The Alchemist Portsmouth - (Near Hampshire, london)

Alexander Fergusson-Cooper If I could give this place one star I would... They have ruined pizza for me, it was by far the best Ive had, no other will compare. My partner and I shared the nduja/scotch bonnet and the chicken/paneer. Both were truly superb. The dough had a terrific flavour, but the toppings on each were perfectly balanced and flavoursome. We started with the cauliflower hummus - something we await to recreate! The service was outstanding, knowledgeable and friendly, without being over the top, again, a perfect balance. Wine list fantastic and comprehensive (the reason we came here - (fathers a wine merchant!) maître d was knowledgeable and showed us the bottle of wine we were curious about. Atmosphere was warm, welcoming, relaxed, and the use of acoustic tiles on the ceiling work as both an interesting feature and more importantly to reduce the sound in the bar/restaurant. I am hugely disappointed we are only in Portsmouth for an evening - had we live in the vicinity, we would surely adopt The A Bar as a regular venue. A venue for everyone, we were made to feel like long standing customers - warm and welcoming. If ever in Portsmouth again, we will rush back!

Pui Man Lo Saro’s Thai Cafe is so good! Everything tastes exactly like authentic Thai food in Thailand. The Thai milk tea is super tasty. Pad Thai and pork leg on rice are my absolute favorites. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back. Hope to see more new desserts in the future, like pandan cake and mango sticky rice!

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

Subhasri V I had an excellent experience at Chopstix! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. The team was incredibly friendly and professional. Special thanks to Kowshikah and Baranish, who treated us with such warmth and made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious full of flavor and served fresh. Every dish was prepared perfectly, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the kitchen. Highly recommend Chopstix if youre looking for great food and amazing service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Fatima S. This was a stunning, top experience. Have been to steakhouse places but this really is a place of great food and ambiance, simple yet elegant, so relaxing that we’ve stayed nearly 2hours just chatting and enjoying the food. The reception desk was attentive. We went around half past one, the place was not crowded but later on crowd turned up. Food was served on time, the steak was really good. In addition, before the meal they have given us a beef-dripping popcorn which is really really good - this is a plus! Customer service was excellent, they were busy but very approachable, especially to Charde who has assisted us brilliantly! Also prices are reasonable and they do have a lunch-early-dinner menu available apart from the main menu. Located near the dockyard. A great recommendation! Parking (as in free parking) is quite difficult to find, but carpark is available behind the restaurant.

Joanna Rosinska This was our next visit to Lizz and once again it did not disappoint. The stylish interior and vibrant atmosphere make it a great place for a night out. The food is beautifully presented and full of flavour – especially the mixed grill, creamy mushroom dish, and hummus with seasoned meat. Even the children were absolutely delighted with the food! The cocktails are creative and delicious, adding a special touch to the evening. Highly recommended – we’ll definitely be back again.
