On our annual adventure we popped into Cowes for the afternoon, there are so many cute boutique clothing and gift shops that we could've spent several hours looking around, but shops close about 5.00pm. So after wandering down to the seafront and parade we headed to a trendy restaurant and bar called The Coast. Several of my clients recommended we go there for breakfast, lunch, or a coffee, but as it was nearing dinner we decided to try out their casual dinner menu.
The relaxed atmosphere, great wine list, and tasty menu made for a lovely evening. The staff were very attentive and friendly not only to us, but to everyone who entered and the place was soon buzzing and full of locals and passers by. Speaking to the manager at The Stag, a local to Cowes he said the place is busy all day everyday & they've recently extended into the neighbouring premises to accommodate the traffic!

We had a deliciously light prosecco to accompany our meal to toast to a lovely girly day out. For our starter we had bruschetta topped with goats cheese, artichokes and carmelised onions and garnished with a rocket and pine nut salad. Delicious!
For our main meal we shared a Quattro Formaggio thin crust pizza and had a side of green salad each, which was topped with spring onions, cucumber and green olives. We were offered three flavours of oil to drizzle on our pizza- plain olive oil, garlic oil and chilli oil. The garlic oil was my favourite, but both flavoured oils added a punch of flavour to the four cheese topping.
We can see why this place is busy every day because the welcoming atmosphere, mouth-watering menu and relaxing setting makes you want to go back again and again! BVF give this place 4/4 diamonds.
