Restaurant 2013

[Herr Tubthumper]

As Friday is missing from your list, can I respectfully suggest you visit Street Diner - the Troll is there with his burgers as are loads of other fine eating establishments.

I took your tip and visited this pop-up location with Katherine (who conveniently had no money in her purse) and went for the simple option this time, just burger bun and cheese and some sauce. Following on from our previous discussion I think simple is better with this guy as it allows the flavour of the meat to push through. If you have the caramelised onion burger you need a good half pound of burger for it to balance properly. I have tried this, but I cannot do it every time.

I love this guy, his burgers are the best in Brighton and I really hope he makes a huge success of his operation.

I went to the Giggling Squid yesterday, which has been recommended by a few on here.

Very, very good and great value for money. For £10.50 I got a set meal of:salt and pepper chilli squid, beef salad, chicken massuman curry and jasmine rice. It was all really nice and they weren't stingy

Both Brighton and Hove Squids have been truly excellent in my experience, so I'm planning a trip to one of them next week. Which was yours?

The on by the Bath Arms in Brighton. I didn't realise the Hove one was still open, I thought it just moved.

Charlie's Buns, at the Wood Recycling Store (where Trolls Pantry used to be). Really tasty Asian steamed buns.

I went for the veggie option which was curried potatoes, Asian slaw, satay, chili sauce, cucumber, spring onions and coriander in a soft steamed bun.

They also do pork buns.

 

[Barham's tash]

I've just been treated to an absolutely fantastic experience at Le Gavroche.

£56.50 for 3 courses, half a bottle of wine each, bottle of sparkling water and coffee with petit fours.

Michelle and Monica even came out to chat as well.

Fantastic value for one of the best eateries in London if not the UK.

Going to the Marina tomorrow night, probably Frankie and Bennys to keep this kids happy

 

[Buzzer]

The missus and I had a takeaway last night from the Ottoman in Lewes Road. She had fish grill and I had mixed doner kebab. Just about the best kebab I've ever tasted from a takeaway. It arrives in a huge silver foil tray for both and laid out like a dinner plate- rice, salad etc. None of this squeezing into a pitta bread. It was delicious and very generous with the portions too. And mine cost about £7. Seriously good value for those in the BN2 area.

Marina was rammed tonight, 1 hour wait for Frankie and Bennies and Coast to Coast so Katerina, simple fare as Harvester but cheap and the kids love it.

Snaffled the 1st round of drinks free as well.

2 more we've been to recently.

I do love a Thai and the BYO in the North Lanes called Krua Anne is fantastic. Truly.
Very quick and friendly service, a huge meal for very little money.
Bring your own booze and we weren't charged any corkage.
I was rather squiffy, but its a solid 9.5/10.


Went to Hove Place for lunch. Rib eye for me which was pretty good but my medium-rare turned up full rare. Not a huge problem but not quite what I was after.
The wife's deconstructed ravioli with sun blushed tomatoes, olives and sage was simply awesome.
You know when you eat something and the different tastes bounce around in your mouth and half an hour later you can still savour it ? That.

Rib eye 7.5/10, Ravioli 9.5/10.

NICE! Gotta try this. Real lack of good asian options in Sussex (Dim Sum and the like)

 

[CheeseRolls]

Trolls Pantry @ The Hobgoblin for an early evening meal last night. Studenty pub, with a niceish garden, but boy are those burgers something special ? Another top NSC recommendation there.

China Palace in Worthing does a good selection of dim sum. Not the best I have ever had, but perfectly decent and plenty of choice.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Maze Grill in Grosvenor Sq London, exceptional steaks, the US prime steak is mouthwateringly tender, lunch for 2 and a bottle of vino £100. Much cheaper if you go for the set menu mind. Ramsey's finest london restaurant bar IMO.

What burger did you try?

I visited with the wife on Tuesday ahead of the Edinburgh Comedy previews at the Caroline of Brunswick. Mrs had a Smoky Mountain which she enjoyed (her first Troll Burger), I had a Fiery Mountain which is similar but with the hot sauce from the Trollkano.


He is also at Street Diner every Friday lunchtime along with another favourite of mine Picnic Corner - best scotch eggs in Sussex.

Double smoky mountain for me, plus Imperials for Mrs Rolls and son number one.

A blow out at Riddle & Finns last night. Not cheap, but top quality. Oysters, monkfish cheeks, squid, scallops and ceviche. A treat.

I love that place, always try to fit a visit in when down for the weekend.

Two Smokey mountains, am looking for another excuse to go again soon, will try Picnic Corner.

I had one not long after it opened and really enjoyed it. The steamed bun was really nice.
