5 /5 Charlie Hamilton: Having visited Perico Lounge several times over the past fortnight, for everything from morning coffee and brunch to light lunch and supper, I feel genuinely qualified to say: this place is wonderful.
The décor is wild and eclectic in the best possible way, with some lovely art prints that reward a good wander around. The attention to detail extends everywhere, including the ladies bathroom, which is always impeccable (whoever does the cleaning deserves a raise!).
But what really sets Perico Lounge apart is the team. The staff here are warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. They remember small details about you, they go above and beyond to make your visit enjoyable, and they absolutely spoil my dog, which naturally wins them top marks.
The food is excellent. The soups are outstanding, the toasties are superb, and everything Ive tried has exceeded expectations. This isnt trying to be fine dining, and it doesnt need to be. It delivers exactly what you want from a neighbourhood lounge, and then some.
Perico Lounge has quickly become a homely, welcoming space for so many of us in Ramsgate. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good food, great coffee, and even better hospitality.
