The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Why, why did NO ONE start a Save the Vic forum. Yes, I'm guilty 😔 😭

5/5 best bar in Ryde- no notes! The vibes are immaculate ⭐

Good cheap breakfast.cheap beer.good crack

Quaint little donut shack just off the high street! Donuts were lovely and service was fast and friendly :)

Great place to eat, not too expensive and lovely to watch the sunset

Went to visit and restaurant is no longer open, despite Google and Facebook pages saying it is. Please update the information about this restaurant so others are aware and don't waste their time visiting

A fantastic spot I often go and have breakfast at on a Saturday.

Freshly made loved the deli and the bbq hotdogs. Best chips in sandown!

The welcome was first rate. I’m guessing that there was a little problem with staff communication. The young lady who served our drinks was struggling, as some of our party had to wait some time. The food came out at roughly the same time. We were a party of 21. Food. The mixed grill. You couldn’t fault the amount of mixed meats. Lamb and beef, I asked for rare and was told that it couldn’t be done as the meats were cooked in a “package”. The meats came out universally “well done. It seemed to me that they were fairly new to the business and training new staff at the same time. My wife and I, intending returning as a couple next year. Given the amount of effort they’re putting in, I hope they succeed.

Very nice.. Great coffee... Cosy dogs always welcome.. Will always pop in if in Bembridge and need a coffee.. Relaxing inviroment and smashing garden area for hot summer days sipping wine and eating olives.. Staff are like friends from the minute u walk in.

Looking for somewhere different to go for lunch, we decided to channel our inner sailors and popped on the ferry to Cowes. Our mission? To discover a gem we’d found in the Michelin Guide, nestled midway up a hill so steep it could double as a ski slope. We arrived early and, naturally, indulged in a pre-lunch cocktail. I savoured an excellent dry Martini while my wife enjoyed their Signature Cocktail. Both were top-notch, though the chairs were so low I felt like I was sitting on the floor at a toddler’s tea party. Seriously, they were lower than a limbo-ing rattlesnake. We made it to the restaurant and embarked on a three-course Sunday Lunch adventure. For starters, we had Beef Carpaccio and Trout, which were delightful. For the mains, we chose Roast Beef and Guinea Fowl (delicious but portioned like I was on a diet). We finished with treacle tart and Mille Fois, all accompanied by a delicious Rosé that danced on our taste buds. A delightful surprise was seeing the owners dining in the room, tucking into the same Sunday Lunch. It’s always reassuring when the owners eat their own cooking – it’s a sign they believe in their food as much as we did. My only beef (pun intended) with the place was the table and chairs. I get that it’s a 'Bistro,' but white tablecloths would elevate the New England-style decor from charming to downright chic. In summary, a fantastic dining experience with cocktails to die for and food worth the ferry ride. Just remember to bring a cushion if you don't want to feel like you're dining in the Shire.

Unusual little venue, with small but creative menu. Good vegetarian and vegan options (in fact about half the menu choices are vegetarian or vegan). For lunch, we started with some garlic bread and cheesy garlic bread which was a very generous portion, and in hindsight we didn't need it! My partner had the Vegan Chili Pot, which was impressive and tasty (not massively spicy, tasty). My daughter had the mushroom risotto which was divine! Our little one chose off the children's menu and had a hot dog and chips! My seafood chowder was also very tasty. The food was creatively presented! Nice coffee also. It's a really nice atmosphere sitting in an ex-bandstand building, great views up and down the sea front.

Very warm and cosy place, great after a brisk walk

Had a fantastic meal here as a group of 5, delicious food and attentive staff! Really enjoyed the seafood pasta and wine choices!

Absolutely brilliant. It was exactly what we needed. Very family friendly and super accommodating. Staff went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after. Would highly recommend.
