Food and drink in Margate

Margate’s Shell Grotto on Grotto Hill was discovered in 1835, and the town’s food and drink listings include places in the Old Town and on the seafront. Restaurants serve seafood, Italian food and modern European dishes with a Caribbean influence, and some come with a wine bar, deli, bottle shop or rooms. A seafront cafe bar runs from breakfast to cocktails, a beach bar and cabaret lounge hosts events, and an Old Town cafe serves seasonal, locally sourced meals and coffee. A pub in the Old Town has open fires and Sunday lunches. Every entry has been matched to the business’s own website and to a second source other than Google.
