Park 27 Cafe - (Near Hampshire, South East)

Lizzy Beans Stopped for breakfast. Had the veggie option and asked for brown toast. What we did get was lukewarm at best, white bread/toast (which had barely seen a flame), beans were tepid too. The restaurant was cold too, which probably didnt help. On the plus side the coffee was nice.

Evie Cantwell We had such a lovely evening at Bella Italia! The food was great and the atmosphere was really relaxed, but what genuinely made the visit stand out was the service. Sunikan looked after us and he was fantastic! Really friendly, attentive and still calm while looking after multiple tables at once. He mentioned he’s only been there about 8 months, which honestly surprised us because he handled everything like a seasoned pro. I’d asked if it was possible to move to a quieter table and he sorted it straight away, very discreetly and without any fuss or drawing attention to it, which we really appreciated. He checked in at the right times, made sure everything was sorted quickly and just had a really welcoming manner that made the whole experience better. Also a big thank you to the kitchen as they clearly work just as hard and the food was genuinely 10/10. He’s a credit to the restaurant and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Ilona Thompson We had an excellent meal here which was a lovely surprise as the pub wasn’t our first choice. Everything was good, hot and filling. We were catching the ferry to Bilbao and had picked another restaurant but it was shut and we found the Dolphin instead. I must say I’m glad we did! Dave the manager was very friendly and helpful, telling us about a quicker route to the ferry terminal. Thanks Dave and next time we’re in Portsmouth we’ll be sure to call in.

Simon Fisher An interesting space, brick arches yet cosy. Had the sausage roll and salad (delicious) with coffee. Service was a little unpredictable, the coffee came quite a while after the food (usually comes first)! Friendly staff. Well priced! Worth a visit if you’re in the area

Donna Finch I had a lovely carvery here, Sunday. The food was outstanding. Fresh choice of 4 different meats, outstanding gravy, gorgeous roast potatoes. Yorkshire puddings as big as your head! 5 different veg and amazing cauliflower cheese. The atmosphere was perfect for a Sunday. The ship and castle was totally spotless, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back with my family. Best Sunday lunch in a very long time.

Giuliana Figuccio Lovely spot for breakfast and lunch in central Portsmouth Brunch & Barista, located on Commercial Road in Portsmouth, is a wonderful place for breakfast or lunch, right in a very central and convenient location. The place itself is really lovely, decorated in a cheerful and welcoming style that makes you feel comfortable straight away. Everything is very clean, including the bathrooms, which is always appreciated. The staff are genuinely kind and friendly. A special mention goes to Alper, who served us today, he was polite, warm, and very pleasant, making the experience even better. The food is truly delicious, I had already tried it before, and it confirmed how good it is. Everything was fresh, well prepared, and enjoyable. The Wi-Fi could be an issue, as there is no signal inside, but they do provide their own Wi-Fi network that customers can connect to, so no problem. Overall, a very positive experience. Highly recommended if you’re in Portsmouth and looking for a nice, friendly place to eat.
