ABode Canterbury (High Street, Canterbury, Kent CT1 2RX) White tableclothed tables fill a high ceiling white painted room, with touches of deep purple to add warmth. Prior to entering the dining room you might wish to have cocktails in the cosy bar where there was more atmosphere that night than the dining room. The diners on the mid-week night consisted of one lady dining alone reading her book and a party of eight placed in the middle of the room. We opted for the taster menu, each dish was flavoursome and well cooked with the exception of the pan fried pigeon which was still cold in the middle. The wine recommended by the sommelier was a very good choice (we opted for the least pricy recommendation). The service was overly attentive as the dining room was quiet,. Puddings were art on a plate, well crafted and a satisfying end to the meal. As expected the bill was over £100 per head although we treated ourselves that night.
