Malvarosa

➤ 262 Portobello High St, Edinburgh, EH152AT, EH15 2AT, United Kingdom

Tapas • Spanish • Ice Cream • Chocolate

"Malvarosa is a relatively new challenger to the Portobello High Street. It brings tapas much closer to my house, and for that I thank Malvarosa. And indeed, I thank and praise it highly, for not only does it bring tapas closer, but it brings gooood tapas closer. The service last night was excellent, great banter with the guy front of house (Vegetarian? What kind of monster are you? I think in Spain, I might be burned as a witch (I jest, I jest . You are made to feel welcome, and not rushed, even when the restaurant were heaving, we were one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave, supping on tasty sangria and enjoying a good catchup. To the food the menu is quite small, but not in a bad way just don't go in expecting a book of tapas. Malvarosa keeps it succinct but there is still a good amount of choice across meat, fish and vegetable spectrums. Patata bravas good, smoky paprika flavour with a good kick, although could do with a bit more of a hit of the sauce on the potatoes. A warm ensalada of broad beans, artichoke and spinach was delicious (also available with meat, the Spanish vegetarian option, hur hur hur . I'm still enjoying the thought of chickpeas, spinach and sultanas a tagine y style tapas which I couldn't get enough of. I could go on I'll admit, I forgot to ask my dinner date how the meat dishes were so I can't comment on those. I was too busy enjoying mine to think of anything else. For dessert, we tucked into chocolate cake (super rich, bit too heavy for me, with a stomach already groaning from our mains and flan (I got the last one hurrah! flan had a bit of an odd texture, so a little less enjoyable than I had hoped for. Overall, Malvarosa is a lovely place to spend an evening catching up with good friends. No rush, no stress, just good food and good times."

Primitivo Bar & Eatery

➤ 10-12 Barwick Street Birmingham, West Midlands B3 2NT, B3 2NR, United Kingdom

Fish • Pasta • Coffee • British

"Primitivo Bar Eatery in Birmingham’s Colmore Business District celebrate their Anniversary this week. Coincidentally, its also me and my wife's Anniversary this week. So where better to enjoy lunch in the sun. The weather was incredible, a pavement table was available and...Rishi Sunak was footing of the bill up to a maximum of per person. If there was a fruit machine in the bar, it would be the equivalent of scoring three big ticks followed by an endless waterfall of coins. Primitivo reopened two weeks ago with a full array of safety precautions; foot operated sanitizers, protective screens, a one way system and a food menu allowing reduced numbers of staff in the kitchen. There’s even single visitor loos on hand so no more taking your friend with you. There’s even a new South American beer, Modelo for those who want to avoid the C word. I opted for Sparkling Water, with temperatures north of degrees centigrade, it went down like Champagne. I was in a Glasgow Wetherspoons last week and ordered Haddock and Chips. I’m not saying it was intimidating but even the fish ran out. Back in Brum, Primitivo are thankfully more on the ball with stock levels. Despite half a century and at least hours of unwrapping fish and chips, I can’t claim to be an expert but this was, as my daughter would say, ‘fire.’ For readers above the age of the Haddock and Chips; beer battered haddock, hand cut chips, mushy peas and tart sauce is a very good thing. Anji chose the Thai Fishcake; delicately spiced with chilli and lime, fresh spring onion salad and sweet chilli dressing with a side of Fries (V) She kindly offered me some and it was awesome. The kitchen boasts local gastronomic heritage, Chef Murray is non other than local legend Paul Fulford’s son. It’s like going to Guitar Guitar on Hagley Road and buying a Fender from Eric Clapton’s kid. Both meals, a side and soft drinks allowed us to take full advantage of Rishi’s Eat Out to Help Out cap of per person. Eat Out to Help Out runs until the end of August. It’s good to see Government use Nudge Economics to encourage those who can, venture out and support the hospitality industry. VAT has also been temporarily reduced from to We learned this morning we are officially in recession. Supporting local independent businesses is the fast track to get our region back into the fast lane. The money spent in venues such as Primitivo fund the wages of it’s staff and are reinvested locally. Thank you to all the team for a fabulous experience. Congratulations Prit on your Anniversary."

