Unique and incredible food

We had a wonderful lunch here, a return visit after enjoying it so much on a previous visit to the Isle of Wight. We tried the First Class (vegan burger - but certainly not just a standard, token vegan burger, but a katsu style with ginger slaw and katsu fries!), the Mind the Gap, vegan option (simply the best vegan breakfast we have ever tried) and the Railroad (a vegan chilli mountain served under a tortilla bowl which was absolutely delicious and a unique meal). We loved it all. It is also considered one of the most dog friendly places on the island which was ideal for us and our four legged family. Visiting is an experience in itself as the restaurant is set out like a train and platform. All spotlessly clean and tidy and all staff very professional and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Pros: Unique experience and vegan meals, Attention to detail on all dishes and flavours , Beautiful setting and lovely staff

Cons: Not fully vegan but knowledgeable staff

Lovely breakfast

Great vegan breakfast - pancake stack with berries, plum sauce and cream. Chai tea with oatmilk was delicious.
They also do an amazing sounding vegan chick'n burger and a chilli too. I'll try these next.

Lovely old station building

An excellent place to go with non vegan friends. They do a stunning vegan breakfast. The interior is nicely laid out with railway style booths. After our meal we had cocktails on the platform outside. Well worth a visit.

Pros: Lovely location, Great food , Cocktails

Cons: Best to book in advance

Themed cafe/restaurant

We had the vegan chilli and vegan burger for lunch, both tasted nice. Expensive but I think you are paying for the presentation of the food and the restaurant which is an old train platform that has been transformed into a restaurant. They also sell bird food there to feed to the swans and ducks on the river adjacent. I also saw other customers order some nice looking cocktails. I thought the railway theme was very cute.

Pros: Cute railway theme, Nice atmosphere outside with wildlife

Cons: Bit pricey

Rip-off

We arrived to this place encouraged by reviews here. There were vegan options on menu but anything we chose was not available, either due to sold out/low stock or that item was from evening or breakfast menu. I found out this at the till where you order and the staff was not really helpful and seemed pretty annoyed. I saw the tagine served and it was of the size of my snack and they ask £16! All the vegan options of mains were in range £15-18!!! I’m glad I didn’t proceed the order and rather left. The building and surroundings are nice. But I wouldn’t be back for the cafe.

Lovely sunny spot with great food

Went here for lunch. It's a fab place to sit on a sunny day, bird watch and enjoy the view. Not an entirely vegan menu but lots of lovely options and I can recommend the tagine! 😋

On the right track!

This is a hidden gem. A beautifully converted old station building with masses of railway memorabilia. There’s a great range of vegan options - all look very tasty.

We were just popping in for a coffee before catching the ferry back home but could see that there is a very high standard of food prep and will be back again before too long.

The old railway line is now a cycle and walking track and you can hire bikes from the place next door to go exploring this beautiful part of the island.

Hope OTR continues to thrive and go even further down the vegan track 😊.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great atmosphere, Friendly staff

Cons: It’s a ferry journey away from us!
