I like the Box Tree in Ilkley. Only 1 star but not too shabby, unlike one of the diners when I was last there who was wearing jeans. Whatever happened to their dress code. Must have a word with management if it happens again.

One next to a chippy so I don't go home hungry.

Indeed. No chance of getting a spare tyre as a result of eating at these fancy restaurants.

There's one in Leeds I note. A bit quirky, but food ok apparently. I'll ask Aunty Post if he wants to go with me.

Heston had his closed (The Fat Duck) for deplorable hygiene standards. I wonder how many of the mugs who ate the grub from his filthy kitchen raced to book when he re opened @ £255 per head + 12.5% service charge, + drinks.

Plenty, apparently, and that's just the ones who left reviews.

I love a spicy curry, vegetable one that is, Been looking at the Tharavadu in Leeds, which was Michelin nominated, and has amazing reviews. Main course £8!

Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons, Raymond Blanc's place in Oxfordshire
Absolutely superb food, with unparalleled service and a total joy from start to finish. The Fat Duck was, erm interesting. Definitely one for the hipsters rather than the foodies - the sort of place you go to be seen rather than enjoy the food. Too much smoke and mirrors (literally!) with very basic seating and ambience. |

Winteringham fields is very nice been a couple of times Kenny, best to stay though. Its about 5 minutes over the Humber Bridge in Lincs.
Black Swan at Oldstead is also nice. The first time was excellent, the 2nd time it was a taster menu. We bought a take away on the way back. NOT Yorkshire portions. |

Just a means of separating 'some people'* from their money.
The more stars the more you get fleeced. (being diplomatic with 'some people) |

Just a means of separating 'some people'* from their money.
The more stars the more you get fleeced. True up to a point but you could say that of any luxury goods, but consider how many chefs work in a Michelin-starred kitchen. Someone's got to pay their wages. |

By:
Are you from Leeds KK? Maybe you, me and Aunty Post, and Huggy if he's up to it, could meet up and try "The Man Behind The Curtain" the Michelin Starred one in Leeds.

By:
You ARE from Leeds. I had a senior moment just then.

Kenny I've got a mate eats at that place. He's got a lot more money than I have and he uses it for business.
He has clients from all parts of the country and he takes them because a lot of them have heard about it and want to try it. He says you get very little for your money and it wouldn't be his first choice. Getting a table is very difficult. |

I believe it once boasted the longest wait list in all of Europe.

Apparently kim, as I said earlier the food's excellent of course, but there's loads of small dishes which the meal comprises of, which would not be to everyone's taste. I'm very keen to try The Tharavadu off Boar Lane, which was Michelin recommended without collecting a star. Very reasonable price and a great vegetarian range, for me.Plus it's next door to William Hill. I could easily pay for the meal with an arb or too.
Got a link for that Joel? |
|
By:
two not too.
|
|
By:
A link for what?
|
|
By:
This!!!
I believe it once boasted the longest wait list in all of Europe. |
|
By:
It's on their site, if you click on the Booking page
|
|
By:
That's just as likely to put people off I'd have thought.
|
|
By:
Yes me too.
Anyway I think The Tharavadu is more appealing. Might check it out next time I am in Leeds. |

has anyone of foodies who eat at these places,ever had the balls to say oi mate this is shoite,millions upon millions of these dishes tasted on tv and although of them unbelievable,maybe they should get some kids on there to tell,m exactly how it is,
those who dont want to be offended frightened to death to offend someone else |

I'd be up for a boozy lunch at Langans or some other suitably male establishment with the London contingent if anyone fancied it!
|
|
By:
the best part of any meal is the beer imo
 |

MARVELLOUS LUNCH MICHELLY!

By:
GOT, I think Langans is great.

I went to the George Cinq in Paris, I think it was 2 or maybe 3 stars I can't remember as it was a few years ago. It was an absolutely amazing experience but I'm just glad I didn't have to pick up the tab, I could never justify paying such astronomical prices regardless of the quality of food and service.

I had my stag night dinner at Langan's Brasserie, I like that place as well. It's a bit of a London institution. Peter Langan owned it with Michael Caine if I remember correctly.
