Harden's survey result
Summary
Chef-patron Kevin Bingham has presented his “excellent” ‘global French’ cuisine at this consistent performer near the Southsea seafront for more than a decade – and at restaurant Montparnasse (RIP) before that. The tasting menu goes down well, “with a well-chosen wine flight to complement it”.
Summary
This pleasing venue a few minutes’ walk from the seafront is “very much a local restaurant which punches above its weight”, thanks to chef-patron Kevin Bingham’s “really classy cooking” – he takes “simple ingredients, but of superior quality, and presents them in really interesting combinations”.
Summary
“The best restaurant on Portsea Island – by far!” is probably a fair verdict on this “professional” and ambitious ‘global French’ establishment, just off the seafront, praised for its “delicious” cuisine allied with “knowledgeable, yet also friendly” staff.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
