I’m looking for somewhere atmospheric, authentic, with good food but relatively reasonable prices. Ideally it needs to serve alcohol, but I guess that’s not essential.

Come to think of it, any other personal recommendations for restaurants in central or North London would be appreciated, same criteria.

Thanks!

I’ve seen a few questions and answers on here, from people in the US, who say that the food here is really bad. Why is this?

When I was in the States, I must admit I did love the food but it wasn’t down to quality, it was because the portions were much bigger, there was more choice, and because it was a lot cheaper, therefore I could eat a much higher quality of food than I can usually afford here in Scotland.

So, we don’t really get our money’s worth here. Portion sizes are pretty small, and to eat out at a decent restaurant can be quite expensive. But, even still, that’s not to say that we don’t have good food (just that you do need to shell out a bit more for it).

Are these tourists just basing their opinions on eating at our crappy, overpriced chain restaurants, fast food places, greasy spoons etc?

I’m looking for an all you can eat restaurant in Melbourne, as close to the CBD as possible. Preferably A cheaper all you can eat as this is for a rugby team break up lunch. Good food is a must as well… suggestions please?

Martinique is known as magical; however you won’t expect to find magicians roaming the street. The kind of magic found in Martinique is, quite simply, culinary. Being French, it is known to have a love affair with good food. France has given Martinique a wonderful tradition of great breads, cheeses and charcuterie to enjoy from, not to mention other classics like soufflé, bouillabaisse and filet mignon. Not only that, but you will have one of the widest choices of restaurants in the Caribbean of over 150.

Along with all that great food, Martinique produces some great rum. Don’t leave without tasting it!

You will not be left hungry or thirsty while you are here!

i/we run a small fast food business that is getting busier with our good food.i am looking for a business software that is suitable for our place.i am scanning all my receipts on my home comp. and ‘creating my own docs.’,but i think there is a better(and more professional) way of using proper software to control how i insert invoices,numbers etc..we do have a professional acc. to do our stuff,but i like to keep my own records as they lost our paperwork for a year..

Three come to mind for me, and I will name them in the order in which I like them:

First place goes to Village Inn and Pancake House, a chain I have mainly encountered in New Mexico. I have not seen them in many other places, but I suspect they probably have a few in other states. I like them because I got good service, good food and a reasonable price.

Second place goes to International House of Pancakes, a larger chain found in several states and in a lot of places in Texas, where I live. Again, I have found them to have good service, good food (especially if you like pancakes) and their prices are also pretty good.

Third place goes to Denny’s. Now, honestly, I have had poor service at some of their restaurants, and excellent service at others. The quality of the food has also varied. Their prices are usually comparable to Village Inn and IHOP.

My yardstick for judging a good breakfast place is the Steak and Eggs platter. I like my steak rare to medium rare, my eggs over easy and the other sides should be hash browns or grits (but I don’t care for grits.) At IHOP you get your steak and eggs with pancakes. That’s usually an option at other places as well, but sometimes I like a biscuit or English muffin instead.

Which of these or which other chain gets you off to a good start in the morning? The Kettle? One of the above? Or is there another chain you like?

Mom and pop places are great, but this question isn’t about them, so please limit your answers to chains with more than five restaurants. It’s fine if it’s one I’ve never heard of.

This is another in a series of questions about dining out. I like it, so share your ideas on where to go.
Thanks, KD. I almost forgot about Cracker Barrel. Good choice for down home style cooking. If I can substitute hash browns or something for the grits I will like it better.

For a fast food chain McDonalds does a decent breakfast, but it isn’t a breakfast specialty place, so I wouldn’t normally count it. Also, I like my eggs over easy and Mickey D’s only serves scrambled. Otherwise, not too bad a breakfast. No steak and eggs choice, though.

I’m turning 15 and i need some ideas on a restaurant for my birthday celebration with all my friends! I need a restaurant that has good food and also fun entertainment (?) Please help me out, or give me other ideas on where to host a party but i am really thinking a restaurant that’s teen enjoyable. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

Which argument is more effective and why?

I just finished reading of the both essays. I’m not sure that the gluttony as the one of the sins will help people to eat less, unless they are very religious and afraid that God will punish them for eating too much.
In my opinion the most effective argument is that we are surrounded by “obesogenic” environment. I believe it is true. The author Alison Motluk is absolutely right and I agree with her. People are surrounded by the things that supports their obesity. If we will look around us we will easily notice those things right away. There is a lot of examples. There is fast food restaurants provide cheap, fast, good food. On one hand its give us an extra time to do something else instead of spending time in front the stove, but on another hand it is make us to gain an extra pounds. Schools, offices, shopping centers, movie theaters , etc. “conviniently” located far away from our homes so we have to drive over there instead of walking. What is the body parts we working out while we are driving? None. Well, OK our arms are moving a little. This convenience very good for the gas companies and their profits, but completely against us. Our schools are also playing a big role in the “obesogenic” environment. I do not remember being pushed hard to work out by my PE teacher. Technology in now days very advance. Pretty much everything, work projects, games, homework, can be done on computer, and some people do not have to get out of the house to do their work. The only parts of our body getting an exercise is our fingers. I also think that presence of the enormous amount of the overweight people makes many people to think, or believe that this is normal. I almost forget to mention that right now most of the people having the hard times because the financial situation in our country is very bad. Do you know that a big percentage of the people who is having stress eating a lot more to make themselves feel a little bit more comfortable? This is true and very easy way to gain extra pounds fast. I’m a little scared after I red this essay. It is looks like we can not change this environment, unless we will flip everything over. Refuse to eat a lot, do the work on computer, shop only closely located stores, and think thin.

I just read a review on the International Buffet at Canada’s Wonderland and it sounds pretty bad. I’ve bought fastfood meals there before, for example, a Mr Sub sandwich ; it was quite expensive at over $10 for just one. I’m wondering if any of the other restaurants are okay. I’m willing to pay some money as long as we can sit down and have some good food instead of fast or gross food. Thanks.
