The 21 Best Restaurants In Margate

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Jake Missing |Daisy Meager |Sinead Cranna |Rianne Shlebak

There are lots of seafood restaurants in Margate, but Angela’s is the best. It overlooks a bustling square, but inside there's a sense of calm. Plates of buttery lobster and turbot, and hearty lentils topped with goats’ cheese are ferried between tables. They go back to the kitchen empty, every last drop of sauce swept up by crispy Jersey potatoes and hunks of bread. Glasses of white wine are sipped as chatter and attention turns to sweet strawberries draped with light, creamy sabayon.

This is a famed sandwich sophisticate. It has beauty, charisma, class, sex appeal. OK, forget that last one, but Quo Vadis is a sexy, British bolthole of bliss in Soho and this is their complex, clever star. On the outside, uniform rectangles of fluffy sourdough from Poilâne. Inside, a line of smoky eel chunks standing to attention and an absolute face-slapper serving of mustard and horseradish cream. This is a city of exceptional chops.

London Fields dessert spot Bennys serves its slab of school cake with ice cream or custard. If you make the wrong choice, you can’t sit with us. There’s sprinkle sponge and chocolate on the menu, but the sweet, light, airy cake topped with jam and desiccated coconut is the one that’ll really transport you back to those long foldaway tables. Choose Bird’s-like custard as your topping and they’ll drench the cake in it, just like your favourite dinner lady used to.

Sol’s is a multi-use deli and wine bar that has many counters to lean on and potentially make a new friend. The Bayswater hangout is all about swilling wine and forking crispy patatas bravas while deciding whether you should start serving tinned fish on a doily at home. It’s walk-in-only, so the crowd is pretty fluid and impromptu conversations over what your neighbours are drinking (or snacking on) feel totally natural.

Sep 22, 2024 | theinfatuation.com | Heidi Lauth Beasley |Sinead Cranna |Daisy Meager |Jake Missing

Starters, appetisers, tempting little snacks. They can be the best part of a meal. That first chew of a plump oyster, that inhaled slice of buttered focaccia. Nothing beats it.

Although you may need to reorder some of them on the spot. This is a celebration of London’s most exciting first bites.
