Gaucho

➤ 2a St. Mary's St. Manchester, M3 2LB, M3 2ER, United Kingdom

Steak • Seafood • Asiatic • American

"The place was a bit dark and dreary when the South American name would indicate Latino bright and vibrant atmosphere. Swivel seating was a bit unusual and there was live music but again it was a bit dreary. The wine list was presented to us (a book) and the wines were extensive and very expensive the cheapest being £30. We went for the food experience not a wine tasting which was way over priced. the usual wines we would select were all in the region of £60 to £80 a bottle. It was a bit of a spoiler really. The steaks came on a black plate with chips on the side. We had asked for medium but they were more medium rare and had t been rested properly as there was blood running from it. There was a lot of lumps off at in the steak we have had a lot nicer. The seasonal green veg was garden peas and pea pods and shoots and I selected the sriracha sauce which was more of a green herb and chilli oil with crushed chillies , very greasy and not a sauce. Sauces. To be honest we were just goi g to walk when we saw the wine prices but it was our anniversary. We didn’t have a starter just the main and we really just wanted out. The whole experience was over in 40mins. They did offer a complimentary drink and we asked them to give it to the young couple who sat next to use and didn’t have any wine after viewing the wine list."

Gaucho Sloane

➤ 89 Sloane Avenue London, SW3 3DX, SW3 3XB, United Kingdom

Meat • Wine • Steak • Casual

"The only thing that was good about our lunch was service helpful, timely, friendly and professional. But otherwise not worth going the room was way too cold, the loo was absolutely freezing. Everything in the room feels shabby and just out of shape. Food wasn’t amazing to put it gently. Burrata not creamy. My steak completely overcooked. The other steak cooked well but Uber salty. Prawns tasted of nothing. Mash dry. Broccoli flavourless. Spinach just outright bad. And all this for £170 for two adults and a child, no drinks, no starters. There is much better value elsewhere in Chelsea if you want steak The Chelsea Tavern, the Butcher etc. This was a poor meal and poor experience, but great service made it just a bit less painful."

Gaucho Chancery

➤ 125126 Chancery Lane WC2A 1PUWC2A 1PU, London, United Kingdom

Wine • Meat • Steak • Drinks

"I've personally never had a bad experience at Gaucho. The quality of the food is great personal preference, I also enjoy the ambience and style of Gaucho restaurants. Yes, it is expensive but I think that the whole package is worth the price.Big shout out to the guy at reception that pretty much ran to bring me my card that I've left on the table"

Gaucho Smithfield

➤ 93a Charterhouse Street London, EC1M 6HL, EC1M 6AH, United Kingdom

Bars • Steak • British • American

"gaucho is very renown for its incomparable Argentine steaks in the offer. to be fair when they are a bark lover, this place cannot disappoint them. the meat especially the ancho cut is absolutely sublime and quite literally melts in her mouth. the sides of gauchos are also very respectable, although veggies had come a bit cold last time, I visited the place. the service is excellent of what I remember and extremely professional. to be fair, you can say they expect this for the price they pay their flesh. that brings me out of my mind to the negative of gaucho. I would say that the decor is too dark and mysterious. I agree that this was nice when gaucho first came, but it has now reached a stage where it should refresh its vision and maybe go easier? second, the meat is good, but also very expensive for normal man. third, Argentine steak eating is terrible for the environmental consciousness and meets me every time I eat there. overall but, great place and luxurious eating. my advice: don't hesitate a second when they're looking for a big steak. gaucho is the place enjoys!"

