Dover Restaurants

This pub is in a village about 3 miles from Dover and is worth a visit especially if you are hungry. They have special nights like Mexican when they serve the most wonderful fajitas. they have steak nights serving 16oz steak and the trimmings. They aso do agood Sunday lunch. They also have an a la cart menu which has a wide range to choose from. This restaurant now has new owners and the food is better than ever and the service is that of a top restaurant.

Favorite Dish: The Mexican nights have always been my favourite.

I think this restaurant is better if you go in groups of people rather than couples.
The entertainment is amateur but still funny (especially after a couple of drinks!)
It is a set price menu of £20 per head with drinks extra.
You can choose from a typical greek menu.

Favorite Dish: The Dolmades (Stuffed Vine leaves) were very good.
RESTAURANT NOW CLOSED. TIP HERE FOR WHAT WE USED TO HAVE!

At last Dover has a new restaurant and it seems that it is going to be a hit with locals and tourists alike.
It is run by 2 Italian brothers and the menu is a mix of fish and meat. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and the service is very good.
The place itself seats about 60 people on two floors.
THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CHANGED HANDS BUT HAS A GOOD NAME TOO.

Favorite Dish: The cod with a herb crust melted in the mouth.

I'm not a great fan of fish and chip shops. Not that I don't like fish and chips(I am5 British, after all): it's just that it's one of those ultra-simple dishes that done perfectly is sublime but has the potential to be wholly inedible if done badly, which it often is. Batter tasting of stale oil, fish devoid of all memory of the sea. All the half-eaten portions of soggy chips I've binned. The mean sachets of sauce.

None of the above here, I'm pleased to say. Firm tasty fish, perfect batter, chips made from potatoes.

La Scala is a good solid family-run Italian restaurant offering the usual suspects. Nothing fancy, but the food is good, the portions generous (I couldn't fit in a whole portion of spaghetti and would go for a starter portion unless I was ravenous), the prices reasonable and the house wines most drinkable. Absolutely does what it says on the box.

I did find a crevice in what one of my children has described as his 'pudding side' for a portion of their home-made icecream, which was truly excellent. All you'd expect from Italians. Viva Emmanuel, Re D'Italia!

Chris and I came here on the advice of friends and wow they were so right about the food here. Served by young ladies with a smile, the food is of first class quality and we will certainly return here soon. The menu is not huge but there is a veggie option and fish options too if you do not want meat. The portions are good and the wine selection is also good.
Do not be put off by the outside! It looks very run down but once inside it is very tasteful and trendy.

Favorite Dish: My favourite has to be the ice cream dessert that comes on a little board with little cones of home made ices. Flavours such as lavender with white chocolate is enough to tempt most people.

The feel of the place is cosy and they often have jazz evenings. The seafood can be pricey but is excellent. Ther service is good but can be slow in the summer. The seating area outside is lovely and you can watch the world go by enjoying a good glass of wine or beer etc. They now have space heater so you can enjoy being outside for longer.
Despite recent bad press the restaurant has changed hands I can vouch for the excellent food and service that we had lsat night (13.05.06)
(The jugs of Pimms are great too!)
Bookings for the restaurant are recommended.

Favorite Dish: I have never had anything not worth having!!!

The food is all fresh and the chef cerainly knows how to put it altogether!. The menu is ambitious but not over the top. The restaurant itself is intimate and cosy. It is the kind of place you would go to for that special night out.

Favorite Dish: The starter of tartlet with roasted peppers and tomato ice cream (mmm) was so different and so lovely. The main course of pork was good and the dessert of Earl Grey Creme Brulee was such a good end to wonderful meal.
