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.

    Ambience and location great but, after paying surplus for ‘Superior’ room, it was disappointing - very small TV, bathroom floor wet, no toilet seat lid etc., and the food was not cheap for what was served - only 1 piece of toast for the Avocado toast, watery porridge & eggs not fully cooked.

    Thank you for your feedback. We have taken on board your feedback about the breakfast. The room you stayed in is one of our most popular rooms, however does include some features that make it accessible for a variety of guests. I am sorry that you found those inconvenient. If you join us again in the future, do let us know. We can advise on our different rooms and find you one more to your liking. Warm regards,

    This was our first visit to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food choice was varied with lots of sharing options as well as larger dishes for the individual. There was also a good choice of drinks. Our waitress was also very friendly and attentive. The restaurant isn’t very big but that adds to the cosy ambience. Well worth a visit.

    A beautiful space has been created for diners in the Fort Road Hotel. Serving tapas style dishes, the menu is not extensive, but this means everything is of an excellent standard. Highly recommended

    Poor service, bad body odour with the waiter. All small plates arrived together. No offer of dessert or coffee. Won’t be going back
    Colina at The Fort Road HotelResponded on 23 September 2024
    I am so sorry to hear that you didn't have a positive visit to the restaurant. I hope that our other reviews can show you that this was an isolated incident and doesn't demonstrate the great service and food that we pride ourselves upon. We would love to hear more about your visit and welcome you back to the restaurant. I hope that we can show you a completely different experience.
