Really enjoyed my time here, came for the fish and chips and it did not disappoint. I would definitely come back. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Everything felt good ?.

Sakura Portsmouth Japanese Restaurant

Beautiful restaurant with a very intimate atmosphere, the partitions make each table feel cozy but not cramped. The best japanese food in the area; everything is delicious, and the service is wonderful. Also thought it was very sweet that they have options on the website to book for different occassions, eg. Anniversary, birthday, etc. which made it feel very personalised.

Maeme’s Portsmouth

The food was awesome, tasty and affordable, especially grilled chicken with rice. The service was also great and all the staff were friendly and nice. Highly recommended.

The Chambers

Great food and service. Well looked after by Katie and Jason and a mention for the chef John. Made better as being 10 minutes walk from front door to restaurant.

First time here and we had a lovely time. Impressed with the friendly, attentive service, especially from Grace. Nothing was too much trouble. Makes a difference when you get service with a smile!Looking forward to our next visit!

Excellent food and a warm welcome. True Portuguese food. My favourite Portuguese Restaurant. Great Chef – George and the staff are always so friendly and Helpful.

German Doner Kebab

I went in for my first time and the staff were incredibly helpful and polite. It was easy to order on the self serve screens. The food was very reasonably priced and it tasted incredible. I highly recommend the spring rolls and garlic sauce.

Rapscallions

Great food & great cocktails, service excellent and attentive on a busy evening. Only one negative - please turn your music down a touch, or something a bit more fitting for the décor and ambience of the venue!

The Dockyard Pub Portsmouth

Came in for lunch and saw they were doing a deal for 40p chicken wings, we had a few rounds to try all the different sauces they had to offer and would also highly recommend their loaded fries! Staff were very helpful in explaining all the deals they have on there as well thanks Kate!Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp into the venue plus loads of accessible seating as well as a downstairs toilet you can ask for the key behind the bar to use

The Briny

Right on seafront. Nice atmosphere with roaming sax player on a Sunday. No fish special that day, but the selection we ordered was excellently executed. This kitchen knows what it’s doing. Gluten Free options and knowledgable staff. Good beverages, very comfortable, clean and modern interior. Food descriptions on images. Really good visit, would mark as a favourite when back in area.

Lovely service this evening for 12 of us!Friendly, family atmosphere. Nice food for a good value. The server Zunita, worked hard to serve us all, appreciated the service.

Wow!! Came here by myself today and it was amazing.I had the American pancakes with a flat white & espresso martini. Everything was delicious, could not fault it at all.Thank you so much to all the staff who made my visit a very enjoyable one. Will definitely be back!

Brasserie Blanc

Went for the Wednesday steak night deal and had 2 perfectly cooked 8oz Rumps with 2 a lovely fresh tasty salad a big portion of fries and 2 sauces all with a bottle of house white all for £44 so £50 with a small tip.Great service , great food , great atmosphere and we will be back for our 3rd visit very soon. Well done to the team.

Six Highland Road

Have been before for coffee, but tried the cheese board today. Dearer than some places, but decent cheeses, with olives, chutney, grapes and onions, which balanced things out. Olives were pitted, too, which is a bonus if one's teeth are a bit delicate!Vegetarian options: Decent food and coffee, friendly service and outside part if you want to bring your pooch along...

Agora Restaurant

There is a nice range of vegetarian food but unfortunately only one dessert for vegetarians. The service was ok and friendly. Our table was situated by the door, every time someone opened the door, cold air came in. One customer waiting outside kept opening the door to talk to the waitress, he did this several times, very annoying when trying to keep food warm.

Las Iguanas - Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays

Went for a Wednesday bottomless brunch. Served by Josh and Dean who went above and beyond with the service. Swift refills and good grub. Will come again. Thank you !

Justasia

The customer service at this place is accommodating and they are every attentive to their customers. The place is small and cosy but no ideal if you come on a busy day with a big group, if you want to go with more than 4 people I advice you to call them and let them know so that they are prepared.The food was good I was a little disappointed in the Longsilog as I expected it to be sweet but it was just beef mince rolled into a sausage, however the other good that we order was really good. The Ube Latte was delicious, the palabok was tasty and we teally enjoyed the Talongsilog which was an egg omelette with egg plant. The pancit was good just a little salty but that could have just been my taste bud. The Bangus with garlic fried rice, you couldn't go wrong with especially if you enjoy white fish, if they added a nice vinegar sauce on the side with some chilli I think would have made the dish perfect but that's just my preference.All in all the place is a very nice place to go to with family and friends. The Halo-Halo is a great dessert to have at the end. I highly recommend others to try this place out. The place is Halal. As for parking you can park at Lidl which is opposite for an hour and then there are some side roads which you could park at but you would need to check the signs.

