The Canteen

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
