Reviews
A gem! Great service, warm atmosphere and delicious food. The wine list was excellent. Highly recommend a visit for a drink or a bite to eat.
Wonderful food, really friendly staff without being at all overbearing or feeling rushed, and being able to watch the chef prepare the food from our table was a lovely bonus. Will definitely visit again and eat as much of the menu as I can. Absolutely worth a dedicated trip if you are in or around the Thanet area, and thank you for making our birthday celebration truly special.
The best thing on the menu – or, indeed, perhaps on any menu I’ll eat this year, and it’s only March – is Stock’s chicken schnitzel, there in honour of Ribbe’s heritage. The tender schnitzel, robed in crunchy breadcrumbs, is served with a whopping quenelle of Café de Paris butter, though Stock’s version is like a steroid-riddled curry sauce mated with a buttercream ganache.
We went for the chicken schnitzel after reading Grace Dent's review. It was indeed the highlight, with the tempura salsify a close second, but everything was delicious (including the drinks of course). A lovely, cozy bistro with truly exceptional service (I've never had a dropped fork replaced so quickly). We look forward to going back the next time we're in Margate.
OUTSTANDING! We were on our mini moon and had been eating in all the best places from Margate to Broadstairs to Whitstable, and Sete is the standout winner for us! We personally thought it was incredible value for this level of food. The staff were wonderful and even treated us to a glass of bubbles to celebrate our big day, and the restaurant has a great ambience and charming setting. Hands down the best lemon sole I have ever eaten, cooked to perfection and it just melted in the mouth. Many places are charging these prices but are not reaching this level of food so for us it was a real find.
Between the two of us we greedily ordered the whipped cods roe vol-au-vents, which were buttery and crisp, the whipped cods roe really worked well as the filling. We also shared the duck with green beans and shallots, the lemon sole in butter sauce which was to die for, the chicken supreme with aioli was super delicious, and the lobster rice was incredible so we ordered another. It was all outstanding!
Hats off to the chef for achieving this very high level of cookery in such a small kitchen. We will be regulars!
