supersonic Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 Looking for a decent restaurant in Southampton area for a meal with the wife later this evening. At the moment we've shortlisted Buffalo Bills and Banana Wharf Are these any good or has anyone got any other recommendations? Would prefer to be near city centre as off to the theatre Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Stickman Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 There’s quite a good range of restaurants in Oxford Street. I had an excellent full English breakfast in the White Star one morning; I suppose they do evening meals as well. Also some chaps my brother-in-law does business with took us on a corporate day lunch to the Grand Café just off Oxford Street, where we also had a good meal before going on to St Mary’s – again, not sure if they do evening meals, I’m afraid.

Goatboy Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 Short walk from the Mayflower to the civic centre and I would recommend La Tavernetta. Much better than bbills or b wharf. Or as suggested, Oxford Street has a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 Oxford Brasserie was one of my favourites on Oxford Street.... this is different from Oxfords. Only been to White Star once but it was very nice. Mango (Thai) is in the City Centre or Portswood and is my favourite ethnic place. Someone is probably going to recommend Turtle Bay for Carribbean food, but we prefer Coco Rio http://www.cocorio.co.uk/ ... Probably forgotten some others, but they're the ones that spring to mind.

100%Red&White Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 If you looking around Ocean Village, Chiquito’s is good if you like Mexican or a bit posher, Merchants next door, only been there once (a while back) but had a very good meal. As said, a varied good, choice around Oxford Street and a couple of decent Italian resturaunts in the area too. Ennios opposite Town Quay is very good.

Turkish Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 There is a brilliant portugese restaurant called Nandos, specialises in chicken. Recomend it highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 Southampton itself is still a bit sparse for food really. Simon's @ Oxfords is nice enough as is the Pig in the wall opposite the Grand Harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Minty, have you tried Baan Mai opposite Sainsburys in Portswood? Used to be called Sara's and is much more authentic Thai than Mango (which I also like).

so22saint Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 7Bone Burger in Portswood - it's ****ing brilliant and my missus is a vegetarian and still enjoyed it... For romantic meal Winchester is a better bet - Brasserie Blanc, Hotel du Vin, One La Place (Froggies), The Plough @ Sparsholt, The Running Horse @ Littleton, The Old Vine, Bukkake or whatever the Japanese place is called, Loch Fyne...

The Cat Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 If your missus likes stuffing her face with meat then Fogo Gaucho is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 If your missus likes stuffing her face with meat then Fogo Gaucho is good. Just googled that and (going by the website), that does look good. Better than that Casa Brazil place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsaint Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 Check out the ones listed below. I've heard good things about Quay Fifteen at Shamrock Quay. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurants-g186299-Southampton_Hampshire_England.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essruu Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 Just googled that and (going by the website), that does look good. Better than that Casa Brazil place?

It does look decent. Out of interest, does Guly still have a place in town/head back much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essruu Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 It does look decent. Out of interest, does Guly still have a place in town/head back much? No, they gave up the penthouse apartment that they had. He's been back a fair few times though; both to London and Southampton, to Staplewood and out with the players he was good mates with. Everybody loves Guly - you'd struggle to find anyone at the club who has a bad word to say about him. Top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be better than Casa Brasil. Meat too well done for me in there though Jose and Gaston seemed to enjoy it last time I was there. I have been spoilt by Bem Boms on the Algarve. Nothing similar has measured up so far. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g580249-d739859-Reviews-Bem_Bom-Quarteira_Faro_District_Algarve.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 Kraken's top 5 eateries in the local Southampton area: 1) Kohinoor, Portswood (Indian). 2) Zen, Below Bar (Japanese). 3) The Rockstone, Beavois Valley (pub grub). 4) Coriander Lounge, Below Bar (Indian). 5) Mexigo, London Road (fast Mexican nosh). Granted, you'll find better fine dining in some other places. Fogo Gaucho is also good as previous reviews say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieDog Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 I'm always telling the missus that English takeaways are better than Aussie ones, so any recommendations for best fish&chips, Indian, Chinese, and pizza places within 20 miles of Southampton please?
