Thao Thao

A small, characterful Vietnamese spot tucked into Margate Old Town, serving a short, punchy menu of family-recipe dishes with serious flavour. Think banh mi stuffed to the rafters, fragrant noodle bowls and proper Vietnamese coffee that lands like a hug with caffeine.

It’s tiny, casual and full of personality, with window seats perfect for people-watching (and dog-watching, obviously). Ideal for a quick, flavour-packed pit stop between mooching the Old Town and pretending you don’t have sand in your pockets.
