Went for lunch today and it was excellent. 10" hot dog with pulled pork and BBQ sauce with fries for £7. Superb.Quote:

Anybody got any recommendations for Manchester? Preferably vegetarian.
Any recommendations?Quote:

Peach Garden has been very good though it has just changed management again and locals giving it mixed reviews. I found it just as good so worth a visit.Quote:

Chinese Manor House probably the most expensive of the three but excellent food if maybe slighter smaller portions.
Fabios italian, gets good local reviews but never been a great fan myself and prefer to travel to La Piazza in Shandwick place more often than not.
Redwood bistro, Californian chef proprietor very different menu worth a look and visit.
St Johns Curry club, well worth a visit,quite small and when busy not much room between tables but decent food and great North Indian Chilli garlic chicken :-)
Abida same owner as curry club and always found it good,bigger restaurant with private room available for larger parties.
Eastern Pavilion I think it's callef next to Peach Garden never been is often empty.
We eat out locally a lot :-)
Spice Lounge on Drumbrae.Quote:

Going to the scran and scallie in Stockbridge for a birthday lunch in a few weeks. Have heard great things, can't wait.
Can't compare the food but can confirm it is often empty or the odd table whenever I pass which is often. I will give it a try based on your recommendation.Quote:

I've been going to Wongs since they opened about 10-15 years ago. The food has always been of a high standard and as Scouse mentioned, David and Rose do a great job of running the place. It's usually pretty quiet when I go these days but I think they do a lot of business on the takeaway side.Quote:

Was up town on Saturday and decided to go for a spot to eat. Popped in to the Foundry 39 at the west end. Located in what used to be Bar Roma on Queensferry Street.
The place is not long open and looked very trendy, plenty beard & tattoos on show as is the way these days. I thought the drinks were decent, plenty small batch brews to be had and the cocktail list has enough to cater for most tastes. I had the smoked Heather sour, which was certainly sour!
The food however was a big let down, opted for the special chilli burger asking with chilli fries. The fries were passable but the burger was shocking, somehow the meat pate was dried out but the bun was sopping in juices,,, disgusting and was left on the late. The server noticed it but never even asked how the food was.
Won't be back in a hurry unless it was drinks only.
Two friends of mine were in Lancers in Stockbridge on Saturday and said it was very poor, both service and quality of food.
Was in Wahaca at St Andrews Square on Friday night for my work's Christmas meal. We had the 'Mexmas Banquet' between 6 of us and it was really nice food.
The sweet potato taquitos and the salmon sushimi tostadas as part of the starters were amazing.
Interesting i drove past last week and thought it had been ages since I last went, always enjoyed it before but maybe will give it a miss!Quote:

I would (modestly) say that my carbonara was nicer than theirs, however it was very tasty regardless. They used a cream sauce and I was happy to finish the lot. The portion size was perfect as well.
Tiramisu for desert, was lovely.
The food wasn't that good that I'd rush to go back, but I certainly wouldn't have any qualms in going again if I was in the area.
The Atelier on Morrison Street for my year group at works Christmas dinner. Very nice indeed. One of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh.
Four of us going to Eastern Pavillion in Corstorphine tommorrow night following the good reviews on here. Hope it lives up to expectations :-)
