Café & Restaurant
A café by day, with evening chef residencies by night and music and aperitivo in between, Louie On Sea is an exciting addition to Margate's burgeoning food and drink scene.
Now in its second year as Turner's café, Louie On Sea offers supper clubs, chef residencies, a locally sourced menu with delicious and healthy choices for all, and a relaxed music-filled environment inspired by its stunning views of Margate Main Sands.
Menus
Louie On Sea offers a locally sourced menu with delicious, wholesome choices for everyone. During the day, we serve hot beverages and fresh food, and in the evenings we welcome guests for cocktails and intimate supper clubs.
We are committed to supporting local suppliers, including our Margate-based coffee partners, Skinny Dip Roasters, who have an impressive social mission focusing on women growers.
