I ate at taco bell on friday! (Havent eatan there in years)

I had 3 yummy tacos with a large pepsi :)

I like the MILD sauce... Anything hotter is too much for me.. In the 80s thier sauces werent as bad as I could stand HOT but now that is too much...

I always get EXTRA MEAT in them :)

Local Hungry Horse, earlier this evening.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Went to two cracking restaurants this month, lion inn near Chelmsford and fennix near brentwood which is really expensive if you go in the evenings and full of reality tv berks but it's very reasonable if you go for the lunchtime menu and berk free too

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

La Fiorentina & Eala Bhan (Glasgow, last Tuesday & Wednesday), Red Pepper (Otley) last night, and going to Vice & Virtue in Leeds this Wednesday.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

I went to the local Toby with the Harlow Community Men's Shed charity I'm involved with for our Christmas dinner back in December

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

We enjoy La Fiorentina.

Was in COSMO buffet in Edinburgh last night with 15 mates for a night out.

Also dude can Taco Bell be class as a restaurant? :D

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Dancing Dragon near Oxford. Really good with some more authentic dishes and big portions.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Milliways.

Which reminds me, I must remember to book and pay for it.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

You just need to open a bank account and put a penny in it.


But of course this is impossible.:D

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Earlier this week, a place called Rock Salt that does Seafood.


Yesterday Morning: WetherSpoons big breakfast.
You really can't go wrong, less than a fiver for a full English breakfast. Got my Sunday off to a good start.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Hooters in Nottingham yesterday afternoon/evening for post match beer shrimp and ribs.

Great food and very attentive staff.
;)

On tuesday I ate at Golden Carrol :)

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Never been in there but passed it when I went to the Ice Rink last week.


Is it worth going?

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

the 13th December was my birthday and I was with my sisters family in Nuremberg.


We booked a table the day before in a place called Peter Pane, it was obviously a Peter Pan themed restaurant, it was very busy and got to our table 1/2 late.


I drank 4 cocktails at €10s each, and the manager gave us a free shot.


If you are ever in Nuremberg I highly recommend it.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Sounds like a bit of a trial if you ask me …

Las Iguanas
Tapas the other day, was good but the menu was tiny

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Love a bit of dark humour, not everyone gets it though, like Wikipedia who until recently had War Crimes this list is incomplete, you can help by adding to it :erm:

Going to try the fayre at the local dog racing track in an hour or two, not expecting much more than chicken in a basket but who doesn't like that :)

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

A few in Brighton...

Aydo on the marina. The restaurant is a picture for sore eyes, really nice but the menu is overpriced and the stereo music cannot be turned down. There is however live music entertainment.

Kambies near town. A bit of a tight squeeze, I can't get my head around some restaurants size and capacity, to me it doesn't add up but dine in we did. Menus priced fairly, some a little too cheap to be honest.

Another place I cannot remember the name of, it was in Hove I know that much. Eye watering pricing but the table service was top class. I happily sat there with no care in the world. I'll try remember next time I'm in Brighton and update here accordingly.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Just been to Vice & Virtue in Leeds (Chef Jono was a MasterChef Professionals finalist in 2020) - the Signature Tasting Menu was outstanding.

Chickpea, Harissa, Gunpowder tart
Malt Loaf & Salted Butter
Ramen Broth with Hens Egg, Sweetcorn, Furikake
Sea Bass Tartare with Kimchi, Radish, Apple
"Not French Onion Soup" (layer of risotto, layer of crispy onion, topped with a parmesan espuma)
"Fish & Chips" with Gherkin, Peas, Curry Sauce
Steak & Ale, with Guiness, Lovage, Truffle
Mango, Coconut, Lime pudding
Mushroom Tiramisu
Petit Four

Would recommend.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Mushroom Tiramisu :erm:

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Don't know if anyone has tried Koh Thai in Port Solent?
They also have restaurants in SOuthSea, Bournomuth, and Lillput.
Great Thai flavours.


