Not recommended for the quality of food (unless you like the basic, low-quality, chain pub grub,​ and Brexit) but great views. If you can don't buy a drink here but just use the toilets. Not dog friendly. #neverspoons.

Entirely vegan. When vegan options aren’t enough, and want to eat somewhere where no meat is served, Margate has great options. The location of this restaurant is moving so do check out their latest information on their Facebook profile.

Not been but have tried other restaurants the owners used to manage. Small plates that they will veganise some of if you ask. Probably best to book a table and mention you are vegan at the point of booking.

Set on Margate Main sands, looks like mostly fish on the menu, nothing vegan. But if you eat fish then they seem to offer beach BBQs, which might be fun.
