The Garden Cafe Eastney in Portsmouth

Lovely place for breakfast. A well cooked breakfast with fresh produce, waiting staff are warm and friendly and the ambiance of the garden is quiet and peaceful.

Little gem of a place. Service very friendly and the food was absolutely wonderful Watermelon, mint and feta salad a real winner.

First visit to 'The Garden' which I found online looking for Italian restaurants in Southsea..Might otherwise be easily missed even if driving down Florence Rd itself.But quaint little spot which will gain admirers, some no doubt to return.Decor is sweet and geared - as the name suggests - to outdoor eating.(dogs popular here) with a nice little courtyard feel.Prices are a bit steep but arent they all for something half decent.Menu is small but there is a homemade pizza facility which will always be a draw ( about £15e )My partner felt a little short changed with two prawns perched on her 'surf and turf' steak dish and my Eton Mess could have been better presented, rather than in a 'cereal bowl'Nevertheless, this is being picky.Service was with a smile, interior clean and tidy and we both had a pleasant experienceWorth a visit. XPs Parking in Southsea can be annoying and expensive but managed to find a 3hr slot without too much trouble in Florence rd itself. I believe there is minimal parking before the courtyard itself too. So not just for locals...x

Delicious food and great service. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend x

We came as a group of 8 of us today and had the most amazing time. Food is fantastic, their vegan offering is outstanding and I haven't been to anywhere that offers all vegan desserts in over four years. Our server was amazing and coped with our very particular coffee order at the end of the meal. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Excellent meal. I had surf & turf perfect medium steak, well rested. The salmon my wife had was crispy on the skin and perfectly cooked. Very attentive staff. Thoroughly recommend

Great place, friendly staff. The garden is so beautifully decorated with many plants. The food is a bit more expensive than the online menu- around £3 more probably because it is summer. And the sugar free drinks are proced equally with the sugar added. There arent meal deals neither. Total meal for two with soft drink around £35.The place is dog friendly and the food is delicious. The pizzas are handmade

What a hidden gem! Love this new find, it’s a beautiful little location, spotlessly clean, great friendly service and a great range of vegan food too (their cakes are divine!). It did start to rain a little but that wasn’t a problem as the umbrellas keep you dry. Will definitely be back! :D

Shared a friends birthday here tonight. Beautiful warm, barmy evening. Fabulous food, best pizzas ever, I personally had a couple of small plates, not small at all in fact huge and so tasty. lovely drinks, perfect ambience. The service was awesome. Seriously we had an amazing evening in an oasis of loveliness. It was like a perfect moment. Totally recommend this amazing find

A lovely atmosphere - feels very fancy but also completely relaxed and very cosy. Staff were very friendly, even if they were still working out stuff because the restaurant is new. Prices are not massively cheap, but a meal with starters, mains and drinks came to roughly £14 a head, which is fair for an establishment of such a high standard.We had some delicious big olives for our starter, and then thoroughly enjoyed our meals: a chicken beast burger and a barbecue pulled pork burger, with chips. They have a good selection of dishes on their menu, from breakfast to burgers to grill. There's also a special vegan menu too - great to have it as an option!We sat inside because it was raining, but the outside seating area is very pretty and I can imagine this being a very popular spot in the summer. You can also see directly into the kitchen where the wood-fired pizza oven is, and see the chef working.Definitely recommend visiting such a unique place.
