Breakfast in Southampton

“Have been here many times in last few years. Kate was made well food and nice place for us. Highly recommended her cafe.”

“Wow. Had never been before and went off a trusted friend's recommendation. We had the most lovely evening. They were so accommodating of the fact im in a wheelchair; the restaurant is accessible (however the bathrooms are a little trickier! Thankfully I can walk a little though so it was no issue) My first impression was how homely and welcoming the place was. Then I noticed the cleanliness! Everything was immaculate and looked brand new! We were greeted in and welcomed warmly. The ambience was perfect and the background music was beautiful. Each course came out and was absolutely superb. The starters were actually some of the best food I've ever eaten - we had scallops, duck mousse and the snails - all perfectly cooked and seasoned with the perfect accompaniments. As we sat, enjoying our meal, the restaurant busied and the staff gave the same amount of warmth and service to everyone - greeting many customers like old friends (we assume this means they get a lot of repeat customers!) My husband ordered the cheese board and we were delighted when an entire platter, with an array of cheese was brought out. The waiter asked my husband his taste in cheese and then proceeded to recommend cheeses he thought would be right. He went through the board with such knowledge of the various cheeses and was spot on with every single one he suggested: my husband loved them all! The bathrooms were the cleanest public bathrooms I've ever been in! And this is gonna sound absolutely crazy but it's the first toilet I've ever been to that has really decent toilet roll!! I've stayed in 5 star hotels around the world and never rate the toilet roll but for some of us, well, it's important OK!! There was no pretentiousness and people were dressed in an array of clothing - from smart casual, to a little dressier; so you only need dress up if you feel you want to (we did!) The bill, although a little eye watering, was worth the price completely. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. The portions sizes were more generous than we had expected and we left after 3 courses from their set menu feeling full and very happy! We will 100% be back and highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys fine dining, in comfortable surroundings with all the warmth and personality that you'd expect from an independent family run business.”

“Great take away experience We decided to try food from here and had a lovely range of treats. We went for some humus, falafel, spicy sausages and the sharing mixed grill meze, with plenty of bread included. The food was very well packed and tasted very fresh and flavoursome. The falafel were rather large and a little dry but overall everything was delicious. Lots of food, with a 20% discount bonus for take away service. A great choice and definite addition to our selection of eat out meals... many thanks Baraca”

“Located in a quite spot, this place has its own parking so no hassles when you arrive. The menu options are well laid, with table service as standard. The staff is really helpful and polite. I visited with family and was pleasantly surprised that nothing we asked for was too much for them - baby chair, veg options, or tweaking the sandwich that little bit extra. Other than the excellent food, there is a charity hut at the rear garden. You can contribute at the main desk when you come in to the cafe.”

“I lived in the area over 20 years ago and used to enjoy a jacket takeaway from here. Now I live over the other side of the city and will still pop in and get a spud if I’m in the area. Consistently nice tasting spuds, I love the chilli jacket.”

“Large cafe with plenty of seating, very attentive staff and food came out quickly. Plenty of options of breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner as well as specials and cakes available. Good portion sizes and the food we ordered was tasty. Definitely would come back again.”

“Great service, lovely staff, delicious food, we loved our visit. This place is also dog friendly.”

“Great place to grab a takeaway pizza. Staff is extremely friendly and love what they are doing. The food is tasty and extremely affordable. Kind of made it my local place to visit once a week.”

“Very pleasantly surprised by this kebab. Staff was friendly, the place is pretty, and the food was amazing. Quite a few vegetarian options. I will definitely be back to get more comfort food!”

“Lovely cosy pub. Been here a few times for Sunday lunch and the food is amazing. Very good service. Parking is limited though”

“We dropped in for coffee and stayed for lunch! Our first visit to this lovely cafe but it definitely won't be our last. We arrived just as the morning rush was finishing so we had a choice of tables, our food was cooked fresh (but even so, with minimal delay) and was just how we like it. Excellent to see a good range of healthy options as well as the standard cafe fare, and the prices are reasonable, especially for a prime location. The picture shows my Eggs Royale - the portion size is two of these but I'd eaten one before I remembered to take a picture!”

