The Fuk Restaurant Thread!

Had a great/good/indifferent/downright awful meal at a restaurant, then please add it in here and describe what you had, value for money, ambience and quality of the grub etc. (if you can get a pic of the place or nick the menu to show on here than all the bettter)
doesnt matter where it is, if you liked it or hated it, then tell us all.
please no b.k, maccydees, k.f.c or nandos.....cos contrary to popular opinion on here, these are not fine dining nor proper restaraunts.

to start the thread off, here is the 2009 top 50 places to eat in the world this year, anonced this week.
suprisingly 'the fat duck' retains its second place even after making hundreds of people viloently ill and having to shut for nearly a month.

went to this on the sat.
was shit.
starter (sausage and potatoe thingy) was good.
but the bucket of seafood was lame.. had quite a few muscles with grit in it!
bacon ice cream was amazing though.

I was there Saturday as well, I enjoyed it, but you're right about the bucket, far too many gritty mussels. But the crab was good, as were the clams. That bacon/peanut butter ice-cream was amazing, one of the best deserts I've had in a long while. Really nice, really strong cocktails too.

We left at about 5 to go to a BBQ, did you stay for the DJs?

Yeah it was freezing. We would have been there the same time then. I was the tall, handsome guy in the COS varsity. Did you try a lobster corndog?

wait..
think i was double deniming it that day.
defo only brown skin in double denim.

had a brick lane beigel bake salt beef bagel with double mustard today, first time in probably 2.5 years forgot how totally excellent these were!

is there anything better for less than 5 quid in london I wonder?

did a few of the hype spots this week,

Spuntino twice, both times really enjoyed,service is a bit sporadic but food is good, stuffed olives and eggplant chips are really good could eat those all day!

went to Hix new place at tramshed in the week,nice for lunch had steak salad was good for what it was will return for a proper steak,nice space,

meat/liquior or whatever the one behind oxford st is called, was ok,I thinkIm not really on the burger hype,I dont like eating in the dark,it smells funny in there too, glad I had no que, nice cocktails though and fried pickles but overall nothing to really right home about.too much hype

bodega negra is defo a bird only place imo.

went to this last night.
2nd burger monday i've been too.. but first at this new venue which is a really cool coffee shop near xoyo where they roast their own coffee beans in the basement.
half beef/half lamb burger was amamzing.
chefs from moro in exmouth market - which is probably 2nd fav restaurant in london.

missed the slots at joe allens which is one of my fav restaurants.

meat liqour is about 1 level above a burger king now imo.

Jesus Is that one of their pics or yours?

Yeah i meant to post about that - I went to meatmarket last week and honestly prefer byron.

Speaking of which I don't fully understand the snobbery against byron (if there is any), it's reliably good quality. it's not cheap but not really expensive. I go for lunch sometimes and always enjoy it.

Also i went to hache a couple weeks ago, that was a bit better.
