Dukes is a characterful bar & bistro nestled at the heart of Margate’s historic Old Town.

Serving refined French-inspired bistro classics including indulgent fish pie, locally sourced moules frites, fresh Provençale style salads & succulent signature burgers, alongside a lovingly considered selection of wines, Kentish beers, house cocktails & Champagne by the glass.

Located just off the seafront, a short walk from Dreamland & the Turner Contemporary, amongst a peppering of charming boutiques, bars & restaurants, Dukes offers guests a relaxed moment of timeless escapism from the busy Market Place.

In summer, the Garden Grill, with sprawling Mediterranean sun terrace, provides a peaceful oasis from the hustle and bustle of the Main Sands, serving crab frites, burgers, local draught beer and refreshing spritz.

    We went recently on a Sunday with our two children, two friends and their toddler. The staff were helpful and accommodating, the roast was fantastic and the ambience was lovely - they had a pianist playing. Will definitely return.

    Exceptionally good bistro menu, deliciously strong cocktails, varied wine list and stunning decor. Can’t recommend highly enough! Can’t wait to come back again soon - maybe for a Sunday roast as they come highly recommended by our friends! LOVE Dukes!