Viva Ristorante

➤ 77 Bothwell St, Glasgow, G26TS, G2 7HX, United Kingdom

Meat • Pasta • Cheese • Italian

"After Italmania on Union Street shut down a few years ago I struggled to find an Italian in Glasgow that done a really good carbonara. The carbonara here is delicious. I would recommend the rose wine on the wine list, it's odd but worth it, I would also reccomend the garlic bread with cheese, the bread is more like pan bread and not the usual garlic baggette you get elsewhere. The staff are great, the food is amazing. I used to go here every Friday for lunch (before I bought a house and became permanently skint) and would always get half pizza half pasta with a friend which was always amazing. They also do a thing called Viva Gold, if you say this when booking and it's within the set timescales of the deal you can get between off the food bill depending on the day. Check their website for times before booking."

Zizzi

➤ 31 Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow, Exeter, G13AJ, United Kingdom

Bars • Pizza • Pasta • Italian

"We welcomed our daughters boyfriend’s parents to Glasgow and decided to go to Kong however the bouncer had other ideas and wouldn’t let his father in saying he was ‘too drunk’. What he was really saying was you’re too old and not influential enough to allow entry apologies for not being handsome enough for this establishment."

Belgo Holborn

➤ 67 Kingsway London, WC2B 6TD, WC2A 3LJ, United Kingdom

Bars • Steak • Belgian • Italian

"fish and chip Friday for fritte’s and voul au vents. on Friday in holborn, good atmosphere, tasty eating and over 52 beers choose. my favorite is the strawberry fruit beer and the Kriek-Kirschenbier. as veggie and since this restaurant specializes in moule and rotisserie huhn I was not quite sure what to expect, but the veggie option of leek courgette and pak choi voul au vents in a blue cheese sauce with a side of double boiled chips was really delicious and definitiw different. my dinning kumpel had a red pfeffer and tomato half redisserie huhn, which he quoted was the best he had in london. the portions are massive, so the desert had to skip, but the desert menu looked incredible, from chocolate fountain with salted caramel ice and bacon cheesecake will get a visit in belgo again only desert to get good service tasting something else deffo a visit worth 8/10"

The Fishes

➤ North Hinksey Village Oxford, Oxfordshire OX2 0NA, United Kingdom

Kebab • Cafés • Seafood • European

"We booked a family lunch to get together, we don't live locally but we have hired the tepee a few years ago for a party. We knew the venue would be perfect for a sunny day and it was; However the food really wasn't good , the lamb was tough and many aspects of the two courses we all ordered tasted synthetic (shop bought and not tasty) we all love cauliflower cheese and this just wasn't cheesy?? Ordinarily we are not fussy but this was a Sunday Roast? not good value as we left a great deal. The staff were gracious and the price of one bottle of wine was taken from the bill. Sadly we won't rush back to eat here."

Tandoori Cottage Bishops Stortford

➤ 7 North Gate End, London, CM232ET, United Kingdom

Asian • Balti • Indian • Chicken

"We decided to go out for an impromptu night after work and were blown away by the food! Although it's a small restaurant, it serves Indian cuisine that's far superior to any place I've visited in the city before. The dishes were exceptionally well-prepared. However, I found the older gentleman’s demeanor to be somewhat rude and abrupt, lacking in customer service. On the plus side, the prices were very reasonable, and we left feeling full, happy, and eager to return! The chicken turf and lamb bhuna were probably the best I've ever had, and the aloo was bursting with flavor! I’m looking forward to coming back in the new year! Thank you, Georg."

Wheelwrights Arms

➤ The Wheelwright's Arms Church Lane Bath, Somerset BA2 7HB, BA2 7JD, United Kingdom

Pubs • Fish • Cafés • English

"It was the most shocking and unpleasant experience I have ever had in years, let alone in a restaurant. The landlord was a bully to me and displayed a horrendous amount of aggression towards me when I sent my steak back because it was dry. The waitress was in tears because he behaved in such a disgusting manner. He insulted me over and over said he would call the police if I didn’t pay for the steak. My husband stepped in and he remained deeply unpleasant and child like. My husband and I were in such shock over his nastiness that we wrote it off to the fact that he’s just a deeply unhappy individual and he just wanted to vent on someone. What a terrible experience and the food wasn’t great either."

