The best restaurants in St Jude Portsmouth South East

Maybe it was a poor choice of food, but as the saying goes “you are as good as your worst item on the menu”. Everything was nice but it was missing the wow factor, I don’t think it is a bad place but certainly not outstanding, it might not be the first place to recommend. I will go again and give it another try in the future, but on first try it didn’t win me, which is a shame cos for cooking on charcoal it should not take much. 4 stars from me, it is good but nothing to call home for

Had an excellent meal here. The food is very good with an extensive menu too. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the decor is very fitting. A little gem of a place - it’s small, so probably best to book in advance.

It was all average for what was a huge price tag. I enjoyed it but won’t be returning in a rush.

Lovely food,nice and calm place to enjoy a dinner/lunch with family Lovely people serving

Lovely meal at Sopranos on our recent visit to Portsmouth. Highly recommend.

Ordered a spaghetti bolognaise for collection, picked up right on cue, amazing service and when I got back to the air bnb I was blown away by the quality of the food. Probably the most gorgeous Italian food I’ve ever eaten. Must check this place if you are in the old town / southsea common area. Bienissimo 👍

Fabulous food, friendly waiter and the owner really invested in serving top quality food also made us feel very welcome .

Sons wedding reception was here ...the whole restaurant for his 48 guests .... absolutely stunning food and service..... they couldn't do enough for us .

we haven't really tried Thai food before. Was really tasty and felt like food was fresher and healthier than our usual choices. A little pricey but worth it.

We visited Shenanigans on 10th May as a little Guinness stop off with our wedding guests in between our venues. It added so so much fun to the day, with the staff preparing nearly 50 drinks for us for our arrival. As a couple that love a Guinness, this was such a fun moment of our day which our guests loved and the team at Shenanigans were brilliant! Thank you for accomodating us, the whole team were fantastic with a special thank you to Amy - it was one of our favourite moments. Lots of love, Kat & Aaron x

Best LGBTQ pub in Southsea, staff are very friendly, customers also very friendly, made quite a few friends in there, can get packed out after a night at the local Kings Theatre oron a Friday or weekend.

As simple as that...WELL DONE EXCELLENT VENUE

Great Crevettes and Beer battered Samphire to start, my wife also enjoyed the fabulous mussels. I unfortunately chose the fish and chips. For the second time the fish was drenched in oil and over cooked on the side. I guess it was cooked earlier and had been sitting in a fryer, half the chips were in the same state. I find it hard to justify the cost with this level of quality.

We love this pub, it's our local, but it's got even better. The food has been lifted onto a different level. Cannot fault the quality of food was superb, the service was attentive and the atmosphere is always great. It's a great pub, you must visit.

Excellent pizza. Just the right size and the right number of toppings. Then the special of asparagus and peas in a cream sauce over pasta was outstanding. I accidentally spilled a glass of wine and the manager was extremely helpful and cleaned it up. I felt like an idiot, but she made me feel much better about it Excellent place, highly recommended.
