British, Modern restaurant in Saltwood
The Green - CT21
“Delighted with the food matches and the quality of the produce” – chef Allister Barsby and manager Alice Bussi’s are celebrating their fifth year at this “lovely little restaurant… their Michelin star is well deserved”. All reports this year are unanimous on its “consistently fabulous cooking, with service and wines to match” which provided some diners with their best meal of the year. “I might have given it 5/5 for food, service and atmosphere had there been more guests creating a warmer atmosphere”.
3. The Folkestone Wine Company
French restaurant in Folkestone

2022 Review: Former Sportsman chef David Hart earns rave reviews from reporters who ‘get’ his modest 26-seater with a simple menu and an enthusiast’s list of wines (fans include the Guardian’s Grace Dent).
4. Steep Street Coffee House
Sandwiches, cakes, etc restaurant in Folkestone

This “great coffee shop on the Old High Street”, amid the galleries and antique shops of Folkestone’s ‘Creative Quarter’, combines yummy cakes with poetry, classics and local books to browse or buy – which “adds another dimension”.
5. Rocksalt
Fish & seafood restaurant in Folkestone
4-5 Fishmarket - CT19
For “brilliant fish” in a “stunning setting by the harbour”, look no further than this curved modern restaurant – opened in 2011 by Sir Roger De Haan, Saga billionaire and Folkestone philanthropist – which has by all accounts recovered from a blip in standards when founding chef Mark Sargeant left a couple of year ago. New head chef Akos Mate’s “delicious” food makes it a “seaside restaurant to seal that deal – business conversations are not distracted but enhanced by the professionalism of the service”. There’s a new upstairs wine bar with its own menu, including a strong oyster selection.
6. The London & Paris
Fish & seafood restaurant in Central Folkestone
13 - 15 Rendezvous Street - CT20
Close the harbour, a Victorian hotel dining room with a modern seafood-based menu and specials board which impressed critic Grace Dent of the Guardian.
7. Little Rock
Fish & seafood restaurant in Folkestone
Folkstone Harbour - CT20
2023 Review: This “very buzzy spot in a pink container on the harbour arm” serves “very fresh fish and seafood”, and is the “sister restaurant to Rocksalt”. “Spilling out onto a terrace, it makes a delightful spot for lunch in the sun, with engaging service and all that one wants from a decent fish restaurant”.
