Review of Little Italy

Good italian... 
A nice little Italian restaurant in an old tudor building in the centre of Canterbury situated next to The River Stour. Here they serve traditional Italian food to a good standard. The staff are helpful and attentive. The prices are reasonable. Makes a nice change from all the other Italian chain restaurants on the market. A little slice of Italy in Canterbury...

Review of The Pilgrims

Excellent french cuisine... 
A building dating back to just after the Norman Invasion, unsurprisingly situated next door to the grand gatehouse of Battle Abbey. This top class fine french restaurant has very good service from smart, polite staff. The food is delicious and priced accordingly for the quality. An aperitif is offered in the lounge area where an open fire warms the high ceilinged room, before one moves onto the dining room. Sir Paul McCartney often frequents this beautiful old building with good, fresh, local cuisine.

Review of Red Square

a hidden treasure...
A small Russian restaurant tucked away out of sight in the middle of the shopping district of the city. Very reasonably priced for decent sized portions of very expertly cooked Russian cuisine. Over 20 varieties of vodka. The service was good with the owners' young grandson helping to clear dishes when it is quiet! A wonderfully different alternative to chain restaurants. The small dining area gives an intimate, family feel. Surprisingly quiet for such a lovely place - the position of the restaurant is most likely to blame.

Review of Jasmine Chinese Restaurant

great takeaway...
The Jasmine is Kingsbridge is a restaurant and take away service. I have never been to the restaurant but have never heard anything bad about it. The takeaway service is pretty good. They offer free delivery to salcombe when you spend over £15 (which is easily done). They arrived within an hour which isnt too bad. Of course times will vary depending when in the evening you order. The food is really good. Its one of the best chinese takeways I've had. Prices are ok, for some reason Chinese always seems to be more expensive than other takeaways. But if you dont feel like cooking I reccommend the Jasmine

Review of Ward Room

lovely view...
You have to walk through a shop to get to this small tea room but the view at the end is worth it. This place looks out across the whole estuary and on a sunny day you can sit at tables on a platform above the water. The inside is a bit dated but it fits into that tea rooms feel. They offer a good selection of cakes and pastries. They also serve some food like sandwiches, pannis and baked potatoes. The staff are very friendly and the service is good. Prices are reasonable, thoug may be a bit higher due to it being Salcombe. Though when looking out across the estuary onto the sea whilst enjoying scones this can easliy be forgiven

Review of La Fourchette Brasserie

strange system, bad service... 
This place looks nice on the outside and looks all cute and french but all is not what it seems when you walk in. A friend and I went and were confused by the way in which this cafe operated. As soon as we walked in (and I mean as soon as we walked in) we were asked what we wanted to drink and eat. We hadn't even had time to look at what they served, so taken aback we made a quick decision and sat down. Usually you get to take a seat and peruse the menu before making your order but not here, maybe I could understand this if they were busy but they were not. They were so quiet that in fact they forgot to even make our drinks and instead chatted amongst themselves. On finishing the pastries that we were so quickly made to order, we decided that we no longer wanted our drinks so asked for a refund and left. I do have to say that they did not kick up a fuss about giving us our money back and apologised about forgetting our order. The decor of the place is nice and has a sweet parisian feel. It just a shame that the service was poor, im hoping that this was just a one off....