The Bridge Tavern

Popped here for a quick (Non alcoholic) drink before heading home! Sat outside watching the boats being washed down before be stacked! Great friendly service & facilities!!

Brewhouse & Kitchen - Portsmouth

Me and my friend popped in before going to an event at the guildhall. The very friendly and helpful staff provided us with a good experience. The selection of beers was very good and the menu provided the usual choices. The beer was very good - I had a pale ale and my friend a lager. Both these were good. We both had fish and chips which were nicely cooked and tasty.

Chiquito

Great place for a Mexican experience. Great decoration and service as well, friendly and nothing is too much.Lots on the menu to choose from.The food was tasty and hot (temperature).Would recommend if you are looking for a Mexican restaurant for a meal out

OTAKU SUSHI

So glad we found this amazing Sushi restaurant tucked around the corner opposite the station. First class service, tasty food and all at a great price. The beef ramen, salt and pepper king prawns and gyozas are to die for. What a great find, we will definitely return soon!

Golden Hind

First time visit, absolutely loved it!I was treated to a mother's day lunch, opted for the roast - didn't read the menu and it was a carvery... WINNERRRRR!!Given a glass of prosecco on arrival, and an afternoon of live music adding to the cosy vibes of mothering Sunday = Perfection!

Great Salterns Portsmouth

Hi guys Came here on the 24th for a day celebration that also doubled as an Xmas get together. I have found Harvesters abit 'hit and miss' throughout the years, however this one has always been decent. I'll be honest with there being 15 of us and all ordering different and not from the set Xmas menu (along with it being packed for Xmas eve) I wasn't expecting much. To there immense credit, and I do not state that lightly, all 15 meals came out at the same time, hot and very well prepared. Nothing was burnt, cold, dry, sad looking or just in general looking or poor form! I had the ultimate combo and it was fantastic, as was my wife's exceptionally well portioned pork belly! Amongst the other variety of kids meals, burgers, chicken combos and even our veggie contingent, there was no moaning and the lot was cleared!!! It was obviously very busy but our waitress was friendly, kept our drinks coming and looked after us!! Zero, complaints from me!!!!

Tseng Meng Niu Taiwanese Beef Noodles Soup曾蒙牛台灣牛肉麵

Great noodle…. Real Taiwanese taste. Food is of super good value as well….Trying to find time to visit again and again.Try this and…. You won’t regret, for sure

Palace Café Restaurant

Amazing coffee, huge variety of meal choices on the menu, welcoming staff and spotlessly clean establishment. The perfect rainy Sunday brunch destination. Thank you ?

Bar + Block Steakhouse Portsmouth

It is worth recommending this place to eat a perfect steak. We chose the chateaubriand version for two people, with simple additions. A delicious dish that melts in your mouth.It is worth emphasizing the quality of the drinks - even for an ordinary Aperil Spritz, the staff did not skimp on alcohol.Finally, fresh coffee and an amazing selection of desserts. It's worth it!

Nemrut Restaurant

Nemrut have been here for many years, they have amazing food and I really can't fault it. A hidden jem when it comes to proper home cooked Turkish cuisine. If you're in the area for a visit of have lived here for years but never visited, I'd highly recommend you book in, you won't be disappointed.

Mick's Monster Burgers

Best tasting burgers anywhere!! Keep it up boyz and galz, you're doing a fantastic job!!!Parking: It's always busy as some people like the view and stay in their cars to enjoy their meal.

Shell

It's open 24h, but if you can go elsewhere you'll get much cheaper fuel.The Tesco around the corner is 5p/L cheaper for petrol and 3p/L cheaper for diesel. Asda just up the road is a further penny cheaper.Standard air/water/vaccum machines. Not the cheapest but convenient. Also a drive through car wash.

Shell

Staff were friendly and commented on the car, nearly had to drop a star as one of the pumps wasn't working... But the others were so it wasn't the end of the world ?

Costa Coffee

I don't normally like Costa coffee but there is a girl there that I like so I am drinking more coffee than usual.Parking: Parking is when you leave your car in a car sized area of ground and pay for short term occupation of the said space

Shell

Friendly polite member of staff. Handy fuel station. Maybe a little more for fuel here since at ferry port. Busy road to turn in, but easy enough, small forecourt. Free prize draw if spend over £30 on vpower fuel at moment. 5 star Shell fuel

Shell

I want to thank the staff who were working Wednesday 20th afternoon/evening especially Jo. My car broke down in the petrol station and they were very kind and helpful as I waited 4 hours to be rescued. They made a very bad experience more bearable. Many thanks to them both.

Mystic Coffee Lounge

Great food, outstanding service & amazing atmosphere. Loved every minute of my visit. My experience was one of my best in coffee lounges, cafes & restaurants.Will visit regularly, at least weekly if not more ?

