recommended!! yum!

This wasn't last nights dinner was it Tiffany? Pls tell me you didn't go there on a date you didn't want to be on!

No...it wasn't Sunday night... Sunday night was a nice curry but not a 7 course food orgy.

tiffyjmo and I went to the Saltoun Supper Club in Brixton last night - one of those underground dining clubs. It was delish and the setting was magical. If you can get yourself a seat, I highly recommend it.

LOVED it! but be careful with the BYOB part as three bottles was a bit much for two people...we did however find our way home without bruises this time. And to whoever told me off the last time I talked about a BYOB restaurant on this thread, this was posh and hightly recommended.

can anyone recomend a nice mid priced place in covent garden area? my gf needs to take someone for a business lunch there next week and is drawing a blank. i can't think of anything other than maggiores.

wahaca is nice. if you can forgive the poncy, mispelled name.

What's considered a mid price business lunch these days?
catfood - next time you're having Mexican, try Lupita on Villiers Street (much better than Wahaca IMO).

I have no idea, if i have to buy someone lunch I take them to Frank's Cafe on Southwark Street. Posh it is not.

thanks dude. that look like the sort fo thing she's after.

quite fancy it myself now. anchor and hope is great.

no beer on tap at GQS which i always thougt was odd - at least for a place that looks decidedly pubby.

Pearl does an excellent £30 three course lunch, not sure if that's over budget though.

Kopapa (Peter Gordon's new gaff) on Seven Dials is great as well, went there on a couple of weeks ago on a Tuesday night and the place was rammed.

So how does one prepare one's palette for 'fine dining'?

('fine dining' ... such a bland phrase ...)

meths

buy a monacle.

and beat a native mercilessly.

practice little finger extensions and do reps of dabbing the corner of your mouth with a napkin.

oh and read this

on the day? an apperitif G&t (pref hendricks/tanqueray10) or maybe a glass of champagne.

the amouse bouche will see you right on the day

or are you talking about training leading up to the big day?

it's weird that. i once heard a dedicated foodie claim that a by quaffing a g&t before food you might as well anethestise your tastebuds. or something similar. they might have a point.

We'll call into the Mandarin Bar for a glass of something beforehand, a Kir Royale may hit the note. I'm kinda wondering just what to have for breakfast ... Dinner is a late lunch.
