The Best Restaurants in Broadstairs, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Wow- what a refreshing business. From the moment we amended our booking to add more guest and change the time, to the last minute of us being there - hands down the best restaurant experience we have all had for a long time. So family friendly, food exquisite (amazing steak), to joining in with our after dinner shots - and making sure our friends birthday was one to remember - I cannot recommend this amazing restaurant highly enough. You have to go here!!

Elene and Stassy (pardon my spelling) were especially lovely and very accommodating, starters and mains came out promptly and were delicious! I asked for my steak medium rare and although it did come out more medium well, it was too good to turn away! Had a really pleasant experience and will be back again!

Asked for a takeout, they were extremely accommodating and delivered to the Magnet next door. My burger was absolutely the best I have had in a very long while! Superb. Thank you 😊

Having visited their Faversham restaurant numerous times I found myself in Broadstairs and thought I would give this venue a visit. I was not disappointed, the same great food and service. The restaurant has a lovely outside area that overlooks the beach from a raised area with parasols that is beautifully lit at night. Due to the local folk festival being in full swing they were very busy but well staffed and well organised. I had my food within 15 minutes of ordering and it was delicious. An authentic hand stretched pizza Romana ( see pics. ) All members of staff I came into contact with were friendly and professional and the owner took time to briefly speak to me. It's great for families as there are children's options, if you're vegetarian there are good options and there is a separate menu for vegan diners. Wine stock is good with prices starting at £19.99 a bottle but they do have a premium selection too! They have a wide selection of dishes including fish and shell dish if you enjoy seafood. Just their branch in Canterbury to try now. Well done Posillipo, 5 stars all round Parking is available nearby and is pay for. It was very busy when I visited Broadstairs due to the folk festival so I parked a 15 minute walk away.

Stumbled across the restaurant when we were visiting Broadstairs. We selected dishes from the set menu. The starters were very hearty and delicious but the bruschetta was a bit burned. The main portion was smaller than expected and the chicken was dry but we had a nice time and the meal was overall tasty.

We arrived after 9.30pm on a Friday night. Other restaurants turned us away but Posillipo's were warm and welcoming. Helpful and patient staff who made good recommendations. The food was delicious and the portions were really generous. A good range of wine and spirits for a night cap! And the menu was priced well to suit a range of budgets. Would recommend and would visit again when back in Broadstairs.

This Italian restaurant exceeded all our expectations! The food was excellent—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambience was perfect, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. Kristina and Cameron provided outstanding service, attentive and friendly throughout our meal. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to everyone we know!

I have recently been to Mia’s with friends just over a week ago and decided to go back again but this time for a date night. The food and service once again was second to none greeted with smile and shown to our seats. Once again we were asked if anyone had any allergies and our drinks order was taken and we were given time to look through the menu. It is a tough choice as there is such a wide range of food that looks delicious but last night I went for the Chorizo stuffed chicken and for dessert the Chocolate Brownie with ice cream. The food was totally amazing and you can tell all ingredients are fresh and of the highest of quality, I cannot rate this restaurant high enough and have spoken to friends and family about having to come down and try the food.

Went here for roast today. Fluffy crispy potatoes. Lovely mix of veg came out on platter has beef pork chicken and stuffing. Wow best roast had in year's. You could ask for more veg more potatoes and Yorkshire puddings which we did. Gravey was lovely food all hot beats the carvery ques up Westwood and the over cooked food sitting under lamps. Really relaxed friendly atmosphere which I knew when it was raindells. Portions of the food was above and beyond. You walk out feeling full up. A Great Sunday with my family and kids loved it to thank you guys will be back

Amazing experience in Mia's broadstairs Near on the entire menu is gluten free! Spoilt for choice They had such a great knowledge about coeliac and gluten intolerance. Portion sizes were huge and very affordable Very clean environment and staff were very lovely and welcoming Will definitely return and I highly recommend

Excellent meal with great food and cooked to perfection, with the added bonus of taking your own drinks, would definitely recommend you give it a try.

