Restaurants at home and away ...
This is just to start with, its not logically put together, just an impulse, so watch this space for further additions!!
- Hot off the press - and my stomach - Cafe Maroush - at the bottom end of the Edgware Road, near Marble Arch, London. Short, but delicious, Lebanese menu - The stuffed Sea Bass is out of this world. The decor, colourful and full of light and the staff could not be more welcoming.
- A recent find: THE GAUCHO GRILL, 19 Swallow Street, Piccadilly, London W1R7HD Tel: 44-0171-734 4040 - Great Argentinian steaks and stuff, grilled to perfection in an inspired dining space with friendly staff.
- On my doorstep there's PIZZA THE ACTION. 678 Fulham Road London SW6 Tel: 44 0171-736 2716. We've been going there for 12 years for the best pizza's ever (and I've tried them in Italy, the States Canada etc.) and they are incredible value.
- Also on my doorstep - We do live well here in darkest Fulham !! - THE SOLE BAR & GRILL - 773 Fulham Road, London SW6 5HA Tel: 44 0171- 371 9774 Great mediterranean food with jazz on Friday and Saturday nights.
- Next door to it at 692 Fulham Road Tel:736 5914 there's MAMTA which has the best Indian vegetarian food I've ever had. You simply won't miss the meat.
- In Scottsdale, Arizona, again for steaks to kill for! (I mean the cattle!!) RUTH'S CHRIS STEAKHOUSE, 7001 N.Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale 00602-991 5988. Seared at 2000 degrees - wow!
- In Phoenix, Arizona at Biltmore Fashion Park - RoxSand's at 2594 E.Camelback Road Tel: 00-602-381 0444 Shop till you drop, then eat till you smile your way into oblivion. Food from all over the world, woven together in intriguing ways that looks good, tastes good and by golly, does you good!!
- From my backpacking days I've got good memories of nights in Poppy's at Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia and a place in the jungle above Batu Ferringhi beach in Penang, Malaysia that served the most delicious black rice pudding! Do they still exist?
- In Argostoli, Kephalonia, Greece - just by the town square THE CAPTAIN'S TABLE. It looks touristy, the greeks go there and listen to great live music and the food is just about the best in town. The best? well I'm keeping that secret for the moment!!
