The Alchemist Portsmouth - (Near Hampshire, South East)

Josie Quirk We came here for our anniversary meal. Food and atmosphere was amazing - nothing was too much trouble for the serving staff! Food was so delicious, we would 100% recommend the duck pancakes for starters! Staff were super friendly and attentive - we will definitely be coming back! Thank you

sampath m Amazing experience at Salt and Pepper in Portsmouth! The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. Most importantly, the flavors are truly authentic—it’s the real Hyderabadi taste I’ve been looking for. Highly recommend!

Yee Gan Ong Dim sum is probably best explained as Chinese tapas - an assortment of dumplings, croquettes etc. Traditionally only served at breakfast and lunchtime I live in the wilds of Hampshire. Dim sum hut is the closest restaurant to me serving freshly made dim sum. Luckily for me, they serve good quality dim sum with a good variety of dishes They also do a traditional menu but I’m usually here for dim sum lunch. The staff do a good job, especially when it gets really busy

Shuet Han Tsui We needed somewhere to nearby to eat after visiting the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. At 4.00PM on a Sunday, choices can be limited. We picked Lush Bites because it was a short walk away, near the car park, and well rated. And I can see why it was well rated. The service was excellent. The person serving us was super polite and friendly. The burgers were excellent. We went for the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger and Devils Bite. Both delicious. It was still very hot when it arrived, super tasty, and well put together. Love a burger that does not fall apart as you eat it. We were not that hungry, so didnt go for any sides. The chicken wings and loaded fries looked tempting.

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!

Scott Reviews Things Simply put. These are the best Jacket Potato’s in Portsmouth. Generous servings. Great range of fillings at a very reasonable price. Whenever we are in town we pick one up. Vicky is an absolute pleasure. Always greeted with a smile and a chat. Don’t waste your time with any other Potato in the town centre.
