"We visited Bellamy's Bistro 2 weeks ago. If having a meal after 6pm there is parking on the main Street for free. We managed to get an earlier ferry across to the island and after contacting Bellamy's, staff very kindly brought the time of our table forward. Me and one friend had the carbonara and cheesy garlic bread, which was lovely and tasty and my other friend had Bourgenon which she also really enjoyed. The owners were very friendly and were talking to us about how they came to the Isle of Wight. I would definitely recommend."

Lady Scarletts Tea Parlour

"We had been hunting around for a alternative location for a superb cream tea after reading that Chessel Pottery has gone very much downhill and no longer makes the cream teas it was famous for. Lady Scarlett’s has an incredible record of top scores, which we’re now extremely suspicious of. We phoned ahead to check for availability and although the person on the phone wasn’t rude, they made us feel we’d possibly made a bad choice with their attitude on the phone. You can’t judge a book by its cover, but when we arrived at the place, we wondered if it was really the right place. Sadly it was. Not very inviting and seemed a bit too rough around the edges, despite the ‘World War period’ theme. When we entered, a grumpy man (possibly the owner) was there observing people coming in, although very few people were coming in (a big sign of bad things). When we mentioned issues parking, he told us that there’s lots of parking in Newport. This location is nowhere near that, so we assume we were being told to go elsewhere if we didn’t like it! Lovely! The place was empty whilst others were full, so there’s a hint! We left without ordering anything. An unpleasant experience."

Crave Ice Cream

"Crave is fabulous. You can taste any flavours before deciding which ice cream you want. Flavours are ever-changing. They make the ice cream at the back of the shop and you can see them through a large glass window area. They also sell tubs to customers for their home freezers. They make the most amazing flavours, that look so appetising the way they decorate them in the display freezer."

"Absolutely gorgeous food that we're still raving about days later! The Reef is located just over the road from the beach so you get the gorgeous view of the sea. We already can't wait to return. The Kermit cocktail is also delicious and highly recommended! If you are Gluten Free, this place is amazing as most things on the menu can be made gluten free! I had so much choice of things to eat which is a rarity. Thanks so much guys!"

Smoking Lobster

➤ Samphire Esplanade, Ventnor, United Kingdom

"Oh my goodness, the food at this restaurant was exceptional! We started with the prawn noodle dish to share as a starter, followed by half a lobster and chips each for our main course. For dessert, we enjoyed some delicious doughnuts. We also tried a couple of cocktails which were fantastic. The staff were incredibly helpful and even helped us find a taxi when we couldn't get through to any numbers. Despite its unassuming exterior, I would highly recommend booking in advance as the restaurant was quite busy on a Tuesday evening when we arrived at 5pm. The quality of the food and service was on par with Michelin-starred restaurants. I would even travel from London just to have dinner here. I can't praise this place enough - we only have a few more days here, but we will definitely be coming back before we leave. Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5."
