Looking for a top restaurant.

I've got to spend £50 as a gift for me and the lady at a restaurant in Hampshire, I would prefer one that has a great vegan menu if anyone knows of a good place?

I'm not one for spending money on a good bottle of plonk so it's going to have to be quality expensive food.

 

Any help guys?

Does 50 quid for two really qualify as "expensive"? You'd spend that in a cheap and cheerful place for 3 courses plus beers/soft drinks, surely?

 

Also, vegan restaurants are pretty specialised, I'd think that would add a fair bit to the budget.

Dont know about Hampshire - but if you fancy a day trip to Brighton 'Terre a Terre' is exceptional, amongst the best veggie and vegan food in the country and not all that expensive either.

The only restaurants I know of that cater for Vegan's in Southampton are Nemaste Kerala and Indian Melody, both Indians. There are other places but they're mainly cafes (like Art House).

 

Bengal Sage and Bangkok Brasserie in Winchester (part of the same group) also cater for Vegan I believe (certainly have a good range of vegetarian food), and are excellent.

 

Nothing that I would say was really 'top' quality though.

Ive tried those Indian places you mentioned Minty and they are alright.....

To be honest the last quality food place I went to was the Rhinefield house (I never paid) and that was a big wooden plate with a few chips, one vegetable and a mean fat steak, the lady could only have what a rabbit would eat as they never had any vegan....shocking.

You look like the sort of bloke who would know a good Vegan menu when he sees one.:?

 

I didn't say "good" ... I said there is one, you plum ;)

 

I don't understand why anyone would want to be a veggie personally, but hey ho! It's a nice little place to eat, peaceful, in the New Forest and they do a veggie menu with "vegan" (which is even more odd - sorry Pilchards!) options - so it fulfils the criteria!

Was going to try the 2 Italian restaurants by the red funnel but it's the bloody boat show....

 

 

 

far too booked up :-(

 

Ennios? Excellent, again more than 50 quid though. If you join delicious dining online though you can get a loyalty card which gives you discount there and a few other places in Hampshire.

Thank you Turkey for your kind help, I shall do that straight away.

 

Ps I bet I can eat there for £50 if it means water and the cheese board last.

Got to laugh as we went to the Montagu Arms in Beaulieu (the posh part)

 

We sat down and got the menu which said 3 course meal £85 EACH.

I only had £90 on me so we asked if we could have a 2 course instead. They came back with £65 each...

 

We had to get up and leave and walk to the other part which was way cheaper.

 

I can't believe people pay those prices on top of a bottle of wine £560.

Its nuts.
