1. AO By Daniel Rogan
Brought to life by Daniel Rogan, son of Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan, AO brings refined, farm-to-fork dining to Southampton's lively Oxford Street. Tucked behind an unassuming entrance, the intimate, moody dining room sets a theatrical, exclusive tone with dark decor, candle-lit tables, and synchronised service.
The tasting menu highlights top-tier seasonal Hampshire produce and seafood, featuring standouts like roasted Orkney scallops with miso and Penzance cod in a roast bone sauce. With an exceptional wine pairing that spans biodynamic Grand Crus to intriguing Italian whites, it's a premier destination for anniversaries, celebrations, or an unforgettable date night.
