We had 2 teas and 2 cheese straws out on the terrace, overlooking crashing waves and lovely view of harbour entrance. Perfection! Lovely teas with made with fresh leaves. Unique location, wonderful decor, dog friendly too. Our dog Ringo loved it and liked the free dog treats. Staff are great. Must be the best cafe in Portsmouth!
We had a great party at The Canteen which was helped by great food and friendly staff. Can not recommend strongly enough
The whole experience was enjoyable. The atmosphere and building is lovely. The coffee was perfect, not at all bitter. When I asked what gluten free food they served I was so delighted to find that the majority of cakes were GF. The first café in 3 weeks that catered for gluten free.
Been waiting a long time to pop in! We had yummy sandwiches and cake with our coffee and hot chocolate and couldn’t fault the historical setting, friendly service or superb quality of the food! Just waiting to find another excuse to be in the area! I’m sure it won’t be too long! Highly recommend �
2 days in old Portsmouth with friends , had breakfast twice in here . Fabulous view of the harbour entrance sitting inside the 500 year old sea wall, beautiful food, artfully presented with excellent service . We were made to feel very special and best of all we were allowed to have our 2 golden retrievers with us. Will definitely return and hopefully in summer spend leisurely time on the terrace . It truly ticked all the boxes :-),
I must admit we only had coffee and cake but the staff are very friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is great. A real asset to the area.
Great place, lovely food and very friendly staff. Will be visiting again!!!
Lovely place to spend time together with friends or alone. Tasty � food and drinks.
And smiley and professional staff �
When there with mum lovely friendly staff and great food loved the surroundings great to go there in the summer xx
We are soooo lucky as this wonderful little place is 2 minutes away. Hard not to go there every day! Very special and individual restaurant with a delightful and helpful team �
Amazing Coffee and food. Would not miss the opportunity to try the The Canteen
We opted for the Eggs Royale paired with a Latte and Breakfast Tea. Let me tell you it didn’t disappoint!! The hollandaise sauce was just perfect *chefs kiss* including the salmon, poached eggs and the muffins were easy to cut through - everything was well done!
I also love the service here, staff are very attentive and friendly. Plus if you’re not already full the cake selection is pretty impressive too!
Lovely cafe restaurant in the old walls of Portsmouth old town seaside.
Beautifully restored building.
Food well presented and gorgeous with generous portions.
We had granola with raspberries, sourdough toast (2 gigantic slices) and poached eggs on sourdough toast with americano coffees.
Staff smiley and friendly. We were offered seats outside in a cute courtyard with estuary views but the waiter said it could be a bit chilly - lovely that they told us that. We sat inside and it was great.
Cakes, pastries, sausage rolls and pasties all looked lovely, as did the breakfasts brought out to other customers.
Great vibe - definitely recommend it. I
This place is superb, what a setting too!
Stumbled across it whilst out with the kids exploring and fancied a coffee.
Well, I can say we left there with more than a coffee and will returning, Food was spot on! The price was very welcoming, and the venue location is awesome.
Really good dog friendly cafe
Great helpful staff, provided a water bowl for the dog. The breakfast was lovely, quality ingredients well cooked.
Superb setting with the old archways intact.
Worth calling in.
Situated within the Hotwalls. Expected a cave/cellar experience. Where the sea can crash against the windows in a storm with high tide. Brilliant service. Food fresh and lush. We enjoyed breakfast. The Veggie Stack, Eggs Royale, Spice Island Scrambled Egg. Good price for quality food.
This a absolutely stunning venue, right on the waterfront. The food and cakes would make any foodie swoon. It's highly recommended and a must visit if you are in Portsmouth! I'm sure there is some interesting history to it as well.. as it is built into the old barracks in the hotwalls.
Really great location, you feel like you are eating in an ancient Castle or fort. Very clean and well maintained. Friendly staff. The food is bit in the expensive side, which is understandable given the location, but everything tasted good. Would recommend trying to grab one of the window seats with views of the Ocean.
Simply the BEST Sausage Sandwich I have ever had, that bread is the thickest ever cut and as soft as marshmallow with a lovely crust.. Staff were friendly, professional and great smile. Highly recommended.
Such a beautiful setting inside and out. Food was delicious and cooked fresh to order. Service was exceptional. We will return... thank you!

We supplied our vintage camera photo booth for a private event at The Canteen last night. The wedding reception was wonderful, the staff were friendly and helpful and the venue is perfect for intimate events. The vintage camera photo booth fitted in perfectly with the surrounds.
