About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Good for groups

Welcome to Smoking Lobster Cowes, an Asian-Fusion restaurant serving fresh, exciting & luscious Asian-Fusion cuisine for both adults and kids. Voted best Isle of Wight restaurant two years in a row.

Family owned by the Giancovich's, with recipes influenced by their extensive travels around Asia, and by their childhood of growing up hunting, gathering, and spear-fishing for seafood.

Our local fisherman, Justin, catches our lobsters & line caught sea bass fresh for our use, so our dishes include the freshest possible ingredients from your local shores.

The bar menu reflects the elegant dishes from the kitchen, with precise, bespoke cocktails prepared using fresh ingredients.

We offer formal dining areas, private dining areas and casual dining areas. If you just fancy a drink, let us know.

We look forward to looking after you.
Note: Dogs are accepted upon request as limited spaces available. We also offer a Special Roast Menu every Sunday!

Last night the food and service were absolutely superb! Brilliant atmosphere buzzy and fun. We could not have enjoyed our evening more. Delicious cocktails before supper and then mouthwatering small bites with a brilliantly paired white wine. Can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful early evening dinner with our two children. The food was pretty much faultless! The service was great. Our two children tried lots of new dishes and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable evening! Thank you very much.

Excellent food. Great menu and everything we ordered was described perfectly. Some of the dishes were outstanding. Specials were varied and the detailed nformation was precise. A good if slightly expensive wine list. Service lacked a little attention to detail, we felt some room for improvement here. Upon entering no staff greeted us for quite some time. At the table we had to ask twice for water and some eating implemts were missing.
