The True Food Kitchen
14 High Street, VentnorLovely friendly people really nice food with a great twist of flavours we both had the steak this time but truth I’ve pretty much had most things on the menu.
Prawns 3 ways, Mongolian lamb that I could eat as a main if there was one taste fantastic. Oh and the onion rings out of this world none of your frozen rubbish true cooking at its best.

Cantina
20 High Street, VentnorThe Cantina is hands down the best spot in Ventnor for unique, tasty food. The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are amazing.. so polite and attentive. The food is outstanding, delicious, and full of flavour. We’re obsessed with the Swedish Hash!! if you’re ever in town, you have to try it. The tables are spaced out well and the drink selection is great. If you’re ever passing through Ventnor, definitely check out the Cantina.

Bonchurch Inn
Bonchurch Shute, VentnorWe stayed at the east dene estate which was a stones throw away from this place. So I called in advance to book a table. When we arrived it was very unlike what we had in mind. It’s a lovely little quaint place tucked away from the road nestled into the cliffs/high walls. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Showed us straight to our table. The menu was enticing, Italian food. My partner ordered a pizza which was amazing. Proper fresh dough. I ordered pasta salmone which is can personally recommend. Both dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. Prices were very fair for the drinks and the food. I’d say booking is essential as there isn’t many tables in the autumn/winter.

The Better Days Cafe - Inclusion Hub
Central Hotel, 64 High St, VentnorMy partner, toddler and I visited Better Days cafe and absolutely loved the vibe. They were genuinely friendly and warm which made us feel welcomed and relaxed. The food was delicious, the coffee was cosy and my son had a great time in the playroom, which kept him busy for the duration of our lunch. Kirsty has created an inclusive, heart-filled space and we look forward to coming back when we visit the island again :)

Two Cooks
28 Pier St, VentnorBest vegan full English I’ve ever had! The owner was incredibly helpful, kind, such a nice vibe in there. Had brunch with my friends and we had the best time! Such good value too like £10 pp for a main and drink, and she even offered to do scrambled eggs made with vegan butter and oat milk for me which I’ve literally never had at a restaurant before! It was delicious and amazing. Thank you Debra ??
Will come back every time I’m in Ventnor now!

Ocean Blue Quay, Eastern Esplanade, VentnorMary and I would just like to thank Alan and his team for a thoroughly nice breakfast. We were hungry and everything about this restaurant screamed ‘professional’: great coffee and quickly served, good menu with plenty of choice and when served up, the food was excellent. We’re stopping on the Isle of Wight for a number of weeks and we’ll definitely be returning here. Well done!!

Lady Scarlett's Tea Parlour Isle Of Wight
The Esplanade, VentnorSecond visit here and the atmosphere and general vibe is lovely. With a wind blowing up white horses and the sun arguing with remaining clouds, quite a dramatic, spectacular view was available. Tony and his crew served some nice coffee & snacks while we enjoyed the WW11 imagery around the walls. Tony clearly has a sense of humour too as you will see by some of the notices. Oh!! Free Wi-Fi. ?

The Met
Esplanade, VentnorThis is a “Tapas” bar cum restaurant and bar. It was advertising clam chowder when we walked past and looked welcoming so was a no brainer. The staff were friendly and helpful but the p;ace probably needed another server given how busy it was. Otherwise, the chowder with generous helpings of crusty bread and butter was gorgeous. Wine and beer choices a little limited for such a popular establishment. Would definitely go there again if in the area.

The Royal Hotel
Belgrave Road, VentnorI wish there was a category for overall charm because this hotel would get 5 stars. I gave 4 stars for the room because the bathroom needed upgrading, also the heating was too hot, even with radiator turned off, but it was otherwise comfortable, clean, and well serviced.
Breakfast in the restaurant was lovely.
Most of all the service was excellent, all of the staff so helpful and kind.
A special thank you to Sade in reception and a waitress (name not known ... but very petite) who were both lovely and went beyond, they are a credit to the hotel.
In summary, despite the dated bathroom we loved the hotel and will return in the future.
