One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Outstanding food - even for the non meat-eaters like me. Wonderful staff. Great owners. And the wine list is pretty spectacular too. Brilliant and deserving of a 5 stars rating. I'm only sorry that a few 1 star reviews from people who object to foie gras on the menu (now removed) have brought down the overall rating for this great restaurant.
Just this restaurant alone is worth a visit to Deal. Outstanding, mind-blowing small plates food concept. It is very well priced with delicious food. It's probably the best food I've eaten outside of London. The service was also really good, kind, attentive, and responsive. This place is great for a quick bite and a glass of wine or a full sit-down meal with a variety of dishes, each bringing you on its own flavour journey. We ordered 6 dishes for 2 people plus dessert and non alcoholic Espresso martini, and we paid 74£, so it's very reasonable. If you are really hungry or want to taste it all, order the same amount. Otherwise, scale down to 4-5 dishes. The portions are decent. My absolute favourites were the blue cheese puffs, the chickpea puffs, and hasbrown with fish. However, it was really difficult to choose favourites as everything is just so tasty.
This restaurant has just recently changed their food concept from 3 course to small sharing plates. Therefore, most of the pictures here are out of date. Check my photos to see the latest offering and looks of the food. This restaurant has both outside and inside sitting. If the weather is great, it is worth to sit outside.
We have been going to this restaurant for several years. The quality of food and service has always been excellent - head and shoulders above the competition in Deal - we have tried them all multiple times! The current small plates menu is outstanding. Absolutely delicious food served in a great setting and atmosphere. All good. Highly recommended.
