Restaurants in Portsmouth

Solent Grill Restaurant

Obviously, they’re very local to my house, but so are many Other fast food places, but here you get a very good service very good food just on the main road near the precinct with lots of parking for me it’s a win-win.

Maeme’s Portsmouth

Hi everyone This resturant I don't know who are these people and what they think they are running, I am experiencing this for 1st time. My wife ordered Food for two different places one at home address and other for me at work place and they delivered both order's at same place at my home and refused to mind their own mistake and eventually through back on us my refused to take the food.
But at the end the rider was nice resturant called us back and apologise and accepted for the little mistakes and place the orders to the right destination happy with it Thank you.

Slug & Lettuce - Portsmouth

Had a good experience with bottomless brunch. We all had some great cocktails. The service were professional and friendly despite some trouble, they are very respectable. Atmosphere-wise it is fine but I personally feel like it's too similar to other bars with a modern vibe and doesn't have it's own identity.

Wheelchair accessibility: Made up of 2 floors. Second floor is stairs only. First floor is mostly high tables.

Papa Johns Pizza

The guy who served me is very accommodating and friendly. Food in Papa John's is very good! The BBQ Chicken classic is my favorite! Will definitely order again ?

Viet Quan - Vietnamese Street Food

Lovely little Vietnamese place. Big choice of food. Really delicious and good value. Friendly staff. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back when I'm next in the area!

Sakura Portsmouth Japanese Restaurant

Food was absolutely delicious. We took prawn gyoza ramen, miso ramen, California maki and tempura rolls. Environment was super nice, very cozy. I loved that they have curtains between tables. Staff very friendly and food ready quickly! I was very full so decided to take the rest of ramen home. Definitely will be back!

The Dockyard Pub Portsmouth

Robbie the moustache man was actually the best bottomless host I’ve had the pleasure of having!
Great service great banter and what energy!

Thank you so much!!!

Sovereigns

Amazing place with really good food and drinks, the soft play area was lovely for my sibling and one of the waitresses Maisie was extremely polite and helpful! Will definitely be there again

Tex Mex Premium Street Food

Had an awesome experience tonight. Food was really good. We tried the chicken with different base sauces. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We also had free milkshakes. Will definitely come back :)

All Bar One Portsmouth

Popped in for a few cocktails before dinner and it was lovely. Nice atmosphere and the drinks were good.Only slightly marked down as I couldn't get one of the cocktails I wanted but it was great other than

Ship Anson

My daughter is a vegetarian, and she told me it's hard to get a veggie burger "right." The one at Ship Anson was so good, she was dreaming about it for the rest of our trip to England! I had the vegetarian chili, and it, also, was the best meal of my vacation. Highly recommended!

Frankie & Benny's

Came in over the Christmas period with my family and it was super busy but everyone was nice and Sia especially was so helpful at keeping us updated on our food and looking after us!

Chiquito

Served tonight by Caroline and we're given the best customer service we have had in years. The food was lovely but made better by good service. Caroline was attentive, professional, polite, happy, and helpful. Can't ask for more.

Natty's Jerk

Stumbled upon this place by sheer accident, thank God we did! Food was mouth watering, service great. Feels like someone dropped a little Jamaican shack in the middle of Portsmouth, will definitely be back ❤️

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!

Brasserie Blanc

1. I am not disabled, but those who are may struggle with upstairs toilets.

2. Coca-Cola was served in 250ml bottles but menu only lists price for 330ml.

3. The food was actually rather nice, I would rate it four out of five.

4. If you're wearing particularly colourful clothes, nail polish and sandals with flowers on you probably don't expect to repeatedly get called "Sir" as I did.

5. Pricing
Pretty reasonable tbh.

Would I eat here again?
Depends if someone else is paying like when I visited.
In which case, definitely. Otherwise, no.

On balance:
Better than McDonald's, but work is needed for those differently abled and/or neurodivergent.

Cosy Club

Good food, serves lunch from 12 noon which seemed a bit late but enjoyed a second breakfast.
Caters for celiac (gluten free) options.
Lovely views outside

The Briny

I’m all the way from Miami, Florida and love seafood. This might be one of my all-time favorite experiences. Exceptional flavors. Fantastic service and beautiful atmosphere. Casual and refined.

Bar + Block Steakhouse Portsmouth

Probably one of the best fillet steaks I've ever had. And I've had a few! No stupid lettuce wedge either!! Our waitress Jess was very good. Just the right amount of attention. Would definitely eat there again.....and again!!

Palace Café Restaurant

In the evening the cafe becomes a superb restaurant. Super food. So tasty. Generous portion of food. The tempura prawns so good. You can tell it’s homemade Excellent service. Friendly staff Definitely going back.

