Quinn’s in the 1990s was as close as you could get to a perfect restaurant. Back then, it didn’t have the best food in the world, or even in London; it wasn’t the prettiest or the most sumptuous room; it was a long way from having the finest wine list; it didn’t offer a view. But it had that thing,...
I will be in London on 8th March and was wondering where a pub might be showing the cup game. I'm staying in the premier inn at tower bridge Thanks in advance
Donald - it's G here. Can you send me the London Hibs database by email as my HD collapsed and I've lost all email contacts and databases. Thanks - Pierre also has a copy but he's filming in Monaco for his new restaurant venture that he's concentrating on.
This year, Christmas week is Senegalese week at Quinn's. Why Senegalese? Don't ask me but seemingly Pierre is training an African chef for another new business venture in Monaco and the week's staff are half-white, half black, with the blacker half being some of the most arrestingly beautiful...
As attendees at Quinn’s on Sunday will know, Mr and Mrs Quinn recently received their ‘Best French Brasserie in London Award’ at a gala ceremony organised and sponsored by L'Équipe and the Egon Ronay Foundation. While often seen dotting around the restaurants like kids toys with defective...
This was posted on the London Hibs messageboard - but for those turning up for the first time...get to Quinn's for 12pm prompt, as the match will only be screened in the piano bar and seating is strictly limited. ...
It looks like old-style pubs have gone the way of crinolines and Ford Capris. For the last two years, a pub – the Hand in Flowers in Marlow – was voted our best restaurant at the National Restaurant Awards. I’ll say that again; the best restaurant in the country isn’t even a restaurant. The...
Was great to see some of the "old faces" for the Hamilton game. I'm still in Londinium but the countdown has begun.... Should finish there on the 15th Aug. London Hibs boys heading Quinns for the game - will it be on? cheers Mr T.
Are quinns screening the game tonight? And if so, is anyone going? If like to make this my first appearance at this very fine sounding establishment :-)
Food is the oldest, most enduring measure of status, wealth, power and aspiration. Whether it’s spraying magnums of Cristal over Moldovan hookers at the Cinquante Cinq inSt Tropez, or watching a tiger being killed, then eating it, as I’m told is now all the rage among Chinese billionaires, food is...
Hi there, I've been a Hibee for over 10 years, since my uncle took me to a derby when I was 14 and I got hooked! I live in Brighton these days and would be keen on getting involved with the London SC (I spend most weekends in London). It would be great if someone could share some advice on...
Still down here - where r folks meeting up Quinns?
It's on Alba (is it available down South?) 7:45 Tuesday anyone got plans? I've re-aquatinted with Londinium after an 11 year break so it's been a while but I'm down for 3 months and should be staying in Paddington. If Quinns are showing reckon it'd be too far what with the strike due - all...
Sure, Paris is only two hours on the Eurostar, but with bistros and brasseries as good as Quinn's, why leave London? Why do we rate this restaurant so highly? Because it’s a place we’re happy to return to time after time, and also somewhere we feel utterly confident in recommending to food lovers...
Have The Quinn family got anything organised for Scotland fans for this game?
Staying in London on Monday night, I've been booked in a hotel at Swiss Cottage, any recommendations where to watch the Hibs? Understand Spurs are on sky so all pubs I imagine will be showing that. What about Quinn's in Camden? Don't think that's too far from where I'm staying? Any...
From the crisply ironed tablecloths to the epic cheese ‘chariot’ that gets wheeled out at the end of the meal, Pierre at Quinns sets the North London standard for dyed-in-the-wool French dining without tears and is a ‘refreshing example’ of how it should be done. Francophiles can salivate at the...
Sourcing seasonal ingredients in the depths of winter is never easy for perfectionists like Pierre, but he has scoured Europe-wide to provide us with some sumptuous dishes. Having been invited along to his preview evening last week I can definitely say no-one will be disappointed, and hopefully...
How much is membership to the LHSC? Been meaning to get up Quinns for a while however work always gets in the way!
Is this going ahead this year?
Quinn's has re-opened today after a two week holiday and I'm glad to report that Jean Claude has emailed me through our menu for Friday evening. Regarding Jean Claude, there are a number of things that make or break the reputation of a restaurant, but the two things that do most are the menu...
