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!

Found this place online which had great reviews so thought I'd give it ago. It was a quiet Wednesday evening and the place was quiet. The guy serving was also cooking the food so he was back and forth but really friendly and happy to see me. I ordered the classic messy burger and it was honestly one of the best smashed burgers I've had, and I've had a few. The bun was toasted perfectly and the 2 smashed patties were cooked just right and melted in the mouth. The chips were so good, lots of Cajun session but not overpowering with the right flavour to match the burger. Service was amazing and the guy behind the counter did a great job. I paid £16 which is pretty expensive but I guess that's to do with the location. It's worth it for good quality halal food.

This place does not exist anymore?

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!

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.

Lovely local boozer with a good selection of beers and lagers

We come here several times a week. Maisey makes amazing coffee. She is always welcoming and when she sees us she has our order ready. Our grandchildren love the baby chinos too ❤️ x

Tried this place for the first time today, we went in and it was very busy so we weren’t sure if we’d get a table. They said they had a table in the garden so we said ok let’s try, it was beautiful, they led us through flowers and plants into a marquee out the back which was all enclosed with heaters. Really nice vibe, although it would have been even nicer with a little bit of soft, quiet music playing. The food was so good. We had the squid to share which was delicious, little bit rubbery but the batter was so light and crispy. I then had the Duck Curry with coconut rice which was so good. The duck was crispy but still tender and juicy, the sauce was lovely and creamy but not too heavy. And the perfect amount of spice. My partner had a Duck stir fry dish with cashews, pineapple and peppers with plain rice and really enjoyed it as well. It was bring your own drinks so lots of people were doing that but we just had water. The staff were really friendly and super attentive. We will definitely be going back :)

Lovely pub in the heart of Portsmouth serving good quality beers

Lovely food with plenty of tables . Friendly Staff

Late review. I went there for breakfast. Quality food, friendly staff and brilliant location. Free car parking for customers.

We order all the time from here. This was one of the best curry’s we have ever had 10/10 the best curry house

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
