The best restaurants Portsmouth

A mecca for student life, we love spending time in this relaxed pub. It's spacious and there's plenty of room for everyone. The 6 draught beers change regularly, and the menu, typical of a modern pub (brunch, English breakfast, pizzas, burgers, sandwiches...), is affordable. On weekends and when matches are on, the atmosphere is often over-the-top! It's a great opportunity to meet and socialize with the locals.

If you're wandering around old Portsmouth and looking for a good place for lunch or dinner, this friendly bistro is well worth a visit. Decorated like a cruise ship, it offers a view of the harbor and the sea (from the window tables). Prices are reasonable and the choice of home-cooked dishes is extensive: wood-fired pizza, fish and chips, bistro-style burgers, baked camembert, salads, steaks, Indian-spiced dal, fish from the catch of the day... We particularly appreciate the very welcoming and attentive staff. A sure bet.

It doesn't get much closer to the water than The Beach Club! From the terrace of this contemporary restaurant-bar, locals and visitors alike come to admire the sunset over the sea, cocktail or beer in hand. The atmosphere is friendly, and even becomes festive on summer evenings with DJs. You can nibble on everything all day long: tapas, pizza, sandwiches, fish and chips, salads, pastries... and even breakfast on weekends. A beachside eatery just the way we like it!

Here's a delightful gastro-pub worth the detour, tucked away in the narrow streets of the town center. Housed in a historic building with character, the decor of this establishment mixes modern and vintage for a chic yet warm atmosphere. The cuisine is refined and of good quality, with a special mention for their meats. The setting is pleasant, the service attentive and the restaurant has a very good reputation for its cocktails. A good and successful restaurant in Southsea, we advise you to book by phone or online.
