The best restaurants serving British food in Portsmouth South East

what a delight for my sweet tooth, great cakes great coffee, grea, we certainly enjoyed ourselves... will be back

The food was ok, but the service was embarrassingly slow. When we arrived there were 3 other tables with guests. We waited over 40 minutes for 12 pieces of sushi. Tasted fine but having waited that long, most food would! We then needed to wait another 20mins after that for fish and chips. Staff apologised for the delay and gave us copious tap water. Once food was served no one checked to see if we were ok or needed anything more. There are better places to go for a dinner of that standard.

Incredible service wonderful staff and really nice drinks 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area. Are also dog friendly and serve dog ice cream for our four legged friends

Today I visited the southsea positive eats on Palmerston Road. From first entering to leaving the whole experience was brilliant. So fresh & clean in there and the girls working were so friendly and gave me advice in what to order etc. I had a boost juice & a build your own bowl which was so worth the price. All fresh ingredients and so much flavour. Will definitely be visiting again!

Had breakfast baguettes with coffee. Tasty and freshly prepared by a friendly member of staff. A welcome result having been let down by the premier inn breakfast!

Best breakfast and coffees in this place cant fault anything

Incredible Ramen! Blown away to find this here. So fresh and authentic. The dining room is also amazing and Georgian. Will be back to try the rest of the menu

Amazing owners and delicious food.. I have tried almost everything at this place. The amazing almond croissants and coffee is worth travelling to Southsea from London. The host was so amazing that they agreed to make a sugar free cake for us which turned out great :) Usually busy so would recommend booking in advance I recently visited Southsea Café and had a fantastic experience. this café offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing. The décor is modern yet cosy, with plenty of seating, making it a great spot for any weather. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in. They greeted me with a smile and were happy to offer recommendations from the menu. The service was prompt, even though the café was quite busy at the time. The menu itself is impressive, offering a great variety of options, from hearty breakfasts to light lunches and delicious homemade cakes.. The coffee was rich and smooth, clearly made with high-quality beans. One of the standout features of Southsea Café is its focus on fresh, their in house items, which really elevates the quality of the food. The portion sizes were generous, offering great value for money. The café’s relaxed vibe, combined with its delicious food and friendly staff, makes it an ideal spot for breakfast, brunch, or a casual coffee break. Whether you're a local or just visiting Southsea, I highly recommend stopping by Southsea Café for a memorable and satisfying dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Good food. Reasonably pruced. Very friendly.

Delicious food and friendly staff made this quick meal stop a very positive experience. I plumped for the medium breakfast (available until 2pm) and a flat-white coffee (I was offered a choice of cup sizes and plumped for the smaller). I chose to sit outside as I’m still very much Covid-aware. The coffee was hot and just the right strength. The breakfast (2 x bacon, 1 x sausage, fried egg, hash brown, mushrooms, tomato and toast) was £6.50 and there was a smaller or larger option. I shall definitely return as it’s just a stone’s throw from my house.

Came for Sunday lunch. The food looked excellent, large portions, fluffy yorkshires, good selection of veg. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. Yorkshires and roast potatoes were both tasteless. Left most of it. The service was good and decor attractive but won’t be returning. The place was extremely busy though so maybe just wasn’t to our taste only.

Good selection of ciders and beers available at reasonable prices. We didn't eat but the bbq food looked good.

My daughter and I visited today for lunch and had the loveliest time… it’s a very cool record shop/cafe/restaurant that does the most amazing pie and mash! There’s loads of choice; meat, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free pies! For me being gluten free isn’t always easy but they were brilliant and spent extra time preparing the kitchen, we were really impressed and our pies and sides were beautifully presented and delicious! Really friendly, professional people running it, we will definitely be back, thank you! 😀

Great night out was served by Lewis throughout the night and he was absolutely quality. Everyone drink he made was amazing, Great drinks and great prices

Very friendly staff took our booking on the Sunday morning and we were treated to a multi meat roast meal in the bar area that lunchtime. Lovely quality food and nice cosy pub. Would recommend
