Restaurant P: 01303 489110
Rating: 4.8 (75) Price Level:
Beautiful decor, excellent seafront location and attentive staff. Recently renovated the hotel offers attention to detail accommodation, with personality and character. Our room overlooked the boats in the inner harbour which we loved watching from the window seat. Our vegetarian breakfast was lovely and very filling. Again added to by enjoying watching the boats in the harbour. Highly recommend for an escape by the sea!
Rating: 5 / 5
Amazing views from the top floor exec suite from the balcony (with recliners). Gorgeous freestanding copper bath in the bedroom overlooking harbour. Bed super big and comfy. Perfection. Binoculars a nice touch! Thanks for a lovely stay.
Rating: 5 / 5
The pictures simply don’t do it justice! Room No. 1 was both cosy and beautifully designed, with every detail thoughtfully curated. When we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely personal touch—a handwritten note with our names, local information, and a warm welcome message. The heating was already on, making the room feel wonderfully comfortable, and we appreciated that we could control it to suit our needs. We could even open the windows slightly to let in a refreshing breeze, which was especially welcome being so close to the harbour. The room was impeccably clean, with luxurious linens and charming decor that made it feel like a true retreat. A delightful surprise was the binoculars thoughtfully provided in the room, perfect for enjoying the stunning views and soaking in the beauty of the harbour. The bathroom was a standout feature—a gorgeous deep bath perfect for unwinding, and the shower felt like stepping into a refreshing summer rain. Every moment in this space felt indulgent and relaxing. We were so taken with the hotel that we didn’t want to leave. We even cancelled our dinner reservation elsewhere so we could enjoy a meal at the Harbour Inn, the pub next door. The food was delicious, the atmosphere warm and welcoming, and the proximity to the hotel made it the perfect choice. The staff were exceptional—attentive and genuinely friendly. The hotel manager greeted us personally, and his passion for the hotel and the pub was so evident that we thought he must be the owner. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, with so many thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. We can’t wait to return!

Kazoku
1 The Leas, Folkestone CT20 2DR, UK | Japanese Restaurant P: 01303 901896
Rating: 4.6 (220) Price Level:
(Edit 30 June 24) Still as good as it was last year when first reviewed. The evening bottomless sushi is still great value, now at £27.95 We decided to let the chef choose a selection of dishes for us but specified to the waitress for no vegetarian only sushi and for plenty of sashimi. The resulting platter was exceptional. (See photo). Great food, great value and good service (the restaurant was busy after sudden rain) We'd go to Kazouku once or twice a month if we lived locally, it's a firm favourite. (July 23) This sushi restaurant is amazing! What a great recent addition to both Folkestone and to Kent. There is a 'bottomless' sushi menu which offers outstanding value. Currently £20 at lunchtime and £25 in the evening. You order your sushi using a tick-sheet which offers a highly varied selection of traditional and modern Japanese dishes. It includes sashimi, which is rare on such unlimited menus. For the very hungry diners, the tick-sheet is returned for a subsequent order. Other diners have criticised the service, but it was quite acceptable on the lunchtime we visited. The food is absolutely delicious, and that's from a regular sushi diner. Food is extremely well presented (see photos of the same platter from 2 views). We will most definitely return in the near future.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great experience here. Superb value for money with the all you can eat sushi menu. high quality & great selection. Staff attentive & friendly
Rating: 5 / 5
Some of the most delicious South East Asian food my partner and I have had, we were on cloud 9. Reasonable pricing especially for the quality of food and service. I had the chicken sushi (definitely recommend) with the chicken karaage in sauce (must try) and my partner had one of the salmon rolls which was also super tasty.
Rating: 5 / 5
Been here multiple times and always lose against the bottomless sushi, will be back for the 5th time soon! Will try to beat my record of 3. Jokes aside hot food is really getting there in taste and consistency whereas the sushi is always great. They give a generous amount of sauce with the sushi, which many love but personally ask for less sauce so I can taste more of the fresh fish. Service is great but sometimes I will flag waiters down/raise my sheet if Im not noticed for a while. Always happy will come again :) Edit : Went recently and they now seem to have the experience, a lot more smooth and streamlined. Food arrived faster and service has improved.

