The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Best tearoom/food in Buttermere, fantastic food, lovely ambiance and the friendliest of staff. Just wish I lived nearer.

My first time trying this place. Just like Chinese and Indian food it’s westernised to cater for the western tastebuds, but I do love their fish cakes and coconut rice.

We visited twice. Once to have a drink and the other for food. It was busy both times. Staff were great. The pub had a nice feel to it with what seemed like a good mix of locals. Our pizzas were a little over cooked (burned in places making them hard crusts) for my taste but they were acceptable and good flavour.

Lovely cafe, hosts warm, friendly and welcoming. Food fabulous, very tasty bacon and sausages. Coffee spot on. Recommended

Delicious food, average surroundings but great location with friendly staff

Amazing food. Fish with sag rice was delicious and biriyani lovely. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. We will be visiting again.

Absolutely loved our visit, we had the lunch specials, soup and sandwich & soup and a toastie. The homemade soup was delicious and the sandwich and toastie were also great. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Came to the The Old Corner Bank twice while in The IoW for a few days. 100% positive comments from the 4 of us. Nothing was too much trouble, staff all polite, friendly and so helpful. Food was excellent, a good range of dishes, with some varied and tasty specials. The Cod and Chips is a must have - huge Cod, lightly battered, no skin or bones. All meals were served hot and nicely presented Thank you to all the team for 2 excellent and fun evenings We will be back

We had a wonderful seafood feast delivered by Emma last Saturday evening Potted prawns to start ( super yummy) Bouillabaisse to die for next ( we ordered for five but was very generous portion) Chocolate pots and strawberry pavlova for dessert! All completely delicious, we had a wonderful effortless dinner party thanks to you! Will be back to order again without a doubt! Thanks so much Emma x

Went here for lunch with our two sons 8&11) and my husband after they had played football golf at Tapnell farm and I walked the Tapnell walking loop with our dog. Shakshuka with feta was delicious; my husband and I both had it. Burgers on the kids menu and main menu were tasty and homemade. Our youngest wasn’t keen on the tortilla chips with his kids burger so only had the burger and two halves of cucumber. Oat latte was really good. Parking is available on the street but might be trickier in busy times. Would definitely recommend for lunch.

My family and I stayed for 3 nights over Christmas 2024, The hotel is like Downton Abbey .Stylish yet from another era .Loved the heavy brass bedroom keys .The staff and food Could not have been better . Loved the whole experience .Living on the Island I have only heard great reviews . Can highly recommend this hotel and staff .

Came in for a coffee after catching the service bus over from Shanklin and enjoyed the coffee the chocolates looked very tempting indeed

What a fantastic little tea shop and very interesting to find out about their charity work. They catered extremely well for allergies and there was even a choice of deserts. This staff were friendly and kind and helpful with making choices.

The food was certainly delicious in this cosy, very busy restaurant. Staff are friendly and attentive. The restaurant is small and tables close together which gives a shared experience and intimate atmosphere. Definitely a dining must, with sming faces everywhere.

We were looking for a nice restaurant in Cowes for lunch on Saturday and found this one through TA. We had the most delicious meal served by the two sons (owners). They told us the restaurant has been in the family for over 30 years and you can tell this is an owner-run restaurant. They put such care into everything. Will definitely visit again.
