Guidebook for Ramsgate
Food Scene
Just one road back from my house, a fabulous qwerky cafe to chill out in, whilst the friendly owner toasts your panini, pours your coffee and changes the music on his serving counter record player! Browse and buy vinyl whilst you wait for your tea to brew :) Also sometimes has live music. A little garden out the back.

One of my favourite Thai restaurants. Lovely views of the harbour. Thai chefs, so authentic tasting menu. Check out the coconut and garlic rice as a side!

This is worth a visit purely for the location. It is situated at the end of the pier so the views out to see and back towards Ramsgate are fabulous. I haven't eaten there myself, but it's a great atmosphere just to sip a glass of wine or cup of tea at any time of day. They also have a very popular live music events calendar.

Also has a great little list of homemade pies and food. Occasional live music. Quiet during the afternoon and more lively in the evenings.

Sightseeing
If you enjoy your history, then you must go and walk through the World War II Tunnels. I'm hearing that tours can get sold out so it might be worth booking in advance if you're only here for a short time. I thoroughly enjoyed wandering beneath my home streets listening to the accompanying history. http://www.ramsgatetunnels.org/
