Sisters — Restaurant in Portsmouth

At first I thought it's a cafe (didn't note the name) and went for a coffee. But they indeed offer light meals and drinks (tea, wine, beer, not sure about cocktails?). I wonder if it should be a bistol.

The first thing I am happy about is that it there is staff to take your order! It may be my bias, i think a restaurant or bistol should at least provides this service instead of buying food over the counter and paid. If it's a bar (freehouse or tavern) then buying the drink over the counter then it is normal and should be in that way.

They don't offer too many choices in their menu, those are very common foods such as sandwich/ wrapper, salads, breakfast etc. I have tried the first two and the quality are good. Again their wrapper is not cold and i believe it is made until receiving the order. It's not that microwaved hot.

The staff is nice and friendly. If you like to walk the dogs then you may find many new friends there.

The interior design is simple but stylish (modern, not overwhelmed with details). It's a very old building so there are two large windows, and there are two large mirrors mounted on the wall thus this makes the cafe very spacious and vival; it is very comfortable to enjoy your meal alone or with your friends there; not too crowded or too quiet.

One thing that i hope they would 'improve' is that they only serve one draft beer. And I would prefer older background music or songs.

I think they deserve five stars not because they are perfect; but considering the price and the quality. After visiting the nearby supermarket Waitrose and if you want to take a break then you may try this cafe.

Their price is higher than other highstreet food chain, but i think i will cook the food for myself if i want to save money. If I want to enjoy a meal then i would suggest to support this kind of SMEs.

Excellent service if you’re a regular but if like me it’s your first visit the service was awful. Waited ages for our order to be taken yet diners that came in after us had very attentive service and orders taken. After our meal, plates were taken and we were left! No dessert menus, no offer of extra drinks, basically no contact at all! Lots of chat going on between staff and regular diners. Asked for the bill, bill brought to the table and yet again left!! I had no choice but to pay the bill at the bar, when asked if everything was ok I said “no it isn’t, we have been left in the corner, we wanted to order desserts but no one came over to us therefore we are now all going to get dessert elsewhere. Received a rather poor apology. Needless to say, we went to another establishment for dessert where the service was excellent,...

Reuniting with friends after a long time calls for good food, great coffee, and a cozy spot—and Sisters delivered on all fronts! The prices were as amazing as the food, making it the perfect place to sit, chat, and indulge without breaking the bank.

We fueled our catch-up session with iced mochas (because caffeine and chocolate are the dream team), a chicken, bacon & avocado sandwich (a trio of flavors that never fails), and the potato & chorizo hash, which was hearty, flavorful, and oh-so-satisfying. But the real showstopper? The hot chocolate fudge cake—pure, fudgy perfection that made every bite feel like a hug in dessert form.

Great company, delicious food, and a café that felt like a hidden gem—definitely a spot...
