The 30 Best Food establishment in Portsmouth

“Pretty much got most of what you'd need but if not they can soon enough organise it for ya for sure, good bunch of peeps, quick as u like too xx,,,price's not too shabby either”

“Martin served us all night with such infectious enthusiasm, it was lovely! The food was amazing as always, as well as the cocktails. Being able to sit with a view of the spinnaker tower and the water just tops the atmosphere. What topped it even more was getting a free main course for my birthday month!”

“Very relaxed atmosphere, at no time did we feel under pressure to order, plates weren't cleared until we had finished eating, excellent range of dishes on the menu, my guest is vegetarian and there was a good range of dishes for her to select from. Staff were welcoming, friendly and professional, the restaurant was very clean. My guest has lived in Lebanon for several years and assured me about the authenticity of the cuisine. Prices are very reasonable, I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.”

“Lovely tastes, very fresh ingredients, huge bag of salt and rosemary chips with aioli on the side. Highly recommended for proper burger fans”

“So so so amazing. I honestly think this is one of the best restaurants experienced. In fact ‘restaurant’ doesn’t do it justice because it sounds a bit traditional, and this is just incredible. An informal, small, intimate restaurant. Exquisite and inventive food (Adam’s cooking is off the chart - flavours are amazing, quality ingredient sourcing is high on the agenda) , Ruby is the best host - kind, professional, fun and makes amazing cocktails. Just go…. ☺️, but book ahead.”

“I don't often write reviews, but this pizza was an absolute standout meal. After a quick chat with the lovely waitress and then chef, I settled on the Calabrese. Fantastic rich tasting base and sauce, with plenty of flavoursome toppings. As a local favourite establishing their first shopfront I wish them very well. I would certainly go out of my way to return again should I have the chance from Australia.”

“Great pizza. Lovely atmosphere inside with very clean work space and seating and workers are very kind.”

“I recommend their roast pork rice or roast pork with lemon. The beef soup is delicious and generous in portion. The soup is very Fresh, high quality. I ordered a Vietnamese coffee, but it was very sweet, maybe because of the wrong amount of condensed milk. I added hot water and it was normal.”

“First time tasting the Mexican food. We have ordered chicken rice loaded, chicken wings, and wrap. All of them were delicious. I love it!”

“A very friendly locals Pub good cocktails old pub atmosphere good stop”

“Tranquil location inside the park. Friendly staff, comfy and clean. Outside seating if the sun is out. I can recommend the bread pudding, try it warmed up. Great value.”

“Liam Charlie h and ayo was the best!! Great music great vibes and the greatest drinks!! Pop world is the best”

“This is the best place to get your lunch! Such good food and lovely staff. I recommend this place to everyone!”

“Wow ! Amazing food ,amazing service , beautifully decorated interior. Daria was very friendly and attentive 10/10 for service . Cannot wait to come back to try the other dishes on the menu”

“Top Staff - I visited this morning to buy a few things having paid, I walked out without having taken all the items. The dude at the till ran out to catch me up and give me my shopping.”

“A nice place with friendly staff members. It is also easy to put through online orders with many great online and offline offers. The store is very clean and an easy access to the toilet for the customers. Shall visit again!”

“Amazing food, pizza had fresh ingredients used! Chicken wings were nice a juicy too. I would definitely recommend this place for comfort food.”

“Banging food, brilliant staff and the best iced coffee in Southsea.”

“Had an excellent brunch on a drizzly Saturday morning - coffee was good, food looked and tasted delicious. Lovely staff too. My BBQ brisket was delicious, and friends had vegetarian options that they also devoured.”

“Friendly service even right at the end of a busy day. Great coffee and GF cake. Delicious sausage roll. We revisited based on our last great experience and it was just as good”

“Lovely sharing ploughman's. Good wine and beer nice view of the cricket”

“One of the best pubs in Pompeii, regularly four or five ales always in good condition. And a large beer garden. Beer festival Sunday 29 June 2025, it was brilliant. Roll on next year.”

“Very cosy restaurant. Excellent spot if you're not too familiar with Japanese food as the menu is extensive with lots of detail. Food was delicious, the sushi was fresh and the wait wasn't too long. Fantastic meal and great atmosphere.”

“Had a wonderful experience at Kurdistan Restaurant earlier 29th July , Portsmouth! The food was authentic and full of flavor—especially the kebabs and fresh naan. The portion sizes were generous, and the hospitality was warm and welcoming. A great spot for anyone who enjoys Middle Eastern cuisine. Will definitely visit again!”

“Absolutely the best place around, we drive from Havant for a takeaway. Every time good food haven't had a disappointment from them for the past six months and we eat from there at least once a fourth night.”

“Lovely friendly helpful staff serving delicious food. Clean nicely decorated restaurant, seating available inside and out with umbrellas available in the heat. Not much of a wait for food.”

“For their first day, it's amazing how much it feels this place as been here for years! Well done Rupert & James. We've loved eating with you, ever since the Plough and will continue to support you! Food was great, frozen Margs even better!”

“What a truly wonderful loverlyyyyyyyy place to go while waiting for our ferry, we are currently walking the whole UK coast path for charities mind and children in need and the lovely Nell gifted us a meal and drinks to help us on our way ,it was delicious would fully recommend thank you ladies xxx excellent food service and more”

“Charlie was really good to us at bottomless brunch on the 29/11/25. He was helpful, supportive and even though he was rushing around everywhere he made sure to pay attention to our table and look after us. Thank you Charlie”

“Couldn’t be a better experience and fantastic food!! Absolutely wonderful management, staff, service. From the first call to book, arriving, being seated right through to the end the service couldn’t have been better, could not have been more accommodating or kinder. The food was incredible. The decor and garden excellent all round. Would definitely recommend without any doubt.”
