Our restaurant is located in the heart of Cowes at 117 High Street. We have dining on the ground and 1st floors. We love to welcome children and dogs (on leads please). For a relaxed, friendly and comfortable environment, where everything is made or cooked to order, then Harbour Kitchen is definitely going to be a worthwhile visit (or takeaway).

I would recommend this restaurant.
My partner and I came here for lunch. We were having dinner soon so only wanted something light. We decided to get a cajun chicken burger and dirty fries to share.
The food took a while to arrive but the chicken burger was really good!! The burger cajun seasoning was great, the chicken juicy and the cibatta was very nice. The hashbrown in the burger was really yummy!
The fries were..well..um..interesting.
They had avocado, bacon bits, salad and mustard and burger sauce on top. I'm not sure if they were trying to be fancy but it just felt random...salad on

Very good place to stop before heading to the red jet! The lunch was great. Food was fresh, tasty and many home made choices. The lady was very attentive and friendly with us. Nice and practical cube-touch system to call the staff to the table. The space has a floor above. Clean toilets! Definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely delicious meal. Great choice of vegan meals alongside non vegan. Staff were welcoming and attentive. We had the lentil seed burgers which were amazing, then the vegan blackberry crumble and a huge milkshake. We will definitely be back and highly reccomend to anyone. (There were also Gluten free options available)

Called in with friends on a Monday evening. Cowes was particularly quiet but this place was still buzzing. A very cosy, funky restaurant with great staff and a great menu.
Hendrick was a great host and the young lady in the kitchen made THE BEST seafood meatballs and burger we've ever had. A real talent in the kitchen backed up by a great server/host. Very well made espresso martini to end the evening.

Just Some olds that went on the lash on a Monday night and ended up here. fantastic food, drink and service. Hendrick was especially attentive and the young lady who cooked our food (didn't get her name but… apparently is only 17) did an amazing job. Seafood meatballs were lovely and the burger is the best I've had in a long time. good off with a lovely cocktail. great ambience. great food. great choice. Thanks all

This restaurant looks very nice from the outside and nice decor on the inside as well as nice food but the best part is the location in cowes highstreet which is a very nice area for dining and just nice in general if you want to go to a good seaside town I would highly recommend cowes. Ps I have never been in the harbour kitchen I've only seen it from the outside.

Great welcome, great food and great service. The food excels and you wonder why so many places can make a mess of cooking a burger when this place does it perfectly. It’s all in the meat quality a according to the owner and she is right on that! However if you are a Veegan you will be well catered for and there is an interesting mix of food to try. 100% recommended. PS great value too!!

Very friendly and efficient service. Food was fine but a little under-whelming. Burgers feature heavily on the menu, and the burger I ordered was tasty and cooked well but drowned out by some pretty average sauce. Chicken wing starter was fried too heavily. Nice wine and nice ambience. Nothing specifically wrong with anything, but was hoping for better. Lots of good reviews so perhaps this was just a place not to my taste.

Amazing & welcoming staff, the food was excellent! We had the burger dumplings for starters which were lovely. My family & I all ordered burgers, the burgers are definitely hand made, the fat to meat ratio was spot on! The burgers were cooked to perfection, tender, juicy and very tasty! The kids ordered milkshakes which huge and were made authentictly in a milkshake machine & not a blender! Would definitely recommend!!!

Amazing selection of food including vegan and vegetarian options! We really enjoyed our visit to HBK, the staff were very friendly and the venue itself had a great vibe. There was an extensive menu with so many options, making it difficult to actually pick! The mushroom & pepper burger, and bbq bean & seed burger we opted for were both delicious and we’ll definitely return next time we’re on the island!

Our family stumbled upon Harbour Kitchen by chance on a busy bank holiday. I can see that HK are famous for their burgers but we ordered their other items: seafood platter, crab cakes, seafood dumplings and fried peri chicken.
This party of four (including two "food critic" kids) absolutely loved the food. Dishes were unique in taste and it seems like the prepare/ combine the ingredients themselves, not found anywhere else.
Service was brisk, and so were the scenes of our kids eagerly chomping down the food. This is finger fast food at its best, combined and prepared with quality ingredients
