Truffles Restaurant

My wife and I went to Truffles for a pre-concert dinner. As time was tight Truffles allowed us to place our food order in advance. Service was very friendly and efficient, the food was delicious, although we only had an hour in the restaurant we had wine finished the Main and Desert and managed to fit a wobbly coffee in too. Altogether an excellent experience which ticks all of the boxes.

Wonderful food. Wonderful staff. The new winter menu is yummy. Although we went on steak night, so I’ve got a lot to try on the new menu

Delicious food, well thought out menu with a good selection. Will be recommending to friends who live in the area and will be back when next in Portsmouth. The lady serving was friendly and attentive. This is a quality establishment for people who enjoy quality food, a small business taking care with their quality & delivery

A lovely restaurant. Great food and great service. The set menu is fantastic value too. Ideal for a relaxed evening out with friends or a special occasion.

The set lunch menu is limited to four items but caters for most tastes. The food is imaginative and well cooked with pleasant service at a reasonable price.

Autumn means Game, and the special Game menu at Truffles provided a tasty and well-executed showcase for this wonderful produce. A perfectly seasoned and balanced pheasant and tarragon sausage roll with pear chutney was followed by a deliciously unexpected curried hare and lentil dahl. Roast pigeon breast was classically-matched with both roasted and pureed celeriac, and blackberries. The main event was roast venison haunch (perfectly pink) with an autumnal mix of bubble and squeak, braised red cabbage, cavolo nero, and a red wine and juniper jus. Finally, a palate-cleansing lemon sorbet led to an Autumn fruit jelly with vanilla ice cream and bramble coulis. A delicious Cote de Beaune offered a versatile match across the dishes. All this with excellent service made for another memorable evening.

Fantastic food. Excellent service with a personal touch. I would recommend if you want to go somewhere special that will want to make you return.

A marvellous autumnal treat - sautéed wild mushrooms & salsify to start, followed by roast venison haunch with Jerusalem artichoke, red cabbage, and roasted salsify, capped off by rice pudding, with a honey & almond granola and roasted pear & grape jam. Quality cooking, excellent service, and often-overlooked seasonal favourites - fab!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Truffles and thoroughly enjoyed the superb food and excellent service. Highly recommend and we will definitely go there again.

I had the fish main and it was good but a bit too salty for me and not enough side with it. The coffee and walnut cake was deliciuos.

It was the second time I visited this restaurant and is always a treat. The service is very good and always very nice. The food is just amazing. Very much worth a visit.

This month's 'Nose to Tail' special menu evening was a delight for lovers of much neglected parts of the beast. The opening warm salad of confit duck leg, hearts and gizzards, with beetroot and salsify was a delicious take on the French classic salade de gesiers. This was followed by a trip to Italy with glazed pork cheek with crispy guanciale, celeriac remoulade, fig, and smoked mozzarella. The guanciale (a home-cured pork jowl) was well worth the time and effort put in by Chef James in the kitchen. Devilled lamb kidneys on dripping toast brought us back home to Old England and a reminder of high teas gone by. Roasted calves liver with a wholegrain mustard and oxtail mash, savoy cabbage, sage, caper and balsamic jus, melted in the mouth. Finally, baked stuffed apples, cinnamon ice cream, granola was a sophisticated up-dating of a childhood favourite. With excellent wines to match and faultless service, this was another memorable evening.

Excellent food, great service in charming surroundings. What more could you ask for. A really good evening. Our first visit but certainly not our last!

Amazing food, great service, highly recommended. Go on a Thursday; it’s always a bit quieter. Great selection on the menu, honest and clean food, beautifully presented and exceptionally tasty!

Lovely lunch from the set menu, great swine list and very reasonable all round. First time back for some time but we won’t leave it as long to return. Waiter could have explained what the three cheeses were, but we could have also asked.

It was my first time at this restaurant and i highly recommend it. The food was excellent and the service too. I can't wait to go back.

We still talk about as the best start to a holiday ever. Beautifully cooked and presented. Well done to all concerned and your lovely restasurant

Excellent food, service. The only let down was a table of 6 who were so loud we couldn't hear ourself think! Otherwise I would have given full Mark's.

