%cr%b%s4GIOVANNI'S RESTAURANT%ft%c*: THE ONE AND ONLY
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: GIOVANNI'S RESTAURANT

    Giovanni's italian restaurant has always been my favourite place to eat, it is also very popular so you have to book early in advance. There menu is huge so its difficult to make your mind up what to eat. the staff are always welcoming and friendly and are italian born, i say this coz how many italian reataurants have you been in where the waiters are english, im not being funny but its just not the same is it. So it defintately has got an italian feel.

    Favorite Dish: My favourites at Giovanni's are fried whitebait, which are tiny little fish deep fried in seasoned flour untill they are crispy. These you eat whole including the head and tails Mmmmmmm Loooovely. Also a mixed seafood platter which is squid, lemon sole, king prawns, skate and sea bass, wow is this tasty or what. Plus there steak is fab and its cooked in garlic and pernod. (ENJOY).

    The east cliff pavillion is a fantastic place to eat your sunday roast because of the panoramic views over the channel to france. This restaurant also does great international nights such as turkish nights, greek nights, italian nights and so on. If your ever in Folkestone and one of these nights is on DO NOT MISS IT .

    Favorite Dish: The east cliff pavillion serves the best sunday roast in the world

  • Restaurant Name: CHUMMYS

    Before i start, this is not a seafood restaurant, but a seafood stall, and its far better and cheeper than a restaurant. This place has been here all my life and you will not taste better crabs or cockles anywhere in England. It is very poplar in the summer, you can buy a plate of prawns or cockles and sit with a pint of beer at the pub oppersitt WHAT COULD BE BETTER

    Favorite Dish: My favorite dish has to be there crabs

    %cr%b%s4KALALA BAR & BUFFET RESTAURANT%ft%c*: STUFF YOURSELF SILLY
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: KALALA BAR & BUFFET RESTAURANT

    Up till a couple of years ago this was a dissused bank, but now its been turned into a chinese all you can eat restaurant. Good value for money, but thats as far as it goes in my opinion, all these sort of buffet restaurants seem to be the same, and they are popping up all over the country. In my view these are great places to go if all you want is stuff your self silly, but as for the culenary side of things, well forgett it

    %cr%b%s4LUCHIANOES: TRIED AND TESTED
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: LUCHIANOES

    This restaurant has been open in Folkestone for as long as i can remember, they are actually freinds of my parents and as it was my fathers birthday a few weeks ago we decided to take him for a meal here. This is the first time we have eaten here for years and although the decore is like going back in time, the food is exeptional. I don't think its been decorated since my last visit in the 70s coz its still got flock wallpaper on the walls LOL, but so long as the food is good who cares

    Favorite Dish: We actually hired the whole restaurant out for 1 night because there was a big party of us and the menu was pre arranged before hand. The owner prepared a whole roast pig for us with all the trimmings, superb stuff and not to be missed

     My family are habitual visitors to Folkestone every year during May. For the last ten years or so, The Lifeboat has been our pub of choice - can you confirm if it's still open? If you could email me at jmhashby@aol.com it would be MUCH appreciated!

     No, we never felt anything our side (South West London)! Sending you all a big hug, hope you get some answers soon x

     The white cliffs look just great and your sense of humour is catching. Your revamped page looks very attractive. I'm sorry your favourite Rotunda is there no more. Will be back to read more.
