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.

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
