I had a delightful lunch at "Samphire" in Whitstable! This dog-friendly restaurant offered a welcoming atmosphere. The Focaccia was a perfect balance of crispy and soft, complemented by the roasted garlic. The Mussels, served with handmade bread, were fantastic, and the Oysters were both tasty and "meaty." A great dining experience overall!
Honestly I went to Oyster Company first because it is popular and famous. But they are just too arrogant and refuse people to walk in. Fine.
Then we walked into this cozy seafood restaurant. We ordered a dozen of oysters to share because they are fresh. So satisfying. I ordered a fish pie. I can find green peas and salmon and some white fish baked inside smashed potatoes and cheese. I love it. My friends ordered lunch special which is a grey mullet in red chilli sauce, and their signature mussels. Surprisingly amazing and will definitely come back again!
Passed by this town impromptu, didn't have any reservation. Was told that have to wait for 1 hour for a table, I'm glad that i waited. The oysters i tried were super fresh and to my liking. And the Calamari was cooked just perfectly that the meat was still juicy and not hard. The service was promptly and staff were very welcoming. They have an extensive drinks list which can suit most people. Would come back to try other dishes.