Fries Love

We walked passed this last week and my daughter really wanted to try some Korean foods especially seeing this on YouTube. So we popped in to try some Korean corn dogs and tanghulu.The food was delicious ? and surprisingly very filling. I didn’t think a corn dog would fill me like this.We really liked the decor in there too the lights look lovely. It wasn’t busy at all when we’ve visited and the staff there were friendly both the waitress and the cook. The items are also reasonably priced.We’d visit Busan bites again when we are in portsmouth for a shopping trip again for a quick bite. Thank you ?Kid-friendliness: I wouldn’t say it looks kiddish inside. My daughter is 10 and we tend to bring out own card games etc to keep her entertained. I didn’t see any colouring in or anything for the kids there. But that wasn’t a problem for us as I as a parent always pack something to keep my daughter entertained when we are out and about.Wheelchair accessibility: My daughter is a wheelchair user. It was hard to get in, a gentleman on the street saw me struggling and helped me by holding the door open. When leaving I asked the waitress to help me with the door and she was very helpful.

Zizzi - Portsmouth

Lovely quick dinner after school. We were greated by Claire (name on our receipt) she was lovely, very involving with my daughter and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you so much Kid-friendliness: Colouring available and the team are lovely with children

Mowchak

Great food, friendly staff. Eat in or takeaway.Unfortunately, it is quite 'not of this time'. It is probably me but I find the atmosphere quite uncomfortable what with the (almost over attentive) service.Don't get me wrong, the service is good and timely, you don't have to wait an age to be attended to (unlike the place up the road).Great food, ¿Too much service? Friendly. I dunno, maybe a bit of musacc?

Zizzi - Port Solent

Wonderful service (Fred, i think) and lovely food. However, this particular Zizzi was far too loud because of its design/building- you could not hear other people on your table as others around were having to shout (it was just under 2/3rds full on a momday night, quite relaxed all things considered) , i had asked upon arrival to be seated somewhere quiet as one of our party has autism but the waitress did not seem to know what to do with that and placed us in the middle of the room under direct light, however, when we left there were people by the quiet tables near the door which looked much better.

Pearl Of The Orient

Amazing food the salt and chilli chips were incredible. Food was cooked to order and the staff were really friendly I highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Large variety of vegetarian options.

Ocean Fresh Fish & Chips

Last weekend we had the pleasure of dining @ Ocean Fresh for the first time . I must say it was a fantastic experience from warm and welcoming greeting to finish. The Owner, Mass , who was incredibly friendly, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.Fish and chips was great and just the right amount of crispy and we were impressed with the quality of the ingredients.Aside from the delicious food, was the reasonable pricing. Ocean Fresh definitely delivers great value for your money. We will definitely come Back or take advantage of delivery .Thanks Mass

Mayfair Restaurant

The food was tasty and the prices are reasonable as well. The staff behaviour was excellent and the atmosphere is really nice to dine in. They greeted us with sweets which I liked the most!

Shahee Tandoori

The China Garden

Found the china garden on Uber eats. This was our 2nd time ordering from the china garden and it was tasty & fresh. Delivery was very quick. I have tried so many Chinese takeaways in Portsmouth and they have been awful. the china garden is now my go to!!

McDonald's

Your typical McDonald's. I liked the food, decently fast service and the store is big and modern. It is clean when there aren't too many people, but usually they are so then it gets dirty.Staff do a good job.

Burga Portsmouth

Order half a dozen times now for my girlfriend and I. Very good, very tasty burgers, with good selections. Only criticism is that it’s take away only, and it’s entrance is by the bins at a nightclub, but the food always slapsVegetarian options: My girlfriend is vegetarian and loves the halloumi burger and cheesy fries

Ali Baba Kebab House

Ever want to eat a delicious pizza and never to forget the taste then I strongly recommend Ali Baba... The food is mind blowing and the staff is outstanding .Parking: North End

KFC Portsmouth - Pompey Centre

It was great but the highlight was when I helped an elderly gentleman with a stick going through the bins to find something to eat,so I bought him a meal to take home with him and he allowed me to take his picture and put it up on facebook so that made me just as happy today,cost of living crisis it will probably happen again amd I will probably buy two meals instead one one again but all good ?

Copnor Kitchen

Beautiful place. This place truly has a soul. The atmosphere is comforting, friendly, wholesome. It has a sense of real community. The food was delightful. Thoroughly wonderful experience.

North End Cafe

A gem of a place. Staff are very friendly and helpful as my wife has many allergies. They went out of the way to make sure there was no cross contamination which made her feel very relaxed. The prices are very reasonable and my steak and kidney pie came out piping hot!It’s also handy that it’s literally a stones throw away from Stubbington Avenue Car Park. I feel minded to point out that the management would prefer cash if possible so next time we go, we will make sure that we have some. Well done all those involved.

