Abarbistro

$$

A relaxed, modern bistro midway between Old Portsmouth and Gunwharf Quays, this place is ideal for a snack, meal, or glass of wine from the thoughtfully chosen wine list. The refreshed menu highlights locally sourced ingredients, like the catch of the day or ale-battered haddock-and-chips mostly sourced from Portsmouth's fish market directly opposite the restaurant. Alternatively, opt for pan-roasted pigeon breast with a bitter leaf salad. An all-day pizza menu is served Monday through Saturday too, and the selection of Sunday roasts ranges from traditional roast beef with Yorkshire pudding to a vegetarian sweet potato, spinach, and cauliflower Wellington. You can sit indoors, in a garden at the back, or at Continental-style tables on the pavement.