Firstly, the bad news. The restaurant at Quinn's is closed until January 7th due to Pierre and his team taking their annual holidays. Christmas and New Year falling on a Wednesday dictated that fresh ingredients were at a premium, so rather than hike up prices, it was decided to close the...
The menu is the single most important item in a restaurant. It is its calling card, its advertisement, its mission statement. Menus are pored over minutely by restaurateurs, considered through bottles of wine and cups of coffee. The one bit of a restaurant that is like the theatre is the menu. It’s...
London must have more places to eat than any other comparable city. There are stretches of Camden Town where every shop front has a neon pictogram indicating simple Day-Glo sustenance; a green coffee cup of the sort you never get offered now because it doesn’t hold enough, a ghoulish Chinese duck...
We at London Hibs would disagree on London's best pub, we'd fall out over its finest building, we might never speak again if we sniggered about is greatest borough. There is no doubt we'd argue about cinemas, theatres, operas and ballet, but on one aspect of the glittering capital canon that we'd...
Was speaking to Pierre today about the forthcoming season and he commented “I see that you lost to ze Swedes. I will put some on ze menu”. Speaking of Swedes, did you know that the European Union is stipulating that Cornish pasties can’t be called pasties unless they’re made with swede, and not...
Just found out will be over in London from Canada over the Cup Final weekend. Realise no chance of tickets at this stage, but are London Hibs meeting in Quinn's, or elsewhere to watch the game? Surely everyone is not going to be at Hampden?? Would love to take in the game with some fellow Hibees...
Hi Im a season ticket holder and im in the armed forces and currently based at Northwood in North London. Im going to be stationed here for the next two years and would very much like to come along to any events or days out that you guys may have planned. I cannot be down here for this long...
Must've been an interesting day! :thumbsup:
Afternoon all, I work in London four days a week but first time I've had to find a boozer to watch a Hibs game down here. I live and work in and around the centre and would really appreciate some suggestions on places to go to watch it tonight. Cheers
Does anyone know how many tickets it was per membership for the semi? Or how many it was on General sale per transaction? Travel.. Did anyone get the Megabus coaches up? Great idea for the final if anyones going!
Is it safe to assume Pierre will be preparing a fish dish for Friday?
Me and a mate are travelling up by hire car for the Motherwell match on Friday night. We have a couple of spare seats if anyone fancies a bit of a road trip. We will be leaving Central London at roughly 11am on the Friday and returning after the match so should get back in the early hours of...
Looking forward to my first trip to Quinns tomorrow, will the pub be showing all the games after too?
There are many cosmopolitan pubs and strange eateries on Kentish Town Road, Camden, NW1/NW5. It’s always been a road that collects oddities. In the 1940s there was a Polish community there and they called it the Warsaw Corridor; in the 1960s the hippy push swaggered in and firmly stayed-put and it...
For the uninitiated looking in, London goes right to left; its latitudes are more prosperous than its longitudes. The city flows east-west; north-south is downhill, shabbier, grubbier. Maybe it’s because a river runs through it. Perhaps it’s some Camden hippy bile, but the city ebbs and flows with...
Even on the rare occasions when one has nothing else in the fridge, there is always an onion, and being French, Pierre certainly knows his onions! Pierre has emphasised to me many times that onions are like a culinary Heathrow Airport – they can take you to thousands of edible destinations....
Hello everyone, I am wondering If you would be interested in entering a team in the following Tournament: Is a 7 a side tournament in Kirkcaldy Saturday 4th May 2013. The occasion is that Torino FC supporters Club in Scotland organize the event in memory of Grande Torino the 1940’s...
In 2010 Pierre was the winner of the Craft Guild National Chef of the Year, having been a finalist in 2008. Earlier in his career, he also won the Roux Scholarship. Pierre has one of the best CVs in the country, having worked with some of the world's top Michelin-starred chefs including Raymond...
In its busy Camden/Kentish Town location, Quinn’s is a surprisingly bourgeois French restaurant whose classic style will come as no surprise to those who’ve followed Hibs and head chef, Pierre since we relocated there; quality is good, standards are high. Pierre is a man who knows a bit...
