What was the last restaurant you ate in? What did you have?
Feel free to add any comments if you wish!

I'll start.

Thai Orchid

I had: spring rolls and chicken fried rice (adventurous

)

Not bad, 2 course lunch for £7.95. Very attentive staff though.

harry ramsdens, YAS.

cod supper.

it tastes like their take away (funny that) but you pay 2 quid more for their plastic plants and staff that look a bit special.

Cafe Mao.

Hot an spicy chicken soup and something with noodles, be fucked if I can remember what.

two starters, two mains, couple of drinks- £45ish. - The people next to us were listening to our conversation.

I don't get how folk can happily shell out £45 for a meal.

Howies (Victoria Street, Edinburgh). I started with haggis, neeps and tatties with whisky sauce (which, fortunately, kept in the tradition of whisky sauces tasting fuck-all like they purport to) and then battered whiting with chips and mushy peas. I was hungover, and dismayed about my lunch-date's attitude toward 2pm wine, but still had fun.

If its for a special occasion or the food is worth it, I don't mind, I will happily put money aside. I plan to have an all out meal at The Rogano for my birthday

Yey for seafood.

Phoenix Park where I work. We all got to have a free meal to see how everything should be carried out. Not to plug the place but it was gorgeous food.

Factor in a bottle of win and staying and having a few drinks too, that's not a ridiculous amount.

I can't remember the name of the place but Steve and I last went to a steak place in merchant square. Food was fantastic, and since I wasn't paying I paid no heed to the bill.

If it's a special occasion or a much required treat I happily shell out up to £100. Mind you that's taking into consideration that it's a 3 course meal, a couple of large glasses of wine each and a £10 tip if I was pleased with the place.

Cafe Pacifico in Covent Garden. Lots of mojitos and tequila.

£45 is pretty cheap for a meal for two, especially if it includes drinks.
