The best restaurants in Eastney and Craneswater Portsmouth South East

Had a lovely brunch, with my family, at Melodys today. Portion sizes were very generous, and the food was delicious. So nice to see a genuine independent cafe, still run by a local person who cares for her community.

This was my 2nd visit of 2022. It did not disappoint. We had pre-booked the Christmas Afternoon Tea. WOW! A selection of seasonal hot drinks were offered as well as tea and more usual coffee selections. Next, finger sandwiches also with a seasonal Christmas theme, along with pigs in blankets and stuffing balls (served hot). Gorgeous scones with clotted cream and jam. And a lovely selection of bakes, which we had to take away as we were too full! This cafe really is a little gem. Thank goodness I don’t live near enough to come too often or I wouldn’t fit through the door. Loved it!

Got a delivery from here for two messy ranch burgers and fries. The burgers were delicious - *properly* smashed (a few places that claim to do “smash” burgers just do regular grill/pan it seems) and the skinny fries were top tier - 10/10 crispy and perfectly seasoned. If I was going to be a complete fusspot/picky I’d just say the bun could be slightly bigger, and crisp the burger a tad more. Highs recommended.

This place does not exist anymore?

It’s Mustard is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed time out, and meeting with friends. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming ambiance. The food was delicious, one of the best Sunday roasts I've had to date. Sorry Mum!! It's clear that care and attention have gone into crafting a great customer experience. A must-visit for anyone seeking a friendly time out.

Well priced. Friendly staff. Guiness is good also.

Great atmosphere and shaded. Excellent food and friendly service.

My partner and I are regulars here. It's easily the best Thai place in Portsmouth and one of the very few authentic places. It's so hard to find authentic Thai in the UK but this place is it. Value for money is excellent and with it being BYOB we rarely spend more than £20 a head.

I am just sat at home enjoying the a cheese and carmalised onion scone from fresco, they even gave me a little pot of chilli jam - YUM. I came in for breakfast with my nan, we both had the incredible Banana Bread Porridge and were made to feel so welcome. I often come with my family, the kids menu is perfect. I am even hesitatnt to post this shining review as i dont want everyone to know how fantastic it is here.. We are so lucky to have it in Southsea. Well done team Fresco!

Fantastic Friday night in the Festing Pub. A right mixture of characters, everyone very friendly and a great bar staff. Lovely pint of Guinness.

Finding this bar was a lovely surprise. Great Sunday dinner with cheaper than most lagers.

all this is due to being delivered to the wrong address and then being delivered by a kind neighbour plus the poppadoms where missing

We had a very short stop in Southsea and grabbed a Gyros on our walk. Very happy that we did! The guy was really friendly. The gyros was excellent, authentic and very good value

My wife found this place when we popped down to Eastney beach. Little wait for a table but well worth it. Lovely food and a real gem. Service was swift and we really enjoyed our lunch.