This was my 2nd time visit to Kazoku. My 1st experience; ambience, hospitality, price, food was luscious. I mostly enjoyed Katsu curry chicken rice. I ordered the same on my 2nd visit but it was not as good as my 1st time. The portion size was minimised, chicken was not amazingly good. The sushi plater was good as expected. The total bill was £83 for a 40 pieces sushi plater, shrimp tempura, one pork ramen, katsu curry chicken rice and some drinks which I think was reasonable. Overall my experience was good. Next time I want to try their fried noodles 🤤

This place is amazing. The decor inside is gorgeous. Proper Italian vibe. Food menu is great, also for kids too. Seafood ravioli was my favourite. Staff/waitress were amazing and also on hand. No complaints whatsoever 👌

Very nice restaurant, quick and professional service. The food is good, not excellent. My favorite part were the olives and the pasta with frutti di mare was surprisingly spicy. Located near the main creative street, good option if you are looking for something quick to eat

Sunshine Folkestone Bistro
63 Sandgate Rd, Folkestone CT20 1RY, UK | Restaurant P: Not available
Rating: 4.5 (456) Price Level:
A lovely discovery day 1 but day 2 not so good. I had breakfast and the food was cooked beautifully and with quality ingredients. Further, the kitchen amended the standard menu listing to what I wanted. Comfortable surrounds . Pleasant staff with largely good and speedy service. Given the table call buttons and waiting on service the 'welcome desk' is somewhat formal and unnecessary . Not the cheapest but I think with the positive experience largely appropriate ... It means it's a now and again treat rather than more regular. I will definitely be returning here. I did return the next day as it happened given I was so pleased. Alas the same breakfast was one poached egg and one tomato less than the day before. The manager did bring a second egg but was very reluctant and was abrasive rather than apologetic, suggesting I'd ordered extra the day before . Hopefully a one off blip as the food was again good and not a weights and measures issue. He then tried to charge me for the 2nd egg but finally gave in to just charging 30 p more for a one tomato less meal than yesterday ! I think they need to get their act together here as they turned a delighted returning customer into one that would consider twice about going a further time. My initial five stars across the board have been revised down.

It was very tasty 🤤 My steak tasted amazing 🤩 I have eaten this many times in different establishments, but in your establishment it was 10/10 Thank you ☺️

Have been several times now for breakfast. Food was delicious and well presented. So far, there isn't anything on the menu I wouldn't recommend. Staff has always been nice and friendly. The time to wait for food was less than what I expected, granted, I missed the peak times. The restaurant itself is clean and has a nice style that sets it apart from the surrounding area. Would highly recommend.

A very tasty brunch, fresh with quality ingredients, not greasy at all. I had a vegan and my partner a full English brunch. We both left happy and very full, with a piece of cake and a sourdough bread to go 😊 The staff is very friendly too. It's not the first and definitely not the last time we will visit!

I've never been able to get into the Gourmet Kitchen when I have visited. Folkstone, what just happened that it was quiet when we walked past today. The 4.7 rating on Google is very, very well deserved! Service is excellent, The atmosphere very convivial and the food is amazing. I have a soft spot anything with pastrami and gherkins and I was not disappointed with the lovely toasted sandwiches we ordered. The bagel avocado, mozzarella and roasted tomato bagel was epic 🙂. We will be back!

Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent full English, happy to accommodate one change and what a delight to find a chef who knows how to cook tomatoes and add herbs to enhance. This is a rarity! The quality of ingredients was excellent, bacon nice and crisp as requested, delicious sausage. Friendly and warm service, clearly a popular place with some tables reserved. I asked for both my drinks (chai and flat white) to be extra hot. They were reasonably hot but not extra hot. I always ask everywhere I go because I can't bare tepid drinks! Highly recommended! Thank you 😊
