Such a beautiful restaurant in Rye serving beautiful and bold food packed with flavour! We came here for a hens weekend and had the best time! They gave us the best seat in the house which was a beautiful circle table by the window overlooking the monastery. Once the sun set, the fairy lights came on outside and it became even more magical. This was such a beautiful dining experience, I couldn’t recommend Marcos more! Book a table and thank me later xx

This was such a pleasant surprise. From the outside this restaurant doesn't stand out at all and would be easy to walk past. But when you go in you enter one of the most lovely restaurants I've ever been too. Beautifully decorated, which creates a wonderful atmosphere. The staff were brilliant, everyone was friendly, efficient and helpful. And last, by not least, the food and cocktails were delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I had trepidations about eating at Marco‘s initially, mainly because I thought it was a typical Greek food joint serving kebabs and they’re like. I couldn’t have been so wrong! We were greeted incredibly warmly the minute we walked through the door amazing friendly staff welcome Reception seated to a delightful table where we had a full view of the room. We were offered drinks given menus and great recommendations are made by a wonderful server. The food arrive prompting, incredibly tasty. We went for the small plates where we had peppers, corn ribs, Tiki, chicken. Not forgetting the tender stem broccoli as well. The food was absolutely amazing: the corn ribs I had never tasted anything as delicious before. As for the decor very interesting! You need to see it to believe it although I hope some of our pictures will demonstrate. The chef in his team are hosted downstairs his name is Marco and they are incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend this place which is affordable, great food, great atmosphere and of a good place to visit.

We had a wonderful time at Marcos. Our first dinner in Rye and the food was exquisite with my girlfriends. The drinks , food were top notch and better than what I have had in London. The chicken skewers were the best and we ordered second . Amazing

Had a great meal here, very tasty and good size portions. Venue itself is welcoming and comfortable, well decorated with paintings all over the walls. Cocktails were excellent. Staff even better- super friendly with lots of smiles. Very attentive for the most. Bit of a wait between starter and main but I like that when out with friends. Good chance to catch up. Cost was approx 90pp with 2/3 courses, 3 drinks each. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Marco Restaurant is a fantastic place that reflects quality in every detail! The food is delicious and beautifully presented, and they maintain the highest standards of hygiene. The service team is friendly and professional, always ready to provide the best experience for their guests. Additionally, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a great time with friends or family. I will definitely visit again!

Very impressed admittedly it was busy as it was the first sunny warm day for what felt like months, on Easter Holidays, Rye's car parks were full but we managed to find space and walked into the main area via Landgate! Plenty of choice in Rye, but we chanced on this place, it was quit to start with as we arrived at 13:30 having spent a morning visit Great Dixter a few miles down the road! We both chose Hummus with Pitta bread for starters, but had to ask for extra Pitta, delicious hummus with a generous drizzle of Greek Peppery olive oil and onion crumbs! I wolfed that down and then we ordered in my case Souvlaki Lamb with Tzaziki and Pitta, and my friend ordered the Lamb Chops, as we were close to the Romney Marsh they were delicious too. Clean plates are always indicative of good food we had tap water in a carafe and two bottles of Peroni beer! Felt full at the end but not over stuffed, Hetty was our server very friendly and efficient (she was I found out 25 weeks in to her pregnancy) due in July! Great relaxed atmosphere views over the medieval chapel, from the rear, on a summers afternoon this will be busy, but well worth it 87 including service!

Beautiful meal and wonderful staff! We had a beautiful evening at Marco’s, the food was delicious and came out quickly which was great. The ladies serving were absolutely lovely & the atmosphere was so welcoming. Another lovely Gem in Rye! Really recommend coming here!
