What User likes about The Kitchen:
The Garden at Florence Road is a delightful restaurant that is open from May to September every year. I highly recommend diving in at least once during this time. They offer a separate vegan menu and even have a vegan burger with chips available for children, if you prefer not to order from the regular menu for them. This year, their menu includes options such as pizzas, light bites, and the return of the grilled cor... View all feedback. What MattB doesn't like about The Kitchen:
The appetizers were outstanding. The main courses were decent, except for the salty cod. The desserts were unique, but unfortunately they didn't meet expectations in terms of taste. Additionally, the petit fours were brought with the bill instead of with the coffee. The service was adequate, but not great. View all feedback.

Excellent food but the service was initially very slow and the amuse bouche was overlooked.

Excellent service and incredible food. Who would think parsnip sorbet would work but it so does!! Cannot recommend The Kitchen highly enough.

The vegan menu is creative and exciting. It was almost impossible to choose. The wine menu is also clearly labelled with vegan wines.

Shortly after the start of 2022, I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a restaurant tucked away in a Portsmouth side street. The outdoor garden, despite its locati...
