The Pot Belly is located between Banbridge and Gilford in Northern Ireland
A pot belly is not a fat person from Charlestown but a particular type of stove.one is located in the restaurant and it keeps the place very toasty.
The food was simple but really good.
This steak with the bushmills sauce was great and the cows were happy so that is great.
There was a gluten free menu and the salmon was very good.

This Montreal institution is located about a 10 dollar cab ride from downtown on Rue Saint Denis
The restaurant is very traditional no Wi-fi here. Just what you would expect from a place that has been around for a long time.
No frills but this pate was great.
So was the octopus.
Of course the steak frites was very good.Not my usual type of place but the champagne prices were the best that I found in Montreal. In fact some of their bottles were as cheap as the liquor stores.To make a reservation

The food is great. The bread is brill.
I always have a latte in a large bowl with a straw and Jamesons . The perfect Beefoe latte. The one that I had here was so good that I forgot to take a photo.so here is the chicken club.

Hotel Gault Montreal
by supershag on Feb.14, 2012, under Montreal, QC - Canada, Stay Here If You Can
My fav hotel in Montreal.
Located in the heart of Old Montreal I believe the building was a YWCA at one time.
The hotel is very small and the rooms have a very loft like feel.
The level if service is fantastic . Nothing seems to be too much for the staff.
The hotel is dog friendly , has a small gym ,is very contemporary but retains a certain old world charm.
