Brasserie Blanc in Winchester

We had a group of 16, and therefore pre-ordered from a list of 2-3 options for starter, main and dessert. Cheese souffle was lovely, steak was tasty and done as ordered, dessert was delicious. Service was good.

Took our son and friends for an 18th Birthday dinner; it was really easy to book and set up (party of 14); the staff were exceptionally helpful; allowed us to come early and decorate; bring our own cake. They were knowledgable and attentive without being on top of us, bringing water as it was needed for the 18 year-olds enjoying their wine! The mediterranean fish soup was delicious, as was the duck confit. The boys loved their steaks!! It was a lovely atmosphere and I would highly recommend. Thank you Brasserie Blanc Winchester for a super evening.

Lovely food, great service, friendly, attentive, communicative and knowledgable staff. A lovely evening after an organ recital in the cathedral and welcome refuge from horrendous weather outside.

I went with friends for dinner after booking online just the day before. I live in Winchester since 10 years, but went to Brasserie Blanc for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and variety of food (between us, we had the trout, pork, steak and king prawn main dishes), excellent service and nice atmosphere. Contrary to more popular restaurants in Winchester, we were not rushed to leave the table in 2 hours (we actually booked for 6:30 pm and left at 9:40pm) and the included service charge was 10% rather than 12.50% practised by other places around. Totally recommend!

Weekend away in wonderful Winchester with friends - Brasserie Blanc is lovely - atmosphere, staff, food - could not fault.

We celebrated a special birthday for a very large group (20 people) It was perfect from the moment I enquired about the restaurant hosting our dinner to us leaving the restaurant. Joana who one of the senior managers was amazing. Helpful and kind. The food was beautiful and the service was outstanding. The staff were friendly and helpful the entire evening and when you are serving a massive table it can be really hard work and they were brilliant! Such a perfect evening so thanks to the entire team! Our family are huge foodies so catering for all our tastes is sometimes difficult and yet the meal was great! Thanks again

Very friendly service and nice atmosphere. Good choice of food. Bit pricey but worth it. The cheese soufflé is a treat! The vegetarian choices are a bit limited.

Fantastic food and service. First time we've visitied. From the moment you walk in the door you are made to feel very welcome and nothing is too much trouble. My daughter orderd the burger and althoguh it was cooked, it wasn't quite to my her liking. I asked if it could be grilled for a little longer - this was no problem for them at all and they provided a whole new dish. Fantastic food, fantastic service. We will defintley be back.

We had a fantastic lunch here. Service was great too. Buzzy atmosphere and ambiance. Hubby had escargot for a starter along with the beef bourguignon, ice cream for dessert. I had the grilled hake with the rhubarb and citrus crumble. So good.

Went there for my daughters birthday, she had been there once before and enjoyed the food. My daughter had the sausage and mash. The sausages were tasty however there was probaly 3 tablespoonfuls of mash, underneath was supposidly cripy onions, not, and all covered in the gravy. Why they do this I dont know. My son and his wife had the steak, which they enjoyed but the peppercorn sauce was awful, watery and tastless. I had the beef bourguignon, I had seen this posted on you tube, by brasserie blanc. It was absolutley nothing like it tiny pieces of beef, Mr Blanc would not be happy with it, I assume. The meal itself was luke warm. Not very good The best thing we had was the Kale, also I had lots of mash compared to my daughter. I will say that the staff were very good polite and very good service

We've eaten here twice in the last couple of weeks, the first was Friday lunch with special friends, one of whom suffers from dementia. The wonderful Georgiana handled this with such tact and diplomacy, for which we were so grateful. The second time was yesterday early evening, just us two, a starter and a burger each. We loved the new spring starters (the chalkstream trout tartar beautifully presented and tasty, the baked cheese outstanding). Great atmosphere, excellent service and very welcoming.

Lovely venue for a celebration with friends and family. Good service and excellent menu choices. Would recommend as a venue . Good location in Winchester.

It was our first time to the Winchester restaurant and we went for a pre-theatre meal. It was nicely busy, with a lovely buzzy vibe, and the service was attentive and very helpful in terms of advice for my gluten free husband. The food was tasty and nicely presented. A lovely evening all round.

