EXCELLENT Based on 841 reviews Shoeless196314 August 2025Verified Absolutely amazing! Didn't see this coming... supper with an old friend who kindly treated us. What an amazing venue! You wouldn't see it from the outside, but inside was a labrynthine, culinary heaven and easily one of the best restaurants we've had the privilege of visiting this year. Simple-ish menu with every item done perfectly. Even lumpy mash... that is a COMPLIMENT btw to show it was the real stuff, not whipped up paste. Mrs Shoeless had a humungous starter of prawns so stood no chance with the linguine. We gentlemenfolk both did the lovely snake and pygmy pie. I was the only one polite enough to have a pud, a scrumptious banoffee inspired waffle. I didn't see the wine list but we shared two bottles including the first muscadet I have ever been able to drink. Excellent. Service friendly, efficient and tolerant of the idiotic 66% of our party who had met some hours earlier in a local hostelry. Overall, best in Deal we've seen and likely a much wider area. Must try! Wyn G10 July 2025Verified Good value I have been to this attractive location and I think then it was a little more up market. Let me emphasize that the food that we had was excellent and the service prompt and attentive. The starting bruscheta was particularly tasty. Portions were more than ample. Given the decor it can be a little noisy. Karen23 June 2025Verified Best Espresso Martini …. Having passed here a few times, we decided to go for cocktails after hearing a really good review from family. We sat in the bar area, but could have gone upstairs to the lounge area. I had the espresso martini which I would say is the best one I have tried - it was not too ‘coffee ish’ , just the right amount & plenty of vodka! My mum had the Bloody Mary which she said was plentiful, delish, quite spicy and went down well! Robert was charming and friendly as were the two bar staff. The food coming out the kitchen looked lovely, so will be trying that too at some point. This is a very cute little bistro & bar, with plenty of seating upstairs & as mentioned has a lounge area for just drinks. Liz P22 May 2025Verified A little gem not to be missed! Situated in St Georges Passage, this little gem is secluded and off the beaten track, you arrive and step into a cosy intimate bar area. We were greeted by the owner who immediately made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble, they provided a high chair in the restaurant for our Grandson. The food was ordered and the waiting time was just right after we had enjoyed a drink at the bar. A great selection of wines, zero beer and zero gin also available. We had the lunchtime 'light bites' menu, which was varied and the portions were ample. Presentation was that of some fine dining restaurants. The deserts were also excellent and presented beautifully - I recommend the blueberry cheesecake which came with a side order of ice cream! The menu pricing is just right in my opinion. I loved everything about the decor and ambiance. Exceptionally clean and well thought out displaying local artwork which is for sale. A truly delightful experience for every occasion. I can't wait to go back one evening for the Steak & Magic night.......... 5 Stars and well deserved! Pollyann10 May 2025Verified Excellent all round Lovely small restaurant with great ambience. Welcoming staff and excellent service. I had salmon and husband had curry - both cooked and presented to perfection.
