Merchants Blue Moon

Ironside House, Ocean Village, Southampton, SO14 3TN

Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere and great service come together remarkably at The Bouzy Rouge in Southampton's Ocean Village to allow guests to have a blast. Live entertainment on weekend evenings is one of the reasons why it is cheerfully crowded with locals and visitors, although it's debatable whether they've come for the music, the relaxed ambience or the appetising modern British and seafood fare. It's probably all three, of course. An extensive refurbishment and name change has put the spirit back into the restaurant. Relax and unwind in the cosy setting while you contemplate ordering the quaintly named starters - Cheshire cat, prawns and flaked haddock coated with soured cream and toasted with red cheese, or hatter's riddle, a delicious mixture of prawns baby squid, bacon, garlic croutons and red peppers tossed in virgin olive oil dressing with parmesan.

The meal is taken to another level altogether with joint of tender lamb studded with garlic and topped with a crust of mint, garlic and breadcrumbs then roasted on the bone and coated with a light onion gravy or a large pork fillet wrapped around a banana and cut into medallions, sautéed and flamed in dark rum and white wine then finished with cream. The mad hatter's platter with a selection of vegetarian dishes is more food for thought.

To end, there's homemade cheesecake, tiramisu and chocolate brownies. The Bouzy Rouge's concise wine list brings old favourites alongside contemporary New World selections while the choice of beers and spirits is extensive.