It's always been great! The food is so good.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Raindell's! I had the pleasure of dining there yesterday and I must say, it was a culinary delight from start to finish. The ambiance was inviting, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the stage for an incredible meal. Let's talk about the star of the show - the steak. Oh, my goodness! It was absolutely divine. Cooked to perfection, each bite was a symphony of flavours that danced on my taste buds. The tenderness and juiciness of the steak were unparalleled, making it one of the best I've ever had. Kudos to the chef for delivering such a masterpiece! The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that every need was met throughout the evening. Moreover, the side dishes complemented the steak impeccably. The mashed potatoes were creamy and heavenly, while the roasted vegetables were bursting with freshness and flavour, elevating the entire dining experience. The attention to detail at Raindell's is truly commendable. From the presentation of the dishes to the overall dining experience, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend Raindell's to anyone looking for a gastronomic journey filled with exquisite flavours and impeccable service. This dining experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I cannot wait to return to indulge in more of their culinary delights. Five stars without a doubt!

What an amazing evening. Amazing food, and the staff where amazing too. The staff went over and above. Look forward to our next meal. Thank you

Wanted to eat somewhere on a Tues evening, saw the reviews and thought we'd give it a go. Glad we did, as the whole experience was very good. We arrived and waa greeted by Paul, who was very helpful and polite and explained the varied menu. We chose nachos to share and then the 8oz burgers. The food was well presented, tasty and cooked correctly. The nachos came with 3 dips and these were lovely and plentiful. The burgers came with coleslaw and chips in good proportions. We had a bottle of Sauvingnon Blanc which was very nice and reasonably priced. As it was a Tuesday night there restaurant wasn't full, but enough so that there was atmosphere. Our server Paul was very attentive and checked that all was well and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Would definitely return to the American Grill.

Amazing food! We went for my Dad’s birthday and planned on having desert but the portions are huge which we loved! The staff were friendly and approachable. The owners daughter was lovely and had a chat with us at the end which made our night and will be definitely coming back!

Highly recommend this tapas bar - super cute and cozy! Our favourites were medjool dates with goat cheese, chickpea and fennel chips, the skate and the risotto. Churros & cheesecake were lovely too. Certainly would come back again when I next visit Broadstairs.

Had a wonderful meal sat at the counter with Sherry looking after us brilliantly. What a superstar you have there!! Food was all incredible, particularly the attention to detail on the meat and cheese board. Meatballs, croquettes and the chicken were great ...the confit duck was to die for! I had to take my basque cheesecake home because l didnt have the space. That was also epic. Really really lovely place.

Lovely relaxing traditional tapas lunch, the waitress was very helpful and cheery. Food was delicious, olives were so good we ordered another portion. The sherry finished it off perfectly. Would highly recommend.

Phenomenal cooking - the basque cheesecake with Kent cherries was one of the best desserts I've had anywhere!

Beautiful three storey building, exceptionally clean. Visited for Sunday dinner, you must book, it's very popular. Staff were incredibly attentive, food arrived quickly, presented beautifully and we both had pork belly roast. Really good food, only negative broccoli was rather hard, but you be honest the rest of the meal was perfect so I didn't mind too much. Ordered a side of cauliflower cheese, best I've ever had! Will definitely revisit, but next time I'll ask for window seat as the views over the beach are beautiful.

We recently had the Sunday roast at The Charles Dickens pub during the long weekend, and it was a delightful experience. The location is fantastic, right near the actual Charles Dickens house—though unfortunately, it was closed on Sundays. The roast itself was excellent, with generous portions and perfectly cooked meats, and the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. While the food is on the pricier side, that's to be expected given the touristy area. Overall, we had a great meal and would definitely return. Worth the trip from London! I had the roast belly pork 🥩 😍🐽

Great spot for a delicious meal in a historic spot. The food was served quickly as we enjoyed the great views from the second floor. Our server Lauren was a joy and provided some great history of the area.

Delicious beer battered fish and chips meal, pleasant staff and service. Great location close to viking bay and being on the ground floor table was able to view the sea by a window.

The food is good, service is 👍, if you seat in the back you get the sea view. We had the chicken risotto, large margarita , two cludy lemenade = £45

The only letdown really is the parking. Broadstairs is one of those places where u may struggle with parking. Never had a bad meal here. Don't recall any negative staff either. Friendly, if not a bit too busy at times. Have to flag staff to be able to pay (not their fault, you can see they are busy) however you have some gorgeous views especially if it's nice weather & you sit outside.

Had a lovely meal last night with a big group of us. Meals came out really quick and yummy. Only little negative was the music a little to loud for me. Service friendly and helpful, can highly recommend this venue.

Food was nice, but they seemed very disorganised, although very apologetic.They were very busy though. They need bigger tables, with four sat around a table it gets very cramped once your food comes out. Went back a few weeks later as we still had vouchers left - so many discounts last time due to bad experience, this time it was much better, different manager I guess.