Also, I love Turtle Bay. They often have offers on and if you download the app you get free voucher on your birthday.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

A small menu isn't a bad thing. I more suspect of huge menus you know can't really be handled well, lots of repeats with minor changes. Some of the best meals I've had have been in small French cafes with 2-3 options on each course.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Indeed. Do a few items really well rather than lots of items that are average. Wouldn't all be cooked and made fresh either.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Morrisons café Big Breakfast. They still insist on putting the beans in a small pot.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

I prefer that (and do so if I put beans or mushy peas on family dinner plates at home). They stay hot for longer.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Had a lovely lunch with my brother, aunt and uncle in Piccolino E Vino, Newton Mearns this afternoon. Gorgeous Italian food. Their main restaurant is La Vita in George Square Glasgow. Also fantastic and where me and the wife had our first date 16 years ago.

I went to taco bell on Friday :)

Then later in the evening I stopped back and had 3 more tacos!! (I could only go thru the drive in then as the lobby closes at 22:00)

I went to Golden Carrol on Tuesday :)

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Is that somewhere in the U.S. Dude11?
What sort of food do they do?

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

According to Google
So make of that what you will.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

They don't faff about with tweezers :)

Thank you Stevie!!

Yes they are a buffet and probably the BEST one still open! (I also like Dragon Buffet (Chinese))

I went to Pizza hut today and was disgusted.....

The mac salad I have loved for 30+ years there has been changed to garbage!! (I hadnt been there for about a month)

I dunno if they changed the mayonnaise or what but its aweful.....I left comments!! (Its sweeter and disgusting)

Thats my last time going there!!

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Have a real salad then. Don't go to a fast food joint expecting good salad or even good food.

Ya Maybe your right!!

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

I am definitely right.

Whats your favourite Salad Stevie??

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

You do realise he's from Glasgow, don't be surprised if the answer is tomato ketchup :)

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Deep fried lettuce…

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

I might be from Glasgow but I'm very healthy and don't touch junk food:angel: I'm also only 68kg.


My health for years has meant cutting lots of things out and now I've had a Kideny and pancreas transplant I eat very healthy consciously. Even recently joining Scotland's transplant football team to keep my fitness and health up.

I ate at golden carrol friday and had yummy Cabbage salad!!!!!

It was just about as good as I remember it from middle school in the 80s :)

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

The Stable - pizza and cider. Great food and super service.

I went to the Carrol today :)

I had 2 plates.. One of them was filled with Cabbage salad!!

The other had green beans and some texas toast.......

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

In Brighton today....

Subway for lunch, a footlong a garlic cheese steak, sweet corn, red onions, peppers. I brought half of it home. I'll have it tomorrow for lunch.

Kambis for dinner. Starter hummus, thin flat bread, olives, main I had a sultani (lamb fillet and kofta) with chips and house salad. For desert persian tea and baklava. Pricing is sensible in there. Highly recommended. It's a Lebanese restaurant. Lovely.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Me and the wife went for dinner (it was her birthday), to St Luke's and the winged Ox in Glasgow's Gallowgate. It's a former church with the main building used for gigs and weddings etc.

Food is always outstanding. I had slow roasted pork belly smothered in Jack Daniels sauce and fries. She had Fish and Chips.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Gifto in Southall, London. I ordered a mixed grill expecting great things but it was over powering with cumin. I then ordered a lamb bhuna to make up for the mixed grill and a pakora basket. It was ok. Pricing a little over the average but all in all ok not great but hey ho you win some you lose some.

I ate at Golden Carrol on Tuesday :)

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

I would like to say Milliways.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Colquhoun's, right on the bank of Loch Lomond (Luss). Amazing food and comes with the most amazing views. Was quite an experience.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

De Baga in Headingley last night.

I had Chingaari Kebab (Red hot flame coloured kebabs special in lucknowi style Lamb mince, crushed pepper, corn tossed bell peppers, whole spice, served with lightly spiced cheese sauce) for starters, followed by NH66 Mutton Curry (National Highway 66, commonly referred to as NH66 connects people along western coast of India, parallel to Western Ghats. Inspired by the “Dhabas” on NH66, slow cooked wholesome mutton drizzled with robust sauce), with a Roasted Garlic Cheese Naan.

