Stripped in Isle of Wight

Wonderful family run restaurant. Great Pizza, lovely Goulash. Highly recommend it. Nice and central in the middle of Ventnor. Check opening times as not open every day

Went for dinner yet again last night with a friend and again not disappointed, the service was excellent and the food as normal was absolutely fantastic.

We had a delicious meal at this lovely restaurant. Excellent food and drink and very friendly couple who make you feel so welcome. We will definitely return!

Wow, wow & WOW! Tonight we were invited to create some content for Stefan & Ramona (Owners) of the taste sensation Stripped Brasserie and I can assure you that it absolutely did not disappoint. Walking through the door you immediately feel a very chilled vibe, great atmosphere and most importantly ably a very warm welcome from Stefan. Having looked at the menu we decided to ask Stefan for his personal recommendations which he was more than happy to offer and this is where it REALLY got interesting, excuse me for a second whilst I just try and stop myself salivating at just the thought of the food again! A starter created, designed by Ramona completely from her imagination we tucked in to the flatbread which is topped with Camembert, honey roasted walnuts and crispy bacon before having another squirt of honey for good measure, WOW! Genuinely, this starter has to be in the TOP 5 of any dish I have EVER tasted and is a must when you come and visit! The second starter we shared were garlic infused prawns tossed in butter, I mean come on? Are your taste buds not doing star jumps already? On to the main event whilst our taste buds are still trying to recover from the knockout starter! Lamb chops? No, not just any Lamb chops, these are BIG, JUICY, SUCCULENT and perfectly cooked , locally sourced Lamb chops and I can promise you that you will be stunned at the value for money! Whilst enjoying our feast Stefan asked if we would like to try a wine that was very special to him, not only was we happy to try the wine but we felt very privileged that Stefan shared a story with us from when he was a young 14yr old lad working in the vineyards picking grapes in Romania, the bottle of wine he proudly held in his hand was only a bottle of wine from the very vineyard that took him back to his childhood. Stefan, Ramona, thank you! It was a pleasure to meet you both and thank you for inviting us to taste your mouth watering food and for making us feel not only welcome but apart of your journey for the night. We look forward to visiting you again soon. All the best. Chelsea & Ross

A great little brasserie for a cosy dinner with friends or family. Great atmosphere, small but varied menu, good service and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend.

The food was extremely tasty and the service was friendly. we will definitely be heading back when we return to the island.

We've been a few times now and never been disappointed..

Such a lovely, friendly, welcoming place with great food.

Excellent vegetarian meal!! Absolutely perfect service, decor, music and wine! I recommend 100%

We enjoyed a fantastic meal here whilst staying in Ventnor, great service from Stefan and the food was delicious. Recommend the lamb chops! Highly recommend a meal here, starters, mains and dessert were all great!

Very tasty food. Recommend the goulash and the apple pie, they were stand out dishes. Nice ambience and very attentive staff.

The best Restaurant experience we had on The Isle of Wight. Stefan and the team went out of their way to make our dinner experience unforgettable. We recommend this small Brasserie from the heart as they have the customer service at a top level and their food is not only fresh and cooked to order but very tasty and beautifully presented. Well done guys, you made some new regular customers and we wish you many evenings full of customers.

I messaged the restaurant page with a week’s notice asking for a large booking (16). We were looking to celebrate a special family occasion so needed a booking as soon as possible. Stefan quickly responded asking us to be flexible with our time and trying his best to squeeze us all in. We did pre-orders to speed things up on the evening which was really useful and on the night the service was amazing making sure that even the small ones had their food first and everyone was happy. I personally had the lamb shank (Kleftiko) which was amazing and the family pretty much had every pizza on the menu followed by a round of brownies. Fully recommend Stripped amazing service and amazing food and great for big groups thanks Stefan and the team we will certainly be back.

Another satisfying visit to this absolute gem of a Restaurant. Stefan is an excellent host, perfectly complimented by Ramona who produces superb food from the kitchen. Buzzy, relaxed atmosphere and a really good wine list! Definitely recommend the Turkish flatbread starter, and watching it being made fresh in front of you makes it that little bit extra special. Really, really good experience all round and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you team Stripped :)

We could not come to the Isle of Wight and not visit Stripped Brasserie. Once again, they have outdone themselves , the food was amazing, my husband and friends highly recommend the beef goulash, the pizza was lovely and light and the padron grilled peppers were delicious! One day, we may leave enough room to have a desert !! Looking forward to coming back when we visit again in March. Thank you all for a lovely evening.

