Nandos chicken restaurant

April 30, 2008

The famous Nandos sauce now has chicken-only restaurants.
I have to say this – it’s the tastiest chicken anywhere.  BUT you only get chicken legs/wings and no breast.
I went for the £15.95 full chicken with fries.  I have to say I could have eaten a 2nd chicken no problem.  Their fries are great, coleslaw a good [...]

Cafe Andaluz, Glasgow

March 19, 2008

Great tapas at Cafe Anadaluz is assured.  Glad they’ve now breaded/battered the calamari.

Service is generally quite fast, a very good restaurant which caters well when parties do not know where to [...]

High ceilings, spacious open plan eating and fast service are the order of the day.
Although the standard is good, not all things are perfect.  I find the chicken fajita very very salty so would avoid.
On the other hand, Beef chimichanga is excellent as are the nachos with cheese.
Only one [...]

Le Palais Du Jardin, Covent Garden. Review

June 12, 2007

Le Palais Du Jardin was discovered purely by accident for lunch one day when shopping in Covent Garden, London.
The restaurant is split into two, a lavish bar area and a very Michelin-style seating area.  Far smarter than many restaurants I have been to.
The service is fantastic – if you want a drink, you just catch [...]
