Sete Margate

Sète brings a more Parisian, wine-bar energy to Margate, with the feel of somewhere you go when you want the drinks to be as interesting as the room. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle while someone else enjoys the French-bistro atmosphere.

It describes itself as a wine bar, restaurant and bottle shop, with small-plate style and a drinks list that gets praised for being thoughtful without feeling showy. The vibe is grown-up and relaxed, and the space suits calmer dogs who can settle near their humans without getting tangled in table legs or food service.

A lovely pick for a more considered food-and-wine stop with real charm, and useful when the weather turns and you still want somewhere stylish to sit with a dog and a glass of something good.