Terrific Sunday roast. Excellent food, staff, service and surroundings. Very good value for money. Very attenuative staff with great knowledge of the dishes and wine list.

Very nice meal. I had cheese soufflé to start which was a bit too much for me in terms of amount but was still really good. We also had the baked chestnut mushrooms with duxelle which was average and not worth it tbh. For mains we had the herb crusted lamb roulade which was decent but the dauphinois potatoes lacked flavour and the jus was quite thin. We also had the confit duck which was nice, I have nothing to complain about there. Overall it was a good meal, good service and they always have some sort of offer or a discount you can get so I’d definitely go again.

It’s been a while since visiting for a Sunday lunch. We were not let down! I called last minute to move the booking back a couple of hours and, even with it being Easter Sunday, we were accommodated without fuss. The service from Rosie and...

After being in so many local pubs, where the pricing is similar, it was great to be in a busy, lively restaurant. The food and service were fantastic.

Delightful experience. We have been meeting up with friends twice a year for about eight years and choose Brasserie Blanc in particular as a restaurant midway between London and Dorset. Food ambience and staff top notch. Particularly enjoy the set menu.

We love Brasserie Blanc and usually there are options I can have (I am on a strict diet due to having an autoimmune disease so avoid inflammatory foods). This time there were no suitable starters for me which was disappointing - they all contained gluten...

Really pleased with our dinner tonight. Warm, welcoming, attentive and friendly staff. The food was lovely, particularly the desserts. The pistachio soufflé was to die for!

We love coming to this restaurant. The staff are friendly and very helpful and the service is spot on. We usually dine here every time we visit Winchester and always have a great time. My husband loves the cheese soufflé and I enjoy the crab...

Service was solid. Pre-dinner cocktails were very tasty. Food was good, but I'm afraid only "good" overall. Cheese Souffle to start was well baked, but accompanying cheese sauce was tasteless. Cheese and leek tart was tasty but not remarkable. Pork rib-eye main was VERY tasty...

Early dinner pre-theatre. Service a little light and had to wave for the waitress to attend on a number of occasions. Food was really tasty and well presented but was expensive, as were the drinks. Would recommend for a special occasion.

Perfect place for lunch with a friend. Loved the food (cheese souffle mmm ......) We were looked after very well, and a slight problem was rectified immediately with no fuss and an unasked-for (and unexpected) refund

We had the set winter menu. The food was delicious and service excellent. Much better than expected and highly recommend a visit.

Our second visit to Brasserie Blanc, meeting a group of friends who all traveled to Winchester for the day and again the food and service was excellent. Interesting and imaginative choices on the menu as well as regular favourites. With everyone driving the original Mocktails...

We had the most incredible tine as Brasserie Blanc, we were brining our parents to Winchester for the day to watch the rugby and have some dinner. I chose Brasserie Blanc due to the reviews and it was absolutely the right decision. I rang up...

Very very slow service, sadly lack lustre food. Incapable of cooking roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings like cardboard .. a very sad experience … incompetent kitchen. Best avoided

Fabulous food please try the pork, you don't need to cut it it falls apart if you whisper on it. All the team were very attentive and gave us a great service. If I had one very very small niggle I'd like more custard with...

superb quality food, service, atmosphere. You would not know this was a chain but a well loved family restaurant. I can not recommend this high enough

Great food with excellent service loved it. I had mussels the best I ever eaten. Will definitely return thanks Raymond for training your staff so well.

We had a lovely evening! Food, drinks and atmosphere were perfect. Melissa and Flora looked after us with 5* service - thank you 🤩

We went for an early dinner having sirloin steak and duck leg confit. Excellent food as always and great value for money. The service was courteous, efficient and friendly.

Excellent service, delicious food and relaxed quiet atmosphere at the restaurant. I have specific food tolerances. The staff were very helpful and happy to adjust the dish so it was OK for me to eat. Definitely recommend

Service was quite good but waitress obviously not experienced. Food came quickly. Prawn cocktail disappointing, straight out of fridge where it had sat for some time as the avocado was grey and the king prawn (not prawns) was not deveined and rather disgusting. Any decent...

Fabulous food service and surroundings this afternoon for an early dinner at 4pm. Staff were super attentive, polite and professional and genuinely cared that we had a great visit. Thank you. Your staff are a credit to your business.

