About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem

  • Good for special occasions
Located directly across from the Turner Gallery, in the heart of Margate. Colina is a fish-forward restaurant, highlighting great local ingredients, with dishes inspired by the sun-kissed Mediterranean.

With daily specials written on the blackboard and a range of smaller and larger seasonal plates, Colina has you covered for a light bite and a glass of wine, or a selection of plates to share.

Join us for a drink in our beautiful basement bar for a pre (or post!) dinner drink from Wednesday to Sunday.

  • Fort Road Hotel x Korean Seaside Party

    25 Apr 2025 only
    Join us on Friday 25th April for day of Korean flavours from Songsoo Kim. A seafood feast inspired by the bustling restaurants of Korea’s seaside towns—where waves meet ice-cold raw fish soups, soy-pickled crab, and charcoal-grilled squid. The menu is £45 per person. Due to the nature of a set menu we are not able to accommodate dietary requests.

    This was a great experience. It was late Sunday afternoon so the restaurant was quiet initially but that was nice. Everything was perfect, the menu was small but well balanced so it was easy to choose something good. For drinks, we had cocktails to start and then English Sparkling Rosé, for food we shared Pardron peppers, sourdough and Cheese Croquettes, then had Grilled Bavette, Rocket & Parmesan Salad and Chicken Breast, White Wine & Garlic Sauce. The food was excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Good value. Looking forward to our next visit.

    Under-staffed and over-priced. Our starters did not arrive, so we moved on to the mains - no apology, just a shrug. A very disappointing and expensive experience. Would suggest this restaurant is avoided.

    Excellent evening out. Very relaxed with a good spread of dishes which were very nice. Service was good. We really like this place for a really nice casual evening out.

    There’s was a lot of things on the table that didn’t taste nice, the lentil starter was literally just plain lentils, beetroot and feta with nothing don’t to it. Everything was under-seasoned and the rouille and greens were almost unpalatable. The croquettes and Bouillabaisse also completely un-seasoned and very bland

    We used to love fort road, the food was wonderful when it first opened and it have dined once before at Colina when it first opened and it was good. However unfortunately we found the food to be very so so. We appreciate that it was the 20.25 menu so the restaurant is limited on what it can spend per head, but it felt very uninspired and not that well cooked or considered. Our feta beetroot and spinach salad just felt like spinach leaves on a plate. The service wasn’t great either. Polishing cutlery whilst we were waiting to order a drink/food. We were really sad it’s gone so downhill from what used to be a wonderful dining experience. Hope it was just because of the menu and the a la carte is better, although sadly I don’t think we’ll be rushing back to try it.

    We booked for Margate Restaurant Week and it was great with a lovely laid back atmosphere. The rice pudding was the highlight dish.
