Restaurant & Bar Reviews

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.

Verses is in the Hotel Nelligan located in Old Montreal behind Notre Dame cathedral .

The hotel is very cool as it seems to have been 2 buildings that have been joined together.

I had a Beefoe latte which was excellent and there was a very good wine list.

I had the beef tartar which Included some great fries.
Our waiter was excellent. Very attentive and informative. Overall a very comfortable place to spend an afternoon.

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.

In London this restaurant is an institution.Frequented by the artsy fartsy set it is a place to see and be seen.

Located just off the Covent Garden area I recommend that you make a reservation well in advance in order to get in.

I would descibe the place as a gastro pub which seems to be the rage in London at the moment.I had fish and chips and mushy peas.

They were ok but the tomato sauce(ketchup) was excellent.

Overall I really do not know what the big deal is about this place but at least I can say I have been.

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.

Le dOMe at the Four Seasons is one of the most sophisticated bars in Buenos Aires. A place where local power brokers would meet but thank god just as comfortable with me in my shorts (they are very nice shorts though).Grab a seat at the bar lean back and look up at the dome after which the restaurant is named. If you do not feel sick from being light headed tuck into the salmon burger. Absolutely brill. The wine list is first rate and of course the service is great. Make a reservation at Le dOMe

Free wi-fi and a great soundtrack (not what I expected at all) made this the ultimate lunch experience.

Great garden style dining, you can have a deluxe lunch or dinner here, or opt for an appetizer and cafe latte, their biscotti is to die for, they won’t let you take it home though so eat up!

Irish coffee off the scale. Jameson 12 year old whisky, fresh whipped cream ,sugar, coffee and a small hint of cinnamon . This was a small meal by itself.On a par with the Rey Juan Carlos in Barcelona . Pleasantly surprised by the gluten free salmon,very tasty. Free wi-fi. Ask at bar for code.

A trip to Buenos Aires isn’t complete
without a visit to the Alvear Palace.