I've not eaten French food in a significant amount of years, so while searching for a restaurant for my partner and I, I thought we should give Brasserie Blanc a try. Our visit was in January so the seasonal menu we chose our selection from...

This is a great location for our annual get together for 30 retirees from our old company who used to work in Winchester. Easily accessible by Bus and Train for all those attending the lunch. The front of house team were very attentive and gave...

As always a wonderful culinary experience and a friendly service, this time especially for my BF s birthday.. A few pictures too.

We were gifted a Virgin Experience meal for Christmas and we chose to go here as recommended from our friends and family. After a shaky start, they really made up when we visited last week. The whole team was so welcoming and the food was...

We are regulars at this restaurant now. The food and service was excellent as it always is. So nice to find a restaurant which gives priority to providing value for money and where the staff are friendly and well trained.

The not so good - why bother putting cauliflower cheese in a ramekin? Serve more gravy as a side automatically and roast potatoes should be crispy outside and fluffy inside. The good - the cheese souflle, the beef so tender, the service and the price...

Absolutely superb lunch… The place ‘rocked’. The restaurant was full with couples, families, and groups of all ages. The staff rose to the challenge and provided superb service in both the bar and the restaurant. Both our meals were excellent. We signed up on their...

We had an enjoyable evening, lovely meal and fantastic service - Raymond sure runs a tight ship. The Herb Crusted Lamb Roulade with Jerusalem artichoke purée, Dauphinoise potato, confit garlic and lamb jus was a little dry and lamb jus a little thin for our...

Busy restaurant with a good atmosphere and great food. I’d recommend a table on ground floor as it’s far nicer than the upstairs area. Friendly staff and good service even when very busy.

The atmosphere was relaxed, staff were very friendly and helpful and food was delicious. Great place for lunch with friends.love

Visited for Christmas Day dinner, the food was lovely although it was very busy the food came out hot and was beautiful, I don’t like to be rushed and finish a course then have another course put in front of me so it was nice to have a little break in between courses. We thought it was very good value for money and would visit again. Thank you for making our day special.

Relaxed atmosphere, attentive friendly service, really excellent food. Would highly recommend the Brasserie, and we will definitely go back.

Awful experience from start to finish. Waited for our table for over an hour! We were told continuously just another 5 minutes. . When we eventually sat at our table the service was slow and the main course was cold. Most definitely will not be going again.

A wonderful festive experience. Staff were great at a busy time. Gnocchi was exceptional and twice-baked cheese souffle is always excellent. Even the salad and French beans were perfect. Hard to fault one thing today! Thank you, BB.

The atmosphere and décor were really lovely and created a private space in what was a very busy restaurant. For us the huge plus was how wheelchair accessible the venue was. Having been let down by another local venue the support and service at BB was brilliant. Service was little slow in places but it was Christmas and they were busy so no real problem at all. Will certainly consider the venue again for work parties.

Went with friends to this wonderful restaurant . We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and the service was excellent. I had mushrooms to start, then chicken, my friend’s had steak and we all thought the quality and presentation was fantastic. The food and drinks reasonably priced for the quality. The atmosphere was lovely and Christmassy, and we were not rushed to leave the table. There is lots of space between tables so didn’t feel crowded although it was busy The staff were really professional and also friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We came to brassiere blanc today for an impromptu lunch and it was so good. The menu had so much to choose from it was hard to decide what to have. We chose, the moules marinaire, cheese soufflé with bread and garlic and herb stuffed mushrooms everybody said it was all delicious, for mains we had the pork with dauphinois potatoes which came with a delicious jus and braised cabbage and coleslaw , the pork was so tender it melted in your mouth, my friends steak was also perfect with salad peas and sauce and chips. We’re we too full for dessert? Yes, but it’s Christmas so 2 had the most delicious toffee sponge with creamy sauce and biscuit it was absolutely yumcious and the other friend had soufflé with ice cream and friut and again it was fabulous. The service was just right, attentive but not in your face. We didn’t feel rushed so had time to chat, laugh and enjoy the meal was very reasonably priced and would def recommend. Can’t wait to return. Thank you

We met a small group of friends for lunch. Everyone chose from the autumn menu and all the meals and courses were throughly enjoyed. Service was efficient, friendly and polite. Our only slight criticism would be that the ambient noise level was very loud making conversation on a long table a little difficult. Overall a very good lunch enjoyed by all.

