England, United Kingdom Food Guide: 8 European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Sandown
Find out what European restaurants to try in Sandown. Sandown is a seaside resort town and civil parish on the southeast coast of the Isle of Wight, England, which neighbours the town of Shanklin to the south, with the village of Lake in between the two settlements. Sandown Bay is the name of the bay off the English Channel which both towns share, and it is notable for its long stretch of easily accessible golden sandy beach. It is the site of the lost Sandown Castle. Whilst undergoing construction, this was attacked by a French force which had fought its way over Culver Down from Whitecliff Bay, resulting in the French being repulsed. It was built too far into the sea and constantly suffered erosion, until now reduced to a pile of rocks. Later forts in the town include the Diamond Fort (named after its plan), built inshore to replace the castle and which fought off a minor attack from privateers (probably French) in 1788, and the present "Granite Fort" at Yaverland, which is now the zoo. Together with Shanklin, Sandown forms a built up area of 21,374 inhabitants.

An absolute delight tonight. Managed to get a last minute reservation and they kindly found space. Their pineapple dessert was out of this world, no idea what the sauce was but excellent.

Slightly bleak, distant lady in charge here. But the breakfast was decent. You can compile your own breakfast from the menu. So I had two fried eggs, black pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms, and brown toast. It was beautifully presented, the highlight being the tasty little red and yellow tomatoes, cooked just right. The fried eggs were a bit hard, though, which is often the way. With a cappuccino and a tea, price was £12.00 odd.The ethos of the small unit was Italian, though without Italian friendliness. The look of the place was good, but the floor wasn't that clean and the table felt a bit sticky. In any case, I left happy with the breakfast and fuelled for my hike.

It is a very elegant restaurant, cute outside and very cosy inside, tables are very posh and accurately dressed with silver cutlery, the atmosphere is enchanting, music volume is soft and tracks are perfect. Food is delicious. Fish was fresh and tasty. Staff is polite and welcoming. Inside the toilet there are proper cloth hand towels, to dispose inside a basket and there is a perfume too! The best restaurant on the Isle of Wight!Wow! That's a fantastic review! Thank you very much!

Was recommended to eat here by our B&B owner who also told us to make sure we booked as it is small and usually very busy. Real old fashioned charming village pub with an italian menu comprising pizza and pasta and much more. Went for the "life changing" lasagne which was very nice and the wife had the sea bass which was served on a bed of tagiatelle also very good. Service is good and friendly staff made it a nice atmosphere for a pleasant evening.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Food is wonderful and reasonably priced. We stayed in Shanklin for a week and were so impressed that we ate at Pavarottiâs 3 times. Youâll need to book, itâs usually busy, but we simply decided on the day and phoned to book during the afternoon. Eat downstairs for the best atmosphere.

First visit since change of owners. Retains its intimate atmosphere and service is perfect and welcoming.The food is well cooked, but somehow lacks the lightness of touch of the previous chef and presentation is only average. A much more rustic style. Feels a little like a talented chef playing it too safe.Only other issue is the placement of the coat hooks directly outside the open kitchen. Having coats dry cleaned to eliminate odours is quite an overhead!Remains a cut above any restaurant in the East Wight and, with some small tweaks, has the potential to rival the best on the island.We will return. Recommended.Many thanks for your review, weâre glad you enjoyed your evening with us and hope to see you again next time. With regards to the coat hooks, it is an issue that we are aware of, and are in the process of remedying.Many thanks,R&J

Small restaurant but very friendly. Booking is probably essential at peak days. Had crab & lobster bisque to start and pan fried sea bass for main. Both absolutely delicious. With five others and they all thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Friendly staff

We had a wonderful evening celebrating my husbandâs birthday thanks to delicious food and great service - exactly the sort of place weâd hoped to find! Great choice of food to suit our various tastes and brilliant wine -plus the service is friendly and unobtrusive. I had been wary of asking whether I could take a Birthday cake in (having read an article by a famous chef complaining that this affected his sales of desserts), but when I phoned to book, I was asked whether Iâd like to take one in - so kind - and we appreciated the singing! We had a great evening and will definitely be back next time weâre on the Island; thank you.
