The Michael Caines dining experience
Start off with a flûte of Champagne in the stylish Champagne Bar while perusing the à la carte menu that changes with the seasons before moving in to the stunning dining room to enjoy your meal at your leisure. If there is anything at all that our staff can do to make your dining experience more enjoyable, please don't hesitate to ask.
"Amazing graze lunch"
Michael Caines has pioneered a 'grazing' concept for lunch, a changing seasonal menu that offers smaller portions of our à la carte dishes, presented and served with the same Michael Caines style. This 'amazing graze' lunch gives a real taste of our high quality cuisine at an excellent value price. Moreover, we respect the busy demands on your time and guarantee to serve you lunch within one hour. Should time not be an issue, then you are naturally invited to linger over your meal as long as you like.
Tasting menu with wines
Each week, Executive Chef Jean Marc Zanetti devises a special 7-course tasting menu that includes both dishes from the a la carte as well as special seasonal creations. This is a finely balanced, carefully crafted menu that demonstrates the Michael Caines style of cooking most wonderfully. Our sommeliers match each dish with a specially selected wine to create the ultimate dining experience.
Early Dining
One of the most accessible ways to enjoy and experience Michael Caines at ABode Canterbury is to come along from 6-7pm to enjoy our special Early Dining menu, a 2- or 3-course menu that changes weekly. This is probably the best dining deal in the city!
The Michael Caines Wine Room
One of the most striking features in our Michael Caines Restaurant dining room is the modern, temperature-controlled Wine Room. This is at once a beautiful space to display wines from our carefully selected list, as well as a practical working room where our trained sommelier can ensure the proper service of wine. We fully believe that the enjoyment of wine is an integral element in the overall dining experience, so please don't hesitate to ask for advice or suggestions.
