Description

Housed inside a former boat shed on the harbour wall, Sargasso really does have the perfect seaside location. Watch the tide come in as you sit back and enjoy the seasonally changing menu, which – just like sister restaurant Brawn in London – puts quality produce front and centre. In this case, that means a bounty of delicious fresh seafood, offering clean, powerful flavours in each smartly pared-back dish. The menu is designed for sharing, allowing you to try as much as possible, while the wine list leans towards natural and biodynamic options.

Review summary

Sargasso, located on Margate’s harbour, offers modern small plates with scenic views. Food quality receives mixed feedback: while many praise the flavour of dishes like chickpeas and seafood, others criticize small portions and limited menu choices, leading to dissatisfaction with value. Service is generally friendly and skilled, though pacing can be rushed during busy periods, and some staff interactions are described as less warm. The atmosphere features lovely outdoor seating, but indoor high stools are noted as uncomfortable for extended stays, and noise levels can be an issue. Overall, the dining experience is defined by excellent views and creative cuisine, balanced against concerns regarding portion sizes, comfort, and consistency in service.

Suitable for visitors seeking harbour views and modern small plates, with attention to seating comfort.
