Pap Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 4 minutes ago, jonesy said: Avanti's in Madrid. Cheap as chips all day menu del dia and drinks. Always someone interesting to talk to at the bar. Calle del Gral. Pardiñas, 15, 28001 Madrid, Spain Some chain place called Shiv Sagar near Juhu Beach in Bombay. Full of people like me trying to avoid paying 20 quid for a pizza while staying on the company dime at one of the posh hotels. Pure veg, which also helps avoid the dreaded Immodium scrambles. Fresh strawberry juice was outstanding, and tried a different veggie curry every night for three weeks. Juhu Princess Building, Juhu Tara Road, Near Juhu Beach Juhu, Santacruz West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400049, India Can't find the name, but there's a wee 'eco' restaurant (local ingredients, organic where possible, limited meat) in Reggio Emilia that does the most amazing tagliolini con crema di asparagi. Samsi for Japanese food in Manchester. Fresh fish and friendly service at much more reasonable prices than Harajuku Kitchen in Edinburgh, which itself is great. I know one of the chefs there, and he is really passionate about what he does. Aubergine Curry is top notch. A wee shout out to Sambuca at Causewayside for reasonably priced standard Italian stuff and making my kids feel welcome. I wonder why? To be fair. The place looks great. An interesting place. I'm heading to Madrid at some point soon so will look it out 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbert. Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Golonkarnia in krakow or Vietnam in reykjavik are 2 places that I highly recommend if your there. The only place in Edinburgh I go is Miller and Carter although I did have a meal at a carvery place over from Dalmahoy and it was really good. The place looks a bit shit and you think it's gonna be shite but would go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would meet my Mum there after she finished work, she'd pay my bill and we would go home. Latch key kids hadn't been invented then. My school pal was a good guy but he is dead now and so is my Mum so its nice to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - love the ambience even though the star studded clientele days when it was owned by Peter Langan and Michael Cane may have gone . It needn’t be overly expensive either with a great range of choice - Dover sole my favourite A perfect night out would be dinner at Langans then round to Annabels for a boogie although very difficult to gain access unless someone with you is or knows a member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchin was £85 for the taster, but up to, i think £115. Yes, it’s expensive, but when you think that you could easily blow £60 on a bog standard meal, I don’t think it’s outrageous. You are paying for incredible chefs, incredible food and an incredible all around experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fish and chips are great for lunch. Know what you mean. 👍 In October when things were opening back up, we went there but didn't feel confident about venturing inside. Needn't have worried - they'd put 10 tables out on the cobbled courtyard, and staff were taking your order outside too, so no need to go inside (unless you needed the bog). It was a lovely warm day too, which made the whole thing really memorable. The previous owner/manager was a Hibby - nice guy despite that though. No idea who owns it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are paying for incredible chefs, incredible food and an incredible all around experience. You can also get a 3-course set lunch at The Kitchin for about £50. 3 courses is a lie; with the tuiles and dips and bread and pre-starter not mentioned in the menu at all, it's far more like 5 courses.