Our first visit and certainly not our last. Friendly first class service with outstanding food, definitely recommend

Unfortunately this was an awful meal . We have never had a bad meal at this BB Winchester . It was our anniversary so we decided to have a Sunday roast at BB . The service and the starters we as always excellent . Then the roast arrived ,the roast potatoes were grey hard and cold ,the carrots and parsnips were also cold . The replacement veg and roast potatoes were hot ,but the potatoes were still grey and inedible . The manager took our mains off the bill and were very apologetic . This was all very disappointing as we have been going to BB Winchester for many years and is our favourite restaurant in Winchester ,the service and food in the past has always been excellent

We had a lovely family lunch on a busy Saturday in December. The food was great and service was perfect, even though the restaurant was very busy.

Great spot, lovely and warm and welcoming. Staff very friendly. Food good to very good and very reasonably priced. I would become a regular if we were local, but I will be there the next time we are in Winchester. Lovely evening, thank you

I visited here with my mum for an early evening meal whilst visiting Winchester Christmas market. On arrival we were quickly shown to our table and offered water for the table and given menus. We opted for the Christmas Party Menu. I chose the pork terrine to start which was delicious, and my mum enjoyed the cod croquettes. For mains we both had the turkey. Whilst the meal tasted good, my food was not very warm (and I randomly had far fewer vegetables than my mum had!). When the waitress asked how the food was, I mentioned the temperature, but as I was hungry, I was happy to eat it (and I didn't fancy reheated turkey). The waitress obviously informed the manager who came and again offered to redo the plate, but my mum was nearly finished and I didn't fancy eating alone. Completely unprompted, the manager offered to only charge us for a 2-course set menu, rather than the 3 courses we had (so £5 off each meal). We both had the creme brulee for dessert which was really good, followed by tea and mince pies which was a nice way to end the meal. The restaurant was busy, and I believe there was also a large party in, which impacted the kitchen. I have no issues recommending this restaurant as the customer service was 100%. My meal may not have been perfect but the staff were very keen to make amends. Restaurants can't be perfect all of the time, but the way they deal with issues when they arise speaks volumes. I look forward to my next meal at Brasserie Blanc when I'm next in Winchester!

We booked into the Brasserie Blanc based in the TripAdvisor comments. We were blown away by the excellent food and service. The menu has plenty if choice that will accommodate most dietary needs. The service was attentive without being pushy Last and just as important, the price was lower than expected. Highly recommended.

Visiting my sister from N Yorkshire & was treated to Sunday lunch on 3rd. The place was packed & buzzing. Having spent many years in the business I was impressed with the air of calm among the busy busy staff. My beef was rare & melt in the mouth!! Portions were very good & the food was hot. Apple & goosegog crumble really yummy & the “house” whites & reds we chose were really good quality and value. Our servers were attentive friendly & & actually smiled!!! There has to be one negative- either the kitchen ran out of proper Roastie potatoes or they can’t cook ‘em. Mine were pallid & oily. I’m sure the Head Chef will have words. Overall a really enjoyable lunch & in todays ripoff prices exceedingly good value.

The occasion was a family birthday lunch and Brasserie Blanc provided an exceptionally good experience. Friendly and helpful service, fantastic food and a great atmosphere. All of us said that we should plan to come back soon as some of our family were missing and would love this experience. Well done to the whole team at BB.

We were hassled away from our table after 90 minutes where the website clearly states two hours. We had a table at 12pm on 2/12 and at 1.20 were told the next party were in the bar and if we wanted coffee, we would have to move to the bar, then the staff literally stood over us while we got ready to leave. They apologised but it’s not good enough. Greedy management. We won’t be back.

A really nice experience, the restaurant was welcoming and busy for early evening. We shared a starter of Crab Bon Bons and had mains of pork and sea bass, both were excellent. Again we shared a pistachio soufflé which was superb. The bill was very reasonable. A real big shout out to our waitress Gabriella who was very professional, engaging and a lovely young woman. Overall a really great meal … we will return.

Excellent food experience. Service was 1st class, no issues at all. Food & wine so very, very, very good. Thanks to all the attentive staff.

