We made an impromptu stop here on our way home from St Leonard's on a Monday morning (arrived just before midday). The staff were efficient and friendly and the food was top notch. We enjoyed the full English breakfast and Vegetarian Rosti (with an extra egg & bacon). Both were beautifully cooked and presented. The coffee was also great, both dairy and oat varieties sampled ; ) Our dog sat peacefully alongside us whilst we ate and we couldn't resist taking home a huge salted caramel brownie and slice of apricot & pistachio frangipane cake. Both of which were again 10/10. Highly recommend Gourmet Kitchen and would definitely visit again when we're in Folkestone. Thank you!

A very tasty brunch, fresh with quality ingredients, not greasy at all. I had a vegan and my partner a full English brunch. We both left happy and very full, with a piece of cake and a sourdough bread to go 😊 The staff is very friendly too. It's not the first and definitely not the last time we will visit!

Excellent full English, happy to accommodate one change and what a delight to find a chef who knows how to cook tomatoes and add herbs to enhance. This is a rarity! The quality of ingredients was excellent, bacon nice and crisp as requested, delicious sausage. Friendly and warm service, clearly a popular place with some tables reserved. I asked for both my drinks (chai and flat white) to be extra hot. They were reasonably hot but not extra hot. I always ask everywhere I go because I can't bare tepid drinks! Highly recommended! Thank you 😊

Nice place. Coffee not quite as good as it could have been though. Tasty avocado on sourdough although hard crusts made it very difficult to cut with the knives provided. Would recommend serving with more suitable cutlery. Will return.

It was our second visit, some time after our first, because the place is always full. That's all you need to know really. The ambience is warm and friendly, tables not too close together and the food is sublime. I think the secret is great ingredients cooked perfectly, which sounds obvious but we've eaten in many places where the bacon is underdone (or overdone) and the sausages don't have an awful lot of meat in them. The staff are lovely and it's a tremendous place to while away the time. Best breakfast in Folkestone (and for quite a few miles around to be truthful).

The very best Coffee served in Folkestone. The foods, the take-away bits n pieces and the cakes are all top notch. All served in a relaxed, modern and stylish environment. It also always seems to be playing some of my favourite music too. This is my favourite place to break my fast.

Just had lunch here at the Gourmet Kitchen. Today I had the mushroom and leek gratin, tried it a couple of weeks ago and it didn’t disappoint today either. My husband had the vegan breakfast which he declared to be delicious. We (friends and family) have been eating here since Corinne opened in 2019 and always come away with a satisfied smile, she and her team are so caring and considerate it’s like visiting friends, and you’re treated to something delicious every time. Our four legged little girl loves it here too, she’s always as welcome as we are. Thanks for a delicious lunch and we’ll see you again soon Corinne x

What a gem this place is. ..first visit here, they listened to what I wanted and executed my scrambled eggs perfectly, first eatery that has ever done this for me. Perfect. Thank you ...also staff here are so nice.
