upinwath Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 For the best chinese dim sum in the (or at least my) world go to china palace on silver street, doncaster. I have tried dim sum in london, manchester, brum, sheffield and kuala Lumpur. Doncaster is still the best Can't go to Baan Thai as it makes me laugh - had a funny moment or two with chinese friends after mis pronouncing it's name a little.

Ousetunes Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 West 10 in Ranmoor. Abso-blummin-lutely fabulous food, top notch indeedy in pleasant intimate surroundings. The food is on a par with the wines and champers, and mine host Mr Higgingbottom is a fan of Vuerve Cliquoet Ponsardin - THE champagne for a summer's evening. (He also stocks Cloudy Bay wine and a cheaper though very similar wine from New Zealand which saves you about £15 per bottle). It's a smashing place with a lovely atmosphere. It has a little sun terrace for summer too. It's just how I imagine a bistro should be. It's a little expensive but that can only be a good thing: it keeps life's tab ends out. For pub grub, The Sportsman at Hallam takes some beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonJParr Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Has anybody tried or heard things about Catch or Artisan (formerly Thyme) in Crosspool? I keep meaning to try Catch as I'm a big seafood lover but haven't yet got round to it. On a separate but related note 'Artisan' has to be one of the most stupid names for a restaurant that I have ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that Catch is very good, if you like seafood obviously, but a bit pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonJParr Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I've heard that Catch is very good, if you like seafood obviously, but a bit pricey. Seafood restaurants are great. After all, nothing says 'special' quite like seafood. Actually, I went to my favourite restaurant on the Fylde coast last Friday; I had foie gras parfait with truffle air to start, followed by Three cuts of Forest of Bowland Beef in a green peppercorn sauce and served with dripping fat cut chips and finally rounded off with a Banana Butty Creme Brulee. Divine! And the proprietor Caroline gave us a free bottle of champagne because I wrote kind words about them in the Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwit Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Marmaris on London Road. Very friendly, nice and airy and fantastic Turkish cuisine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Froggies Bistro or Wasabisabi, both on London Road, are my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Phantom Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Portofino London Road, great Italian, take your own wine, and a lot cheaper than town. If I'm feeling rich Candy Town on London road is hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
