To travel to Bristol just to ...

[GingerMaman]

eat (again) the tastiest dessert I've ever had.

Three hour journey away.

Should I?

Do it! And tell me where it is! I am in Bristol and like dessert!

What was it? It will be a very expensive dessert so needs to be worth it.

Well what was it? Don't give us half the story!

Tell me where and what and I'll post you one

More details please...

YABVU not to tell us what it is.

I'm only 30 miles from Bristol. Got nothing particular to do tomorrow. Could easily saunter down that way.

Sorry folks!

It was a creme brulee with pistachio biscotti. It was completely yummy!

Here's the link to the restaurant: www.doylecollection.com/hotels/the-bristol-hotel/dining#dining-block-2587

Oh gosh, like an idiot I now go to the restaurant website to see if they've still got in on the menu, and it's not there!!! but there is a raspberry creme brulee on their lounge menu, and hey there is a creme brulee on their Sunday menu! Phew, hopefully it's the same one ...

Oh no, now I'm feeling the pressure of others trying it out and not living up to anyone's expectations ... worried smile

So it may or may not even be on the menu? FFS, does it exist or what?

If I go there tmrw and it's not there, or - even worse - they have it but it ain't all that, I will start the thread to end all threads about it and you will never be allowed back into AIBU ever again, you hear?

puntastic,

And what happens if its the best dessert you've ever tasted, or close to it?

I'm really feeling for some ....

I might have to try that during my next trip to Bristol!

OP YANBU

I went a similar distance, but on a very cheap train ticket, more or less just to go to Wahaca. I did a little bit of sightseeing while I was in London, but nothing I hadn't seen before.

Onllkey, what did you have from wahaka?

I have a wahaka close by

Ooh - we're getting a Wahaca near us soon! What do you recommend?

Ginger I went ages ago, when there was only one of them. Tommi Miers was sat on the next table. I know its her restaurant and she's probably there all the time but .

I had the chorizo and potato quesadillas and something else I can't remember. Probably involved pulled pork and guacamole.

Its one of those places where I can never choose as there's about 20 things on the menu that I'd like to eat.

If you're going in a group, I would get a selection of street food small plates and sides and share it between everyone.

Ginger well the trouble now, is how can any pudding possibly live up to such expectations...?

Onllkey, I had no idea it was tommi miers. I've been twice for work and stayed at the hotel. I got fish And chips and rather embarrassingly asked them if they could serve me normal chips instead of the posh chips/potato they had on the menu. Lovely view from the restaurant too on to the river/harbour. Good pre-baby days!

Puntastic, if you manage to get hold of one, make sure you take a pic and give us a review

Sorry Ginger, I was talking about Wahaca, which is owned by Tommi Miers, not your posh pud hotel.

I looked at the hotel menu, the afternoon tea looks gorgeous

YABU. Go for this as well:

(Will only happen if enough people pledge money for it)

Aah ok! Going to plan a trip to wahaca now instead of Bristol ...

Michael, sorry missed your message earlier, what a generous offer indeed (and tempting!)

Giant waterside?! I'm on my way ....

Is there still a Coleys Supper Room in Bristol? Pigoutastic!
