There is certainly no shortage of places to eat and drink in Portsmouth. Whether it's fine dining, pub grub or something a little more exotic that takes your fancy, the sheer number of restaurants in Portsmouth means you're sure to be well catered for.
There are many restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs across the city, all with their own take on modern and classic cuisines. Furthermore, with the likes of TripAdvisor just a click away, you can always be sure of what to expect at any one of the places to eat in Portsmouth, before you take the plunge.
If you want to take in some fine dining, Restaurant 27 and Montparnasse should be vying for your attention. These Portsmouth restaurants - both located just a few minutes' walk from the seafront - come highly recommended, with a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence and a Michelin recommendation between them.
For a decidedly more informal affair, many of the pubs in Portsmouth serve food - and do so for much of the time they're open, meaning you can eat whenever suits you. Albert Road has the likes of Porters, the Wine Vaults and the Fat Fox to quell rumbling tummies, whilst in the city centre there's the Brewhouse and Kitchen alongside your more typical Wetherspoon's. Albert Road is also home to a great many Chinese and Indian restaurants, serving authentic cuisine from the East.
Gunwharf Quays has plenty to offer when it comes to recognisable names. Here you can enjoy your meal with sea views and sun traps at Café Rouge, Carluccios, Zizzi, Brasserie Blanc, Cozy Club and Wagamama - among others. Then, if you want to dance off your meal, the clubs and bars are open until the small hours. For all the details, see our Restaurants in Gunwharf Quays page.
If you're in the mood for something a little smaller or more sedate, the city has great cafes to stop off for a morning coffee and light lunch. Visit Pie and Vinyl and browse the records while waiting for your food, relax with friends at the Garage Lounge or try the great brews and raw vegan treats available at Southsea Coffee Company. Alternately, you can visit Southsea Beach Cafe, which offers seasonal and locally sourced food, with a view that's hard to beat.
Alternatively, just north Portsea Island is Port Solent - with a number of shops, bars and restaurants on offer, as well was lovely walks around the harbourside and even an Odeon cinema. For all the details on places to eat, check out our Restaurants in Port Solent page.
