The Eight Bells - (Near , South East)

Anthony Wilkinson Great food & wine - choose the older part of the restaurant for the best atmosphere. Service was attentive and helpful - the menu currently contains a great cheese soufflé which I would highly recommend. A few glasses of wine each, all finished off with a great Armagnac and the bill was quite reasonable.

Mark Sonnex A great venue run by the Students. Delicious top class food

Imogen Bramhill Had a sausage, bean and cheese melt from here twice now, both times quick, friendly service and food was tasty, hot and satisfying. It’s good to have some nice hot food options that far up the platforms. More recently bought chicken wings and mac & cheese here just before closing, and both were really tasty - Mac & cheese had crunchy cheesy topping and garlicky-like flavour throughout; the wings have a spicy different flavour, crispy outside, juicy inside, not very big.

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.

May Myanmar Very nice local restaurant in New Cross, went for Thursday evening (only day they are open for dinner) when they have a dinner menu. Shared plates, we had almost all the mains except beef carpaccio as was sold out by then. Would definitely recommend, service was efficient and staff were lovely. Our favourites: the bread and dips, cherry salad (excellent), Moroccan fish and glazed duck breast salad! We wish the fresh bread was slightly bigger though to mop up all the dips! Definitely will be back to try their breakfast/brunch!

Richard Appleton A pretty perfect dining experience, the food is absolutely outstanding and the starters/snacks are wonderfully varied and inventive, and all superb. Particular mention to the tuna starter and the cheese crumpet. The service is slick but not intrusive but the restaurant still retains a relaxed small town feel. The wine list is extensive without being stupidly sized with an excellent variety in both taste and price with plenty of options by the glass if preferred. It wasn’t worth reducing to a 4* review but if one was being extremely picky I would say the main course options were relatively limited outside of pure meat dishes (one fish, no vegetarian) and the portions are not huge, but that’s somewhat to be expected with food of this quality. Will visit again for sure
