Follow up to SEO best restaurant ranking work

I think I can count as a success the couple of tweaks on the black rat website and the Best Restaurant list post that I made here. Blogger has some nice weight for this blog now. Also I am working in a market that is not that competitive but I am moving up the rankings against some big sites.

I now have ranking on google for 4th and 5th for theblackrat.co.uk for 'best restaurant winchester' and 5th and 6th for 'best restaurant in winchester'. And even better number 7 after the map list for 'restaurant winchester'. I will follow up in the next moth if that has given more traffic on those searches.

Best Restaurants in Winchester

I've lived in Winchester for about 10 years and here is my mini review:

The best restaurants in Winchester, England

The Black Rat http://theblackrat.co.uk/
88 Chesil Street, Winchester, Hampshire
A converted pub that still has its warmth and friendliness, but is now a fine dining restaurant. This is the best Winchester restaurant in my opinion.

Wykeham Arms
75 Kingsgate Street, Winchester, Hampshire
Very old pub with some bed rooms and small highly rated food.

Hotel du Vin http://www.hotelduvin.com/
Southgate Street, Winchester, Hampshire
Expensive hotel and exclusive evening dinning, french style and usually fully booked, by an older audience.

Chesil Rectory http://www.chesilrectory.co.uk/
1 Chesil Street, Winchester
The oldest house in Winchester. Restaurant with French menu and new head chef and has won alot of awards for its cooking.

The Gurkha Chef http://www.gurkhachef.co.uk/
Nepalese rather than Indian food, great food and the owner was a Gurkha soldier for eight years.

Dim t
New restaurnat to Winchester and offering good Chinese food from the popular chain.
