Eating out. This week's top recommendation. Are you looking for
somewhere special to go this weekend? Do you want to try something new? Check
out one of these hot new restaurants. (By Helen Carroll)
Last Days of the Raj
A centrally located Indian restaurant, perfect for eating before or after the cinema
or a show. In summer enjoy your meal in the beautiful garden. The most popular
dishes are lamb and chicken cooked with mild, medium or hot spices. For brave
customers there is extra hot!
A Taste of Tuscany
Whether you'd like a great value-for- money lunch or a relaxed evening meal in
stylish surroundings, this is the place for you. The chefs have all been trained in
Italy and they make both traditional and contemporary dishes. We recommend the
pasta and seafood.
Your Local Caff
Remember when cafés served full English - breakfasts - sausages, beans, fried
bread bacon and eggs with a strong cup of tea? Well, this place still does and you
can have your breakfast at any time you like during the day while you listen to
your favourite tunes from the 1980s.
The Lemon Tree
This pretty restaurant serves healthy food that's tasty too. Come in for a vegetarian
snack at lunchtime or a great fruit smoothie or a cappuccino and a delicious piece
of cake in the afternoon. Food is bought from local producers whenever possible.
Cheesy Bites
A restaurant that only serves cheese, but hundreds of cheeses from many countries
and in lots of different forms. They serve reasonably priced lunches but dinner can
be expensive. Lovely food and a very elegant dining room, looking onto an
amazing flower garden.
Fast Best
Fast food doesn't have to be junk food, as this café proves. Do you fancy a really
good hamburger made with the best ingredients, or old-fashioned fish and chips
fried to perfection, all on the table in super-quick time? Speed and quality are
important here, and the prices aren't bad either.
The Chocolate Box
The owner of this small café used to cook all kinds of food, but then she realized
she preferred desserts to anything else. If you want meat or fish, don't come here.
They only do desserts! Lots of different kinds of sweets. Chocolate lovers will be
excited by the range of chocolate cakes.
Musical Chairs
Have you noticed how music improves the taste of your food? This new restaurant
has different types of live music every night except Sundays, and excellent food to
go with it. Great fish dishes, steak and pizza. Monday is classic rock night, so see
you there!