Although perhaps not a huge selection on the menu the food presented was all of top quality. The service couldn't be faulted and conducted in a warm friendly atmosphere. What more could you want from a meal out with friends.

Truffles is a small, intimate restaurant with friendly, fast service and the food is of high quality. Definitely somewhere my wife and I will be going back to!!

Second visit and as delighted as the first visit. Excellent food and service, the ideal location for a quiet and special meal, looking forward to returning.

Lovely value fir money meal, slightly tainted by the poor ability to produce an Irish coffee. The waitress was apologetic and removed the drinks from the bill, but didn't understand the reason why they tasted sour

Fabulous restaurant with great food and great service. It’s so nice to be able to eat at a local independent restaurant and not feel rushed. Will definitely be visiting Truffles again

Glorious summer weather was well-matched by the BBQ-inspired theme menu. Highlights included a chargrilled vegetable salad, ricotta, with a fantastic romesco sauce, barbequed sardines, and cote de boeuf, with slaw, sweetcorn, salt baked potato, and chimichurri sauce. This was followed by a super palate-cleanser of English rosé and strawberry jelly. Last up was a suitably seasonal Pimms trifle. Overall, another well-planned and executed monthly themed menu event with excellent service and helpful advice on matching wines.

We had a delightful meal at Truffles (as always). Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to answer any questions we had. The starter of red mullet with laksa sauce was exceptional!

Nice Cosy restaurant which is good for a romantic meal. Very attentive and great table service and the food is fresh and very tasty. Good choice of wines too. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely fabulous meal with excellent service and a cosy atmosphere. Menu is short but sufficiently varied to appeal to most tastes and they are very flexible if you want to make some slight changes. Highly recommended

Food and service excellent. The actual restaurant is tired needing a good upgrade with the boring dull decor. Toilets need a good clean. Rather expensive but good value for a special occasion. Will not visit again.

Four of us ate at Truffles in July as we were staying nearby. We visited on a Wednesday so were offered a free glass of wine with an order of two course or more on their 'Wine Wednesday' promotion, which was very nice. The food was delicious and we all enjoyed our dinner. Service was efficient, friendly and relaxed. I have no problem recommending Truffles and we will definitely visit again when we are next in the area.

Superb food. Spoilt for choice - both wine and food were enjoyable. Excellent service. I would highly recommend this restaurant for both quality and value.

We were allocated the table we requested. The staff were efficient and friendly and the food was superb. We will certainly go back for more!

Wonderful food and wonderful staff. This is the best restaurant in fareham by far. Their food it’s award winning quaility, more than reasonable and affordable.

Nice restaurant with good food and atmosphere with attentive and friendly staff and interesting choice of dishes on the menu. Would be happy to eat there again.

Superb food. Looking forward to the next visit. My wife has issues with allergies and they adapt the menu so she does not have to compromise.

Great little find. Friendly, innovative, family run restaurant. Cosy and quirky. Attentive service throughout our meal. Wines were reasonably priced and the food was lovely. My sea bass fillets on crushed peas were delicious as was my husbands smoked duck and cherry starter. Not quite so enamoured with my soused mackerel starter which was served slightly warm which I found it a bit strange, but the sticky toffee desert was fab. We had a wonderful evening and left the restaurant feeling happy. Kim

The meal was truly amazing. Cooked well with fantastic quality ingredients. Recommended to us by a friend and will return. Nice little restaurant that's got great service.

cena in famiglia. qualità eccellente. servizio buono. atmosfera piacevole. dolci squisiti.

Went there for a family lunch. The food was really nice and the people who run the place are lovely. I would highly recommend this little gem.

Another excellent five -course themed menu evening with an inventive range of chicken and egg dishes, ranging from a super roast chicken consommé with Asian mushrooms to start, through to a highly seasonal main course of poached chicken breast, panko egg, asparagus soldiers, hollandaise sauce and jersey royals, and a knockout dessert of Custard tart with raspberry sorbet. As ever, service was attentive and efficient.

A fantastic little restaurant that you would think is a old tea room. But don't be put off, the food and the service is second to none. The menu is changed regularly and there is always something new and tasty to try, especially the deserts for me. My personal favourite a Guiness and chocolate cake "delicious".
