The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

If we could put an 11 out of 10 we would do. From the moment we were greeted at the door and coats taken to the friendly waitress who took us to our table and and gave us just excellent service. We started with a beer and expresso coffee while sitting and choosing what to have off the menu. Just to say every thing we chose looked good and was very tasty including a very nice bottle of wine. Plus we didn't feel rushed when we had our coffees at the end of our meal just a brilliant evening. Plus our friendly waitress sings and plays in a local band. Called Peachy Keen . They are good. Just a lovely evening we shall be back. Ken.Cindy

Some clever creative cooking in this tiny restaurant . A really great main menu where I could have picked almost everything We popped in for lunch . Smaller menu but great flavours . Tom yum seafood risotto was madly good and a Ventoux as they house red Spot on

An absolute delicious brekkie and super friendly staff. We were made to feel super welcome and would go back without hesitation and great views also 😍

Just celebrated my mums 85th birthday 🎂 in the best way possible with the most fabulously scrumptious afternoon tea at Lady Scarletts. From the wonderfully warm welcome, a beautifully decorated table in the heart of the tea rooms, full of delicious treats, candles and buckets of tea to the fabulous nostalgic wartime decor and music, a truly emmersive experience. Every attention to detail was made to ensure we celebrated in style and had everything we needed xxx Even Barney our faithful hound was treated to his own special seat at the table and treats! Cant recommend highly enough! If you're in Ventnor this is by far the best place to come for some tasty treats and to step back graciously in time with the quirky decor and the warmest of welcomes. Thankyou so much for making our mums birthday a truly magical and memorable occasion ✨️

Great food and coffee, always a friendly environment would highly recommended Dog friendly environment in the heart of Freshwater town.

This place has become our go-to for breakfast, and for good reason! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, creating a cosy atmosphere that makes every visit a pleasure. The food is fantastic—we always opt for the full breakfast with a coffee, and it never disappoints. Everything is cooked perfectly and served with care. It’s the kind of place you’d happily go back to time and time again. Highly recommended for a great start to your day!

Went for late opening in Ventnor. Is was quite. Which is a bad sign in my book. Either the food is bad or it’s expensive. I found it to be both. The owner was very unhelpful and look down her nose at us. Not sure who she thinks she is. Not a nice woman at all

The staff were great and the food fantastic the ambiance superb. The waitress who served us made us feel we were the only ones there and nothing was ever too much trouble for her. The food selection was varied and exciting will be back soon.

Honestly some of the best food I have ever eaten. We had the set menu and there was so much food for 6. They even replaced every meat dish for the sole veggie in our party. I am still dreaming about the cheese and cider pot, and the meatballs and steak were just so delicious. I live on the mainland and was staying with friends, but the food is so good I would be tempted to come back just for a meal and get the ferry home! Also service is top notch - attentive but low - key at the same time - you didn't notice wine being topped up and dishes being cleared - fab fab fab!!

Amazing, the food and drinks were delicious. The service was great, definitely my new favourite place. Small but beautiful what more could you ask for

What a treat! Pizza to die for!! Great selection, prepped and cooked in front of your eyes in an impressive wood fired oven. Fully licenced. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be going again. Bravo!

Such a good meal! Very well seasoned meat. The fries were so good too. The mac balls were insane! Basically all round super yummy food! We all enjoyed our meals (table of 9) The service was great! Staff attentive & smiley. Highly recommend :)

Oh my goodness, what a fantastic place. I found it difficult choosing from the mouth-watering menu. Healthy, nourishing, beautifully presented and so very tasty. Great service and great value - can’t wait to go back.

Well what can I say, Toni's is a fabulous little tea room located on the sea front. We visited just before lunch as we wanted a snack & a drink. Pobably the best I've visited on the Isle Of Wight, lovely staff, a restful atmosphere and above all, freshly made food. Oh, how could I forget, the beautiful little dog Tolusha, fast asleep on a chair she made her own, bless her. If we are ever back on the IOW, we'll definitely return again. Highly recommended.

What a great welcome. Stop for a refuel bacon bab was prefect top class bacon nice soft bab and perfectly cooked. The cafe was spotless. It’s a place not to be missed.
