"On Friday evening my son and I were late out of Belfast and decided that we would get something to eat before heading on out home. We were travelling up the Malone Road when I remember the Malone lodge had a great restaurant, so we turned left into Eglantine Avenue and parked up. If you’ve never been in the Malone Lodge its fabulous. The setting is luxurious and lavish. There is a spacious reception area with plenty of seating. It really is a great spot to meet a friend for coffee or have an informal business meeting. On the left on the way in is also an in-house bar again with plenty of room. The Malone Lodge can also cater for conferences or weddings with plenty of function rooms and a wonderful hospitality team who will make your event flow seamlessly. Talking of their team Susie and Fisel were wonderfully attentive and friendly, we both enjoyed the evening and they had a lot to do with that. The menu looked tasty to say the least. They have a great offer on, two courses for under twenty pounds and three courses for under twenty-five. Considering the environment you are eating in and the standard of their food, it makes it a great choice, especially as it’s a fifteen-minute stroll into town which helps burn the calories off. We started the dinner off with scallops and goat’s cheese. Benjamin had the seared scallops, black pudding, carrot puree and watercress. It was a few years back when he tasted scallops for the first time off my plate at another restaurant. They had become a firm favourite of his now and he says that they always remind him of me. I don’t know what to make of that. He thoroughly enjoyed them. I tasted one just to be nosey and see how they performed. Textbook, great cooking and seasoning. I have noticed the flooding of salad, beetroot, walnuts and goat’s cheese into the menus around Belfast in recent times. Don’t get me wrong I like this classic combination. But I also find it is the perfect barometer to see how good a kitchen is. With a dish this simple, if they get this wrong, I don’t think there is much hope for the rest of the menu. This version was full of surprises and set me up for the rest of the meal. I decided to go for the salmon main. I think it was the inclusion of cockles that decided it for me. It has been ages since I have had them and was so looking forward to having them again. Crushed potatoes and a beautifully light persillade sauce accompanied the seafood duet. The salmon was ‘on fleek’ as my daughters would say. It is so refreshing to have in mind what a dish should be and have the chef produce the dish in a way that brings the anticipated to the plate. And those pickled cockles were the exclamation point on the dish. Predictably Benjamin went for steak. A 10oz sirloin, chunky chips, green peppercorn sauce and a tomato compote. It looked spectacular. I stole a chip as they were set down. Wow. I do love my chips a these were regal. The steak was ordered medium and that’s what he got. It just looked wonderful. If mine wasn’t so good I would have been so jealous. The portion size on this was huge, the steak was probably more like 12-14oz. Great value for money. The size of the steak did work in my favour as Benjamin was stuffed and didn’t want any dessert. But as for me, there is always room for dessert. So a sticky toffee pudding was sent for and delivered with all that and more. The orange toffee sauce was ‘stonking’ what a great idea. The sauce coated the pudding like a silk glove and the vanilla ice cream killed me. So opulent and rich in flavour, I immediately thought about booking a room for the night to sleep it off. If you haven’t been here for a meal, then please make room for a night out here. It is a fantastic venue with great staff and food. As I have also stayed over here before, I also would recommend the rooms, luxury is the term that springs to mind. I’m so glad I remembered The Malone Lodge and so will you."

"Ooh a new restaurant in Putney! I haven't heard of Bill's before I try not to hate on chains and always willing to give it a try. I came here for dinner last night. The decor probably looks the same everywhere but it is kind of cute in a quirky way. It feels like a bit of a maze but also kinda hides the amount of space it has. Luckily we booked a reservation for dinner as the couple ahead of me would have to wait about 30 minutes. My friend and I ordered a bottle of the Rose fizz. It was nice to have strawberries wedged into the side of the glass and have a huge tin as a chiller. I likey. I ordered the chicken skewers with a side of sweet potato fries. The chicken was deliciously cooked and seasoned and really liked the tzaziki dip. The pita was a bit tough but didn't really have much of that. I really liked the sweet potato fries. This is exactly how I like it. I usually don't order dessert but feel that I've been working out pretty hard and the warm mini doughnuts just had to be done. It comes with a side of melted dark chocolate and fresh strawberries. Dangerous... I might have to come here once a week for this. They came out freshly fried and the chocolate was oozing with goodness. Semi sweet so I would cut my doughnut in half and slather the chocolate around it. Only 2 small strawberries to dip into the chocolate but none the less really enjoyed it. The service was really good. Attentive and not too stuffy. I'll definitely be coming back regularly."

"this is a review of the new filiale in kings cross, which is not yet available in the zomato database. decent levantine eat, but not as good as my greedy, but cheaper favorite mangal1 in dalston for charcoal grilled dishes. they pay for chic environment here. in contrast to mangal1 arabica would be a suitable place to bring a date. mezzes not as inventive as some pricier other favorites like morito in clerkenwell or tuyo in hackney. what they do well at arabica is classic middle-east convenience food that I rarely see on menus. I love that she batata harra and mejadra (spels here as mujadarah.) another thing that they do very well is efficiency. the high amount of staff in the open kitchen and in the kitchen arrives very quickly. we started with the moutabel, which was pleasant but not as good as the cheaper patlacan salata at mangal1. the smoked aubergine lacked a pronounced carbon taste. I also had the same complaint for the grilled meat dishes. Although I could see the charcoal grill and open fire in the kitchen, I couldn't really recognize him in my eating. moutabel was served with some exceptional flat broths. extremely thin and delicate the green shhug soon came after. not as beaten and bright as my favorite train at the good egg in stoke newington. both strong comfort foods were excellent. the lenses in the mujardarah were beautifully spiced and the crispy paper thin triangle of fried wobbles was beautiful. also batata harra (fried potatoes) were fabulous. very crisp, so likely fried in quite a lot of oil and pronounced aromas of seasoned and garlic as well as fresh coriander. our grills of chicken wings and cattle villains were somewhat disappointing. beef was tender and very medium-sized, but somewhat underheated and lacked in speculative. accompanying brat tweezers in a sweet date sauce but was very nice. wings had a slight smoke. well made fat, but also under seasoned for my taste. they came with a rather refined tonum or garlic sauce. it doesn't matter to me that my gum is aggressiw garlicky, but if they prefer a mild nuanced toum, they will like that. we were too full of desserts, although the desserts looked great. they had no problems with providing a takeaway box for unfinished food. I would recommend arabica especially for beautifully executed traditional strength comfort food in conjunction with home cooking and street food that do not appear regularly on restaurant menus. the grill area of the menu is more diverse than most of the Central Eastern restaurants that are not limited to lamb and hawn. also they are good when they prefer to be refined and refined medium-east sauces such as toum and zhoug. I didn't try her harissa, but I expect that was the same story. for wood charcoal grilled meat and aubergine is my favorite London address still mangal1. for creative mezzen I prefer morito and tuyo."
