Black Rat

This is our Michelin Star restaurant of Winchester the Black Rat. I pass by it every day on the way to work, but haven't yet eaten here. The Black Rat became a restaurant in 2007 and received its Michelin star in January of this year. Parts of the building date back to around 1550 and it has been a pub since 1770. The Black Rat is a part of a little 'Black' chain within Winchester. There is a Black Boy pub and recently opened Black Bottle wine bar.

  1. The house is cute but the name is kind of a turn-off as far as my wanting to eat there.

  4. Hopefully rats aren't on the menu! It's not in the greatest part of town. Not sure what the most popular thing is on the menu, but aparently they do have their own alotment where they grow their vegetables

  5. I don't think it was there when I was, I wonder if it has stolen any of the clientele from the Chesil Rectory?
