Mr Ben's mentioning of burgers in NYC on the thread about Gourmet Burger Kitchen got me thinking about how useful a thread on our favourite bars and restaurants abroad would be.

So...

In Sydney, my fave place is Awaba at Balmoral Beach

In Manchester, it's Greens in Didsbury (no website I can find, though I have done in the past)

In Brussels, it's Le Belgica

like the way TooMuchCoffeeMan refers to Manchester

abroad!

Johnny Rocket's in Miami South Beach - much better burgers than GBK but also really cool for its "Scarface" connection

Cafe Schuh in Interlaken


(But my favouritest cafes ever - although not abroad, even though Cambridge, like Manchester, is North of Watford Gap - were the Corner House in Cambridge and Diana's Diner in Endell Street, Covent Garden - both sadly missed :()

Jah - you say that like it's a bad thing!


Sure the world is just a big village and we're all God's children


Drink:

HiB in Cork

Tunnel Top - San Fran

Souths - NYC

Double Locks - Exeter


Eats: (not always about the BEST food - but the right place with the right food)

used to also include Double Locks in Exeter

Les Halles for a nice steak - NYC



I'm sure I'll think of more later

Da Nino, Letojanni, Sicily.

Two doors down from the apartment where we spent our honeymoon. We watched the fishing boat come in while we had breakfast on our balcony and ate whatever they'd caught that evening. Also, a lovely sommelier, who was really a budding actor between jobs, who guided us through Sicilian wine (dangerous territory for an amateur) and entertained us.

Happy, happy memories... :))

Can you remember what it's called? Am off there in a few weeks and always on the lookout for good seafood.

Ps. what a perfect thread for name/place dropping.

All in Tauranga NZ:


Somerset Cottage - The closest thing to gourmet nz cuisine that we could find, but spectacular once found: lamb shanks to die for.


Turkish to Go near Mount Maunganui for the most overloaded falafel wrap i've ever gone to town on.


Alimento for eggs benedict or other lazy brunch of choice.

Pre Catalan in Paris - especially in summer eating out under the (I think) chestnut trees in the Bois de Boulogne


Second SeanMc on Les Halles in New York, although my behaviour last time I was there rather put a dampener on dinner


And second Jah too, but showing off is fun, doubly so if required to eat amazing food to do so

I haven't a clue I'm afraid, but I reckon it has to be the most southern restaurant in Europe.I was there in 1998, so it might not be there anymore. They had a balcony on the cliffs which over looked a beach (Tonel?) and it was on the southern side of the forte. Will try to find out for you.

> Nowhere in Gibraltar...believe me



I lived in Andalucia for 6 months last year, and as a vegetarian, I was pretty glad to get down to Hebrolta just for a change of (culinary) scene, and to get away from ham being sprinkled on everything.

Other than that, my fave place to eat in Spain was...my kitchen.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