Washed down by a couple of pints of Bombay IPA.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Local pub for Mothers Day - four generations in total, for roast sunday lunch.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

MyThai in Leeds for a late lunch this afternoon.

On Friday I ate at the Carrol :)

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Zizzi Mushroom Risotto with garlic bread last night.

Yesterday I ate at the Carrol :)

Yes I eat there alot.............

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Do you actually eat anywhere else? That can't be healthy.

Not anymore buddy..... I used to eat out EVERY NIGHT but I got tired of the bland taste so I stopped.

I like Burger King and Taco Bell alot also........

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

All of that is processed fried fast food.
You can eat whatever you want but it cant be that great for you.

Sticks and Sushi on the south bank, London.


Great Sushi before a gig at the Royal Festival Hall.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Ventured into Essex last week at a place called Aroma, all you can eat lunch time buffet, it was okay and exactly what it said on the tin.

I've also spent the weekend at Potters in Hopton, food is not what it was but it's still very good plus I managed the full four courses at lunch and dinner every day, missed all but one breakfast and supper in my defence though.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Uncle Sam's. They seem populated down south. I had a double cheeseburger meal with a strawberry milkshake and some onions rings. A little pricey but delicious smelling food.

https://www.unclesams.co.uk/

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Burger king. A chicken royale meal is now £10. Extras like cheese and milkshake are more. I think it all came to 13/14£ :shocked: you should get two meals for that price. Crazy.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Le Jardin de Rome, 8th arrondissement, Paris - Ribeye on the bone with chips, two 50cl glasses of Leffe Blonde, sat outside - it was pretty good.

I ate at GC on tuesday :)

I bet the food in UK BKs is still excellent isnt it?

I used to love Whoppers in the 80s..... Now they are so thin and bland its not very pleasing :(

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

I use to get them frequently when working in town. I don't know, it didn't hit the sweet spot like it use to near 20 years ago. May be I've grown out of them.

The milkshake tasted like uncle sam's. McDonald's has it's own distinctive taste. I don't like McDonald's fries like I use to.

Do taste buds change over time?

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

McDonalds fries have really got terrible now. They are always dry now. Just don't hit the same.

Not had a BK in years.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Piccolo Pizza Restaurant Brighton. I got a chicken pizza. My aunt got a pepperoni pizza. I thought let's try the meatball pasta, it sucked! I found that hard to believe but it did. Anyway the pizza was fine. Thin base loads of toppings. I was craving stuffed crust but the garlic dip made up for it. It was ok. Pricing, £10 a pizza, £6 meatball pasta.

I ate at Pizza Hut on Friday. I wasnt happy as the mac salad was changed after 20yrs!
 

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Went to emba* (Mustard Wharf Lockside, Leeds) for lunch with SWMBO - it used to the The Owl (still run by Liz Cottam, who was in 2016 Masterchef).

We shared a couple of plates for starters - fire toasted bread with freshly churned butter, olives, chorizo, and fennel sausage, then for mains I had rack of lamb, potato aioli, red walnut pesto, and mint purée, SWMBO had pork schnitzel with potato purée and mushroom & red wine sauce, and we shared crispy butter fried potatoes with aioli and an absolutely outstanding asparagus & crushed pea salad with dashi and Parmesan shavings.

For dessert we had a milk ‘bomb’ (Dulce de Leche, lemon, & fennel) with toasted crushed hazelnuts, and spiced apple pastry with vanilla cream.

Absolutely delicious meal, and we were served by Liz, who explained the ingredients of each course and how it had been prepared and cooked - really added to the enjoyment of the meal.

*just opened today.

Wow Just opened??

Sounds like they will be a hit Hugh!!


Im glad it was g00d!

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Turtle Bay. Love the flavours!

I ate at Wendys on Tuesday :)

I last ate at Mcdonalds and had 3 yummy cheeseburgers with Extra onions and a large Coke...

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

That's the first time I've seen you type something different than chocolate milk unless you were snorting it....

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Do you only ever eat junk food and have chocolate milk? Not a healthy way to live at all.

Re: Whats the last restaurant you dined at?
 

Would explain a lot :)
