The Basque Kitchen is always awesome! The cooking is authentic and absolutely delicious. The portions are generous. And Chef's meal is the best value for money in town - £30 per person for a mix of tapas that will have you properly full up. I always want to order the Basque cheesecake and I'm pretty much always too full to make it, although Markel has served it to us as take away dessert in the past, and that was the best late night snack ever. The team definitely know what they're doing amd they're doing it very well indeed! If you haven't been yet, you should. Personally love to go on Sunday night ❤️

Really authentic tasty Basque food. So glad we visited this lively restaurant. We shared a few Tapas including a delicious grilled white asparagus which was a daily special and then followed with the 1kg forerib on the bone with chips and peppers to share - it was excellent. We sat inside, but there appears to be outdoor seating at the rear of the restaurant. Parking can be found nearby at Brunswick Road. I would say that booking is essential, particularly if you want to sit inside. Definitely highly recommended.

Our third visit to the island and a return trip to this wonderful Tapas restaurant, the food is fresh and well presented, service was quick and all the plates arrived after only a short wait, they were all so good it's hard to choose a favourite spicy chicken, beef cheek and the toritso was heaven... But biggest shout out was to the islands best Chips... Gold star performa... (its an in joke with the owner) but you must tell him how good they are when you leave... See you again on our next visit...

Great Spanish restaurant in Cowes. We had a tapas meal of calamari, pork belly, sautéed vegetables, rolled lamb and cheesy garlic bread. Was all delicious! Deconstructed cheesecake for dessert. Very fresh food, interesting mix of tastes and friendly service. We were seated outside and there were probably 10-12 tables in total. Only reason not 5 stars is we had to wait quite a while for the order and the bill at the end, but can’t fault the food at all. It’s delicious!!

Beautiful food - very authentic and if honest, it was pretty amazing. Best Spanish I’ve had outside of Spain. Staff attentive and service great. Everyone nit pics but if it was my restaurant I would have lights dimmer - I think it would improve takings by 50% as it really is one of the best restaurants for food in Cowes. The owners clearly like it to be pretty light! It is a great restaurant.
