Chinese takeaways, Chinese buffets, upmarket Chinese restaurants…so many different variations, yet so many seem to provide the same dishes year in year out. With new businesses closing, and young anxious entrepreneurs trying to make it big, it’s hard to know where to look, where to eat, whom to believe! Dillingers American Diner is situated on Hayes Street in the charming village backdrop of Old Hayes, opposite The George. It has been a firm favourite with those nearby since 1970, gaining a fan base in excess of tens of thousands. Their novel idea was to provide customers with the quintessential American eating experience in a setting befitting the atmosphere and look of the traditional diner. Recently, I’ve become more and more aware of the array of Indian restaurants cropping up in my local area. The question is, are they as legendary, as great, as they claim to be, or are they simply serving the same dishes, but under a different name and management? As a keen ‘culinary correspondent’, I set out to visiting a plethora of Bengalese, Bangladeshi and Pakistani eating establishments in the Bromley and Croydon area. Italian cooking is often associated with bold romanticism, saucy and self-indulgent food. Going to an Italian restaurant has (or at least should have) a certain sensuous element to it; an ideal setting is quiet, almost private, dimly lit, along with a good selection of wines and champagnes, faint tasteful music in the background, and the promise of a few unchaste sweets to round off the night. How do you compare restaurants and takeaways and what do you look at? There are 3 factors to compare restaurants and takeaways. There are many restaurants websites out there but only one that’s worth using. Merely displaying the name, address and contacts does not even scratch the skin of what the dining industry is about. A lot more information have to be provided to make the resource useful. You’ll find them absolutely everywhere across the capital. Takeaway eateries are commonplace in just about every High Street, Parade or Station approach in the outskirts of London. But I know what you’re thinking – they all sell the same greasy food, but under a different name (often a variant of the words ‘Charcoal’, ‘Grill’, ‘Kebab’ or ‘Fish Bar’). One word comes to mind when talking about Terrace – fresh. This modest 30-seater is young, full of spirit and offers a great alternative to the usual onslaught of big-name dining franchises. Having opened only 3 months ago, it has quickly established itself in the bustling town centre of Bromley. If you’re looking for a relaxed, evening out experience, this should do just perfectly. An article about a new restaurant directory serving the South London region, that gives a great deal of information, including menus and photographs, on restaurants and takeaways. You can search by postcode and by narrowing down other useful factors... 1 | ||
