I have gone there several times and just love it.  The food is quite good for the price...and the restaurant is kinda cool too.  If you are going with 2-4 people, ask to reserve a booth up in the top section...fun!

I used to go there, it's great! Their sister restaurant Le Mercury in Islington is good too. 

I have yet to find a restaurant in Canterbury that I REALLY like so I"m going to give a mention to another London one.
