WELL we are in Ventnor and found this... Mushi - The Rex ============== It's Thursday and we walked round Ventnor looking for an evening meal. Not to much to chose from, the bistro was wholly recommended but it was full. Walked up church street and found the Mushi. Family run Thai fusion style food The host was great service, Food best we have had in a long time. Good pricing Yes it's fusion home made so has a bit of spice,on the low side. If you like spice just ask to spice it up!!! This is a place to search out and try when on the Isle-of Wight
Delightful lunch, outside patio area with superb views over ventnor bay. Salmon & crab parcels to start & grilled chicken in orange blossom butter sauce, mains, pan fried sea bass & i had the seafood bowl. All a lovely fusion, very reasonably priced with outstanding service, this is a ventnor secret.
Delicious food and amazing views from the restaurant. Restaurant is easy to find and the the mains were of generous portions. Facilities were clean as well.
A total hidden gem! Super friendly service with exceptional ocean views both inside and on the patio. The seafood platter for two was exquisite, and the honey brazed chicken has no competition anywhere on the island. Delicious! Be sure to have a Lassi when you drop by too... We'll definitely be back, it was a lovely experience.
We finally got around to trying Mushi yesterday evening. What a great addition to the Ventnor dining scene! Everything we tried, we loved. Well cooked, flavourful and served with genuine warmth and caring, plus one of the best views in Ventnor. We will definitely be back!
We had a lovely quiet Sunday lunch here in the lovely art deco surroundings (with a great easy listening jazzy playlist). Such delicious food and charming service. A lovely location with a great view over the sea. We had the signature seafood dish and their celebrated rice (bruleed) pudding. These guys (husband and wife team) are still at an early stage of starting their business here and deserve support and encouragement. Go and enjoy! We will be back!
We were visiting Isle of wight and after sightseeing on the island, we found this gem of a place. The food was incredible, service was good and was lovely meeting the owner. Would highly recommend the seafood bowl and sharing platter. This is a must visit if you are looking for a nice dinner in Isle of wight.
A perfect spot for a family get together! We had a fantastic family dinner here! The menu had something for everyone, and the staff were attentive and helpful. We have tried salmon, sea bass and chicken, all are so scrumptious. My daughter mentioned she had the best crispy chicken ever. The atmosphere is so cozy with best sea view in Ventnor. We will definitely come back. Highly recommend Mushi.
