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.

FABULOUS!! We had the best night at CIWYW.. the food was amazing, so tasty and plentiful and Mark was a fantastic host. Everyone must try this place if they visit the IOW..

We were blown away with the menu, so many wonderful things to choose from. I chose a daily special of Seabass- it did not disappoint, husband had another special again he said it was spot on. Kids had pizza and pasta so they too were happy. Service was very attentive and friendly and we went away full and happy! The place was busy which is great to see. What a great find on our holiday. Thanks for looking after us.

Superb! Fantastic food and service and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We had a lovely evening.

"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.

Last night was superb. Excellent food, friendly atmosphere…Number 3 is an important and much valued part of our lives, having been coming frequently for about 18 years. Will have to force ourselves to come again on Saturday, as my brother won’t visit us on the Island unless he comes to No.3.

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
