The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in St Michael Winchester South East

Totally surprising place making delicious alcohol-free cocktails with extremely researched ingredients, the vast majority of them locally sourced if not self-grown. The place is like an intimate garden; the scent the choose to diffuse is relaxing and interesting. The owners are charming and welcoming, as we entered they gave us a tasting tour of their specialties!

Good coffee and cake. Lovely aspect outside. Slightly pricey, hence the 4 stars.

Decided to eat a late light lunch here when after visited Winchester Cathedral on an away day. A walk from the cathedral its was near the bus stop for the Park and Ride bus to get us back to our car. We had eaten at the Horsham branch of Chococo before, so knew that we would find something suitable on the menu. Not wanting a large meal, we settled upon a cheese toast and a cheese and marmite scone (with butter) along with a coffee and a mocha (both with the welcome choice of oat milk). The staff were both charming and efficient and they brought the meal to the table for us, (you order at the counter). You can select the percentage of dark chocolate in your Mocha, which made a nice change. There is a large array of chocolates to buy on offer, and a choice of Gelato ice creams as well.

Heaving with live music..very fun & easy to chat to people. Bar staff were excellent, fast service in a packed bar. Recommend as part of fun night out

We booked a table and so glad we did, restaurant was packed, was greeted by Martin who was lovely, very friendly funny guy, had our orders taken, food so tasty, we loved that we wasn’t rushed and could take our time between courses, definitely recommend this restaurant

My husband and I had passed the Dispensary Kitchen a few times, the food always looking delicious. When we did stop there we loved it! The lamb burger was our favourite. The menu wasn’t vast but everything we had was really good. The staff were Delightful and Engaging, which added to our enjoyment. Refreshingly there was no service charge added but we were very happy to tip the staff. Highly recommended

Nice atmosphere attentive staff and they sell Doombar.Saw several people walk in then leave because the place was full but you need to go further there are tables out the back and upstairs so make use of them. Next time i go i will try the food it looked good.

Lunchtime hunger saw us opt for this lovely little bakery, it was rammed with customers but service was very efficient.- superb selection of pasties and cakes for all requiremennts - excellent service from counter and serving staff. Lots of tea selection, but maybe a more comprehensive selection of teas ! Nevertheless a great place to go for lunch. Great tea-pot by the way !

A great location for a Tea Shop so close to the Cathedral and Winchester College. The tea room itself is quite quaint - just what you imagine it should be. A delightful place to catch up with an old friend for an Afternoon Tea. Service alas, on our visit, was somewhat haphazard. Afternoon Tea for two was duly ordered - unfortunately it appeared nothing like the photographs in their advertising. First the sandwich plate arrived - four thin finger sandwiches (two of which were egg, one salmon, one I can't remember), and a mound of dressed salad - way more than any garnish. Not quite what we expected. Then came the cake plate - two (smallish) fruit scones, cream and jam, along with a slice of Battenburg cake, and a square of carrot cake and a cake of chocolate and Guinness cake. Both squares of cake were tiny. Problem - how to share 2 small cakes between two hungry ladies. To be fair, the scones, cakes and jam were obviously home made and very delicious, but a taste is really all we got. I've given a rating of Average for this place. This is because TA jumps from Average to Very Good. I believe their should be a Good. Would I go again? Yes. I would like to try this place again even though I found it quite quirky. I probably wouldn't order Afternoon Tea though. Would I recommend it to others? Yes, if I think they understand quaint and quirky.

Unfortunately, The Bakers Arms in Winchester falls short of expectations. The beer selection is uninspiring, with a lack of variety and little effort to offer anything beyond the most basic options. If you're hoping for a decent pint or something unique, you’ll likely leave disappointed. However, the bigger issue is the overall atmosphere and customer service. There’s an unwelcoming feel to the place, with staff who seem disinterested at best and outright rude at worst. Rather than creating a warm, friendly environment, interactions often feel like you're inconveniencing them just by ordering a drink. It’s not the kind of place where you’d want to linger. With so many great pubs in Winchester, there’s little reason to return to The Bakers Arms. A pub should be about more than just serving drinks—it should offer a welcoming experience, and sadly, this one misses the mark.

Lovely traditional little pub. Really good service, good decor, at christmas it is lovely when we visited. Good choice of drinks

We were in Winchester for the first time with our dog and was recommended this pub by someone local. Being dog friendly we unsure about what it would be like inside but it was a lovely clean pub which was very welcoming. The staff provided a water bowl and treat for the dog and our food was really nice! The pub itself also has a terrace with heaters which look over the river. I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about coming here, especially if you have a dog :)

Lovely friendly pub with beautiful views of the cathedral. Beautiful log fire which was needed on a rainy cold day. Menu is a little limited and most things come with sauces or are odd gastropubs choices. Friendly attentive service once seated, took several minutes for staff to notice us on arrival as it was very busy. Overall would recommend a visit.

Nothing wrong with the quality of the food , the drinks were great as was the food but the price was ridiculous , £8.75 for a small toastie … not sure if I had the ends of the loaf of bread but I was astonished at the size of the toastie and having to pay £8.75 for it , like I said it was very tasty but just tiny and very expensive

It's hard to write a review when you didn't get served, but here goes. We go here now and then for coffee and a Danish pastry, it can be busy but this time we found most of the tables were empty, so sat down and then I went to order. In spite of so many empty tables and plenty of staff, when I tried to order I was ignored for a good minute or so by the teenagers behind the counter. One then decided to speak to me and said "we're not taking orders as we're too busy, come back in 20 to 30 minutes". They said the same to the people behind me, so now I know why it was half empty. At least I was spared the pain of the pastries that cost over £4. It's a pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by, but never again. I don't like being told my custom isn't wanted because they can't be bothered to get themselves organised. I can see this coffee shop going the same way as the others that folded recently.