Tharavadu

➤ 7-8 Mill Hill, Leeds LS1 5DQ, United Kingdom

Cafés • Sushi • Asiatic • Seafood

"They have recently changed their menu meaning items on the menu are not marked as gluten free. I visited in August 2023. I spoke to staff and one said they could do certain dishes gluten-free and no cross-contamination, another said it would be gluten-free but have some gluten in it (figure that one out! . I decided to trust the first member of staff. The food was okay but not as good as it was years back. Given the lack of staff knowledge and average food I won't be returning."

"We visited here on the first Monday they were able to open following Lockdown.All safety precautions were in place with clear instructions visible.

The Royal Oak - Yattendon

➤ The Square Yattendon, Berkshire RG18 0UF, RG18 0TN, Thatcham, United Kingdom

Beer • Hotels • Coffee • English

"The perfect stopover! I commute across the M4 frequently, and was forever fed up with the noisy services at Membury and Chieveley. Just 5-8 minutes from Junction 13, I can guarantee it's an infinitely, nicer, quieter and more tasty stopover! The staff are absolutely delightful, (as well as being situated in the beautiful village of Yattendon, if you fancy a walk around), deliciously well made coffee, cakes, sandwiches and cooked breakfasts, and plenty of easy parking. It's also dog friendly, vegan and gluten free friendly, and provides all alternative milks. Highly recommend!!!"

"Ate there last night for the first time (we're from Bournemouth and would happily drive all the way back for another meal. Butter chicken made specially for me was delicious, husband's curry was beautiful melt in the mouth and everyone in our party was happy. Staff were lovely, helpful and polite. Best Indian restaurant I've ever been to! :"

Gourmet Burger Kitchen

➤ 7 Lendal, York, YO18AQ, YO1 8AQ, United Kingdom

Kebab • Mexican • Burgers • European

"Gourmet Burger Kitchen (or GBK to those in the know is a relatively new addition to York’s eateries, having sprung up on Lendal about a year ago. As such it’s still very smart and shiny inside, with lots of glass and nice-looking wood poshing' up the interior enough to signify that this is NOT a fast food restaurant. No bright plastics used here! (I must confess to a nasty habit of forgetfully calling it ‘Gourmet Burger King’!)GBK specialises in top quality burgers and what a choice! There are about ten different choices of beef burger, four chicken, five vegetarian and five extra-special specials (buffalo or wild boar burger anyone? Everything is extremely tasty, but having worked my way through a fair bit of the menu I have settled on the rather “old school” favourite of the cheeseburger! Burgers are all under a tenner, but you do have to get fries and sides separately. An average meal with wine would be but you can reduce that enormously by laying your hands on a for voucher (available on the internet at the moment).Would definitely recommend GBK for a quick bite at the start of your evening, as the quality of burger will not be found elsewhere in York. However, it’s not a great venue for a leisurely meal with friends, as they don’t seem to expect you to want to take your time over things. My friend and I enjoyed burgers and bottle of wine while diners around us came and went; we ended up sitting in a deserted restaurant being hoovered around and cash very noisily being counted up … and it was only"

Byron

➤ 113-117 Lothian Road,, Edinburgh, EH39AN, EH3 9AN, United Kingdom

Food • Burgers • American • Hamburger

"I went to Byron with 4 of my work colleagues on their 25p burger special opening offer day. The queue was down the street as you would imagine, but it moved quickly and we were in and seated in no time. We were in one of the big booth seats by the window (which are perfect for people watching) The staff were friendly and super knowledgeable which was great as I ask a lot of questions. So I'm vegetarian and am so pleased that here they have separate fryers for their chips and courgette chips than their meat products (I'm amazed at how this still happens elsewhere) They were also clued up with veggie friendly cheeses and don't use Parmesan in their veggie dishes (it's not veggie) The open kitchen is a nice touch, I like seeing how the kitchen works. My Portobello mushroom burger with goats cheese, red peppers and spinach was super tasty, as we're the courgette chips. I very much enjoyed my lunch and would come back here again. I find it a little strange when you buy your burger then the chips are extra, I'd rather it was standard and you upgraded to sweet potato chips or courgette chips if you wanted to. Nice industrial decor. Worth a visit"

Ice & Slice

➤ 24 Jerdan Place, London, SW61BH, SW6 1BE, United Kingdom

Pizza • Coffee • Cheese • Italian

"my wife and I have immersed here a Friday night on a weekend trip to london (they have not closed until for example so it is handy for a sweet tasty after restaurant food) and we loved the gelato so much that we were there on Saturday, Sunday and even Monday before we went home. the service was great every time (we were personally greeted by the man with the glasses until Monday, who recognized us from previous days). two creatures in a waffel cone is only and completely delicious. my favorite combo was a creature dark chocolate with a creature salted caramel, but they have loads to choose from. it is really authentic melt-in-the-mound soft-lato, so it is fast to eat, and it is ssooo good that we soon return to london, only so we can have more."

