The best restaurants in Tankerton Canterbury South East

Quite Contrary is my favourite local cafe. Scrumptious cakes and scones baked in the cafe . Today I choose the delicious Chocolate and Orange Cake . Kim and Sue are always polite and cheerful.

Brilliant fresh and tasty bread. Get there early though as they sell out quickly. They also do bacon or sausage baps now for the commute! Epic.

We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary at Basil and Co Ristorante Italiano in Tankerton, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was prepared to perfection and full of authentic Italian flavours. The wine selection was incredible, complementing the meal beautifully. What truly stood out, though, was the outstanding service. The staff were attentive, warm, and made us feel so welcome. It was a perfect evening, and we’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend Basil and Co for anyone looking for a special dining experience!

Had lunch here during a visit to Whitstable. The food was excellent and so was the service. The servings were also very generous even for sharing. We really enjoyed our meal here, specially the cabbage and the fish with mussels. Want to come back here when we visit again!

Best fish and chips I've had down south and lovely staff

Excellent Italian food in a charming restaurant with lovely ambiance. Attentive service, delicious dishes, good portions and good value. Easy parking. Perfect!

Great food for an impromptu breakfast for a family member’s breakfast. There was a constant flow of people so would recommend getting there early. Generous portion sizes and good service.

Was in Whitstable for the day and we stumbled across this place for lunch. I had the pulled pork sandwich which came with crisps and salad. The pork was tasty and the bread was lovely! I also did a takeaway with the orange and chocolate cake, that was amazing! I wish I lived nearer so that I could go back again!

I know it’s just a minute away from the sea front and does not have a sea view, but if you want to get a great cup of tea or coffee in a real tea cup with a saucer, (unlike M&S), and a piece of cake in perfect surroundings then this has to be the place. A clean, modern, niche cafe with inside and outside seating and right next to Tankertons lovely selection of independent shops.

Just had an excellent take-away from China Chef, lovely food, excellent service on a busy new years eve.

My girlfriend reported that her ice cream was excellent, and she knows her ice creams!

Lunch was fabulous. Sorry he's leaving for Spain.

Wonderful little cafe! Delicious lemon cake, latte perfectly made by the lovely young lady. Highly recommended if visiting Tankerton.