Really pleased we chose to eat here while visiting Ventnor. Delicious food and drinks, great atmosphere and everyone was really friendly.

Came here for dinner and were super happy with the whole experience. Stefan was very welcoming to us and our Akita from the moment we walked in the door. The service and food was excellent. Would definatly return in the future!

A great meal at this lively place in the centre of Ventnor. Some lovely flavours for our starters and the lamb chops for main were meaty and delicious. Great service too really friendly and welcoming, would return if in town

Absolutely lovely meals and generous wine choices. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Sometimes the best places are found in the strangest places.

We had such a lovely time at stripped brasserie. Stefan took really time with us explaining the menu and the specials. The food was absolutely stunning. The meze options were great and the lamb chops were to die for. Would recommend to anyone to go here for a wonderful dinning experience

Amazing food at reasonable prices wonderful atmosphere and great staff especially the Owners...A must visit for lunch or dinner in Ventnor

Our first visit but not last. Amazing food and lovely staff. See you soon. Thank you for the lovely food.

Superb food with a wide selection of wines and a great atmosphere. The owners and staff are very welcoming and ensure that you have an enjoyable experience. I will certainly be going back again.

Visited Stripped late August for dinner on a Thursday evening, we had no booking but Stefan fitted us in at a perfect time for us. The food was terrific, I had the special a burger made with spiced meat, amazing. We also had the Gambas pil pil, again lovely. Service was just right, making recommendations and making me a special Negroni. Which was one of the best I've had. Highly recommend this superb Brasserie.

Always such a great experience, quickly becoming our favourite place to eat and such great service and food 🙏👌😃

What a great restaurant all round, the food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the owners are such a lovely couple. Always a good sign when the locals are regulars. We loved it so much we went again during our stay in Ventnor.

The food was incredibly good, both the starters (chorizo ​​and prawns) and the main courses (fish and lamb). We enjoyed ourselves from start to finish. The staff are lovely. The best restaurant we tried on the island.

Lovely little place and a perfect addition to Ventnor,it’s advised to book in as this will always be busy and you can see why the food,atmosphere and service was absolutely 5 star

Love this new find. You need to book as it's small and intimate. Great food and lovely staff. Will return.

Went for dinner here last week and had a delicious meal which was very reasonably priced. I brought my dogs with me and the team were so accommodating and lovely (lots of treats and cuddles). I will definitely go back here when I return to Ventnor!

One of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in! We booked a table for an early evening sitting on a Sunday (after a day walking along the coast). This little gem of a find is on the high street and easily accessible - with on street parking nearby. We were greeted on arrival by the very friendly and welcoming owner - who explained what each of the specials were. The menu isn't vast but there is an amazing selection and we opted for a selection of wonderful homemade dips as well as the prawn and chorizo starters. Our main courses (lamb kleftiko and pork chop with beans) were equally delicious but we regretted opting for the meze as well as starters, because we were too full to take advantage of the equally appealing sounding desserts. The restaurant has a lovely relaxed vibe, the chefs are visible on entering and all the staff are so very friendly and attentive - it's just a shame we were on holiday and didn't get a chance to return there. Highly recommended if you want top quality food in a lovely, well run location.

Very nice and cozy place. A taste of Romania makes you both want to return here and visit Romania at the same time. Recommended 😀👍🫶🫶

Wow, where do we start.....amazing food, wonderful hosts, fantastic venue ! We have been for dinner two days in a row and are so impressed. Can highly recommend the pork chop , the seabass and the zacusca ! if you are in Ventnor make sure you visit this hidden gem, you are made to feel so welcome. We can't wait to come back and try all of the wonderful delights they have to offer! many thanks Lucian, Lissa, Lumi and Mihai x Thank you , Multumim pt tot ❤️❤️❤️

We booked stripped last minute after our booking at another restaurant fell through. Thoroughly great experience from start to finish. A newly opened restaurant owned by a lovely couple. The service was great and the food even better, highly recommend to give it a try if you are in the area

This classic Ventnor venue is back with awesome burgers and pizza, plus a whole new menu of delicious stuff. A great friendly place for a really good laid-back dining experience.

A must visit in Ventnor! We were lucky enough to find this amazing place. Really nice food, definitely recommend the mezze small plates Romanian inspired, some of the best dips we have ever tried. The staff was really lovely, super attentive and friendly! Making for a fab Friday night atmosphere, with a mix of visitors and locals! Thank you so much for a lovely time! If you want to visit on a busy night I definitely recommend booking in advance :)

Absolutely amazing food, all freshly prepared in front of you. Fantastic wine menu. Lovely atmosphere & service. Couldn't recommend more highly!

