Things to do and Restaurants in Southampton

[Len3]

Somehow my thread got lost. Would you good CCer's please do it again for me? I'm leaving next Wednesday, October 3rd. and have 2 nights pre-cruise in Southampton. Someone mentioned a great restaurant and others made suggestions for things to do. Thanks so much.

To eat well in Southampton is quite a challenge as I find a city of this size to be somewhat of a culinary desert.

 

For non-ethnic cuisine The White Star Tavern in Oxford Street has the best reputation, but I cannot give a personal recommendation. Kuti's, Oxford St., Indian cuisine, is very good.

 

The best eating out in the area is outside the city.

 

Winchester: The Old Chesil Rectory is the best in town and stacks up well as one of the best restaurants in Hampshire. The Hotel du Vin is also good.

 

Emsworth: 36 on the Quay - very good.

 

Stockbridge: The Greyhound - Michelin *'d gastropub.

 

Stuckton: The Three Lions (not a pub) - very good.

 

All the above places are circa no more than 30 minutes away.
