Dear diners, when reserving at this restaurant for lunch, please specify if you are visiting for afternoon tea. Thank you.
Nestled in on the famous Leas of Folkestone, The Cliffe Restaurant is the area’s must-visit destination for delicious British fare and a tipple or two, of course. Under the helm of head chef Amir McNeill, the menu is brimming with locally sourced produce that has been transformed into creative and enticing dishes, sure to delight your palate. Stop into this town centre restaurant for a truly special evening meal, afternoon tea or Sunday lunch and prepare to be impressed with the quality of food coming from this kitchen at this Clifton Road spot. Bookings are, as you would expect, essential.
There’s not much better than taking in the vast panoramic seafront views of Folkestone and feasting on quality British food, washed down with refreshing beer or a glass of wine. Meaning, The Cliffe Restaurant is the ideal destination. The Cliffe Restaurant is housed in a beautifully restored townhouse that doubles as The View Hotel, where you can while the day away over a lazy Sunday lunch with all the trimmings, or pop in for a decadent afternoon tea of homemade scones, finger sandwiches and an array of freshly baked pastries.
As for the a la carte menu (available 5-9pm daily), The Cliffe Restaurant boasts arguably the best British selection around. Kick things off with starters like the pan-fried squid with lightly spiced aubergine caviar and rocket, pan-seared scallops wrapped in pancetta with a mango salsa or soup of the day with warm crusty bread. For main, keep an eye out for the crispy pork belly with British black pudding, potato rosti, celeriac remoulade and apple puree, seafood linguine brimming with mussels, clams, squid and prawns cooked in a white wine sauce with capers and cherry tomatoes, or the vegetarian parmigiana packed with aubergine and roasted vegetables with a side of garlic bread. Whatever your selection, The Cliffe Restaurant in the town centre of Folkestone will leave you thrilled. Do yourself a favour and reserve a table!
Lovely food and very attentive staff, been there quite a few times now and never had a bad experience, highly recommended and it’s one of the few restaurants in Folkestone that’s have maintained standards
Roast dinner really good, choice of meats and food portion. Starter really nice didn’t have room for pudding though. Good service and nice views. Recommended.
Dined from a la carte menu while overnighting in hotel. F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S! Having successfully tried the tapas meu in the bar for lunch we had high expectations for dinner- we were certainly not disappointed! Excellent service, delicious food and great value! Highly recommended, thank you!
