Restaurant & Bar Reviews

Americano is located in the Hotel Americano which is a new boutique hotel in the west village .

Nothing very out of the ordinary in the layout of the place. Usual chrome ,glass minimalist look. It does however have a very pleasant small outside patio.

The food was excellent and well priced for new York.

Beef tartar was as good as I have tasted.

Chicken Paillard was interesting while the steak frites was good but nothing special.

The overall experience was very pleasant and the service was very good. Also it is located very close to the new York high line which is well worth having a walk along.

Bar Boulud is located in the Mandarin
Oriental in Knightsbridge directly opposite Harvey Nichols.

I was here for lunch and was amazed how the gluton free bread tatsted.

Starters were excellent especially the country pate.

Coq au vin and salmon entrees were really good.

Dessert which was sorbet also hit the spot

This is a very civilized place to spend a lunch time.

Suka is the in house restaurant at the Sanderson Hotel in London.

The set-up is ultra cool with part of the restaurant situated in this covered zen garden.

The other part is at the end if the very famous Long Bar.

The food was fantastic . No idea what is was but fantastic all the same

Check out the restrooms. These are the gents.

Don’t normally do dessert but the sorbet was quite exquisite .

Another one of my favorite hang- outs in Montreal

On my last visit I spent a lot of time perched at this bar working on the development of the Supershag Empire

The restaurant is very grand but I have never felt out of place in my jeans and t-shirt.

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.

Salmon was pretty good as well.

Always worth a visit.

Weinstein and Gavinos is located on Crecent Street right Un the heart of the upscale shopping section of Montreal .

I would describe it as an up market bar and is one of my favorite lunch spots .

The bar is really well stocked and the interior could be described as rustic cool.

The food is not of the scale but I very good.

The Osso Bucco is great

They were also very accommodating with the gluton free meal that was requested. The custom cooked salmon was very good.

So if you are shopping and feel the need for lunch or an early afternoon meal this is a great place to visit.

What a great restaurant . Not at all what I expected to find in Savannah. Located at the tip of Forsyth Park it is located in a charming old building.

The interior is very cool in a very contemporary way and would not look out of place in New York.

I really liked the lighting which created a very soothing atmosphere

This is not a cheap restaurant with prices on a par with Boston . The food is all locally produced(well most if it is) and the service was excellent.
They carried my favorite beer which made the visit worthwhile by itself.

I started with quail stuffed with chorizo which was excellent.

My main course was steak frites.once again this was great.

After dinner I had a couple of drinks on the roof-deck which was very cool.

The trees surrounding the roof were very interesting. Oaks covered with Spanish moss.

Just visited again in Jan 2013.
Some new dishes which did not disappoint.

Deffo 2 thumbs up from me.

Strawberry salad was very good.

Coq au Vin was not that tasteful at the beginning . As the meal cooled it became more flavorful . Quite light not as rich as the usual coq au vin offering.

Tile fish with curry was an interesting combo but tasted very nice.

Sucre was the second restaurant I visited in Buenos Aires and it really seems to have maintained it’s popularity. The space is very large and open with minimalist decoration and soft lighting. It gets very noisy so if you want to listen to the great soundtrack get there early (before 10). The kitchen opens into the restaurant so if possible get a table overlooking this. The bar is very well stocked and is located underneath a suspended metal walkway that leads to the restrooms (this definitely brings out the inner cage dancer of some patrons).

The food is simple but excellent. The swordfish and octopus were as good as I have had anywhere.

The restaurant is a little of the beaten track and is quite pricey by Argentinian standards but once again well worth a visit.

Cluny has become my Boston Navy Yard Bistro of Buenos Aires. The actual space is fantastic.Seems as if it was an old garage, part inside part outside.Staff are very attentive and the food is excellent. Salmon tartare, steak and grilled octopus cannot be beaten. Great wine list. You get the picture I really like this place. Go check it out and if you are really lucky you may even get to talk to the chef with the crazy Lancashire accent.

Do not be put off by the very naughty name (in British English).This is another one of “the” places to hang out.Located in the bohemian area of Buenos Aires,Palermo Soho , Mott is a big open space that just yells COOL.The bar is very well stocked and the caipirinhas will knock your head off.Smoked salmon sandwich is excellent and most of the food is locally sourced.Definitely worth a visit.

Modern Italian restaurant in Copley Square, great atmosphere, liked the Bellini’s but found the food a bit to salty. We ordered the Crab Gratinata and Verdure for starters both were tasty for our main course we had the Ribeye and the Cod this is where the ‘salty’ was most present. The service was good however I left here feeling I did not need to go back anytime soon.
