Nobu, London

A one Michelin star Japanese restaurant in London. Very nice! Love the decor and food was excellent.


Typical Japanese salad with soy sauce and sesame oil.


Sushi platter. Very fresh and tasty.



Tempura. Sorry, it looked so good I ate some before this pic was taken.

beef teriyaki. Steak was just a little chewy but the sauce was good.


Cold soba. Again, very good.


Victoria and Albert Restaurant, Manchester


We went for the 39 pounds 3 course dinner + a bottle of wine. Overall, the meal was average. The restaurant, for a Saturday night, was quite empty. Service was average, borderline poor. We were left in a little corner and had to wave to the waiteress everytime we wanted something. Our wine glasses were never topped up. The decor was actually quite nice with lovely little booths for us to sit in and we had a lovely view of the river.

I had a chicken liver pate which looked home-made but was not very tasty. My wife had deep fried cod cheeks which was quite interesting, but the batter needed more seasoning.

The Chocolate Fondant with ice cream - over baked and dull
Peach Tart Tartin - Would have been better with some ice cream. Quite poor.
Chicken and Leek Pie. Very dry and needed some gravy.
Roast Belly Pork and bacon and cabbage mash - Quite tasty and probably the best dish of the night. About 6/10.
Lovely view of the river though.
Not brilliant. Would not go there again unless I lived next door.

Overall 5 out of 10.
