Guidebook for Margate
Food Scene
Our favourite place to eat in Thanet. Small dishes of locally sourced ingredients, many with locally caught seafood. Excellent wine list with predominantly the best English wines. Zero waste restaurant with Michelin Green Star and gorgeous view over the bay.

HIGH DIVE
Consistent high level restaurant with great view over the harbour. One of the more fancy end more expensive places, which is usually worth it if you include the view. Good natural wines available but at serious prices.

Super high quality Italian cooking. Harry and Simona get all ingredients either from Simona's village in Italy or from very close by. They make their own pasta with organic ancient grains and put together beautiful authentic Italian food with love.