The experience started well. Staff were attentive and friendly. The menu has lots to choose from, all sounding well thought out. Our starters arrived in good time and were tasty and hot. We then has to wait a very long time before our mains appeared...

After rating BB Winchester 5/5 from my last dining experiences there, this was quite different. This was because of the food, not the waiting staff who were very good. Friend’s trout starter had the most minuscule piece of trout on the plate - quite insulting...

Lovely service and friendly staff made this a very enjoyable lunch - even the teen enjoyed the food. We had chateau briande which was delicious. 😋

We went for lunch to celebrate our daughter’s graduation. There were 7 of us. The meal was lovely and service great. Our daughter revived a glass of champagne on the house. We loved it and would go back for sure.

Excellent food and service. Staff were so helpful and kind. We had private dining for a family celebration. Staff helped to make the occasion special. Thank you. Would definitely recommend and return.

It was my younger daughter’s birthday dinner. She really liked the vegan option. My wife and I found the squid and chorizo casserole amazing. We drank the Piqupoul de Pinet wine which was the right selection though I’d have saved money by buying a bottle...

Had the best Sunday lunch here today @£24 for two courses. Lovely starters and we both had the roast beef. Beef was cooked just right and plenty of vegetables. Restaurant was packed but service was not delayed. Highly recommend the Sunday lunch 👌

Not the most romantic of venues. It did feel quite cafeteria-like but the steak was beautifully seasoned and cooked. As there was only 2 of us, we were disappointed to see that there was a 10% tip added to the bill. I asked for that...

This restaurant never fails to please. Food and service both excellent and good value. They shuffled things around to give us a table by the window which was really thoughtful.

A spontaneous decision to go for lunch to celebrate some good news. We both had a starter and a main, accompanied by the Swedish cider, which we hadn't had before - delicious, and good value. All the food was excellent and came piping hot. My...

We had a lovely evening upstairs at Brasserie Blanc in Winchester. The food and drink were excellent, and the service was exactly as you would want. The atmosphere was lovely, and despite being busy, we had a lovely evening. Would recommend highly.

I had a reservation, but they said that the table I had been allocated wasn't available but that they would get another one while I waited. The replacement table was a table for 4 in a heavy traffic area facing the servers' station, with no...

All the staff were very helpful and friendly Praveen the manager along with Joe were extremely helpful Matt our waiter was great Enjoyed the food and we didn’t wait long between courses Atmosphere was good very busy but everyone was looked after

We werent sure what to expect as we had never come across this brand before- but were very pleasantly surprised by the quality and value of the food here - it gives the impression of being more than just a celebrity chef endorsed chain..... we...

Lovely restaurant in Winchester, we were a group of 8 and were seated in the private dining room upstairs. The food was fabulous and the service was amazing! We would definitely recommend this restaurant, and look forward to dining again.

Fabulous service and great food. Lovely decor and surroundings too. A perfect place for a evening event with friends - recommend

The service was exceptional, with promotional drink and excellent food , we will definitely return. The cheese soufflé is a firm favourite, this time I tried the fish cake for mains and really enjoyed it.

Once again a delicious meal cooked perfectly and served by friendly professionals. This restaurant is so much nicer than other Winchester establishments such as The Vine where the staff can come across as cold and disinterested. Crab Bon-bon, ham hock terrine and scallops were all...

I liked this restaurant; good fit out and atmosphere. The staff were positive and welcoming. Expansive menu, reasonably priced. Had fish (Plaice) and an Aubergine pasta dish. Good anchovy starter and olives. Champagne was good value at £9 a glass. Keep up the good work!

This is an outstanding restaurant! No ifs or buts: Exceptional! Courteous and attentive service, a menu from which everyone has a choice to suit any dietary requirement. Impeccably cooked and presented food of sensible portion sizes at spaciously set tables. Definitely recommended!

We had a Virgin Experience Voucher and we’re accommodated with ease. We turned up a tiny bit early coming in out of the rain and were seated straight away. Friendly staff and great service. Food was delicious as Raymond Blanc’s restaurants and gastro pubs always...

Came here last minute after not eating here for years. Was blown away with the food and service. The beetroot starter was fantastic ! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, amazing offers too. We will definitely be returning !!
