We stayed in the Hotel above El Sol and were instantly drawn in by the delicious smell. We had multiple incredible meals here, and felt extremely welcomed by the warm and friendly staff. Cannot recommend enough!

Fantastic authentic tapas. Everything we tried was outstanding for flavour and quality. The staff and owner provide a wonderful service. Warm welcome as soon as you step through the door. Great atmosphere with comfy well spaced tables. Wish I lived closer. I'd eat there all the time. Central location. Recommend you book well in advance as tables there are in high demand.

When visiting Canterbury, it definitely can’t be missed! As a former resident of Canterbury, El Sol takes the top spot in restaurants I would recommend to anyone visiting. A local family business that really know how to deliver in all aspects. The service is impeccable and every customer is met with the warmest welcome and smile, especially from manager Essa. The vibe of this establishment truly reflects comfort and friendliness, which accompanied with the incredible food ensures that it is the perfect dining experience. Chef Jerry visits every table to check that all customers are satisfied with the meals they are having and is more than happy to discuss menu items and listen to queries. This bespoke waiting experience is a welcomed change from other restaurants and truly creates a wonderful dining experience.

The chef is absolutely amazing!!! He’s from Greece and worked as a cook for over 30 years. He’s expert in Spanish cooking and his homemade passionate fruit cheesecake is a must try. We arrived in a rainy afternoon and chef greeted us with a tour to The Sun Hotel, where Charles Dickens stayed when he visited Canterbury. You have to come dine in El Sol

Had an amazing stay at the hotel and enjoyed the complimentary breakfast both mornings. Wonderful restaurant with amazing food. Highly recommend the Jamon and the fried manchego. I would give 10 stars if I could!

Had a super and great value Christmas Jolly Girls outing at El Sol, in Sun Yard off Sun Street! The chef was very welcoming as were the team of staff that served us! We had 6 dishes between 4 of us! It came to £45 pp including tip and 2 bottles of House red wine & two cocktails before the meal, and we were given a complimentary slice of home made cheesecake with passion fruit sauce it was delicious.So pleased I took a taxi and didn't risk drink driving, on the way home we saw a chap who'd been pulled in on the Rheims Way and was being breathalised? Bad idea especially this time of year!Stay safe out there this Christmas a taxi cost £8 each way from home to the city!

Perfect place for lunch in Canterbury’s busy spot. The dishes are varied from meat to seafood based. Enjoy everything we ordered - octopus tapas, beef steak, croquettas, shrimp tapas etc. Lovely waiters and atmosphere inside. Was not busy at all, so makes up for a great destination for a quiet lunch in the busy centre.Would visit again next time I’m in Canterbury

I am writing this review from our amazing room in the Sun Hotel just above the restaurant. The food is sublime; the best meal I've eaten in a very long time. The seafood was amazingly flavourful and we also particularly enjoyed the chorizo and the steak slices (forgotten the name...). The mango cheesecake dessert was a perfect ending to the meal. The servers are quick and attentive and polite and the chef/owners are also super friendly and personable. 6 stars is not enough!
