Barbosa — Restaurant in England

We decided to try Barbosa for our anniversary dinner and have to say this was the best anniversary dinner ever!

My other half booked a table for us via the website and called in to reserve a table. The website is easy to navigate and it’s easy to get in contact to reserve a table. Since Barbosa is a small but very popular place, I highly recommend you to book a table to avoid disappointment.

It’s a very cosy and relaxing restaurant. Compared to most restaurants you don’t get this feeling of people constantly rushing back and forth which was very nice. The booths make it very comfortable and private. I love the floral decor there and the unique lighting.

The food there looks amazing and is so delicious too! Everything on the menu looks good. We really enjoyed the food and were so stuffed !

Connor the waiter / barman was very friendly and very attentive. When we walked in he created us straight away and made sure the table was clean and presented us the menu. The restaurant was full when we arrived. When one of the tables in a booth finished we asked whether we could move from the table we were at to the booth as it’s more comfy there. Connor then gave the booth a quick clean and moved us. He tend told us that we could win a lemon 🍋 cello if we can tell him what movies all the cars 🚗 in the picture frames are from. I loved how the owner made this restaurant relaxing but yet interactive too. My partner and I had fun figuring out what movies 🎥 these cars were from and managed to get them all right. Since I already had a lychee martini 🍸 I didn’t want the lemon cello so I asked whether I could have a coke instead as I’m quiet a lightweight. I was so thankful that I could have a soft drink instead the shot. We just had a wonderful experience at Barbosa!

Whether you are visiting the Isle of Wight or live here, you have to try this place! We live here on the Isle of Wight and have restaurants ourselves. This is definitely my new favourite restaurant and there is something also we have learned that we could change at our restaurants.

Thank you so much everyone...

"The service and food at this restaurant were outstanding. While the wait times were a bit longer than expected, it’s completely understandable as everything is made fresh to order. The quirky décor, especially the car and movie photo frames, added to the atmosphere and kept me entertained while waiting. This is definitely a place worth visiting – you won't be disappointed!

I ordered the combo platter, and it did not disappoint. The king rib was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth, and the burger was one of the tastiest I've ever had – truly top-notch. The presentation was equally impressive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly...

Had dinner at Barbosa for the first time since it opened this evening. We actually did some work on the place during lockdown to get it ready. Mark the owner/Chef was talking about his menu ideas back then and I wanted to come and try it out. Well, it didn’t disappoint. Really unique menu on offer and loads of great drinks too. Myself and my partner had Prawn & Avocado soft taco’s which were delicious. Very nice atmosphere and general vibe, with Ben the bar manager a very friendly face behind the bar. Outside seating was available but we booked an inside table. Will definitely be going again and recommend anyone looking for great food in a cool setting should...
