特尼森小屋

This elegant restaurant is superbly set amongst colourful beach huts and looks out over the sea to Hurst Castle. Sit on one of the terraces or under retractable roofs and enjoy anything from fish tacos to a fruits de mer platter. Most diners arrive by boat (they’ll even collect you from your mooring).

Head to the Wightlink ticket office, go up the external staircase and you will find yourself at this lovely harbourside restaurant. It's a large space with, as the name suggests, a wonderful terrace that's perfect for alfresco dining in the summer. Fish is to the fore on the classically based menu that makes the most of the island's ingredients and incorporates some dashes of creativity – such as the tongue-in-cheek 'crab and chips' consisting of crispy polenta fingers topped with fresh picked crab meat.

Down a cobbled street in a beautiful Georgian town, you'll find a Grade II listed building housing this amiably run restaurant. The chef's experience shines through in the attractively presented dishes on the multi-course tasting menu, which shine thanks to the sourcing of excellent ingredients. As it's by the quayside, you can expect the catch of the day to be among the highlights. As an alternative to the tasting option, a 'sharing menu' offers dishes for two such as beef Chateaubriand and trout en croûte.
