Question Favourite Restaurant?

[ian_the_girth]

id much rather go to an independent restaurant than a chain. in my experience the chain just care about your money & getting the next customer in. the independent restaurant care more for service for the customer & quality of your food.

Hong Kong Diner in London's Chinatown.

Al's Diner in Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong. Though the only food being offered is usually vodka jellies

Another brilliant independent restaurant is Il Pescatore by Golden Disc.

We've done this before, but I'd point people in the direction of The Royal Thai in Benfleets, would also recommend a ring stinger from the Tandoori Parlour.

Had a takeaway from there a few months back, and wasn't overly impressed..

as for other restaurants mentioned on here,

The Hawk in Battlesbridge is a very good.

I want to go to Farthings as I've heard good things about it, but it's not even open on a Sunday!

For a Ruby, and I'm not a massive Ruby fan, The Shagor is a safe bet.

La Tasca is good, though I think the Southend one isn't that good.

Nando's is crap in my view as well.

Anyone been to the Outback Steakhouse in Basildon??

Fish House anyone?

Right now? Think it's closed mate.

Great shout, big fan of that place. Went to Tolouse recently and thought it was really good, even better as I wasn't paying.

just to add, went to Toulouse on the seafront on Saturday and it was excellent

I am off there Friday, Stephane is a great Chef.

Can't wait, Toulouse would be my favourite restaurant but from the list above I do like Nandos as I love my chilis and the food is actually quite healthy for a fast food place.

Yeah my dad was banging on about the old Stefan's restaurant, a shame I didn't ever go.

Poncey pizza, with lots of fresh basil, and a knife and fork you're expected to use!

I would not say Poncey but more like an italian pizza than the horrible bloated things the USA gave the world.

I like Farthings Steakhouse on Southchurch Road

I have never been there but always intrigued what it is like.

So I might consider popping in one night and giving it a whirl.

All of the above are trumped by 'The Bender' at Wimpy.

Jade Palace Wickford, all you can eat chinese but you order from menu and it's all cooked fresh and brought to you, quality food and very reasonable :clap:

Like Beefeater just more expensive. It really isn't all that.

 

[BaileytheQuitter]

Of them, Nandos- but a good place for some Italian food is ASK, decent prices as well.

The one in York is amazing. When we played Leeds in the CCC away (miserable day) we stayed in York and went their.

Located in a lavish hall with huge roman-esque columns. Over a hundred tables. Plenty of staff and a buzzing atmosphere.

Anyone been to this ASK in York?

Would recommend it.

South of the border has to be La Gavroche, Marble Arch, London unbeatable for a one of treat, amazing surroundings, superb individual service and the food.......incredible.
The the owner (Michel Roux) is a really nice guy who takes time to discus your views on the food that his 3 Michelin Star (first in the UK) restaurant has provided for you. Ideal place for a special occasion.

North of the border is even easier, Bistro Verde on the Green, Aberdeen. It is predominantly a fish restaurant but cater for all tastes, it is very exclusive with only 8/10 covers. again the service is very personal and the food is just like your mum would serve up for you.

Forgot all about the Outback. Lovely steak in there and the beer comes in massive frosted jars. bit pricey, but well worth it. top notch gaff imo

Anyone ate at 'Harley Davidson'? i've been to the one in vegas and it is quite spectacular. big ol' bit of steak for quite cheap.
