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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