Water Margin

➤ Unit 23, Greenwich, United Kingdom

Full • Wine • Steak • Chinese

"Visited with my daughter before the Celine Dion concert on 29th July. First impressions were good but things went downhill fairly quickly. We arrived about 5.30 and were seated upstairs. Despite being fairly quiet staff still seemed a bit flustered. We ordered drinks and received the wrong order, when asking for it to be changed the waitress didn't totally understand the problem but eventually returned with that we ordered. We only had soft drinks but just tasted like cheap juice. The food looked lovely, with a good selection, but sadly not as tasty as it appeared. By 6.15 it was getting quite busy and as you would expect the food that was available soon disappeared. Unfortunately they just couldn't keep up with demand at this point and took ages to replenish food, plates and cutlery. People were waiting to be served with drinks and queuing for food for an unacceptable length of time. A few were complaining but weren't getting much response. An apology goes a long way to appeasing people but it wasn't forthcoming. When they finally started to top up the food it was going quickly again so no doubt it would've ran out again all too soon. We didn't hang around to find out once we saw the dirty, wet dishes that were brought out for desserts. That was a bit off-putting so we gave up and left.Probably nice when they don't have as many people to look after but wouldn't go back to find out!"

Gaucho Richmond

➤ The Towpath, Richmond, United Kingdom

Full • Wine • Steak • Pasta

"Being immediately after New Year and early in the week, the restaurant was only moderately busy and comfortably accommodated our party of 8. The service was attentive and the food was good, albeit expensive especially when one adds in side dishes [chips, vegetables etc] each circa £4 to accompany the main courses. My main gripe is that the wine list is expensive, with the cheapest wines at £35 and rapidly rising thereafter for wines that aren't particularly special, which in turn bumps up the service charge."

Gaucho Tower Bridge

➤ 2 More London Riverside Southwark London, SE1 2AP, United Kingdom

Wine • Steak • Casual • Coffee

"We went as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children. I must admit the experience was pretty disappointing. The steak was a little over cooked, the chips were soggy (they must have been sitting under the heater for a long time) and the ribeye could have been a lot more tender. Burger was good value, chicken Milanese was over cooked. Service was great and ambience enjoyable. It’s a nice looking restaurant and a seat near the window is recommended, there is always something to look at. Probably won’t rush back."

Franco's

➤ 61 Jermyn Street London, SW1Y 6LX, SW1Y 6JH, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Casual • Italian

"This restaurant was extremely loud for the price you pay. It was difficult to have a conversation because the tables were too close together. When paying a premium for a meal, I expect better ambiance. The service was subpar, with the staff appearing stressed or indifferent. I had to flag down the waiter to place my order, as he left before I could order my side dish. However, the food was of good quality, so credit to the chef for that."

Cafe Murano

➤ 36 Tavistock Street London, WC2E 7PB, United Kingdom

Cafés • Kebab • Greek • Seafood

"I dined at Fishworks on Tuesday and loved it so much that I went back again the following Saturday. I took my motherinlaw who has to be careful with her food as she has a delicate stomach and can only eat carefully prepared food. She tucked into the fish soup and the cod and chips and said afterwards that not only was it very tasty but also that her stomach was very happy! This is now my top choice for restaurant in Covent Garden or indeed all of West End if I fancy fish"

Aubaine High Street Kensington

➤ 37-45 Kensington High Street, London W8 5ED, United Kingdom

Tea • Steak • French • Cheese

"Aubaine is by far the best place for you to catch up over good food, nice service and enjoyable ambience, especially the branch located at High str Kensington. We were welcomed warmly and directed to a seat next to the window paving to the street view. I ordered a croque monsieur which was divine (could've gone for a second one..but calories!! and some tea. The service was impeccable, the clientele posh and the ambience enjoyable. I would recommend this french restaurant for anyone in the neighborhood (even Aubaine in any other part of London . Can't wait to try out some of the other yummy dishes on their menu. Very much recommended!"

