Bay Restaurant at the Sands Hotel, Margate

Turner Contemporaray Cafe

With unparalleled views over the beach at Margate, the Bay Restaurant
within the Sands Hotel is something special. Not only can diners be treated
to a panoramic view of the seafront, but the food is second to none –
everything added together makes this the perfect place to eat. Open for
breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner for both residents and nonresidents alike, the Bay Restaurant is welcoming and charming. The chef,
Ryan Tasker, offers a modern European menu inspired by both local and
seasonal produce.

Turner Contemporary is one of the UK’s leading art galleries. Situated on
Margate seafront, the gallery’s café has panoramic sea views overlooking
Margate Bay and serves locally sourced, seasonal food throughout the year.
The café serves a variety of delicious dishes, from cheese boards and salads
to homemade soups, warming specials and a selection of cakes all made
by our skilled chefs . All produce is locally sourced where possible, making
connections with the unique location of the café on the North Kent coast.

Examples of his cooking include potted Kentish rabbit, pickled girrole
mushrooms and warm toast; butternut squash tortellini, buttered kale, wild
mushroom, baby onions and a sage cream; and confit belly of pork, roast
parsnip, black cabbage, candied apple, vanilla potato beignets with a split
ginger jus.

Alongside its seasonal menus and weekly vegetarian specials the café also
offers a Turner Afternoon Tea, and throughout the summer months there
is ice cream on Turner Contemporary’s outdoor terrace.
