Best Seasonal Restaurants in Herne Bay

As always fabulous food and drinks and great atmosphere and one of few places that allows dogs in Whitstable.

Great atmosphere. Food better than average however didn't have our favourite chicken wing starter and my wife's burger wasn't overall hot. Great service and overall good value for money. Superb view of Canterbury cathedral as a bonus.

Had a wonderful time at The Ivy Canterbury. We arrived early but were seated immediately. The restaurant was busy but not too noisy and the decor and ambience was excellent. Our waitress Millie, was very friendly and quick to attend to our needs. Food and drinks were bought to us in a timely manner and the food was excellent (the Ivy Snowman quite something although I'd recommend to share). Despite the place being busy and a clear demand for tables, at no point did we feel rushed and after we finished our meal and settled the bill, we moved to the bar to have a few more drinks at our leisure where once again the mixologists were chatty and friendly and able to make a multitude of cocktails of our choosing without having to check how to make them. The food and drink were on the pricier side but you get what you pay for and the bill was not unreasonable for what we received. As a Canterbury resident, I think I have a new favourite restaurant/bar.

The Tasting Menu was superb, top quality food and good, non intrusive Service. Wine list is huge, but expect to pay quite a lot for even fairly modest wine, still and sparkling. You should also know that because of the quality and high standard, expect that be reflected in the price. This is not a gastro-pub…. It’s much, much more than that.

Both the food and service were fantastic. I especially loved the oysters (1 of each), it's difficult to decide which was my favourite. The roast beef melted in your mouth and the profiterole was the perfect ending. We all needed a good walk afterwards.