The Portsbridge

If you like a lively venue to watch football and have a quick beer, I'd recommend this venue. We popped in for a quick pint and watched Man City vs. Arsenal, and all was good.

As we were necking our last pint, there was an altercation between what I assumed was two tipsy locals, which was nothing more than a lot of pushing, shoving and swearing but what I will say is a member of staff arrived quickly and deescalated the situation within a minute or two.

The food smelt great, but I didn't eat here.

I'd definitely go back, but I imagine it's predominantly a locals pub that can get a little rowdy. My kind of pub ?

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.

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

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

We had a great meal here. When we arrived we were offered a free complimentary drink as there was a wedding at the venue and the kitchen would be late opening. Totally fine with us and the meal was lovely. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We will be back!

The Sally Port Inn

We didn't eat, but popped in on a Sunday afternoon for a drink. Group of six with three dog's and ever so accommodating with table service. It feels more like a private club but without any pretentiousness. Very well priced and presented drinks and a magician to boot. My new favorite pub in Portsmouth. Can't wait to return.

Shahee Tandoori

Sunny's Fish Bar

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!!

Ali Baba Kebab House

Food is always great! I’ve tried most things on this menu and I’m never disappointed. Great value for money as well, it’s my number one go-to whenever I want takeaway, especially since the delivery is always so fast. 10/10 recommend to anyone

KFC Portsmouth - Pompey Centre

Food not hot, chips were cold. However KFC is always tasty.

Parking: Other retail units and football stadium nearby.

Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty good, however toilets not particularly disabled friendly.

McDonald's

I went at lunchtime, which was unsurprisingly busy.
The touch screens worked, but were unable to print order numbers.
The staff worked hard, were patient and cannot be faulted.

KFC Portsmouth - Binnacle Way

Sometimes we hit our targets on a fantastic friday and will grab a KFC for the pen pushing monkeys! the decor is very nice and staff are very helpful and provide fast service. Only thing I have a issue with is the fact some special items are not on the touchscreen pads (chicken christmas stacker burger). I recommend to all my friends and family to visit here.

Park 27 Cafe

Friendly, fast and efficient service and food. I visit here often and the food is consistently amazing. Definitely recommend if you want to try out authentic Asian food.

Uncle Sams

Uncle Sams is the place you go when you fancy a Burger King but done right. Flame grilled burgers, dressed properly, not drenched in cold mayo in an actually toasted bun for texture. Very good.

DICE Pizza

Had it two times and both times it was great the workers are really friendly and whenever I've got chips or pizza it's been amazing no complaints, great choice for a night out or just a meal in general

Poppins Cosham

I have been into Poppins for quite a few times now and I must admit it is a very good shop and a very good restaurant I would recommend Poppins to my friends and family and general public

Kam Too

The best chinese in Portsmouth... I have been going here for at least 20 years.... cash only... Great food at a great price... not had a bad dish in all that time and the staff are lovely.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access

DIM SUM HUT

Authentic delicious Asian food, dishes from a a variety of countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Chinese etc.) very fast service with generous portion sizes, everything I’ve had (which is most of the menu) was sooo tasty. Have nothing negative to say except would be great if they had a couple more dessert options like mango sticky rice or pandan jelly’s etc. but couldn’t recommend this place more :)

Green Posts

There was confusion with the order at first as the tables had been moved around and the waitress did not know where to deliver the food, but we didn’t wait too long and it was nice when it arrived. Build your own burger for £5 on a Wednesday was excellent value.

Nut Cafe Restaurant

Very good food, exceptional quality. Very helpful manager. Resolved my previous issue.
Will use this cafe every week .
Thanks for helpful service

Dietary restrictions: Need to leave 1hr or 2hrs after eating, before carrying out daily activities. Unable to do this as delivery took over 1.5hrs to arrive and I was not prepared for this
Had to cancel my evening arrangements due to delivery taking over 1 hour to arrive

The Lord Palmerston - JD Wetherspoon

Really good pub. Lots of space. Staff excellent. The toilets smell like a sweaty bollocks is my only negative. I always come here, it is overall one of the good spoons.

Subway

Me and my partner don’t come here very often but when we do it’s always so lovely. The staff are lovely and they take good care of the food when being made. One of the guys, is top tier he’s always so kind and very pleasant. Definitely recommend it :) !!

The Fleet Portsmouth

Visited for drinks and food before watching the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at the Guildhall. It exceeded my expectations, particularly the food. I had a 10oz steak, which was a decent hunk of meat, cooked perfectly (medium rare). Would definitely visit again.
