If you could eat in any restaurant right now...

[Thorilicious]

Where would it be and what would you have?
No worries about Lockdown and social distancing, or budget!
I would go to Miller and Carter and have the biggest steak I could buy, although would also be tempted with a KFC too...

I would go to my favourite tapas place in Cala Blanca in menorca

My lovely local Italian. I feel really at home there because I’ve been going for years and know all the staff, the food is lovely, it’s cozy and romantic and I just really miss their olives.

Plus, it’s local and independent I want to support local businesses as much as possible. I always made a point of it, but feel that’s even more important now.

Can I pretend I’m not pregnant? I’d be off to sushi samba to use up the voucher we got given in October. It’ll cover a lot of wine and sashimi but I found out I was pregnant a week before we were meant to go. It’s my ‘post covid post birth’ thing to look forward to...

@insancerre funny, we’ve been to Cala Blanca a couple of times. Fond memories of drinking too much sangria on the bar at the top of the cliffs! I could definitely get behind some patatas bravas in the sunshine right now...

Tbh I would choose the local pizza place I usually go to with my 2 best girlfriends. I miss them so much! Not so bothered about food as I seem to have spent most of lockdown eating .

Oooh tricky one! Either Salt In Stratford upon Avon or the Kitchin in Leith. Some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had that I would really struggle to recreate at home!

If I had to stay local, it would be my local bistrot that does an awesome surf and turf!

Our local little Thai place- tempura vegetables with sweet chilli dip, Thai green veg curry and coconut pancakes with ice cream 😍

Zizzi.

I have gift vouchers getting ever closer to expiry

Also Miller and Carter for us. Can't wait!

An Indian restaurant, for some reason Indian always tastes better in the restaurant than as a takeaway. I think it's all the little extras you get like the carousel thing of different dips for your poppadoms.

Aha! I'm going to need to get the next Eurostar from Ebbsfleet to be in Paris in time for my reservation at Alcazar.

A local country pub, would probably have a chicken pie.

Dolphins in Kefalonia

My favourite Italian pizzeria for one of their huge pizzas.

My favourite Spanish steak house for one of their incredible t bones with all the sides.

My favourite Chinese place for their weeknight special which is very tasty and incredible value.

An excellent seafood restaurant for everything on the menu.

My favourite Thai for their starter platter, a soup and a their fantastic red curry.

One of the local curry houses that does really interesting and unusual dishes from various regions in India.

Our local burger place (they also do an amazing peri peri chicken).

KFC.

Turkish Kebab shop.

Wish we had Korean and Japanese nearby.

Can’t choose, must have them all.

San Carlo for me 😍

Local coffee shop. The owner is so creative.and makes delicious lunches, which are different every day. His coffee is superb and the homemade cakes are to die for. Hmmmmm......

@Ninkanink you're in Mr Creosote territory

The Night Owl, Corfu...

Wagamama.

Chicken and prawn pad Thai.

Posh - The Ivy, Manchester

Slightly less posh - Bull & Bear, Manchester

Home town - local Italian

Family - nice country pub near us

Comfort - amazing burger place near us

Afternoon tea - lovely bistro near us

Our local Italian. My dh took me there for first date so it is special to us. We know the owner well and the food is to die for. I wish they were taking bookings again or even takeaway.

Local Indian. However, I have been pleasantly surprised at the amount of money I have saved during the lockdown and intend on eating out far less in the future.

We had a table booked at Le Gavroche for my April birthday, that was obviously cancelled then reschduled to early July. We've just had a call to cancel that booking too. We can rebook for late July. Thinking about pushing to September/October time to give us something to look forward to/chances to be less worried about gettnig the train to London.

I bloody love Michel Roux Jr, I've eaten at Le Gavroche before and it was soooo good. I was so looking forward to it.

Hawksmoor - we had booked for my birthday next week (as is the tradition) to pig out on steak and wine but it's not happening, I'm gutted!

Local Italian, their garlic bread & mozzarella is to die for, plus the Chicken Valdostana which is Chicken with tomato based sauce, with mozzarella & ham with roasties and veg, washed down by a bottle of rose.
God knows when this will happen as they have the smallest restaurant ever, social distancing would not be possible. 😒
