The best restaurants in Cowes North Isle of Wight South East

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!!

Stopped for some excellent coffee (Lavazza) and a sandwich. A tiny, dog-friendly café, with a couple of tables outside. We sat inside and chatted to a couple of locals while Manny made our food and felt very welcome indeed. Recommended.

6 of us enjoyed fabulous toasties, Sausage rolls and baguettes in the sun, outside this fantastic little street cafe. The coffee was top notch and my daughter loved her Ice tea. The team were very helpful which led to my Mum purchasing some of their local IOW goods from selection of jams, biscuits, alcohol and cheeses. Great value, nice people and perfect location.

Stumbled across this cafe when facing a bit of a sugar dip on our visit to Cowes. We are pleased we did! Great selection of Gluten Free options including the waffles. I had a lovely brownie and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The cafe was clean and inviting with lots of cosy seating. A great spot of a snack or lunch if visiting Cowes!

I had this flavour last year and so pleased they have kept the Sicilian Pistachio ice cream flavour and well worth the extra 50p. Excellent service with a genuine warmth.

Really lovely little cafe on the stretch to the red Jet terminal. Friendly and helpful staff. Perfect way to start the day with their Haven Breakfast, a full English with good portions and will keep you going for the day. A great little find and take away options available too. Will be back.

One of the more insane restaurants I have ever been to. The owner is a bit over-friendly and the overall concept of surrendering choice to the kitchen is interesting but not necessarily what you might enjoy for a relatively expensive meal. The food is not bad if American home-style is your thing and you might enjoy the ever-present company of the owner if you are into Tequila shots. Overall quite a fun place but not somewhere I will return to any time soon.

Easily the best restaurant in cowes, that said, last time we went the service was quite slow which the staff blamed on a table of 25 in another part of the bar which considering our bill was £400 found the comment somewhat annoying which was the reason for not tipping.

Fabulous atmosphere, attentive but unobtrusive service, with amazing food and accompanying wines. Michelin quality food at very reasonable price. You know you've had a quality meal when you can recall the tastes a week later. We both had different dishes but not one disappointed. Really special!

"Not been there since it changed hands" "It was really good but haven't been there since the old people left" was what we were told. Well, as a real fussy bugger about my food, let me tell you we're very pleased that we went to Mojacs tonight as it was fab! We had the scallops and the king prawns as starters, both were cooked to perfection. I was hesitate about the apple and parsnip puree that came with the scallops as thought it would be too sweet but not at all. We had the lamb chops and the pork belly (from the specials board) and again, they were both delicious and cooked fantastically well. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself as you will not be disappointed

We were looking for a nice restaurant in Cowes for lunch on Saturday and found this one through TA. We had the most delicious meal served by the two sons (owners). They told us the restaurant has been in the family for over 30 years and you can tell this is an owner-run restaurant. They put such care into everything. Will definitely visit again.

Casual atmosphere, relaxed and friendly. We dined early so the service was prompt but not hurried in the slightest. Can particularly recommend the chowder. All the food was delicious and would recommend eating here.

A small menu but unusual, classy and creative dishes, beautifully presented, and an extensive wine list. Terri was welcoming and attentive. Recommended for a special meal out.

Average at best. £12.50 for 4 prawns on skewers as a sharing plate. The Moroccan chicken skewers with Cous Cous was below par and although presented relatively well it did not lend itself to the so called exciting dishes as advertised! The menu choices are not good and quite frankly sparse. The choice of desserts was disheartening, although reasonably priced. The drinks are expensive £3.50 for a half of Coke and £10 for a glass of wine is quite honestly too much. The Good friendly service from the front of house staff can’t be faulted. Average food at an above average price. Will definitely NOT be going back.

Well what can I say other than excellent food excellent service and excellent staff. One of the best curries we’ve had. Would highly recommend
