Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Went to Albarino on Saturday night. This is the third time we have been there now. Each visit has been superb. I find it impossible to fault anything. The dishes are lovingly made with so much respect for the ingredients and authenticity. I have written...a review before and said that it is a little piece of Spain in Broadstairs. In my opinion it is better than tapas I have had in Spain. The food and attentive service is exceptional. If you like tapas food you will love this place. Thank you for another wonderful evening of food and service. 10 out of 10 for both.More

Once again an exceptional meal. Four of us chose from the tapas menu, 3 dishes each, so a wonderful array of flavours and textures - new to me and wonderful were the mejul dates in bacon and the chicken with lentils, both delcicious. My favourites,...meat balls, padron peppers and patats bravas did not disappoint and other dishes on the table such as salt cod fritters and anchovy toast were wonderful. This chef is so creative and has a superb touch. The atmosphere is intimate but relaxed and spotlessly clean and with charming spanish decor. Highly recommend.More

We love this restaurant and we're delighted to return. This time, we enjoyed the Albarino wine, patron peppers with alioli, beautiful prawns cooked in parsley, garlic and lemon, patatas bravas and for dessert enjoyed the delicious Santiago cake the honeycomb and sherry soaked raisins. We...will definitely return.More

A gorgeous little place with a warm and authentic atmosphere. Delicious Tapas menu (the goats cheese is something else), an amazing selection of Albariño (nom) and loads of Sherrie’s to try too. We’ll be back for sure.

Having travelled around Northern Spain earlier this year enjoying some delicious food we were amazed to find the same authentic quality food at Albarino in Broadstairs. The delicious food was accompanied by an excellent bottle of Albarino from their small but interesting (and very reasonable)...wine list. The atmosphere was cosy and convivial and the service was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back. Thank you.More

The food is excellent: authentic delicious Spanish tapas cooked with skill and great ingredients. Even apparently simple dishes like chicken with lentils or gambas and chorizo on rice are transformed by the subtle spices and depth of flavour. The best Spanish food we’ve eaten in...the UK! So much better than the “small plates” or pretend tapas in other local restaurants. The wine list is extensive - so many Spanish wines to try. Service always top notch. We’ll be back…More

This is our favourite restaurant in Broadstairs. The food is just amazing flavourful and beautifully presented, and the service front of house is warm and welcoming. The variety of Tapas on offer is superb. If you have room after tapas my desert recommendation would be...the churros with chocolate sauce they are absolutely delicious. We are forward to dining at Albarino again soon. If we lived in Broadstairs we’d be there every week.More

Love this place! We booked a bar table that added to the experience. All the dishes we chose were beautiful but the Medjool date and bacon pincho with pickled cucumber was absolutely amazing - am still dreaming of it. Can't recommend it highly enough! Will...be going again soon.More

Don't know about cocktails, but menu is on their website. A good wine or a spanish beer probably goes better with their food though. get your chops down there.
