Angela's

There are lots of seafood restaurants in Margate, but Angela’s is one of the best. It overlooks a bustling square where coffee shops spill out onto the street, but inside Angela’s there is a sense of calm. Grey-blue tables have swirling divots that look like they could’ve been carved by waves, and simple, sea-green panelling is the only thing to distract your eye from the daily changing blackboard menu. Plates of buttery lobster and turbot, and hearty lentils topped with goats’ cheese are ferried between tables. They go back to the kitchen empty, every last drop of sauce swept up by crispy Jersey potatoes and hunks of bread. Glasses of white wine are sipped as chatter and attention turns to sweet strawberries draped with light, creamy sabayon. Angela’s is all about excellent fish dishes, long lunches, and even longer dinners. Check out its sibling seafood restaurant, Dory's, too.
