Leonora's is the spot in Canterbury for afternoon tea and great for a date or to visit with friends…read moreor even the family. This place is children friendly too! Well what can I say, the decor was warming and oh so inviting. Not to mention clean and cosy. The owner is a lovely lady, very kind and was happy have a friendly chat whilst telling us about her homemade brownies which were absolutely dangerously delicious (and of course the plate was cleaned with not even a speck of brownie left). The whole afternoon tea selection of sandwiches, tarts, cakes and not forgetting the refreshing and rich pot of tea was all homemade or locally sourced and was oh so tasteful, especially the melt in your mouth scones served with clotted cream and thick jam. Be sure to visit and you wont be disappointed. We cannot wait to return. Be sure to keep an eye out on Groupon for an afternoon tea voucher this place sometimes has offers on there.

Fantastic! A skip…read moreaway from Canterbury West rail station is a wonderful indoor market offering nooks of various goods. On various days and hours there are bustling people shopping for fruits, veg, meats, and other goods. While on other hours the lower level offers tables to munch on lunch items such as freshly made sandwiches, tea, coffee and desserts. Upper level offers proper dining with a rustic feel. Need a loo, that is here too! Overall a delightful experience with several visits during my stay in town

I was referred to as 'You' a number of times during one meal, but this was done without malice or distaste and only added to the charm of the place! The food is tasty and simple, although they were a little heavy on the garlic (maybe on account of having such a high population from the continent?). The prices were also reasonable for Canterbury. As the other reviewer mentioned it was very busy, turning away a number of people on a Saturday afternoon. Nice looking selection of cakes / puddings too, but I didn't try any. Most importantly though - The coffee was excellent!

The prices are really reasonable considering some of the places in Canterbury and their service is very relaxed (but not in a sloppy way). If you fancy a coffee or just want to rest your feet whilst you're out shopping, Boho is the place to go.

The set menu was a steal, with food being really really tasty. It was five of us, and they were serving relatively quick, however, you could tell they were busy as I had to ask for cutlery twice. The venue had another lunch set menu- slightly higher price, but 'upgraded' choices, also a good deal for those looking to treat themselves.

When we got there the hostess told us it was full and no tables available. ??? So we literally walked outside, got on our phone and made an online reservation and turned around and walked back in. Surprised, she walked us to our seats, past many empty tables. That set us up for the night in a odd way. Not exactly their fault but they sat us next to an extremely loud table that never left. I can't even remember if we enjoyed our food because we were so annoyed by our surroundings. So, overall, not a good experience for us.

There were a number of good vegetarian options, and prices seemed reasonable given the quality and overall dining experience. Yes, it's a chain, but it's a good one. Now that I'm back in the US, I find myself wishing there were a Cafe Rouge like this one nearby. It's not especially fancy or trendy, it was just very good and simple. Although I liked everything I tried, my personal favorite was the champignons a l'ail (mushrooms on toast, basically). I'm not sure if all Cafe Rouge locations are as good as this one, but I'll definitely be checking out others in the future.

Thumbs down from this American, as these were the worst pancakes I've ever had. This cafe claims…read moreall their ingredients are shipped from the US to "make" their pancakes (as if somehow American flour is different from British), but I'm not buying that these pancakes are homemade at all. They taste and have the texture of grocery store pancakes. You're not fooling me. Also, beef chili and maple syrup on pancakes at the same time? Salmon and cream cheese on pancakes? YUCK. That is just a crime against food. It's not hard to make a load of buttermilk pancake batter. If you're going to put a huge sign in the window saying you're an "American Pancake House" the pancakes need to live up to that claim. American expats and travelers alike: I'd advise avoiding this cafe for breakfast. In addition the eggs were a bit rubbery and the hash browns were fine but nothing to write home about. Service was a bit slow but very friendly.

This cozy and intimate coffee bar serves some amazing breakfast, and they also serve traditional American breakfast which can be a great comfort when traveling abroad. Their waffles and bacon and crepes are very delicious. The service was prompt and very friendly. All of these combined make for a great experience at this restaurant, now allow me to add the cherry on top. If you visit the top restroom you will see some signange that talks about the long history of this building, as a history nerd I totally fell in love with this place and will HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone!
