La Regata

A stone’s throw from Southampton city centre, La Regata brings the warmth of Spain to a cosy, inviting dining room. Perfect for autumnal suppers and festive get-togethers, it buzzes with lively chatter and clinking glasses.

Tradition takes centre stage in the kitchen, with sizzling gambas al ajillo, golden calamares andaluza with aioli dip, and chorizo picante that delivers a pleasing kick. There is comfort in tortilla con espinacas and the mellow depth of champinones al ajillo.

For something heartier, cerdo crujiente pairs succulent pork belly with a whisper of spiced apple, while cordero al rioja is slow and soulful. The paella is a headline act, award-winning and made to share, from the paella marinera for two.

The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, ideal for lingering over shared plates, celebratory spreads or a pre-cruise feast. Book ahead to be sure and let La Regata steer diners to sunnier shores, one delicious wave at a time.
