There are a surprising amount of restaurants in the seaside town of Broadstairs, but when doing our…read morerecce of the town on arrival, this one stood out as the place we wanted to eat. We popped in and booked our table immediately. I can imagine that this town is rammed in the summer, but in early March it's pretty quiet. I'm still glad we booked though as the restaurant was fairly busy. The menu changes every day and focuses on British dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Being right next to the shore, this meant fish all the way for me. We started with some homemade bread and both me and the other half went for scallops for starter - served with crisp pancetta and a chickpea puree. The dish was very tasty though a touch on the small side. For main course, I went for wild sea bass served with brown shrimp, spinach and pickled veg. The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection, the whole dish a great combination of flavours. The boyf went for duck which was also delicious. For dessert we ordered the almond and pear tart and a chocolate pudding with choc chip ice cream. Both were divine but I preferred the tart. The wine list was interesting and not excessive in price. We ordered a bottle of Tempranillo, and finished with a couple of glasses of port. The manager popped over to see if we were happy with our meals. Chatting with him, we found out that the restaurant had been open less than three weeks. Give or take a couple of minor service errors, the place was running extremely well for somewhere open so short a time. He had previously lived in Brighton and admitted that he had got some of his ideas for the restaurant from there - perhaps that's why it had such an affinity with us! As well as baking their own bread, they also butcher their own meat and smoke their own fish on the premises. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner are all served here. This was a real find for us, and for a business in their infancy, they are producing fine food and service. I wish them the best of luck for the future and would definitely return if we are ever in the area again.

We kicked things off with some home-made bread and I had a bottle of Green Daemon Helles. One of the breads was chocolate which came as an unexpectedly tasty surprise! For main the lady had sea bass which she said was fantastic, and I had the root vegetable Pan Haggerty - something completely new to me and rather delicious. The chips were SERIOUS chips with masses of crunch and plenty of heft. It is quite expensive in the grand scheme of things, with our lunch bill for 2 coming to over £50 including service - this is not London, lest we forget. Definitely worth checking out if/when in Broadstairs, with a great selection of food and booze on the menu.

if you like curry, then you have to try this place!…read more The restaurant is actually situated in what was a house, converted into a small restaurant. Its quite small, but that only adds to the atmosphere. The menu is varied, and the food is cooked to perfection, and reasonably priced. They dont have a license for alcohol, so you can bring your own, which saves you money - and they will even lend you a corkscrew if needed! The only downfall is because its so small, its virtually impossible to bring pushchairs in, and there are no highchairs available, so maybe this is one to try when you have a babysitter! The atmosphere is really relaxed and friendly, and its extremely popular, so making a reservation is highly recommended, especially at the weekend. They also do a delivery service (incase you cant get that babysitter!) You wont miss the restaurant either, its painted bright pink!! Dont let that put you off though, the food is scrummy!

The food however has less to commend it. Normally seafood on the coast can't be beaten. Here however the white bait seemed fine at first but quickly proved too oily, tastleless and I couldn't finish it. Likewise, I had high hopes for the Monmouth coffee, but unfortunately the burnt milk in my flat white overpowered what richness the beans had to offer. What a shame. I'll be heading to Moretti's next time, which enjoys similar (if not better) views, but with far more promising and popular food.

The restaurant is bright, open and clean. Family run, the staff were friendly, attentive and very informative. The food was fresh and delicious. The roasted potatoes we're amazing! I had the roast mutton with a sage/onion stuffing. Great! My wife had the vegetarian pie and said it was equally delicious. For desert, we shared the Spotted Duck with custard sauce. It was hot and delicious (stop snickering you Americans...). They have a small but acceptable wine list, we shared a very good bottle of Chilean Merlot for only £15 . All in all, the best meal I have had for some time. I can definitely recommend Aqua 43 to anyone who enjoys fresh, locally sourced home made meals. And bring your appetite, while reasonably priced, the portions are very large!

A last minute impulse led us to join my son and his partner at the Alexandra Ristorante in Ramsgate, for our 31st December 2017 late dinner. And what a surprise was in store for us all as none of us had been there before. Our new-year's dinner turned out to be our best 2017 restaurant experience and the best Italian restaurant we have been to, over the past 30 years! What a find indeed... Although late for our 21:30 table, we were very warmly welcomed in the Alexandra Ristorante delightful and spoteless surroundings. We savoured every bite and minute we had until we left at 23:45. The setting was perfect for our New-Year's eve celebration: a homely environment, in the heart of Ramsgate harbour. The Alexandra Ristorante building is indeed unique. The tables are tastily set, in a welcoming and stylish simplicity.. Quiet music provided a pleasant background to our family get-together. The perfect Italian atmosphere oozing peaceful charm... As for the food... well as a French accomplished cook myself, I like the best and I was not disappointed... The menu offered a wide variety of options, including a good range of delicious vegeterian dishes. Our food was served with care by the owners who clearly take great delight in pleasing their guests and much pride in preparing the best of Italian traditional food. Every dish we picked was exquisitely presented, in generous portions, home-made with fresh and high-quality ingredients, and so so so tasty!!! Italian food at its best.... All dishes were very reasonably priced and our three-course New-Year's eve meals with drinks cost us just under £25 per person. Very well done John: your food is scrumptious and your prices are honest!!! A big thank you to you, family and staff for making our late New Year's eve a really unexpected treat, despite Ramsgate Harbour fireworks being cancelled due to strong winds... We left your restaurant into the wet and cold seaside air, with a warm heart and happy tummies! We will definitely be back in 2018 with family and friends to enjoy your special food, drinks and surroundings!

The Good Stuff!…read more Broadstairs is a fun little town with lots of eating options. Besides lots of restaurants and pubs there are also a bunch of Fish'n'Chips places in town. This was looked busy and had good feedback. And it turnes out this is very well deserved. It's a typical Fish'n'Chips shop...small, simple and busy. Several kinds of fish can be chosen, a bunch of burgers, some veggie options and kids menus. Calamari, Nuggets etc. are on the menu too. Also some cheap lunch deals. We had a Fish (cod) and Chips, some Dr. Peppers and a Texas Burger. The Burger was too dry, tasted good otherwise. Not huge, not fancy, but fair priced. But it's all about the Fish....and it was great! Tasty, fresh, crispy, hot. All you need and want from this kinda shop. Most people take out their meals. There are also a few seats inside and a few outside. They also deliver. We sat outside with our dog (not allowed inside). All in all a very good meal. Burger ok, but I won't take that into the rating....because it's about the Fish!

The food was poor (in our quite experienced opinion having eaten in many 3 M Star restaurants worldwide); and considering what we were expecting. They allude to some Michelin association or recommendation but we could not find any. The dishes were over described in culinary wordplay in order to make you think something classy is coming out. The servers were surly and slow even though there was almost no-one in there. We posted a review on trip Advisor and the Owner was somehow able to go on there and make a response in the form of a total character assassination! We found half the dishes were some cheap version of what most standard Tapas restaurants would be serving which they served up as their take on it but few mini kebanos on grey watery mashed potatoes did not cut it for us. the wine was stupid money as well -give it a wide berth and head across to the Italian any day of the week
