Lilie's

Lillie's in Margate is a relaxed, sea-facing tapas restaurant up in Cliftonville, bringing Spanish-style small plates to the Margate coast with a few playful twists. Dogs are welcome inside, where resident dog Hazel is often on greeting duty and takes her role very seriously. Expect croquettes, seafood, tortillas and bold, flavour-led dishes designed for sharing, all in a warm, unfussy setting with proper neighbourhood energy.

It's the kind of place where the table fills up fast and nobody orders sensibly. Best for long, chatty meals where the dog settles under the table and you accidentally order "just one more thing" three times.

A proper dog-friendly tapas spot where paws and people can enjoy the coastal atmosphere together, with sharing plates, seafood and that rare combination of Spanish flavour and Margate charm.
