The Library Restaurant in Portsmouth is not only one of the best restaurants around, but it is also a completely unique restaurant, unlike anything else in the world. Have a look:
The Library Restaurant is located in the historic Rockingham House, a historic brick mansion that was built in 1785.
Inside, you'll feel as if you've been transported to have dinner in Victorian times.
The food, especially the steak, will also make you feel as if you're in a dream.
However, the unique history and elegance of the Rockingham mansion is what really sets The Library Restaurant apart. You could spend your whole meal looking at the intricate details of the mansion's construction.
