Wow, wow & WOW! Tonight we were invited to create some content for Stefan & Ramona (Owners) of the taste sensation Stripped Brasserie and I can assure you that it absolutely did not disappoint. Walking through the door you immediately feel a very chilled vibe, great atmosphere and most importantly ably a very warm welcome from Stefan. Having looked at the menu we decided to ask Stefan for his personal recommendations which he was more than happy to offer and this is where it REALLY got interesting, excuse me for a second whilst I just try and stop myself salivating at just the thought of the food again! A starter created, designed by Ramona completely from her imagination we tucked in to the flatbread which is topped with Camembert, honey roasted walnuts and crispy bacon before having another squirt of honey for good measure, WOW! Genuinely, this starter has to be in the TOP 5 of any dish I have EVER tasted and is a must when you come and visit! The second starter we shared were garlic infused prawns tossed in butter, I mean come on? Are your taste buds not doing star jumps already? On to the main event whilst our taste buds are still trying to recover from the knockout starter! Lamb chops? No, not just any Lamb chops, these are BIG, JUICY, SUCCULENT and perfectly cooked , locally sourced Lamb chops and I can promise you that you will be stunned at the value for money! Whilst enjoying our feast Stefan asked if we would like to try a wine that was very special to him, not only was we happy to try the wine but we felt very privileged that Stefan shared a story with us from when he was a young 14yr old lad working in the vineyards picking grapes in Romania, the bottle of wine he proudly held in his hand was only a bottle of wine from the very vineyard that took him back to his childhood. Stefan, Ramona, thank you! It was a pleasure to meet you both and thank you for inviting us to taste your mouth watering food and for making us feel not only welcome but apart of your journey for the night. We look forward to visiting you again soon. All the best. Chelsea & Ross
Best food I’ve had in Isle of Wight !! Loved the atmosphere and the family run business. Food was amazing and so tasty. Best sourdough bread I’ve had, I could just eat the bread by itself. Meze’s were so great we literally scraped the bowls.
If you ever find yourself on the Isle of Wight and are looking for a cosy restaurant, look no further; Stripped Brasserie is an amazing place, the food was excellent, starting with an entree of zacusca made fresh each day served with a flavourful bread, the lamb dishes were out of this world and the wine selection is diverse and classy. Most likely you will find some Romanian dishes in their specials as well which is an added bonus. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Make sure you book in advance as seating is limited and they are super busy.
Highly recommend the stripped brasserie! Staff were great, accommodated allergies and were very attentive. The atmosphere and decor are great. The food was amazing, recommend the pepperoni pizza and the lamb chops! Also were given a rose as it was valentines day weekend, a lovely touch! Will definitely be returning
Great music, friendly staff, and delicious food! We had the sarmale (stuffed cabbage) which we loved and reminded us of our polish grandmothers golumpki. Lots of other delicious sounding choices. Great night! Also here is a cute cat we saw on the way.
Our first visit but not our last. Great friendly service with lovely food. We were both impressed by the quality of the food, I opted for Lamb Chops, they were succulent, cooked and presented beautifully. My wife chose chicken schnitzel a difficult dish to cook well, it was a delight, moist and tender.
Fantastic restaurant. Relaxed and welcoming with a lovely atmosphere. Clearly the owners take a huge amount of pride in how they treat their customers , faultless and such an enjoyable evening. The lamb chops were a firm favourite , beautifully cooked and so tasty.