The Bustard Inn

➤ 44 Main Street South Rauceby Spalding, Lincolnshire NG34 8QG, North Kesteven, United Kingdom

Pizza • Mexican • European • Fast Food

"Very good dining, exceptional service. Above all a really nice blend of smart dining but in a really relaxed setting. They’ve achieved a really good balance between making a visit feel special but without making it too formal, i.e: you’re very much able to relax...but it’s still a restaurant worth visiting. I’m lucky as it’s local, but if I wasn’t, I’d happily travel an hour to get to The Bustard Inn; it’s worth it. Place looks nice, proper country pub restaurant, food is stunningly presented. We had three courses, each and every one elicited an ‘oooh’ when it was put in front of us. Didn’t just look nice, everything was delicious too, cooked just right, good judgement of how many flavours and which ones would work well together. Definitely an experience worth recommending, when friends come to visit from outside the area it’ll be our ‘go to’ place when we want to impress a bit but more importantly have a lovely night."

Pheasant

➤ Loop Road Keyston, Cambridgeshire PE28 0RE, Huntingdonshire, United Kingdom

Tea • Beer • Wine • Hotels

"It's been a few years since we last visited The Pheasant, but we were pleased to find that it didn't disappoint. The food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the ambiance both indoors and outdoors was beautiful. It was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding party."

Upstairs at the Grill

➤ 70 Watergate Street Chester, Cheshire CH1 2LA, CH1 2LB, United Kingdom

Pizza • Cafés • Mexican • Fast Food

"The entire meal was an exceptional experience, started with sitting at the bar and enjoying one of their great selection of in house cocktails I’ve never been to a restaurant where staff have gone through the menu step by step even coming out with a board of cuts to show the quality of their produce we really appreciated it Lewis (sorry if I’ve butchered that). We went here for an anniversary meal so when getting to our table we’re greeted with a lovely card congratulating us which again was a first. The food was excellent, great selection of steaks and sides, I would say that if you’re going as a pair then 3 sides is likely enough to share between you. At the end of our meal we were brought complementary ice cream cones which was a welcome surprise. Service couldn’t have been improved, all staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend this to anyone, many thanks to the staff for a great night, looking forward to our next visit!"

Beirut Nights

➤ 19 Abbey Road London, NW10 7RB, NW10 7SA, United Kingdom

Tea • Chicken • Lebanese • Desserts

"Booked Beirut Nights on the recommendation of a friend for my and couldn't have been happier. From the moment we arrived we were treated as special guests, given a better table, kept entertained and served with the best Strawberry Mojitos you will taste! They allowed us to have our own cake which they kindly served for us in the Shisha lounge area once we were done eating, complete with a sparkling candle and full Happy Birthday... we stayed well over hours at the restaurant/lounge and could have stayed longer. We were never made to feel like they were waiting for us to leave. I would recommend Beirut Nights for a quiet Shisha and drinks on a weekend or indeed for a birthday party with a huge group its such a versatile venue!"

Bentley's

➤ 11-15 Swallow Street London, W1B 4DG, W1B 4EZ, United Kingdom

Seafood • British • European • Vegetarian

"We have always loved coming here and it was always excellent however on Friday it was most disappointing. My husband ordered a whole Turbot which looked fabulous although arrived suspiciously quickly. He always de bones fish himself as he knows how to do so professionally and it became quickly obvious that the fish was not cooked through. It was sent back twice but still was not properly done. Our waiter was delightful and extremely helpful and professional however his manager was definitely not. He considered it wise to condescend to my husband that he would take the bone off for him and that was when things went downhill. Rude. Sad end to what had started as a lovely evening."
