Best Italian restaurant in Canterbury!?

Friend and I heard amazing things about this place so we decided to try it out and were unbelievably impressed - we had the gorgonzola gnocchi (best gnocchi of our lives) and the pizza “napoli”, followed by the tiramisu and creme brulee for dessert. Everything was incredible and we cannot wait to come back again to try their other dishes (although we’ll definitely be ordering the gnocchi again too).

I recently enjoyed a delightful pre-theatre dining experience that perfectly set the tone for the evening. This is the second time that I’ve eaten here. The restaurant was conveniently located near the theatre, making it an ideal choice for a relaxed meal before the show. The service was attentive and efficient, ensuring we had plenty of time to enjoy our courses without feeling rushed. The menu offered a variety of light, flavorful options that didn’t leave us feeling too full, but satisfied and ready for the performance. Overall, it was the perfect complement to a night of theatre, blending convenience with quality. Special mention to Mimi who was our waitress on both occasions

I was advised to book here and I'm so glad that I did. I booked for 18.00 but they rang me and asked if we could come a little earlier so that they could 'spread the load' over the evening. What a great decision that was. Service was impeccable and the food was the same. So much that we couldn't eat it all. Very flavoursome. Would thoroughly recommend.

Parking: Car park opposite gets very full but Pound Lane car park is bigger and there is a pedestrian short cut between Pound Lane and North Lane which is handy.

McDonald's

18-20 Saint George's Street, Canterbury

Overall, this McDonald's is a good option for fast food in a clean and pleasant environment, featuring modern amenities like wireless charging and free Wi-Fi. The food quality is standard for the brand, and the service is moderately fast, except during peak times due to its popular location.

The food is as expected for McDonald's, although it can be slightly cold if the service is slow—this is fairly common during busier periods. The quality of preparation varies but generally meets typical expectations.

A minor inconvenience is that the receipt printers at the self-service kiosks are frequently out of paper or faulty. This doesn’t stop you from ordering, as your order number is displayed on the screen, but you’ll need to remember it without a printed receipt.

The atmosphere is generally good, even during busier periods with younger crowds. The restaurant is usually clean, tidy, and visually appealing.

Amenities are impressive, including free Wi-Fi, well-maintained toilets (with parent and toddler facilities and disabled access), wireless charging pads at tables, and plug sockets with built-in USB chargers throughout the dining area.

The staff are typically accommodating, and I haven’t encountered any negative experiences with them.

Vegetarian options: There are limited vegetarian options available, although a few items do exist. Vegan options are even more restricted, typically consisting of one burger, fries, drinks, and a small selection of sides.

Dietary restrictions: Due to the open kitchen setup, this location may not be suitable for those with severe allergies to gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, nuts, seeds, mustard, fish, or celery. McDonald's provides allergen information on their website and encourages customers to inform staff of their dietary needs. However, the ability to accommodate specific requirements is limited and may vary by location. It is recommended to contact the restaurant directly for more details.

Parking: There is no on-site parking due to the city center location. The nearest parking options are the Whitefriars paid car park or the Waiting Street paid car park, both within walking distance.

Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is kid-friendly, offering children’s meal options, highchairs, and occasionally coloring activities. Additionally, some tables are equipped with interactive tablets featuring games to keep children entertained.

Wheelchair accessibility: This location is wheelchair accessible for ordering food and has wheelchair-accessible toilets. However, seating is limited on the ground floor, and there is no wheelchair access to the upstairs dining area. The self-service kiosks include an accessibility feature that lowers the on-screen options for easier use, although the physical height of the screens cannot be adjusted.

The Beano Cafe

12 North Ln, Canterbury

Good food and prices, conveniently located close to the city centre.

I went to The Beano Cafe for a late morning breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, two slices of toast, a portion of chips and a can of fizzy pop. The cost was only £7.00. The chips were particularly nice, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

I would recommend this cafe.

The New Inn

19 Havelock St, Canterbury

I used to visit here a lot when I lived in Kent 30 years ago (really, where's that gone?) and, to my relief, it's hardly changed at all (in the front bar, anyway). Lots of local and other cask beers to drink, a really good range of smaller brewers, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Glad I went back!

The Thomas Ingoldsby

5-9 Burgate, Canterbury

Great place to stay with friends, we booked 5 rooms. Normally stay at the travelodge over the road, but the rooms here are bigger and cleaner. Already to book for next year, we loved it. Food and drinks were on the ball, and considering how busy it was the waiting time was not to long.

Rooms: Very spacious and a good layout. Rooms are on the second floor, but there is a lift to get you up there after a few at the bar.

Nearby activities: Your in Canterbury, so there are lot's of activities, shopping or pubs to visit.

Food and drinks: Your staying at a spoons, the food is always great value for money. I like ales, so this is the place for me. I've been coming here once a year for over 15 years, and have never been disappointed.

Spice Spree Indian Restaurant and Takeaway

If you've not tried this restaurant before then I recommend that you pay it a visit.
It looks a little different to similar restaurants but the main difference is that all diners are given space to enjoy their own company and the meal itself.
The service was attentive, efficient, and relaxing.
The food that we chose was very, very good. It's a good sized menu, plenty of choice, and definitely somewhere that I look forward to visiting again.

The Anchor Inn

High St, Wingham, Canterbury

This is one amazing Oldie but Goldie pub filled up with interesting photos on over the walls and antiquity surroundings complete with outdoor seating and a smoking area.
The food of which I had was the best steak & kidney pudding in my life and my misses had a huge pork succulent chop, both served with creamy mash and fresh veg, both were very plentiful and really delicious, hence the empty plates
The service was fantastic including the young girl (well younger then me) was rushed off her feet, made you feel very welcomed and gave you and a busy restaurant 100%.
This place was alight with happiness and that wasn't only due to a brilliant service, great food and good music but people were talking to each other and hardly to none mobile phones, people were polite with no weatherspoon type reckless regulars trying to get a cheap beer if you get my point and my favourite was this cozy corner with a log burner with two sofas that surrounded it to relax with a coffee to finish your meal. The toilets were lovely and clean and didn't smell at all which is just as important as the meal itself, the price was definitely worth it for what I paid which included two puddings and a couple of drinks.
All in all I give this restaurant 10/10, worth the 45 min drive to get there were guaranteed return visit very soon.

Parking: All within a 10 min walk to the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: There were no children there when we went but I did notice smaller meals designed for small children if they went along with their parents on the menu.

Cafe Des Amis

what an unreal place!!! Most guides I read suggested checking this place out and so glad I did...Such a lovely atmosphere inside, service was fab and menu is pretty big. Going for the lunchtime deal (2 courses for £21 or 3 for £26), I thought I'd get the standard small/average portion. Couldn't have been more wrong - got served an absolute feast of a meal, one that could've easily fed two if not three people. Insane value for money. Quality was incredible too, everything tasted super fresh, well cooked, flavourful. I didn't manage to finish everything but still gave myself a 10/10 food comma, one I'm not yet recovered from some 4 hours later. LOVED IT :)
