My first wonderful lobster was at Wheelers in Old Compton…read moreStreet,London with some luminaries of the art world who virtually lived there, & my last was at this unpretentious little place in Whitstable. I know which place I prefer : here by a long shot. Fabulous for all the reasons given by the other reviewers. I am now so nostalgic to return. Hey, maybe I'll just ring them now & go this weekend!I did go! : just as good as ever : just more expensive Fabulous oysters 70p each -elsewhere in Whitstable 50p/60p but bigger & top quality hereThen I went back more recently. Got food poisoning. The owners refused to accept responsibility & made no apology. For that alone,I will never return. How sad

DO NOT EAT HERE. We ordered lasagna and there was no pasta sheets. They tried to argue and say that…read morethere are and I've just mixed it, making the sheets disappear. It was a bowl of cold cheese and gross meat. The spaghetti was watery and the meatballs were pale.

Reasonably priced, Italian-influenced but not exactly "authentic" menu items. The interior is…read moretasteful, with marble tile, and contemporary seating, seating for at least 200 inside, and the kitchen turnaround between ordering and being served was barely 10 minutes. Service was excellent! There are a multitude of other Italian venues on the same block, so there are other options, some with more style and atmosphere, but overall a pleasant spot for a casual meal where you won't go wrong!

I am a raw vegan and it is heavenly to find the raw cakes ( carrot and coffee), with the fresh and fermented vege selections. For my family and relatives (including kids of 10 years old), I am also grateful to include for them hummus, cooked chickpeas with carrots, and also other vegan cakes (ginger and beetroot brownie). They are not (yet) vegetarian, but liked the bowl and cakes so much. I strongly recommend this place. Thank you for offering the nice and real food. It made my day yesterday.

One of the go to places for breakfast in Canterbury. Possibly top 5!!…read more This is such a good place, and I already cannot wait to go back. Went for an early brunch, in which I got the Green Eggs and Ham and a friend got Eggs your way, and both were so good! Eggs were cooked to perfection. It is a smaller restaurant, which means it's quite intimate; know that they don't do large parties. But the service is great, so if you are heading into town and need a place to stop for a meal, this is the place to go.

Thumbs down from this American, as these were the worst pancakes I've ever had. This cafe claims…read moreall their ingredients are shipped from the US to "make" their pancakes (as if somehow American flour is different from British), but I'm not buying that these pancakes are homemade at all. They taste and have the texture of grocery store pancakes. You're not fooling me. Also, beef chili and maple syrup on pancakes at the same time? Salmon and cream cheese on pancakes? YUCK. That is just a crime against food. It's not hard to make a load of buttermilk pancake batter. If you're going to put a huge sign in the window saying you're an "American Pancake House" the pancakes need to live up to that claim. American expats and travelers alike: I'd advise avoiding this cafe for breakfast. In addition the eggs were a bit rubbery and the hash browns were fine but nothing to write home about. Service was a bit slow but very friendly.

This cozy and intimate coffee bar serves some amazing breakfast, and they also serve traditional American breakfast which can be a great comfort when traveling abroad. Their waffles and bacon and crepes are very delicious. The service was prompt and very friendly. All of these combined make for a great experience at this restaurant, now allow me to add the cherry on top. If you visit the top restroom you will see some signange that talks about the long history of this building, as a history nerd I totally fell in love with this place and will HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone!
