Restaurants

Restaurants in Portsmouth are certainly not short on variety! Here you’ll find cuisines from all corners of the world, everything from British to French, Indian, Chinese, Lebanese, American, Japanese, Turkish, Italian, Belgian… The list goes on.

There’s plenty of choice in where you eat, too. For many, the beautiful surrounds of Gunwharf Quays and its big-name brands prove a popular draw – where you can be sure of a good feed at your favourite establishments, all washed down with a drink overlooking the harbour.

Others want to head out and explore something more independent, to experience something different to what you’d usually have at home. Albert Road, Osborne Road and Castle Road are popular spots – buzzing with a host of truly unique restaurants. Whether you want authentic curries, ribs to make your mouth water or hearty pie and mash (or, indeed, pretty much anything else) you’re certain to find what you’re looking for.

The area of Old Portsmouth was once referred to as the Spice Island, going by the ships that would dock there from Asia, to unload their exotic wares. It should be no surprise, then, that Portsmouth has a wealth of restaurants serving cuisine from the east. Albert Road is especially known for being a curry-lover's paradise, with a number of restaurants along the busy street serving award-winning dishes.

It's not all curry or fish and chips, though. Visitors seeking a more refined dining experience will certainly be well catered for in Portsmouth. There are a number of small French bistros where you can while away candlelit hours over good steak and even better wine. Or, failing that, how about the city's numerous fusion restaurants, where you can try some unique amalgamations of world foods that are unlikely to be found anywhere else.

Alternatively, you may wish to splash out on some award-winning fine dining to toast your city break in style. For this, Portsmouth has a number of well-rated restaurants with commendations in all the top critical guides. If a restaurant has picked up some top awards or commendations, they will be included in the listings below.
