The Tartar Frigate - (Near , South East)

5 /5 Dora Mao: We received the most excellent service dining here! Everyone was so friendly and nice. The atmosphere was very cozy with a nice sea view. The seafood dishes were also really good, we got both the hot starters, mixed seafood share plate and linguini and it was plenty for 4 of us. Thank you for a wonderful meal

5 /5 gun massage: We visited this lovely seaside restaurant located on the first floor, with stunning beach views right outside the window. I highly recommend going around sunset for the most perfect scenery. Even during the heatwave in the UK summer, the air conditioning was excellent, making it very comfortable to dine indoors. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and the food is absolutely delicious. We ordered the hot seafood platter, lobster pasta, and pork belly – all of them were amazing. Highly recommended!

5 /5 Jackie Halliday: Another beautiful meal at this restaurant. Cooked beautifully and piping hot. Lovely friendly staff who go above & beyond. The best fish & chips I’ve tasted. Will be back when I’m in Broadstairs again.

5 /5 Nigel Butler: I grew up in Broadstairs over 50 years ago and the Tartar Frigate became my local. During a recent visit with my daughter I decided to book a table at the restaurant. I was delighted that the pub and restaurant seem better than ever. Booking online was easy and we received a warm, friendly welcome. Our waitress, Lemini, was charming and helpful and seated us at a lovely table overlooking the harbour. There is a cosy, traditional ambience in the restaurant and service is attentive but unhurried. They have a nice varied menu and a good range of specials. We chose the lobster linguine and grilled salmon special, both of which were delicious and well presented. I am looking forward to my next visit to Broadstairs and cant wait to book at this wonderful restaurant again.

5 /5 Mama Piini: ✨ A Coastal Dining Experience Worth Traveling For ✨ My recent dinner at The Tartar Frigate in Broadstairs was nothing short of exceptional — the kind of refined, high-caliber cuisine one might expect in an elegant five-star Parisian dining room, yet delivered from the most delightfully unassuming setting: a quaint restaurant perched just above a pub along the seafront. This juxtaposition alone sets the stage for a memorable experience — but it was the food and service that made the evening truly outstanding. I began with the raw oysters, which were nothing less than sublime. Impeccably fresh, gorgeously briny, and presented with care, they captured the very essence of coastal dining. Each oyster was a perfect balance of delicacy and depth, setting a remarkably high tone for the rest of the meal. The trio of bread that followed was an unexpected highlight. Each variety offered its own distinct flavor profile, but the standout was undeniably the loaf studded with baked-in figs — a wonderfully nuanced touch that elevated the entire course. Paired with what I can confidently say was the finest olive oil I’ve tasted anywhere, this simple offering became unforgettable. For my main course, the king prawn risotto was executed with precision and finesse. The texture was flawlessly creamy, the flavors rich yet balanced, and the prawns themselves tender and perfectly cooked. My glass of Pinot Grigio paired beautifully, enhancing the subtleties of the dish without overwhelming them. Service throughout the evening was warm, attentive, and thoroughly polished — the kind of hospitality that quietly enhances every moment. Combined with the cozy, intimate ambiance and the charm of its seafront setting, The Tartar Frigate delivers a dining experience that far exceeds its modest exterior. Whether you’re a local or a traveler exploring the Kent coastline, this little gem is absolutely worth a detour. Exceptional cuisine, thoughtful service, and coastal character come together here in a way that is both world-class and wonderfully inviting.
