Fodor's Expert Review The Black Rat
$$$$
Winchester
Modern British
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This former pub retains relatively reasonable prices despite a list of awards including, at one time, a Michelin star. The Black Rat specializes in hearty Modern British dishes that use locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, several from the restaurant's own kitchen garden. The wine list is extensive, the atmosphere relaxed and slightly quirky, and the decor traditional, with fireplaces, exposed beams, and nooks.
