The best restaurants in Ryde North West Isle of Wight South East

What a lovely place for breakfast; very welcoming. Did not book, but got lucky. The place is very popular and now we know why. Food was piping hot and exceptional. I had the big breakfast and a coffee, wifey had poached eggs on toast and a coffee. Great views out the door of the Portsmouth tower. We will definitely be trying to get back before we leave the island.

A great family run business and a fantastic place to eat. I love the deli counter and fresh produce. Highly recommended 💜

Had their full breakfast which is the usual one of each (2 bacon) with a drink and toast. The portion sizes were acceptable but not generous, and it was padded out with too many diced potato pieces, as well as being slightly overcooked/overheated. However their Breakfast was certainly okay, and the accompanying choice of Tea was really good, and made over two full cups. On the downside the cost of £9 was expensive for what was served, especially in comparison to many similar venues. It was clean inside and the service prompt and efficient. Unfortunately it was also too chilly in there and needed to be much warmer to be comfortable.  

We all loved the food we ate here in this relaxing, chilled out vegan restaurant with lovely service. Nothing to fault! These were our last moments spent on the island and I realised that Ryde was very fortunate to have such a place. If I lived locally I’d be there a lot for coffee and cake which they also do. Vegans and non vegans, do try them out!

Being a local I did not stay at the hotel but I thought I'd try the food as eating out in Newport is limited to say the least (unless you like pizza/pasta, there are at least 4 of these). I fancied traditional pub food which today is a scarce as all the pubs seem to be in the Gordon Ramsey mode, posh food, very little of it and expensive. The Wheatsheaf’s menu included real pub classics including Steak and Ale pie, Pork Belly, Steak and Chips, Lamb Shank to name a few. For starter’s I opted for the chilli prawns, a generous portion, cooked perfect and presented shell off which saves all that peeling and messy fingers! Starters are all priced at £5.00. I followed this with a perfectly cooked 8oz sirloin steak (med-rare) with lovely crispy chips and a blue cheese sauce accompanied by a nice crisp fresh salad, (which was not just a bowl of leaves like in most places). Although the chips were frozen they were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, perfect, I almost mistook them for the latest fad (3 times cooked chips). The chef must have a trick up his sleeve. The steak was cooked perfect. A field mushroom would have been a nice touch. Here's the good bit, all main dishes are only £10, if you fancy steak you do pay a £4.00 supplement which is fair. Even though I was stuffed I could not resist the homemade Rhubarb Crumble with cream. I managed to eat ¾ of it. Again, all the desserts were priced at £5.00. All I can say is although this pub has had a bad reputation for food in the past this is certainly not the case now, it’s really worth giving it a try.

We had a lovely light lunch in this tranquil, secret courtyard garden in Ryde. The food, drinks and coffee were all good and the service excellent. We are always on the look out for quiet dog friendly venues and this place delivered.

this was my first time here and i had breakfast, but this was the best breakfast by far, there was plenty food which was tasty and hot, the service was friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere in the cafe, lovely views of the solent and toilets were clean, i will be using this cafe again

I went here a number of years ago. It hasn't changed. It is still a warm, friendly place, with a great welcome from all the staff and excellent food. I would always look forward to returning here.

Disappointed with my chicken tikka baguette , the chucks of chicken are far too big for baguette without any sauce that it all kept falling apart , certainly not a sandwich filler anymore . Shame as I was looking forward to it 😕.

Delicious food, nice ambiance and lovely staff. Would definitely come bacn

Came here with my partner late october for his birthday. cocktails were really good and well priced, 2 for £12 happy hour during the week. music was good and well suited for the vibe. bartender was incredibly good.

Nice busy cafe, lots going on with a lot of choice to make your own baguette. Popular with the locals for lunch who fancy an upgrade from a morrisons meal deal.

Really impressed with this place, great deal on cocktails from 4 to 7pm 2 for 1 cocktails, I had jungle juice and long island ice tea both were lovley. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice & beans, the chicken was two big leg's and it was juicy and tender, the sauce had a mild kick not to spicy and really flavourful, decent portion size filled my boots. Great service too very friendly. Would definitely recommend on an evening out!

I usually go to Wights for fish and chips as they are excellent.However,due to upgrading, I found they were closed.The nearest fish and chip shop was Tony’s.So I thought I would give them a try.Unfortunately, due to the ridiculously small portions,I won’t be going back.I don’t see how they could charge so much for about a dozen or so chips.I had to pay an extra £2 to get enough for two people.Wights are always excellent and not swamped in grease like Tony’s.Shame.

Really enjoyed our visit here yesterday. My husband and I both had a bagel which was really delicious. I had the chicken and avocado and it was really packed with filling, so tasty. The staff were friendly and welcoming, I would definitely return.
