The best restaurants in St Thomas Portsmouth South East

All you can eat buns were fantastic

Fantastic coffee, made with great care & attention! Love the vibe and how food & drinks are served. Truffles scrambled eggs are to die for and NO other coffee shop in Portsmouth gives you your brownie on a plate with added caramel sauce & berries! Top notch! 👌🏻

We booked Scotts Tap and Keller for my partner’s 50th birthday celebrations, and are so glad that we did. We had drinks in Scotts for 20 people, where we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had great hospitality. All the staff were brilliant, and are a credit to Paul and the team. Simon had a fantastic birthday and I can’t thank you all enough for making everything run so smoothly on the day, with brilliant customer service throughout. Highly recommended if you are looking for the perfect place to hold a celebration party in Portsmouth! Sarah xx

Decided to get two afternoon tea boxes in short notice. Great service, well presented boxes and received well. I would definitely recommend and use the service again, thank you.

Knowing how much we enjoy Indian cuisine, my family gifted myself and my partner a takeaway from Breenons Kitchen as a birthday surprise. Wow what a feast!!! Every single dish was absolutely full of flavour and you could tell each one was fresh. I think the dhal was my personal favourite and the tempura vegetable sand array of very fresh, homemade chutneys were my partners. Would recommend to anyone in the area and appreciates good food!

Ordered classic burgers today with buy1 get 1deal on uber eats and they were amazing!!! The sauce was delicious, buns were soft and patty was very well seasoned and juicy! its halal too!! We also tried the loaded beef fries, they were very good! It would taste even better if you added some jalapeños on top! Over all very satisfied with the food! Keep it up guys!

Very spot on restaurant and amazing staff. I came in with my partner on Wednesday night this week, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The Biria tacos and taqitos was so so delicious. What truly stood out was the service. Bhavi was very welcoming and friendly to us to the door even though we didn’t have a booking. She also recommended the Dubai kunfa (and oh my, it was one of the best dessert I’ve ever had), and before we left she gave us a loyalty card which you can get free offfers and that honestly made my day. I highly recommend this place.

Love it. Great selection of rum, especially.

Our favourite local restaurant! The food is always delicious, service is amazing and always busy so the atmosphere is great! Priyanka is lovely. Recommend a visit!

Booked for upstairs but our table was down in the dungeon like basement. They do warn you that they can’t guarantee upstairs but nothing was said when we arrived. However food was excellent and very different from anywhere else in Southsea. Also brilliant Pisco sour. Staff efficient and restaurant busy

Great cappuccino and different but very nice caramel cheesecake donut

After drooling over their food pics for months, my husband and I made a visit to eat. Staff friendly and helpful, portions are large food was delicious. For two starters, two mains a side and four delicious beers we paid about £96. 00. There are cheaper options for fancy sourdough toasties if you're not after a big meal. I had pork belly with suemp, and an apple glaze and cabbage l, devine, husband had meatballs which were a really good size and bold flavours.

I was thinking quite a bit about: should I write this review or not and decided to write it, expecting that the issues I'll point on here, might be solved in future. This restaurant was long time in mine and my wife's list, as we really wanted to try a real Vietnamese Pho soup, being a massive fans of Asian soups overall. Finally yesterday was the day we came there and had our lunch, which leaves us with very controversial feelings (to say the least) about the place. I'll start from the good things, we found in this restaurant. I can honestly say that the service was really good: the stuff was really polite and helpful, which is not the very common thing (unfortunately), you may see in UK's F&B places. The place itself was clean, very good looking and have a paid parking just next to it. The location of the restaurant is also great. The main issue, what we've got there was...the food( We've ordered 4 different dishes and 2 drinks and unfortunately most of them was just a complete waste of money. As I said earlier, the main things we came for, to this restaurant, was Pho soup, so we ordered 2 types of Pho for me and my wife: beef Pho and spicy Pho. The bowl of soup was really massive, which is not really an issue, if it was a delicious, like most of the Asian cousine. Unfortunately both soups were absolutely plain and has no particular taste or blend of spices, what you're expecting from Asian food. I was massive confused, when I had a first spoon of my Spicy Pho, which taste just like boiled water with a tiiiny hint of flavour, what I wasn't able to identify. First I was thinking that probably all the spices were at the bottom and I need to give a soup a good stear, so the flavour of the spices will blend with the bullion. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried to mix the inside of my bowl, the flavor of the soup wasn't changing, staying absolutely plain. Then I noticed complimentary Shriracha sauce, which was brought together with a cutleries by waiter, so I was thinking maybe it supposed to go inside of the soup like a missing ingredient and after the whole bouquet will be completed and the Pho will shine with a delicious flavour. Unfortunately even after 2 rounds of Shriracha the taste of the Pho barely changed, as there was about a littre of water in it, which requires way more sauce/spices - to make some difference. When my wife tried my Spicy Pho (after 2 rounds of Shriracha), she said that my soup is actually better as it has some slight flavour and her's soup is completely plain...At the end each of us left about half of the bowl of Pho, as it was just too much to eat for one person and no point to finish it overall, because of how plain was it. I was even thinking: maybe this is how the real pho supposed to taste? Maybe it's just a super plain soup? But seriously I can't imagine it to be like that, becoming a signature dish of Vietnamese cousine. I've tried a lot of different Asian soups before and I like pretty much all of them, even if it was a relatively simple Tai Chicken noodle soup. This Pho was the worst Asian soup I've ever tried in my life. Not because it was disgusting or something - it was edible, but there was as much to enjoy it, as eating the boiling water with some noodles and meet in it. Also the bowl of Pho cost 16£, which is pretty much a standard price for any main course in the UK and if the amount of water iside of soup was to justify it's price - I personally didn't find it as a great idea. Another things we've tried in this restaurant were honey glazed chicken and rice, mango salad and Vietnamese pancake with beef and prawns. The best thing was definitely a mango salad, which was a great combination of green mango, carrots and nuts. It was really tasty and refreshing. The chicken was just average pan friend chicken with some sweet glazing. The pancake was also quite plain as is and a little better with complementary sweet sauce. Also it was a bit too greasy.
