Canterbury is home to a fantastic selection of independent restaurants, offering everything from rustic Mediterranean cooking to contemporary European dining, authentic Italian cuisine and locally sourced seasonal dishes. Just a short stroll from The Falstaff, you’ll find Café du Soleil, a long-standing Canterbury favourite set within a beautiful historic mill on the River Stour, and sister restaurant Café des Amis, renowned for its vibrant Mexican cuisine. For modern European plates and expertly crafted cocktails, Franc offers a stylish dining experience in the heart of the city. For fresh local produce and artisan food, The Goods Shed is a must-visit, while Posillipo’s serves traditional Italian dishes in a lively setting. For flavours of the Eastern Mediterranean, A La Turka offers an extensive menu of Turkish specialities.
