Pinkella Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Top restaurant in what sense? Are we excluding food in pubs here? I love food and I just cooked fillet steak peas beans and broccoli for himself and myself, absolutely lush! I could have had the same at the local up the road. I could have had the same at the butchers Arms and paid a lot of money for it only up the road a little further! Top nosh really depends on my mood or rather my taste buds mood. Sometime a cheese and onion sandwich is all that is required to satisfy my pallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with a cheese and onion sandwich. I do sometimes laugh at the price of a pigeon breast starter in a restaurant when i have a freezer full of pigeon breasts.

margun Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 The Red Lion at Stodmarsh was stunning until recently when they changed chefs. Best meal I've ever eaten was at a tiny restaurant called La Marmite de l'Abbaye in Lehon, Brittany. Traditional French cuisine cooked perfectly,served by a husband and wife team washed down with some outrageously good wine. I of course had the ethical option of fois gras followed by slow cooked Breton veal stew. Amazingly, it came to Eu120 for 4, would have paid double that and then some.

figgy Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Going to the Ivy next time I'm in London this winter. Been to a couple of top northern restaurants and been disapointed. Much prefer a local place called Cafe Lillie, French bistro style place and the food is very very good. Really good atmosphere, with a hubbub of conversations going on that you can't overhear weird in a good way as you can talk while eating in relative privacy in an open room.

paddywack12 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Clos Maggoire just off Covent Garden great food and service and if you know your wine over 2000 different ones on the wine list. Try and get a table in the conservatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Having been out to dinner last night, I will add, any restaurant where the waitresses don't say for example: 1) "are you OK over here is there anything else I can get yoooo guuuuyyyzzzz?" 2) "n-joy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Which northern restaurants?McCoys at the Cleveland Tontine is one Michelin starred place that didn't impress me. Another supposed good place over in the lakes that was recommended also only average. And more so called top places with parents. Suppose its down to what you expect from a restaurant, first and foremost for me its the food. Enjoyed better food in France at local eateries, as others have said depends on palette and mood.
