The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Beautiful place- inside lovely tea room and outside terrace available, friendly and extremely quick staff. Tea and scones are the best ever. Highly recommend!

Stunning cocktails and mock tails. Staff couldn’t do enough for us. The pink beach cocktail is absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely recommend this place. Just lovely sitting out in the sun here

Excellent value for money. The staff are competent and attentive. The chef produces interesting dishes. Altogether a good experience.

Good size meals, especially breakfasts. Good cuppa, no frills just true value, friendly staff. I would visit again and recommend this café.

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.

This bar is one of three pubs that are next door to each other and we were unsure of which one to choose. We were glad that we chose this one. The beer was excellent, it had a very good atmosphere with a good quality sound system and jukebox. It made a good end to our evening.

Such a pretty old building on the High St Brading. Can't think why we never found it before but the welcome was warm , the staff were friendly and efficient and the food was superb! Difficult to get a Sunday roast just right but they nailed it ! From the meat to the veg and the giant Yorkshires everything was generous and perfectly cooked and just as a traditional home cooked meal should be.

Este es un salón de té, que tiene excelentes sopas y sandwiches especiales, además de la hora del almuerzo pero no la cena por la noche. Tienen un ruido pero Parrot increíble. El acceso está restringido al subir una empinada escalera de caracol con una cuerda manejar, no he conocido a abierto por las noches, pero definitivamente vale la pena una visita.

Only popped in here for a quick latte, lovely place, friendly staff, great coffee, tad dear but as we know where the money is going fine by us, oh and free entry and parking and then off to the paddocks to meet the stars of the show, what's not to like.

We ordered 2 breakfasts and lattes, these were very good and tasty. Friendly staff and ambience good, only marked down as the seating appeared to be made of pallet type wood, so could snag on clothes or give splinters....

my wife and I and our 2 dogs popped in here for a hot chocolate. I ended up with a piece of cake and that was lovely. the hot chocolate was superb. we're booked in for an afternoon tea before we go home to the mainland . definitely recommend . very friendly and dogs treated as well

This place is a godsend for parents looking to entertain little ones on a wet day. Lots of toys, soft blocks to climb, and hot coffee for parents! I have a 3 yr and 1 yr old - and they were both happy for a good hour and a half.

Visited the Reef with friends after a dog walk. Our first visit for a number of years and afterwards wondered why we had left it so long. Excellent food options for either lunch or dinner. We were there for lunch and had the home-made fish fingers "sandwich" which was very good. The guy serving us was friendly and very efficient. Will definitely be going back again with family and friends now that we have tried it.

We were told about 'The Best Dressed Crab ' from our host where we stayed 👍 According to Google Maps, only a 7 minute drive from our location, we picked a day and phoned ahead to make a reservation ( don't visit without booking prior to going ). Because of local roadworks in place, it took nearly an hour to reach our destination 😩 We parked up alongside the river and proceeded to walk down the jetty to what looked like a mobile home in the river🥺 When we entered the hut, we were pleasantly surprised at how cosy and welcoming it was. We were shown to our table, and menus were received 👍 The menu was well put together with various dishes to tempt you from a crab sandwich to a full seafood platter🥲 We chose the seafood platter, and boy was that a great option, we had clams, prawns, crevettees, dressed crabs, mussels, lobster, and crab claws, all on top of a fresh salad tray with leaves, rocket and baby tomatoes, and two large chunks of baguette ( see photos ) all washed down with some prosseco and English ale it was very very tasty. It satisfied us thoroughly, so there was no room for dessert . Cannot recommend this place highly enough just wish we lived closer as I think this would be where I spent most of my hard earned English pounds in❤️ Please be aware that they can run out of seafood as they are governed by what they catch fresh that morning

Have been here many times as it's been here a long time, so very popular with tourists and local people alike!! The food is normal cafe food, but very nice!! We had a fry up but it's never greasy!! Good view of the pier and the sea too! Never have to wait long either!!
