FAULTLESS! Visit this restaurant if you like eating local, seasonal produce of the highest quality - prepared by one of Kent’s best chefs. Service was attentive without being intrusive and every single dish that arrived at our table was executed perfectly. Couldn’t be happier with our experience. Absolutely superb!
Our first visit with friends for Sunday lunch, and a great time was had by all. A small menu as changes pretty much daily, as well as a set 2/3 course Sunday lunch menu. The Cuttlefish risotto is was fab! The shoulder of lamb and pork tenderloin dishes were very good too. Excellent wine list and we were royally looked after by Ken & Ian the front of house team. Highly recommend if you love great food, service and atmosphere.

Recently discovered this restaurant, and planned a trip to Kent with this as the focal point. To make a day of it we popped into the Hornby Visitors Centre first.
Great warm welcome on arrival, slightly early for our 1pm booking. Offered drinks, whilst we looked at the options, either a two/three course prix fixe or an A la Carte.
Good chat over allergies and what we could have, and what if any adjustments would be needed.
In the end we had
- confit new season leeks with goats curd, candied walnuts
- ham hock terrine with celeriac remoulade and toast (GF)
- gin cured trout, golden beets and apple.
Mains
Monkfish, fennel and burnt orange
Portobello butternut squash and poached duck egg.
Doddington lamb middle Jerusalem artichoke,
Hispi cabbage and roast spuds as sides
These selection covered 75% of the the menu of starters and mains. These were frankly outstanding, brilliantly cooked, well presented and really tasty. The meal was an absolute joy to eat.
Staff are keen to ensure everything is enjoyable and set us up for the dessert options, panne cotta, orange cake and cheese. These were just as good as what had gone before.
Even had a chat with the husband and wife chef, and front of house, making the day even better
Thanks Quince team a special day.
Absolutely fantastic spot - food and wine was excellent. It's pricey, but pretty confident in saying it's well worth it. Really vibrant atmosphere the night we went - probably not one for a quiet, romantic meal but we enjoyed it being lively and always fun to look into an open kitchen. Menu was small but good selection and the quality of the cooking was superb. The venison especially was great and I can't think of the last time I had something so good. Wine list was really good; you'll find something you like and for the price, felt like you were getting more than you'd typically pay for. As always with fancy restaurants, it was a disappointing beer selection, although what they had was perfectly drinkable (just wish restaurants would put the effort into the beers like they did wines!). Service was excellent. Well worth a look if you find yourself in Thanet - out performed a lot of the 'big' names in Margate as far as I'm concerned.
Was excited about trying this new, high-end restaurant. The service was great, with our waiter taking time to explain what was in each dish. Everything was beautifully presented. Starters of apricots, ham hock terrine, main of lamb, and Eton mess dessert. My lamb was perfectly cooked and the texture of each item was perfect. I found most of the flavours quite subtle for my taste as I love striking savoury flavours, but I think what you have here is good food cooked well, rather than attention - grabbing palate sensations. The only fly in the ointment for me was the 12.5% service charge added to the bill, for just two diners. This really is not the done thing in Britain unless you have a large group, and I resented it as Quince is already priced at the very highest point for the area.
I have just had the best dinner, as the first guests, on their first day, and I am definitely returning. The food was exquisite, the wine was superb and the staff were so friendly. I would recommend this restaurant so much, as I said I am going back. Thank you for the lovely evening.
Lovely ambience and delicious food is served in this Westgate restaurant where the emphasis is on great food and chat. Tables are well spread out so you can have an intimate dinner without a neighbouring table overhearing!
My hake, fennel and mussels in a rich tomato sauce was a definite 5 stars, served with crunchy roast spuds and chargrilled cabbage. Leave room for desserts though they are dreamy! Me and my foodie friend shared the chocolate torte- incredibly rich so half suffices and the quince creme brulee- utter heaven.
A great new restaurant opposite Westgate Station, with attentive and staff, that make you feel like a VIP, go and pay them a visit
Lovely restaurant - food is fabulous - confit trout was delicate and perfectly cooked as was the lamb and duck. The service was welcoming and friendly with great suggestions for wine. Will definitely return.

Oh. My. Word.
A good selection of cocktails and wines and non alcoholic drinks.
The menu changes regularly and didn't disappoint: locally sourced, seasonal and cooked to perfection for both vegetarians, pescatarians and meat eaters.
The food was delicious, the service attentive but not rushed.
Great attention to detail from the fresh flowers, linen napkins and the bill delivered in a card of the restaurant drawn by a local artist.
A really lovely evening.
