A luxurious spot designed and built by Vacuum Studio featuring a highly pigmented colour palette inspired by our global travels. Lighting is low, volume can get high and the intimate booth seating is a perfect facilitator for conversation.
Our menu is comprised of snacks, appetisers, larger plates and deserts made entirely in-house* and their flavour profiles are amplified with chillis, herbs and citrus being heavily inspired by Los Angeles' multiculturalism.

Our restaurant is compact and cosy with no extra space to accommodate prams and large dogs - if you do need to bring your dog to dinner please ensure they are comfortable in a busy restaurant atmosphere and are happy sitting on your lap or fit comfortably under your table. We welcome children in the restaurant however we do not have highchairs or a children’s menu. We have tailored the room to provide a fun, grown-up and safe space for all our guests and team.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

We started with the chips and dip, this was nice but nothing special about it, beans were fairly flavourless. We then ordered the £12 crab tostada, which was such a small portion! Tasted amazing and the crab was really fresh but not worth a whole £12. The steak tacos were disappointing, the steak itself was nice but didn’t have much else to it. The construction of the dish was also really annoying, you get two corn tortillas and then all of the steak pilled on top of them both so to be able to have two tacos you needed to take half of the steak from the top and slide it below. Overall, I wouldn’t go back but others may enjoy it.

High Dive was brilliant - my friends and I went on Saturday night and had a great time. The tacos and tostadas were fantastic, as were the the potatoes. The staff were great too.

Absolutely outstanding meal at High Dive for Margate Restaurant Week. The pineapple taquito and crab tostada were standout. Gorgeous interiors, great ambience and playlist.

A delish plate of fresh and tasty food. Incredible interiors which welcomed you from the high street to another world. No detail is missed from the staff approach to the sweets with the bill. Will happily return to highdive over and over. And he quesadillas are a proven hangover revival cure.
