Thai Orchid

You'll find yourself tucked into W Cliff Arcade, that stretch between the seafront and the high street where locals actually eat rather than tourists. Thai Orchid doesn't bother with fancy plating or Instagram angles — it's straightforward, honest Thai food that punches above what you'd expect from a Ramsgate strip. The room's unpretentious, a bit dated in that comforting way, and packed most nights with regulars who've clearly worked out this is where to come when you want curries that taste authentic and noodles that don't feel like an afterthought.
