The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Fantastic location lovely views beautiful garden. Friendly staff. Food very good. Found this hidden gem on the last day of our holidays wish it had been sooner.

Kate helped us with catering for two dinners for eight people over a weekend on the Isle of Wight. From my initial enquiry, Kate was incredibly helpful with suggestions for well balanced menus using local seasonal produce. Both dinners were dropped off by Kate at our rental house and we were given perfect instructions to heat up the various courses for both evening meals. The detail and care that Kate put into both dinners was exceptional and everything was absolutely delicous. I couldn't recommend Kate and Angel in the Kitchen more highly.

We hired The Bay Vegan Deli to cater for our wedding in September as it was really important to us that, not only was the food vegan, but that it was delicious and kept everyone full. It's safe to say Mel and her team blew us away with the incredible spread they put on. We were absolutely gobsmacked by the beautiful presentation, and all of our guests were wowed. Every single person we spoke to on the day (and since) complimented the food, saying it was absolutely delicious and they all went back for seconds (and some, thirds!) - what an amazing claim, considering the wedding of 50 guests had less than 5 vegans in attendance. Mel was professional, polite, calm, and just perfect to deal with from start to finish. Although she had another event to attend to after setting up, she left her very capable staff in charge of the buffet and they kept it topped up, tidy, and all cleaned down afterwards without a crumb left behind - the venue even complimented us the next day on how clean everything had been left! Just fantastic from start to finish. Mel & team, we cannot thank you enough for contributing to our special day. Hannah & Lyn xxx

We were passing and subtly heard the 60s music so decided it was time for a coffee. A fun experience….lots of Bowie posters. Great music. Coffee and cake ( vegan) were excellent and service was friendly. When we return to Ventnor, we will certainly visit you again. Thank you.

A wonderful place to eat; such a pleasure to visit and find a place that was so welcoming and being able such enjoy top quality food. Nothing was too much trouble; we had delicious sandwiches freshly prepared from local ingredients. Coffee that was fully flavoured, but refreshingly not bitter. All the cakes were definitely home made; tasting well and looking gorgeous. The cafe was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Our first visit, but definitely not the last.

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.  

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.

Laurel and Alex catered for our wedding this year and we can no recommend them enough! We love Mediterranean food and wanted something as a tapas style and they came up with the most amazing sounding menu....We were absolutely blown away when we went for the tasting session with them and they made the whole process really stress-free. There was not 1 person at our wedding who was not bowled over by the food we had on our wedding day and we still have friends and family talking about it now and wanting the recipes!!! We just want to say a massive thank you to Alex and Laurel for going above and beyond to help make our day unforgettable and we will definitely be recommending you to everyone!!!!

Just a 5 minute drive from the ferry. Very nice food and good service. Would recommend Bettys Brekkie. Fairly reasonably priced.

Visited this weekend with my family for the wine tasting and lunch - really impressed and looking forward to visiting again.

We popped in for a quick coffee and the service was excellent. We saw lots of orders come out of the kitchen and they looked very good value for money. Covid restrictions and hygiene being carefully followed

I regularly go to the artisan and am always greeted warmly, the coffee alone is worth the visit but the food is excellent as well. It is always busy and the staff are always friendly as are the customers.

My brother and I stopped here for lunch . We both ordered the omelette and fries . We were very impressed. The staff were nice and yes there is a friendly dog who follows everyone around. It is quite family orientated and it appears by the photos around they have sadly lost someone close. We ate in the garden as it was a nice day. B Overall , yes a bit hickledepicklede. But we loved it. Probably not for you if you don’t like dogs .

What a great cafe. Relaxed, cosy atmosphere. Good coffee and cakes. The lunch menu looked good too. It was a real treat to have an excellent pianist playing when we arrived. Lots of art displayed and adverts for upcoming music events - just wished we lived closer.