The Pembroke

Had my first Pusser's rum here. It's a traditional pub, pretty decent. They need to sort out the women's WC though because it's easy to get trapped in there with the weird lock.

The Ship & Castle

Arrived in Portsmouth Docks for a Wave 105 St Malo cruise a bit early and decided to have a drink in the bar on port The Ship & Castle. They had stopped cooking food on arrival but were happy to rustle us up a sandwich with some lovely ham. Got chatting to the landlord who kept us enthralled with his many years of cruising ( as this was our first ), which kept us entertained till our friends arrived and the bar filled with other passengers. Would throughly recommend before boarding a ship. Loved every minute, a proper traditional old skool boozer. Thank you ?

East African Restaurant

My honest review after spending a couple of days in Portsmouth: We were eagerly searching for a Habesha restaurant. Our journey was specifically to indulge in Habesha cuisine, and we tried a variety of dishes including ሽሮ Shiro, ኣዋዘ ጥብሲ Awaze Tibsi, ደረቅ ጥብሲ Dereq Tibsi, and እንጀራ ቋንጣ ፍትፍት Qanta Fitfit, as well as በብዓይነቱ Beya Aynetu. The presentation of the food was impressive. It was my first experience with Tibsi meat served with bones, which I found quite unusual. However, the Dereq Tibsi was outstanding, and the Shiro was even more delicious. The Qanta Fitfit was also delightful, but the Injera in all our dishes was a bit of a letdown, particularly in the Injera Qanta Fitfit, which didn’t meet my expectations. The Beya Aynetu was good, though I’m not particularly fond of it, and some components didn’t seem fresh.Overall, the experience was great. The ambiance of the place was appealing, and the cleanliness of the bathrooms was a significant plus. The service was exceptional, and the prices were reasonable compared to other Habesha restaurants.

Green Posts

Great pub lunch with friend food was great value and delicious, friendly bar staff who couldn’t do anything more to help , we’ll definitely be going back. Boy burger deal for a fiver is highly recommended everyone attends on a

Uncle Sams

This is just a very small takeaway with a few seats to sit inside if you want to. The key thing about uncle Sams burgers is that they seem to be of a much higher quality generally and definitely more delicious. I've been going for years and recommend the chilli burger.

Park 27 Cafe

Food overall was nice, but the portions are a bit small. The chicken satay stews was over cooked and a little over priced for 4 sticks. The service was great, friendly and welcoming.

Poppins Cosham

Amazing service and an amazing, friendly welcome. Food straightforward, tasty and freshly cooked. Great value for money. We're never disappointed when we visit.

Napoli Pizza and Pasta Portsmouth

This is Napoli pizza in a real wood-fired oven. They offer other things to suit the locals but TRY THE PIZZA. ? the chef is friendly and the care taken to make the pizza was incredible. The sauce is home made and the dough is thin and has a wonderful chewy texture that melts in the mouth. Very fresh and delicious, took it home and was in awe of how delicious it was and how refreshing it is to get fantastic pizza in north end. Bravo!! Serve affordable wine, put homemade chili oil in the table and we will come to eat here on the regular!

DICE Pizza

I hate going to new shops for pizza, I always stick with Dominos or Pizza Hut but decided to branch out and try Dice. I was not disappointed! I also had their tandoori chicken wrap and chips and it was all piping hot and deeeelish!!

Kam Too

The food is incredible for a Chinese takeaway I would rather go collect this then order anything and it taste expensive but is so cheap and affordable for big families or even small families or single people . I hope this takeaway does really with the crisis atm this is the most affordable and more delicious take away ever thanks a lot kam too u doing great guys xxxxx

Whistle Stop Cafe

No-nonsense quality food and coffee. Baps made to order down to the runniness of the egg, at extremely reasonable prices. Coffee is good and strong. The ladies at Whistle Stop deserve a special mention for being wholesome and really caring about customers. They always greet with a big smile, Jack had my order remembered after only a few sporadic visits. During my latest pickup, an excited dog named Biscuit came in with the owner, who dropped off a big bar of choc for the staff to say thank you cause the owners always give Biscuit a sausage when he comes by, which proceeded to happen in front of me. Was like something out of a film! Keep doing what you do, a gem of the local community

Copnor Grill

Only been using Copnor Grill for about a year . 100% really good cooked food always hot on delivery can’t fault at all ! Highly recommend the chicken doner brilliantly seasoned !! Nice one guys ?

DIM SUM HUT

Authentic food in authentic settings, with fair prices. The prawn fritter cheung fun, turnip cake, siew mai and char siew bao were absolutely delicious, as were the pastries we had to take away because we were stuffed. We’ll be back for more!