What a lovely evening out dining, greeted by Stefan as I entered the building and asked for a seat of which they had one table left and I was dining on my own and didn't seem any problem what so ever to accommodate me. Beautiful venue, intimate and stylish but also very welcoming. Food was served and a beautifully served burger and rosemary fries was placed in front of me. Tucking into this delicious burger (cooked medium) was nothing short of glorious and the fries were to die for. Stefan's wife Romana works in the open kitchen area and she is a joy to chat to aswell as well as their colleague Archie. All in all I would recommend this to anyone visiting or local as food is top class.

Lovely to have stripped reopened but under new management with new menu. We had the Greek grilled chicken pizza with Greek salad and three mezze plates and my son had a burger which he rated a 10. The food was fresh and delicious and Stefan is a great host, the whole place has a good vibe … Didn’t get desert this time but will be back for more as soon as possible. Worth a visit when in town.

We had a Calzone and a Marigherita Pizza followed by the brownie and pistachio ice cream. Service was amazing and the owners were lovely. Truely authentic Italian pizza. A must for a quick meal .

You must visit this restaurant! The food is excellent, cooked to perfection. Honestly one of the best places we have eaten in for a long time. Its run by an amazing husband and wife team. Such a nice atmosphere, it was our first visit and we will definitely be returning. Thankyou again for a lovely evening, see you when we are back in Ventnor :)

Had a very delicious and well balanced dinner with fresh produce, healthy salads and home made breads. The chicken was grilled perfectly and everything is deliciously seasoned. The restaurant is run by a hospitable couple, that has lived in Greece before moving to the island, so the menu has a nice Greek influence. We could really taste the love and knowledge they put into their work.

New owners, Stefan and Ramona are perfect hosts. Fantastic food and wine, delivered with passion and attention to detail, but without being overbearing. It’s the 2nd time in a week that I have chosen to eat here. Quite perfect..!

Great pizza, nice atmosphere and lovely people!

We were delighted to find the restaurant open as we walked into town. It has new owners and they have changed up the menu. For starter we shared the creamy mushroom and special which was phenomenal. We had the sea bass and cauliflower steak. Both were amazing, one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Can also recommend the brownie for dessert! To drink we had a cherry negroni and a aperol spritz both excellent, The new owners are friendly and welcoming. Wishing them all the best for taking on this restaurant.

New owners have taken over, and the menu is now much more varied than it used to be - I had the seafood pasta special which was superb. As was the chocolate brownie - wow. Decor is much warmer, and Stefan was a knowledgeable and charming host. A thoroughly enjoyable evening!

Delicious food and great service👍

Great burgers and the Crab fries and Frickles are to die for!

Stripped now serves pizzas as well as burgers, so we went along to try them. We were not disappointed. After a starter of pitta bread and humous, we both had the pepperoni pizza with their melon salad as a shared side. We both loved the pizzas, and unfortunately too full up to have the brownies for dessert - hopefully next time. Another great meal, thank you Stripped.

Loved this place. We went as a family, having booked ahead by text message (it was only open Weds to Sat). Very popular and the food is very good. Our 9 year old is coeliac and they had a gluten free bun (and burgers are gluten free). Great atmosphere and great food. Would definitely recommend but suggest you book.

Best burger on IOW - make sure you book for Friday and Saturday nights (not much seating inside - also it's on the high street not at the church like the listing says). Service was fab, simple menu but what they do they do really, really well.

Really good burgers and chips! Very reasonably priced. Excellent attentive staff. Jo was our waitress and she was so friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back.

Great fancy burger with amazing special options. Pricey, but quality food so worth it. Limited opening days. Hopefully more in the summer

Came with a few friends for dinner. Amazing food and the staff were super friendly. Would definitely come again.

The idea behind Stripped is that it is just that - stripped down. From the décor (which is great) to the food and drinks (good wine or better wine, beers and lagers etc). The menu is burgers - but a good selection of burgers, with great sides. We like the hummus with pitta bread as a starter and we have the salad with whichever burger we choose - along with their signature fusion fries. This last time we tried both the two Special burgers that were on that day. As we could not decide who will have which they kindly cut the burgers in half and served half each! A treat not to be missed!

