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.

Byron is a good standard for a chain and pretty good value, should not be looked down on imo.

Bahn Mi or Freebird Burrito on Berwick street are pretty good.

Just seen this on Twitter:

That looks so unappetising. I had one from MeatMarket with a hangover and it sorted me right out, but the grease saturation is stomach churning.

Don't get the Byron love on here, it's worse than 'Gourmet Burger Kitchen', Black & Blue, Hawksmoor.

Yet to try MeatLiquor but it looks perfect, if you're having a burger you want it to be seedy, greasey and filthy

Can we please just put in the OP that lucky chip is the best burger in London. And that meat liquor/market is greasy shit.

Running lucky chip close is the hawksmore bar cheese and shortrib burger. Fucking awesome.


Shitty photo.

They also serve my favourite food in the world right now...
Short rib with melted cheese nuggets.

Proper pork sausage hot dogs, queues can get big after 1 but worth it.

I work five minutes from here but have never been. Got put off by a friend telling me that he saw one of the guys serving there go and use the portable urinals close by, not wash his hands and came back and carried on serving the hot dogs.

not my patch

not had a bad meal in pitt que, but dukes is better.

as for meat liquor. i just took it that its about as played and as shit as supreme now? as with anything.. increased production -> reduced quality.
lucky ship is hands down the best in london now.
and so says the burger-me
http://www.hamburger-me.com/p/top-5-best-burgers-in-london.html

Need to give that Dukes a go, only two minutes from me.

Agree with Lucky Chip being the best burgers. Great value for money as well. Been a good few times, always get the Kevin Bacon, good for hangovers.
From Sunday...
