Best Restaurants In Southampton

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.

Jetty knows a thing or two about good food. From truffle macaroni and turbot to pan roasted chicken breast, the stunner also serves beautiful cocktails. Mushroom infused brandy anyone?

Boasting an award-winning smoker imported from across the pond, Red Dog Saloon rustles up quite the selection of mouthwatering meaty morsels. To pair with your pulled pork sandwiches, St. Louis ribs and chopped brisket, grab a pint of craft beer or a tasty cocktail.

For places to eat in Southampton West Quay, head to All Bar One. Tuck into a menu filled with tapas such as spice lamb meatballs and vegetable tempura, or enjoy something a bit more substantial - think burgers, pad Thai and plant-based lasagna.

Promising over 50 craft beers, Brewhouse Kitchen is also showcasing the grub to match. Settle into this cosy boozer's interiors or head to the scenic beer garden during the summer so you can chow down on grilled prawn skewers and American hot buffalo wings.

If you're after fine dining in Southampton, then Blue Jasmine is the spot for you. The Southeast Asian restaurant boasts gorgeous interiors, complete with an outdoor terrace - the views of the marina are stunning. Plus, grub includes the likes of crispy honey soya chicken and Malaysian chilli prawns.

Maki rolls? Japanese fried chicken? Beed teriyaki? Yep, we're already drooling. Enjoy some of the tastiest Japanese plates at YO! housed within WestQuay Shopping Centre. Step inside this venue, where you'll be able to watch your plates arrive on a keitan conveyor belt and quaff sake.