3 of us went for dinner at stripped the night before my wedding. From the moment we walked in the service was impeccable, we all had different beers from the wide selection available whilst deciding what to order to eat. After a long debate we all decided to go for the special bbq smash burger (I think that’s what it was called) with 2x crab mayo fries and 1x fusion fries on the sides. The burger was without a doubt the best burger I’ve ever had (I’ve had many a burger over the years) it was so good, cooked to perfection. The fries were also amazing. 100% best burger you’ll find on the island! Thanks to all the staff for a brilliant experience…..we will be back! Unfortunately I was enjoying the food so much I forgot to take any pictures.

I don't have any more photos as we ate it too quickly! Friendly service and delicious food

Absolutely top notch burgers, defo bringing my kids next time. Let me tell you it’s worth the visit just for the home made mayo with crab and fries..! I can’t write anything more about the burgers without it DRIVING ME CRAZY! The best burger I have ever had - 10/10! Meat and plant based were both as yummy.

We were visited for a burger and we're not disappointed. I am lucky enough to have traveled in the US a lot and this was one of the best burgers I have ever had! Simple menu and locally sourced ingredients. I had the smash burger and my wife had the plant burger and we shared the fusion fries and dill pickles and I would recommend you try all. We will be coming back and have already recommended family members visit.

Not all burgers are equal. These are top notch - the meat or the plant burgers. The salad is nice either as a starter or to compliments the burger and chips. The fusion chips are my favourite out of the chips on offer. And the chocolate brownies are perfect to finish off with.

We ate at Stripped when it was a restaurant and ordered from the burger van during the carnival. Amazing burgers, great chips & friendly service.

Amazing burger and amazing Pizza.

After a long day exploring Ventnor and surrounding area we wanted something warm to eat but not a full on sit down restaurant meal, we stopped by to see what was on offer and we ordered a smash burger each which we thoroughly enjoyed. As others have said do not be put off by the van, the burgers are pure gourmet quality.

As others have intimated - forget all your preconceptions about buying burgers from a van. These burgers are terrific and the fusion fries are just something else, not like any other chips I've tasted. Can book online and specify your pick-up time in advance, you can also state any requirements you have for your burgers ie if you don't want any of the ingredients. Strongly recommended.

As with other reviews, I stumbled upon this place when unable to get a seat in a restaurant. Glad I couldn't as the burgers and fries were simply amazing. I eventually over the next few days got into some of the fully booked restaurants only to be disappointed. Now with only two nights left on the Isle of Wight I'm spending one of them at the van in the church yard with a burger as it's probably the best meal I've had in my two weeks here. Burgers are amazing and the loaded fries are a stroke of culinary genius, try it.

The best burger and chips!! The fried dill pickles were amazing too!

Ordered this as last minute desperation at not finding a table for a meal out. Hidden gem serving burgers from a van in beautiful quaint church yard, where there is some seating available (or take out option). Superb quality and good value for quality ingredients....

Whilst the Stripped restaurant has not been able to open, the Stripped burger van has been positioned outside Unit 5, Old Station Road, Ventnor PO38 1DX at weekends. The burgers are big and beautiful and juicy, and the extras you can get make it even...

Closed during Covid, but when they were doing the burger truck in Ventnor (as they were in December), I scheduled my weekend around it. The cheeseburgers are amazing. They also offered a few interesting sides; I'm partial to the fried pickles, especially because sour pickles seem really hard to find in the UK (most pickles here are sweet). Hope they come back soon!

Got vegan burgers and kids beef burgers from the Stripped on the road van in Ventnor - absolutely fantastic! Thank you!!

Very tasty and change from the normal cuisine you get on the isle. The chips are amazing. Highly recommended

Had a very relaxing early dinner with the grandkids. The venue is stripped right back and though the idea is trendy, may not be to everyone‘s taste. The burgers however were a different thing altogether, best I’ve had in a long time and the paprika...

Writing this before we’ve even finished our food! Such an amazing meal, cheeseburger and fusion fries was to die for. This will be a regular for us. Service was so friendly and kind, such an amazing place to eat. Six stars if we could give...

Promoted as cool and chic because the interior is that of a stripped out former bank and because the menu is supposedly stripped of unnecessary faff and pomp and back to tasty basics. Parts of the `basic` interior is verging on neglected and although the...

The food was delicious. The lady serving was very helpful. We were lucky enough to be able to sample the Oktoberfest menu as well as the usual menu. The cheese burger I had was very tasty. We would definitely go back.

Fabulous food and service. We experienced the menu designed to reflect the German Octoberfest and were fortunate to do so. Great tastes of quality.