The Refuge

➤ Oxford Road, Manchester I-M60 7HA, United Kingdom

British • European • Vegetarian • Contemporary

"Excellent! We spent around four hours here on a Tuesday afternoon sampling their food, savouring their coffee and scabbing their free wifi! I 'll start with the basics. The Refuge is conveniently located on Oxford Street just a two minute walk from the train station. The casual seating area is huge with plenty of places for different sized groups to sit, there 's even an Apprentice Style boardroom table. The vibe is very relaxed but when I entered I noticed a lot of business people (or people clearly working). The decor is fantastic, as mentioned its a huge open space but the dark wooden finish makes it feel close and comfortable. The lunch menu isn 't huge but they clearly want to keep things simple and do them right. I had the beef burger accompanied by skinny fries and it was delicious. Just the right consistency so you could pick it up without it falling apart. It was generously topped with salad and the 'posh big mac ' sauce finished it off nicely. If you want to eat you 'll have to head through to the dining area as they don 't serve food in the lounge beware this was very busy, even on a Tuesday, so you may need to book in advance. After lunch we headed back to the lounge area and had a coffees while we chatted. The coffee was great, I had a flat white which was just off on the good side of bitter. We also ordered snacks later in the day the Almonds cooked in bacon fat are a must try that might sound gross to some people but just wait until the bacon flavour hits your taste buds! To access the free wifi you 'll need to sign up wth your email address but then it 's all yours. I haven 't even received a spammy email a week later. It 's really hard to fault The Refuge the staff were attentive without being too in your face, which I suppose is important when people are using their premises for business meets! All in all a really great experience and a lovely place to spend the afternoon working."

"went to atina after other reviews . my mother took to late lunch and was more than happy. the waiter was a credit for the business and eating enthusiastic my mother and me as a vegan who can often find the menu the same. we shared a tapas of combinations all that were delicious at the side a glass of house wine. beautiful atmosphere, attentive service and tasty eating"

Saporitalia

➤ 222 Portobello Road Notting Hill London, W11 1LJ, United Kingdom

Pizza • Pasta • Indian • Cheese

"Saporitalia is set to be a hit with its large, unpretentious and authentic pizzas Booking a table at the last minute in London is challenging at the best of times. Trying to secure a spot for nine people on a Friday evening at a new and already well-reviewed restaurant on fashionable Portobello Road would seem to be a fool’s errand. You can imagine our surprise, then, that this turned out not to be the case at Saporitalia whose easy-going staff informed us that seating our group that evening would be no problem at all. Although we eventually arrived almost an hour late we were warmly welcomed and waved thorough to our table at the back. Almost as soon as we sat down small plates of...read more"

James St

➤ 21 James St South, Belfast BT2 7GA, United Kingdom

Steak • French • British • Vegetarian

"enjoyed our evening in james st it was the best culinary experience of our trip! we had been happy to see this evening as we had a few hit-N-seals in the course of our trip to belfast. we were not disappointed and had the fabulous evening. we were quickly welcomed and sitting. the place is beautiful and spacious. revitalized and environment. the bar is great and would like to come back, only for drinks at the bar sometime. we ordered cocktails immediately. an Irish gin negroni and a traditional old fashion. my neger was absolutely excellent. I think the old fashion could have been done with real sugar cubes and not sugar syrup, but it wasn't too bad. we were quick to choose our wein. we chose a beautiful juicy red, the cline, the old vine zinfandel, 2019. to begin we had the ham hock terrine with piccalilli champ bread and some scallops with boar bell. the hanging-hock court was the best ham-hock I had. the homemade piccalilli was something else. really nice crispy and sharp sharp to help cut through the hammock and the champbrot was delicious crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. the scallops and black bells were disappointing, as they lacked no salt or genuine aroma or texture between them. we still ate it and shared the rest of my hammock. we both decided to go for the co. tyrone 270g fillet steak with sides of champ and truffle parmesan chips. red wine and pfeffer sauce. they were fantastic steaks. Actually, I didn't think I would finish mine, but I did. I have met the right choice with the jus and the truffle chips. they went so well together, the dryness of the parmesan and sweet, slightly greasy of the jus. the steaks were perfectly cooked. a medium and my medium rare. fantastic aroma on the grilled outside of the steak and beautiful texture when they pierce. we both agreed that the champ was the best champ we ever cost. it was hot, soft, so well aromatized with hot butter on the top of the copper serving pot melt. it was really the most incredible champ. I was too full of dessert. but my sample ordered the sticky toffee pudding sundae. the team was friendly enough to make me an espresso martini that was both decaf and not a sugar syrup. it was brilliant. we both managed to work our way, although a surprisingly light sticky toast desserts on Sunday. the team was fantastic. very friendly and chatting to us. the bar team did not stop, I had the pleasure of standing and watching them make a great selection of drinks and cocktails. the waiting staff were also very friendly when they check in with us at comfortable places to ensure that we were in order. we felt very well looked around. the service was very good, we didn't feel any hurry, it felt like such a free time in this restaurant. when we come back to belfast, we will be back in absolute terms and we will definitely recommend others. Thank you."