“Lovely pizza, not greasy or overly filling like certain takeaways, and a really good vegetarian and vegan selection”

“Friendly and clean service. Food is made fresh - the chips were nice & crispy with a generous portion. The halloumi burger is the best I've ever had, very tasty! My only negative is that there was no check back by server. Visited 20/09/22”

“First of all I would rate the food. It is freshly made with quality fish and produces. And you can tell that it is made by a single person in the kitchen and served you at the same time. That alone is one of a kind that is really hard to find in the UK. He mainly serves the students around the area, very friendly. I have eaten here a couple of times and the food has been one of the best sushi I have eaten. The price is definitely on the cheaper side given how good it was. If you just want a unique experience, a homely setting, a regular and familiar sight of asia cultural then this is where you want to go. The place isn't very big and isn't made for big parties so is more suitable for table of 6 or less I would say. And expect the food to come out not as quick as there is only one person serving. I will be here often :)”

“Didn’t expect to have this delicious Thai food in Salisbury. The receptionist at our b&b recommended this restaurant, and coconut soup (don’t remember the exact menu..) was my favorite.”

“Wonderful food, huge portions, great value for money. Very welcoming place and clearly very popular with locals.”

“This family run restaurant is a real hidden gem in Southampton. The chef and staff are amazing and extremely friendly, which means that the service is definitely world class. The food (pizza) is absolutely delicious and I’m sure it was the best pizza I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend this restaurant from whatever occasion.”

“Found this little gem - and didn't expect to find this view on my way out of Totton! Small fishing lodge cafe sitting amidst 3 lakes and beautiful views. Service staff were lovely and attentive; happy to chat but not disturbing at all. Wide variety of milkshakes to choose from, after a lovely Full English Breakfast. Will definitely come back.”

“This is a great place with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and high-quality, delicious food. I’ve tried several different dishes for both breakfast and dinner, and every time the meals have been excellent and very tasty.”

“Lovely, clean and quiet little place to eat locally in Woolston. Definitely worth supporting the Small Business in this case as the visit was WELL WORTH IT. My daughter and I loved this visit and enjoyed fabulous food that was prepared in good time and brought to our table with a friendly smiley service. Recommend: Mango smoothie Cappuccino Omelettes with choice of fillings. Cheese, bacon and sausage was a real it. Definitely coming here again!! (4/5 stars only because they had an out of tuning radio station playing with more hiss than music, which became mildly irritating)”

“I only went to this establishment because my friend Sam works there, and as always his service was amazing. However I stayed and returned for the burgers. The burger sauce they use is honestly the best one I've ever had and it brings the burgers to the next level. I don't live nearby and I spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking about the burgers. The atmosphere and service are 10/10, they're quick and the food gets to you speedy and steaming.”

“Brilliant food, great service! Reasonably priced with good sized portions, the food came quickly and all together. Veggy curry was lush, and the pie of the day was really good too. They also had live music which was a really nice addition.”

“Was absolutely lovely. Fresh and great quality. Only thing I would recommend is maybe collecting rather than delivery on a busy night as the sauce went a-bit watery due to being packaged. However still arrived hot and fresh can’t complain as I’m sure they where very busy on a Friday night”

“Forgot to take photos of everything that we ate because they were gone in seconds. We enjoyed every bite. Everything was so nice - coffee, English breakfast, burger, cake! We stayed in the farm lodges for a couple of nights and the cafe is the best part of this farm for us - Charlie, the manager and the staff are all amazing. Thank you, Charlie for such a warm welcome. Thank you for all the cuddles you gave our dog - also a Charlie :)”

“Bike friendly burger van located right next to National Cycle Network Route 236, great place to have a fabulous breakfast before heading to New Forest for a long bike ride.”

“Great food and super friendly service HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place”

“Elsabel cafe dose not disappoint had the best afternoon tea for a family gathering I have ever tried. Sandwiches and cakes were so professional and of such a high standard was more like a afternoon tea from a posh New forest establishment. Owner and family could not have done more for us welcoming and friendly made the table soo pretty for my mum's birthday.Would highly recommend a try ,you will be hard pushed to find better even for twice the price .”

“Visited from Sheffield, it actually is one of the best restaurants i have visited for Kurdish food in UK so far, food is fresh and also taste is amazing and light. Also staff is very welcoming.”