The food is amazing! Easily one of the best if not the best pizza I've ever had in my life. So much so we went back within a week! Great quality service too.

Yes the decor is a bit bonkers but loved the quirky specials menu - Oktoberfest themed at the mo. Lots of intriguing dishes (specially if you’re a sausage/sauerkraut fan - tho veggie/vegan also catered for) but plumped for the breaded chicken burger with fig mustard...

Hamburger et pizza très bons. Personnel super sympa. Prix pas très bon marché, mais corrects. Pour celui qui veut bien...

I've been following Stripped in Instagram and wanted to try them out when visiting the island. However the menu is quite limited and very pricey (although the starters were very big portions). My beef katsu burger was tasty but too thick and the crust was very greasy. I was a bit disappointed and although the food was okay, I probably wouldn't go again because their pricing is too high.

Not really one for reviewing but couldn’t help myself. What a cracking no-frills burger bar. The staff were friendly, particularly Dita, a great hostess. The cheeseburger is exceptional, the fries mouth-watering and the pizza delicious. Next time I’m in Ventnor I’ll be there. Great value...

Ventnor is a feast for all the senses, especially during the Fringe. Where to eat between gigs? Stripped was our target. The rustic interior, a bank I never used when I lived in Ventnor during the 1980s, has a 'trendy London' feel, albeit in a...

We had a tempura burger, some aubergine and a pepperoni pizza. While the burger and the aubergine were lovely, pizza, on the other hand, was rather unpleasant. Interiors are nice and the staff is friendly and helpful.

We popped in here the other evening on our way back from another event hoping to get a table and we were lucky enough to be showing to a shared table but I think that seems to be the set-up in the restaurant in general...

Awesome burger and skinny fries. Kids loved their burger and pizza too!

Excellent! If you THINK you've had the best burger ever but you haven't visited this place ... You're mistaken! This is a lot more excitng than just pizza / burgers. And lovely people giving great service. Oh, and good range of beers and wine.

Service was great, food was really nice. The katsu plant burger is really nice and I'm not vegan!

Food was lovely service was fun and friendly. Grate place with a nice chilled casual atmosphere will definitely be returning

I have been to Stripped quite a few times now as it easily my favorite place to eat on the entire Island. The last time I went (last week) I had without doubt the best burger I have ever had- the Katsu Vegetarian Patty Burger....

We came here after a harrowing experience at another eatery and the energy level of the family was low. But, it was an amazing experience. They had really good drinks. They had board games which we could play. Their pear, creme fraiche, walnut pesto pizza was out of this world. They absolutely turned our evening around!

Excellent food and very accommodating staff. The best food we had during our holiday and an essential visit

Stumbled over this place by accident walking through Ventnor and have to say is easily the best burgers on the Isle of Wight!

Beyond amazing from start to finish, not only was the service superb but the food delivered what the fantastic atmosphere gave us a glimpse into. We all sampled burgers off of their simplistic but perfect menu and also a Special ‘Beef Katsu Burger’. The dishes took a reasonable time to arrive and once they did, it was worth the wait. The burgers looked as if they were photoshopped and tasted equally as terrific. The fusion fries on the side were also a sweet blend of smooth and spicy which tantalised our tastebuds to the max.

This was recommended to us by a local as good nosh. For a relatively unassuming looking place from the outside it came up with the goods and the food was delish. My friend had a Katsu vege burger on recommendation and I had a pizza and both were really good. In addition the service was outstanding. Super friendly, super helpful and would definitely return and recommend. Nothing not to like!

On the face of it ‘Stripped’ is a burger and pizza restaurant, however, venture inside and you soon realise that the menu is imaginative, the food is of high quality and the flavour combinations will amaze you.

As a local, I know both Cantina and Stripped very well, and sometimes I might add, I dine at both in the same day. I know most of the staff very well, some as friends including the owner. This closeness, however was born through the food which is consistently high in quality, rich in imagination and deeply satisfying in its taste.

Food was ok. My veggie burger was good but fusion chips were far too salty. Three burger 3 chips 4 beers and a coke came to £64 pounds. For what it was it is extortionate

been here before but wasnt impressed with the selection but opted for the lamb burger special this time and have no regrets. highly recommend

Good and interesting flavours for the beef katsu burger. fries were solid but not mind blowing. bottom of the burger bun was incredibly soggy though. was told it was a steamed bun ?

Have been here once before with a few friends and wasn't a fan of their limited choices and just settled for the Beef Chilli fries which I thought was alright.
