The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

My sister and I had a beautiful high tea at the Brasserie. Sandwiches and cakes were amazing served with excellent coffee, my sister said her pot of tea was good too. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. Nice surroundings, we will certainly go again when my sister comes to stay.

Wow, we popped in for coffee and ended up having the Roast, I had Turkey, my husband the Beef. The quality and flavour were out of this world, best roast in a long time. Lots meat, roasties, fresh parsnips, homemade huge Yorkie.... Plenty veg served on a separate platter, the veg cooked to perfection with a slight crunch. Great ambience, very clean and tidy restaurant. Service prompt and friendly. Clean toilet. Thoroughly Recommend will be back, Thank you 😀

We recently enjoyed dining at Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa. The hotel has a warm and inviting atmosphere and all the staff were welcoming. We dined in the conservatory overlooking the beautiful gardens and stunning views of the lake. Our meal was delicious and the presentation was fantastic. Our server, Dom was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Thank you for recommending the irresistible sticky toffee pudding. Overall, we enjoyed a memorable dining experience at an elegant setting. We look forward to returning.

So glad we found this homely and welcoming Poppins.Staff lovely ,helpful and friendly.Nice atmosphere,like having a coffee and cake with friends.

Stayed at the Holliers Hotel for the weekend. Stayed there quiet a few years ago and was really nice the place was a bit tired back then but the food was amazing. This time the place is even more tired nothing has been changed the wallpaper is still coming off the walls, and the carpet is still the same. I know the new owners only took over in March this year but they have got a long way to go to get it up to date. The food wasn't great either. I would love to go back in a few years time to see what's changed if anything. The location us great and there is a great chip shop just up the road. Only 5 mins from the beach but very steep and the lift was broken. Don't bother going through Shanklin Chine £9.50 per adult to walk through the gardens really not worth it.

We popped in here for sausage rolls pasties and bread pudding on our holiday The best sausage rolls I've had for a long time and the lady who served me was so lovely

FINGER NAIL IN DRINK Absolutely disgusting place very poor hygiene standards and management. I probably experienced a diners worst nightmare finding a finger nail in my drink which disgustingly ended up in my mouth, imagine that another persons finger nail in your mouth how vile. when I approached the barmaid (who’s finger nail it properly was) about a refund which is not asking for much considering the circumstances she refused and she said the managers have to be present which they wasn’t as it was it a Sunday. I then asked for contact details of the manager she yet again refused saying she wasn’t allowed to do this. After hearing all these awful things and her not being a single help what so ever and showing no understanding how appalling the situation was I then tried to contact the emails I could find on the website, I emailed more then one email that I found about my visit just asking for a simple refund even though I could take the matter way further and neither gave me a reply. This shows the lack of care they have for there company and more importantly there customers. This leaves me with 2 questions why and how has a finger nail got in my drink of coke. Was the barmaid cutting her nails around a area of food and drink ? Probably so. Id absolutely avoid this place in case anything like these happens to you and you get the same treatment I did. Shocking hygiene standards never mind the hospitality.

I had an hour or two to kill in Ryde, so I decided to visit the Royal Victoria Arcade. I was drawn in by the Bohemian vibe, but stopped in my tracks when I arrived at the doomed ceiling and it's Devine frescos. They are truly stunning and worth a look. There are two shops that share this naturally lit central space at the end of the Arcade. Victoria Lanes is a well curated, nostalgic collection of memorabilia and paraphernalia from those Rule Britannica colonial times. The second establishment made me reach for my Canon. AJ's Diner has the most authentic 50's décor that I have seen this side of Route 66 and North of the Dixy Highway. Spotlessly clean and sanitised, Buddy Holly on loud, I settled in to the best cooked Full English that I have had in ages. Super heated under the salamander, just like on the Dixy Highway, I can assure you that AJ's breakfast is in a league of it's own. Well worth a visit next time you're lucky enough to be in Ryde

The friendliest cafe in Ryde. Great service and food. Always extremely welcoming for my four year old Barnaby - he is obsessed with the Chocolate Salami!

Brilliant pizzas & service. We had a pizza each, including a spicy pizza off the specials board that was recommended by the waitress. They even fulfilled my request for one of the pizza’s to be extra crisp! The pizzas were the best I have ever had. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

Very tasty and great portions. Dealt with allergies with no problems. We have used this Chinese on a previous occasions but had forgotten how good the food was. We won't forget again and will definitely be back.

We enjoyed a visit to the botanical gardens & decided to stop in to their cafe /restaurant for a bite to eat I must say that the views were stunning looking out onto the gardens , we were lucky enough to get a table on the veranda where a local choir were singing & it made our day The food menu is quite limited but there were a nice selection of cakes available & lots of unusual teas too The food we did order was delicious .. but they were small portions for the price ( I must admit it was one our most expensive eats while on the isle of wight!) All in all a great setting to enjoy a cup of tea & drink but maybe wouldn’t go back for food

Called in 2 real ales to choose from didnt stay for another :(. Only seemed to be locals in dont think visitors got much of a welcome. Wont be back.

If you want a quick bite to eat this is a pretty decent place. The staff are quick to take your order, and in my experience even in the busy period your food is usually done within 5-10 minutes. The price isn't ridiculous, and the burgers are good. My only disappointment was the chips, I found them to be a bit overcooked but other than that, I was happy with my experience.

Always a busy place but staff are efficient & the food is very good. We both had the turkey roast & we really enjoyed it. A relaxed local cafe & the price of food very affordable
