The best restaurants in St Jude Portsmouth South East

Fruit flies all over their pastries.

Southsea Local really is the quintessential "local". Lovely owners and team, brilliant coffee and an expertly curated selection of fresh, local and interesting foodie products. And the salad boxes make a tasty healthy and convenient lunch. A great addition to a unique, vibrant precinct in Southsea.

The decoration and the way the restaurant is organised works wonderfully. We were put in a two person booth-ish area, but it was very cute and nice. We had a range of nigiri and maki, and the “spider maki” (soft shell crab maki) was my favourite. We also got the tempura prawns, chilli and chicken stir fry udon and the tempura ice cream. Also, the waiters were very kind and helpful. My partner wanted to try some sake, and the one the waitress recommended was beautiful. So so good, will come again!

Really good food and atmosphere. We enjoyed a lovely meal and amazing service. You should definitley try it!!

Delicious food and relaxing atmosphere. One of the best restaurants in Portsmouth.

Accidentally dropped my food when leaving, without question they done my whole order again! Very Quickly, and was very apologetic even tho it was my fault. And the Food was top notch!!

A bit noisy on the Sunday lunch time. But good value for money and great service.

First class place with relaxed atmosphere and great food. Loved the freshly prepared thin crust pizza and topped off with delicious tiramisu. Highly recommended.

Just had the lunch offer at Sopranos and it was absolutely delicious . I had crostini with houmous ,salad and tomatoes followed by blue cheese risotto with courgette and pine nuts £13.95 I loved every single mouthful . Finished off with gorgeous tiramisu. Went with friends and shared a cold bottle of blush Pinot Grigio . Outstanding

Great food. Very tasty. Will defo be ordering again from here

Ella was amazing behind the bar. Very friendly and provided great service. Brunch was fun, great entertainment and lovely staff

I had the pleasure of dining at this lovely Greek restaurant last night, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely delicious—I was so hungry and blown away by the taste that I forgot to take a photo, which is very unlike me. The service was impeccable; the waitresses greeted us with warm smiles and were incredibly hospitable throughout the evening. They truly made us feel welcome. As for the food, it was divine! All the mezes were delightful, but the grilled sea bream stole the show. It was perfectly cooked and they were so kind to carve . The aubergine meze and dolmadakia were also exceptional—full of rich, authentic flavors that reminded me of home (I’m Turkish, so I know great Mediterranean food when I taste it!). It’s rare to find a restaurant in Southsea with such vibrant and authentic flavors. This place is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!
