And from Southsea to Old Portsmouth, Portsea and even Langstone, readers of The News have told us which ones they believe serve the best food.
Pubs and restaurants in England are now allowed to serve customers outside thanks to lockdown-easing measures which came in on Monday, April 12.
Plenty of these reader-recommended venues have outdoor spaces to do that, and those which don’t can reopen on May 17.
If you’re on mobile, be sure to scroll down to see all our readers’ suggestions, or click through the pages if you’re on a PC.
We’ve counted their votes and announced an overall winner below.
