Roly's in Portsmouth

We went to Minnies in Southsea last evening, weren't too sure what to expect. To sum it up - during all my years of organising restaurant visits for both business and pleasure, rarely have I experienced a combination of such superb food and amazing hospitality. We were made to feel as though we were the only diners in the restaurant.Now having read other reviews it appears most are of the same opinion. Thank you Yvonne, great atmosphere, food and superb wine at such reasonable prices, can't wait to come back!

We have extremely enjoyed our two visits at Minnie's and about to make it our third! The food is absolutely exceptional and if we could we would come every week! Yvonne and Andrew are both very good hosts with Yvonne always coming to make us chuckle and checking everything is perfect during our visit!

This place is amazing. Went here with friends, and everything you would want for a great evening out,this is it!! The welcome, the food and the service is first class. Will definitely spread the word and can’t wait to return.

Delightful restaurant. First time visit with last minute booking selected for its reputation. Totally exceeded my expectations. Wonderful variety of foods with unusual combinations that blended perfectly. Really top notch and cannot wait to return when back in the area, although I would be tempted to travel a roundtrip of more than 130miles to dine again on a special occasion. Lovely hosts.

My friend and I visited this little gem of a place back in July and were thoroughly impressed with the quality of their food and service. The restaurant was busy with locals and their attentive and friendly service absolutely explains why! We had a three course meal and everything from the cured salmon appetizer to the rum raisin and chocolate desserts was visually beautiful and healthily delicious. When I told them that it was one of the best food I had eaten in the UK (we drove from London) was not an exaggeration!PS. I am sorry for a late review but we are looking forward to eating there again soon xx

Exceptional! There were so many great things about Minnies that went into making the night a very special and memorable one. The surprise phone call to let us know that they had a cancellation. The service that was efficient, attentive and informal without trying to be your best friend. But, at the centre of it all was the food with imaginative dishes that worked incredibly well. The figurative cherry on the cake that was just an accompaniment, but which was the best chocolate ice cream (homemade of course) I have had outside if Italy. All accompanied with an excellent choice of drinks for each course served in a cosy atmosphere. We can't wait to go back.

Minnie's has become one of our favourite restaurants for delicious food and friendly service. Yvonne, Andrew and their team always seem passionate about making sure you have the best food and drink every visit. Thank you 🤩 until our next visit 😃

Delicious high quality food cooked to perfection. Very nice atmosphere, quick service and lovely staff. We'll definitely be coming back!

Everything about this restaurant is spot on. The food is unpretentious but beautifully presented, well sourced and beyond tasty. Particularly loved the duck starter and that lamb! ( and onglet! and pork!) The menu whilst not extensive is varied and offers equally scrummy meat, fish and vegetarian options. Service is attentive but not intrusive and the restaurant itself is relaxed and comfortable. Cant wait to try the chefs special steak pie!

Delightful experience! The menu is thoughtful and caters for a variety of dietary preferences. We have not tried their wines this time, but their homemade lemonade was just perfect for the summer evening. I had the rösti - crunchy, soft on the inside, and beautifully paired with spinach, asparagus and a poached egg; my partner, who is a lamb aficionado, enjoyed every bit of his roast of lamb. But what really surprised our senses were the desserts: strawberries extravaganza and rhubarb cheesecake... both masterfully pairing sweet and sour flavours everywhere. Reasonably priced fine dining and a superb friendly service. Well done team at Minnies!
