“Fantastic place serving authentic Mexican food! The owner is full of energy and gave us such a warm welcome. You could really tell he was passionate about the dishes and excited to share his knowledge. He gave us lots of recommendations, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely one of my new favourite places in Southampton — I’ll absolutely be coming back. Thank you for the amazing experience!”

“Sitting in conservatory, was very comfortable. We just had cappuccino and cake then later pot of tea and chocolate tiffin. It was very nice. Staff were excellent, carrying a tray of tea/cake for me and clearing table when needed.”

“We had such a lovely experience at The Real Greek in Southampton, and a big part of that was thanks to Kasia. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. She checked on us at just the right moments and made us feel genuinely looked after throughout our visit. We ordered the seafood platter, which was delicious, and Kasia made sure everything was perfect. Her friendly attitude, professionalism, and natural charm really elevated the whole meal. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!”

“Just had a great Sunday lunch cooked by Chef Luke. Friendly service from Sam. Roast lamb was great and my wife had a half a roast chicken which she failed to finish - just due to the volume - and to ensure she could fit in some dessert. Cracking crumble and excellent bread and butter pudding with homemade vanilla custard. Great way to end a weekend away. Hoping to book the place for a birthday party next year...”

“This restaurant is an absolute gem that deserves all the praise! From the moment I walked in, the warm and cozy ambiance instantly put me at ease—super inviting for any occasion. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, going out of their way to ensure a smooth dining experience without being intrusive. The food was nothing short of exceptional: the signature main dish was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with perfectly balanced seasonings that highlighted the freshness of the ingredients. The side dishes were light and refreshing, complementing the main course beautifully, and even the drinks were a delight—visually appealing with a bright, tangy flavor that cut through the richness perfectly. What’s more, the value for money is unbeatable. Whether you’re catching up with friends or dining alone, this spot hits all the right notes. I’ve already recommended it to everyone I know and can’t wait to come back for round two!”

“Twsited Cuisine opened shortly after we moved to Southampton and it quickly became out favourite takeaway. We have tried many dishes form both the Thai and Italian menus and have been impressed every time. We recently ordered pizzas for the first time and we both thought they were the best pizzas we had eaten in a long while. All in all a big thumbs up and our compliments to the chef.”

“A excellent cafe/bistro situated approx 10 mins walk from Winchester Station. It's a Hip & Happining place to enjoy your food. I had scrambled eggs on toast and it was lovely with a cup of pot of tea. The staff are all very friendly and very polite. Be aware it does get busy so get there early if you can. Most of the seating is inside.”

“One of the best pizza's I've ever had. I will be returning every chance I have”

“Omg. Spectacular. One of the best ever restaurants - maybe the best. Perfect wine pairings. 100%”

“Really good food and staff, just attentive enough but never too much. The chef is excellent and the dish descriptions on the menu don't do justice to what you'll receive. For us the desserts were the stand-out part of the meal, and the Latvian Honey cake, Teurgoule, and the Pear with blue cheese and chutney ice cream all got rave reviews. Definitely worth a visit.”

“What a great addition to the Southampton dining scene. A beautifully designed restaurant specialists in cheese/meat boards and fine wine. What I love is the superb staff, friendly service and of course great food. This place can be a place to bring a date, a casual catch up or just a meeting. Whatever brings you here its guaranteed you will stay a while enjoy the wine and chilled beats. The decor is amazing too - the ceiling looks like grass and there is a lovely hand made sign over the bar! There is such a selection of food that you will find something delicious. And even a full vegan alternative so no excuses from anyone not to visit. As for access, the Porter is fully inclusive, handicapped access and I was able to bring my support dog and she was also made to feel like a valued guest. Special thanks to Milo, for always going above and beyond with the service. Highly recommended.”

“Came here for lunch and I was completely blown away! Situated outside of the main town, this gem of a place was a really great find. Quality of ingredients was superb, especially the salmon. Prices were reasonable. Definitely recommend the peking duck roll, eel unagi & salmon nagiri. The menu has a ton of items so be prepared to be overwhelmed at first! There’s something for everyone. Server was really nice and attentive during our visit. 10/10”

“Nice little community cafe, serving well cooked British food. It is around the back of the building so don't be put off that it looks closed from the front. Lots of free car parking.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable Dining Experience I honestly don’t even know where to begin — this was hands down the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Every single dish was perfection — from the first bite to the last. The flavours were so fresh and beautifully balanced, and you can tell how much care goes into every detail of the presentation. The sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth soft, the sauces were rich but never overpowering, and the dessert was the perfect ending. Every course felt like a little piece of art. The atmosphere was calm and elegant, the plating was stunning, and the staff were so kind and attentive without being overbearing. It’s rare to find somewhere that gets everything so right — food, service, and overall vibe. If you’re looking for a meal that truly wows you and leaves you speechless, this is the place. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. I’ll be dreaming about this meal for a long time.”

“A wonderful full on experience. I chose the KF Fish wings as my starter. This chef must be mad to come up with the idea of fish wings KFC style. It’s so hard to eat without getting frustrated by a bone here or there; but it is soooo worth it. A totally tasty, barking mad, delicious starter. Being a Friday I followed by posh fish n chips. It’s just what to expect from an excellent restaurant. Spot on. To finish Rasberry soufflé. An amazing and incredible desert. It’s a must visit restaurant.”

“They do a great breakfast, can't complain”
