About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Ramsgate, Marc-Pierre's Kitchen is a captivating seafood restaurant that masterfully celebrates the freshest catches of the day with a refined, yet welcoming coastal charm. At this intimate venue on W Cliff Arcade, dining transforms into an experience where every bite tells a story of the sea, skillfully crafted by Chef Marc-Pierre himself.

The menu is a delightful symphony of flavors, ranging from tantalizing starters like the Ramsgate Cockle Popcorn—crisply fried morsels bursting with briny sweetness—to the melt-in-your-mouth Free Range Pyefleet Creek Rock Oysters that offer a sublime taste of local waters. Seafood lovers will revel in standout dishes such as the Dungeness Spider Crab Claws accompanied by a delicate yuzu and creamed horseradish dip, or the Ramsgate Wild Line-Caught Sea Bass Ceviche drizzled with bright, spicy Aji Amarillo tiger's milk. For those craving heartier fare, the sirloin steak and traditional fish and chips are executed with equal passion and precision, promising rich and comforting flavors.

Beyond the exceptional seafood, the restaurant also entices with creative small plates like the Local Salt & Sumac Calamari paired with garlic aioli, and the refreshing summer salad featuring crumbled feta over watermelon, cucumber, and pickled onion — a perfect balance of textures and tastes. Sweet endings such as Mum's Apple Pie provide a nostalgic finish, while thoughtfully curated cocktails, including the signature Frozen Summer Berry Daiquiri and the festive Christmas Cocktail, round out the sensory journey.

The atmosphere at Marc-Pierre's Kitchen is intimate and inviting, suffused with warmth and genuine hospitality. Customers frequently describe the staff as attentive and friendly, with the chef himself going above and beyond to accommodate guests’ needs — creating a truly personalised dining experience that lingers in memory long after the meal ends. The stunning seaside backdrop enhances this sense of occasion, making each visit feel like a mini get-away to the coast. Whether you’re indulging in a leisurely lunch or an elegant evening meal, the vibe is effortlessly relaxed yet distinctly special.

Patrons rave about the attention to detail and freshness of every ingredient, with many praising the dedication to quality that ensures only the best produce makes it to the plate. This commitment resonates deeply with guests; as one visitor aptly puts it, “if it’s not exquisite, it’s simply not served.” The seamless fusion of exceptional food, warm service, and a beautiful setting make Marc-Pierre's Kitchen a standout destination for anyone seeking a genuine taste of Ramsgate’s finest seafood.

For seafood aficionados and casual diners alike, Marc-Pierre's Kitchen is more than just a meal—it’s a celebration of the sea’s bounty presented with heart, artistry, and impeccable taste.

    We went out to Marc Pierre's Kitchen in Ramsgate last night and I just wanted to say just how amazing that little restaurant is. Marc went above and beyond to accommodate our group of 5 and was the most wonderful chef and host. The whole team were so incredibly friendly and attentive and the food was out of this world!! Being completely honest -I was a little worried it was going to be a little too fancy for me but even though the food was next level as was the service, i was made to feel at home and incredibly welcomed. I will definitely be recommending the place to visitors and family and will be back real soon myself! Thank you Marc and team for a great culinary birthday experience! (P.s -I can highly recommend the strawberry daiquiri too -but watch out! ...those tasty devils creep up on you )

    This was the perfect place to go for a lunch and have fresh seafood! The staff were extremely friendly, the food was great flavour, beautiful presentation and fulfilling, the view when sitting there was absolutely stunning and overall atmosphere really made you feel you’re on a relaxing holiday near the seaside. I highly recommend this place!

    Had an amazing meal here last night. We arrived quite early and they let us to our table for drinks first. The staff were very friendly and attentive and even helped show us how to get into our crab! Lovely atmosphere and the food was fantastic. If we were local, we would definitely be coming back soon! Recommend the cockle popcorn, yum!

    I have eaten at hundreds of restaurants over the years and this is the first time I have ever given a five star rating. For me, if everything is as expected, that's worthy of three stars. All of Marc's produce is exquisite; if it's not, then he doesn't serve it - simples. Even if that means an item, which is available normally, can't be served today. This attitude shows his dedication to both his craft and his customers. Ramsgate has many restaurants, some of which are very good. Marc-Pierre's Kitchen exceeds 'good' by a considerable margin.

    We found ourselves in Ramsgate after picking up my brother from Gatwick and was looking for a local spot to enjoy seafood. We were sooo lucky to stumble across this place and our tastebuds were having a ball. Everything we ordered was amazing. We loved the cockles popcorn so much we ordered another serving We were sold on the key lime pie because they had both the lemon mousse and lime in it and it was hands down the best pie we’ve ever had. I am so sad because we aren’t any closer. The Valentine’s menu didn’t have a lot of the more seasonal things we saw others try and we would loooove to come by again in summer when lobsters are on the menu! Everyone was absolutely lovely and the whole experience was just amazing. If you’re ever in Ramsgate, this place is a must!!!!
