The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Winchester South East

Great food, great coffee, great people, great prices. Little touches like a biscoff biscuit with the coffee means a lot.

Cracking meal. I had pretty low expectations but couldn’t have been more wrong. The salmon and squid ink pasta was fantastic. The chicken was lovely. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. They’re obviously trying which is great to see.

We got married here first during Covid on 2021 and again for the celebration in 2023. The venue was good, particularly with their flexibility during Covid. Unfortunately the experience was let down by their caterers. We ordered 5 Gluten Free meals which were communicated and acknowledged but on the day were not stocked for it! This proved a bit stressful on the day as these guests were severely celiac. The chef did what he could but was not great. We opted to go for the evening buffet bbq for everyone, which was only just satisfactory. The meats were clearly re-heated and quite frankly the product was not of great quality at all. The chicken looked anemic and I would hedge my bet that it was microwaved. Overall a really poor show from the catering side of things, and I hope the venue takes on this feedback as the food and service was terrible - although I don’t think they will as it’s an immediate family member who is a director of the catering company! Edit: To the venue’s response, I would like to add that it wouldn’t have got to court if they had acted in a professional manner. Unfortunately Exquisite catering ignored my complaint, so the cost of £60, to use a morning of their time to listen to my complaint in court was well worth it.

Our family just love Reeves and we have been loyal customers for decades. I’m leaving this review just to say that for the first time this Xmas we were somewhat disappointed with the mince pies. Although they had a lovely flavour and were nicely full, the pastry appeared underbaked (especially the bottom) and it was impossible to remove the pie from the silver foil base cleanly, as each time, the pie just was too weak and crumbled all over the place. Half the base would just break away be stuck to the foil which was really frustrating as we have never encountered this before with any other mince pies. It real gave the impression that the pies were undercooked which left the pastry weak. Please could someone look at this issue ready for next year! We of course will remain loyal customers as the staff are great.

Even though breakfast and dinner was part of our plan for an extended business stay, after dinning a few times and trying numerous items, we chose to go into town and pay to dine elsewhere. We are very budget consequence, to not eat a free meal and purchase food elsewhere says a lot about how disappointed we were with the food. The quality of ingredients was poor and there was a holistic lack of flavor. At times the food at dinner was presented well, picture perfect; however, the meat would be over cooked, the food was poorly seasoned, the soups were literally the worst soups I have ever eaten in my life. That says a lot as I do not think I have ever had a soup I did not like before trying the soups here. Breakfast consisted of traditional English breakfast using poor quality ingredients, runny yogurt, fruit from tins and lots of processed breads and cheap baked items. They did have a few small containers of nuts that you could use as a topping for the yogurt or your cereal. Service was slow, our tea/coffee would come out after we had finished our meal. The one strong positive thing that I can write is that they genuinely seemed to care if people had allergies to any ingredients on their menu. The staff tried but they were mostly young and poorly trained.

We went to Bambridge mainly to see the Christmas displays which were very good. We also had lunch which also was good and tasty served in good time in some nice surroundings despite the staff being very busy and cheerful. Overall a good experience and would visit again.

Been visiting the Hotel du Vin for several years for our annual Christmas gathering with long time friends and we return year on year as it’s always been good. How ever our most recent experience was not up-to the usual standards. The service in the bar for pre dinner drinks was very slow , and we waited for almost 20 minutes for a round of drinks. The selection of draught beers was also very poor (2). The table was a large , square and well decorated but again the service was slow. When we had ordered our food the portion sizes for the starters and mains were on the small side and some of the main dishes were very over cooked ( chicken schnitzel) or the roasted cod was very small, ( we sent this back). Some of the menus supplied were not complete, with pages missing and we were informed at the time of the booking that there would be two menus to select from, including a Christmas one. Turns out it was roast turkey or nothing! All in all very disappointing, and definitely not worth the money for what we had come to experience over the last few years. Service needs to improve as does the value for money experience before we decide if we should re5urn next year.

We decided to drop in to the eclipse today for Sunday lunch, and it really was outstandingly good! We came in a few weeks ago, and the marked improvement in the roast was something else. Myself and partner had the beef and our daughter the pork, it looked stunning on the plate and was an even better eat. Great improvement, service as always was exemplary! We will be back!

Really dissapointed. The prawn and crayfish starter looked more like a conjeeled lump taken straight from a tub in the fridge. The smoked pork tbone looked more like tinned ham - though the accompaning dauphinaise was good. The toilets were freezing and very basic. This is the second Brasserie Blanc I've been to and the second time I've been dissapointed. With the name I had expected it to be on par with the Ivy Brasserie chain but unfortuantely no where near.

Pizza burnt and tasteless Been here before and loved it but after this never again. We had other stuff which was OK but it's the pizza we come for but it was burnt.
