Hillside Bistro - Isle of Wight

Wow, the food at this restaurant is fantastic and the couple who runs it is lovely. They have a wide selection of drinks and food on the menu, and their pairing suggestions are spot on. I usually don't have trouble deciding what to order, but there were so many options I wanted to try that it was tough to choose just one. The same goes for the dessert menu - so many tempting options!

Oh my goodness, this was the best meal I've ever had! It was absolutely amazing. My husband and I discovered this place and decided to dine here for our wedding anniversary. We were so glad we did. The food was beautiful and the staff were so lovely and friendly. It will definitely be a must-visit every time I come to the island.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful meal at this restaurant. The flavors were exceptional and I highly recommend dining here. I am looking forward to returning to try their Sunday roasts in the future.

What a lovely little restaurant this is. The food is exceptional I had a pork dish from the specials board which was full of flavour and just lovely. My husband had a mackerel starter followed by a sea bass risotto he thoroughly enjoyed both dishes. The staff were friendly and efficient they were very quick to assist without fuss when my husband managed to knock the table and tip a glass of wine all over me!! I'd recommend The Bistro to anyone who enjoys good food.

We are so glad we booked this place for our final meal in Ventnor as we saved the best for last. After a warm welcome we were offered a choice of table and delivered water for the table. This is a family business and it really shows with much love invested in the business. The food was amazing, full on flavours and offering some different options. We only eat dessert if the other courses are good and were so glad we did as they were amazing. The addition of selling local art on the walls was a lovely touch, adding the icing on the cake. If you stay in Ventnor or nearby this is somewhere you should visit.