Timmy Green

➤ Nova Victoria Buckingham Palace Road London, SW1E 5 DJ, United Kingdom

Beer • Asian • Barbecue • Australian

"Just as the same experience as Scarlett (Soho) over staffed lack of service. The waiter whom served us was very dazed and didn't take attention to what I ordered the other staff were chatting amongst themselves rather than providing our drinks. Than we found out that a dish we ordered wasn't available which wasn't even stated til all food got served."

Clarke's

➤ 124 Kensington Church Street London, W8 4BH, United Kingdom

Fish • Pasta • Mediterranean • Modern Cuisine

"After my first visit in late summer (meeting a NZ friend I had not seen for 7 years because of covid which made the meal even more memorable. I booked for my wedding anniversary and we had such delicious food the kind of food that makes you smile in fact the best food we’ve ever eaten at a restaurant. Delicious, fresh… the kind of food that is enjoyable to eat. And friendly attentive staff we loved our wine, champagne and coffee so much that we went over the road and bought it (along with mince pies, chocolate etc etc in the shop. A special place for special occasions"

Damascena

➤ 133 Alcester Rd, Birmingham, B138JP, United Kingdom

Delis • Coffee • Arabian • Breakfast

"I love everything about Damascena. The food is amazing and vegan options are clearly labeled which makes the whole visit so easy. The staff are very friendly and are always happy to help when ordering and have often recommended various dishes for me to try. Personal favourites are the falafel wrap and batata harra. They also have an amazing range of vegan desserts. I highly recommend their stupidly rich vegan chocolate brownie. I have to highlight their vegan baklava. This stuff is a work of art. I haven't had Baklava from many other places, so maybe I'm a bit biased, but I don't feel like I want it from anywhere else. The music is also very authentic and the staff was really helpful in showing me what artists and playlists they had and helped me find them on Spotify so I could take a piece of Damascena's warm and cozy environment away with me."

Parsonage Grill

➤ 1 Banbury Road Oxford, Oxfordshire OX2 6NN, United Kingdom

Fish • Coffee • British • Cocktail

"Amazing place. I was so impressed. The menu is creative without being fussy or simply to be different. There are extraordinary vegetarian and also vegan options..and these dont even stand out in looking at menu as being “different”. Had the celeriac… who would have thought it would be the perfectly delicious main for the plate! It was! Service was great. I had mentioned in reservation that my friend was celebrating birthday and a plate with delectable small tea cakes arrivec with Happy Birthday in chocolate.. I’m from US so cant make it a regular place to dine, but would otherwise"

Creams Cafe

➤ The Quays Dock Head Road, ME4 4, Chatham, United Kingdom

British • Desserts • Fast Food • Vegetarian

"There is ample indoor and outdoor seating available at this restaurant situated at Chatham dockside, offering a delightful view of the docks. I opted for a milkshake made with soya milk and chocolate sorbet, which was delicious and not too sugary. I would have liked it to be slightly thicker and made with vegan ice cream. I am looking forward to trying one of the desserts from their new vegan menu on my next visit."
