If you're looking for something a little fancy, then the Smoking Lobster seafood restaurant in Cowes is a good option. I'd recommend booking in advance as it can get busy.

City/town information
Gurnard is a quaint, seaside village on the outskirts of Cowes. The highlight of the village is the seafront with its picture-perfect, vivid green beach huts and calm waters, perfect for a refreshing swim to wake you up!
There's a lovely selection of local pubs, a coffee shop & pizza restaurant, and a local grocery store.
It's a lovely 40-minute walk along the seafront to Cowes. Or, you can walk along the coast in the other direction to the next bay over, Thorness.

Neighbourhoods
If you arrive on the Red Jet passenger ferry then you'll disembark in the middle of the Cowes high street. With more pubs than you can count and sailing clubs everywhere you look, it's truly the heart of the town.
There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, a few cafes, and a variety of shops selling anything from sailing gear to lego figures.
