The best restaurants in Ventnor East Isle of Wight South East

This cafe is a lovely friendly place to stop, the food was delicious and the fact it is a community cafe is even better. Definitely recommend

Some of the best (if not the best) ice cream I've had. Wide range of flavours, with the option to sample them before making a decision. The ice cream flavours available change fairly regularly, so there's often the option to try something new.

A very pleasant return to this firm favourite of a restaurant and again not disappointed at all, the food was absolutely top notch, the service was equally on par, a must for any foodie whilst in Ventnor.

Best breakfast we have had out in a long time. Dog friendly...child friendly... lovely smiley service.....

Amazing spot! Would recommend the stew and gambas pil pil - but everything we tried was delicious. Great wine too. Thank you Stefan and the team we will be back. 😊

We Went for Mother’s Day but we have been before for THE BEST SUNDAY ROAST EVER. it’s so homely and friendly the staff cannot do enough for you. The food is absolutely delicious and all home made.

Absolutely glorious!! Such a lovely spot and the seafood platters were so delicious and great value. Super friendly staff too

Very friendly and professional staff! We had a veggie breakfast and a mushroom toast, all very good!

Absolutely gorgeous food, well-balanced flavours, perfect portions, all beautifully presented. Haven't been this impressed by food in a long time. We weren't very hungry so just had a main dish each, but wish we had had room for starter and dessert! We will be back next time we're in IoW for sure.

Limited opening times but highly recommended Really super unusual cocktails and really inspired cooking - a good selection of small plates to satisfy anyone with an adventurous palette Friendly service and great ambiance Go go go!

Such a great simple dinner spot! We had amazing, fresh sourdough pizza and tomato pasta - tasted like it was made with love in an Italian grandmas kitchen. Will definitely be back 🍝🇮🇹 (good idea to book)

Carnabys is a fantastic place to go. Great homely atmosphere, super food and a wide range of drinks at very reasonable prices. If you go to Ventnor, its a nice place to pop in to

Excellent little bistro in Ventnor town producing food that is of a very high standard.

Well, what can I say except BLOOMING DELICIOUS! Managed to grab a table last minute on a Saturday night. The little restaurant, about 8 or 9 tables, was full apart from a table for 2 which we bagged. The menu is small but packs a gastonomical sucker punch to the taste buds. We started with the grilled asparagus, gabiche (a sauce made with hard boiled egg yolk, mustard and oil) with parmesan and some garlic bread. The starter was so delicious, the asparagus cooked to perfection and topped with the sauce was so full of flavour, never had anything like it but would definitely order again. And the garlic bread really complimented it. For the main course my husband went for the Ventnor wild garlic radiatori (little radiator pasta shapes) with cashew pomegranate and I chose the sea bass. We shared the dishes and both were equally excellent. Not a morsel left on our plates and our tummies fully satisfied. We washed it all down with a bottle of rose, chosen by the owner, Dita. Dita is attentive and so knowledgeable, happy to explain each dish fully and help with choosing the food and or wine. The service was impeccable. This little restaurant is a must if you're visiting Ventnor. Perfect for every taste; meat eaters, pescetarians, vegetarians and vegans. Do book though as it does get busy. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Go see for yourself!

What a lovely place. The owner / landlord was so knowable and helpfull. Great selection of beers and spirits at reasonable prices. Locals all lovely as well.
