Restaurants in Canterbury

Restaurants abound in England's most famous cathedral city with its cobbled lanes and streets is dominated by the impressive Norman Cathedral, where in 1170 Thomas Beckett was murdered; an act which turned Canterbury into a place of pilgrimage and later inspired Geoffrey Chaucer to write the Canterbury Tales.

Today Canterbury retains its beautiful ancient buildings which are now home to the many shops, bars and restaurants combining both old world charm & cosmopolitan buzz.
