Made an unscheduled trip to Andover and never having been before just wanted to find somewhere decent for lunch. We went here by default having discovered that there'd been a power cut in Pizza Express just moments before we walked in. We found this place and were just relieved to see it open and serving lunch. We were surprised to be served some really nice flatbreads with dips for free. We ordered various dishes including a delicious chicken wrapped in flatbread with yogurt dip, lamb shish kebab, salmon and vine leaves. It's was such a lovely and unexpected find and we were all very happy with what we'd ordered. Would definitely go again - well worth the trip!

Named after the elegant mile-long parade of lime trees which it overlooks, the Avenue Restaurant exudes old-school charm and elegance. Set in the 17th-century Lainston House Hotel, minutes from historic Winchester, this is quintessentially British cuisine

This is by far the best restaurant I've visited for a long time - it's really up there. I enjoyed every minute of it and it really pushed the boundaries of what would seem like just a hotel restaurant.Just to make this clear from the off, this is a proper 3-course meal sit-down restaurant and it will be expensive, so if you'd prefer a more relaxed meal that's not like that and you're staying at the hotel, try the menu for the Cedar Bar and Lounge, where you can get burgers etc. for a lower price.I ate here on the Friday night so the menu was the ordinary 3 course a-la carte dining menu for dinners. We were acquainted with some drinks in the bar before ordering from the comfort of our own seats, and then escorted through. We had some light canapes but I didn't care for them, but others would have rated them:Canapes - 7/10The first amuse-bouche was a Mushroom Cappuccino with pepper croutons accompanying it, it was very exquisitely presented, however the taste was slightly lacking flavour.Amuse Bouche - 4/5The second amuse bouche we were served was a bread basket. As far as bread baskets go, I'm not rating it because although it was fantastic, all restaurants that provide them are not going to do them badly, so...The starter, that we ordered and was not set and I went for the Hand Dived Orkney Scallops with chicken in pastry and celeriac. I myself don't eat scallops, but the rest of the meal was fantastic, and I know that the other starters my family had were absolutely great as well, and the choice of starters was extremely good and imaginative compared to conventional ones.Starter - 10/10We were soon with our chosen main course, which for me was venison as I am very partial as a meat-eater. They balanced the 4 choices so that you could have different types of fish or different types of meat, and therefore you had 4 different but similar choices at the same time. So choice in comparison with presentation and taste of the venison (which was cooked medium by default and seasoned with ragout and garlic)Main - 49/50Between this course, we had a small passion fruit jelly with a sour creamy yogurt underneath and meringue on top. I thought it was very nice and not really much more to say about it.Third Amuse Bouche - 4/5The final course was chosen to make it that we were being given a balance of a set menu and choosing but it was available as a six course tasting menu for an extra charge. I really loved my chocolate ganache but was too full to finish it but it was extremely well presented and made from the first impressions. But, the reason why I could not finish was because it was very rich, but then I guess they should be.Dessert - 18/20Overall Score = 94/100*****A fantastic meal and would recommend it thoroughly. Just note that 3 courses are £62, 2 are £52, and drinks are not included. Also, children must be over 11 and there is no kid's menu although the portions could be smaller and certain extras or sauce could be changed slightly.Thank you for taking the time to share your 94% review of our award winning Avenue Restaurant. It is very pleasing to hear how much you enjoyed your dining experience and with so much detail. I shall share your glowing feedback with both the Kitchen and Restaurant teams and thank you for your kind recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the not too distant future.Kind regards,James WebbOperations Manager.
