Portsmouth
🍽 Best Restaurants
Portsmouth punches well above its weight when it comes to eating out. The city's seafaring history and transient population have created an unusually cosmopolitan food scene, with Southsea in particular quietly becoming one of the south coast's most exciting neighbourhoods for independent restaurants. From Spice Island seafood to Sri Lankan street food, there's genuine range here if you know where to look.
