FOOD+DRINK RESTAURANTS WITH A View A GOOD MEAL OUT IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL DO FROM TIME TO TIME. IT’S A NIGHT OFF FROM COOKING FOR WHOEVER HAS THOSE DUTIES IN THE HOME, AND IT’S GREAT TO SEE WHAT THE LOCAL ESTABLISHMENTS (AND THOSE FURTHER AFIELD) HAVE TO OFFER. WHETHER YOU’RE OUT FOR A SPECIFIC REASON OR JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THERE IS PLENTY OF CHOICE. WHAT’S MORE, IF YOU ADD GOOD FOOD TO A GREAT ATMOSPHERE AND – SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL THAT NOT ALL RESTAURANTS CAN CLAIM TO HAVE – A GORGEOUS VIEW, YOU REALLY CAN’T GO WRONG. SO HERE ARE SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS WITH THE BEST VIEWS IN KENT; BON APPETIT! The Minnis Bay Bar & Brasserie The Minnis Bay Bar & Brasserie // Birchington The Minnis Bay Bar & Brasserie is stylish, relaxed and has the most gorgeous view of Minnis Bay itself. The food here is British classic with a contemporary twist, meaning that you’ll find things you recognise done in a new and different way. It’s an exciting place to visit, even better when you try the food and sample something from the extensive wine life. The Minnis Bay Bar & Brasserie opens for breakfast and offers lunches and dinners too – there is even a kiosk serving takeaway snacks and ice creams so you can admire the view on the go. The Parade, Birchington CT7 9QP www.theminnis.co.uk 98 Hythe Bay Seafood // Deal Hythe Bay Seafood has three different restaurants and you can find them in Hythe, Deal and Dover. The food is exceptional in all of them, but if it’s the view you’ve come for, Deal is the place to head. Hythe Bay Seafood in Deal overlooks the picturesque seafront, placing it in the heart of the town and in the perfect position for visitors and locals alike to enjoy the food there. Seafood (direct from the day’s catch) is the speciality at this restaurant, of course, but the menu isn’t limited to fish and crustacea. There are many vegetarian and meat options too. 41-45 Beach Street, Deal CT14 6HY www.hythebay.co.uk/deal
