Good point well made there Pebs.
 Maybe I've just been lucky to have been brought up in France and maybe a little spoilt with my impression of a good meal, service and quality of food? What Pebs said though I can completely relate to and understand and appreciate.

I also agree with Pebs. We used to have a little pub around here like that (sadly it was 'under new management' last time I went in). And yes, I agree with the comments about American and French service too.

Hmmm, well I'd like to think I know good food, service etc if it poked me in the eye
 , just given the choice between two place with excellent food, I'd choose the casual relaxed place rather than the suited and booted place every time. A plummy waiter, dress code and second mortgage to pay the bill doesnt consitute a good evening imo. I'm not saying thats its a bad night either and if it's what you're into then fill yer boots, it's just I am equally satisfied in other settings that I don't consider inferior to posh nosh! So ner! Plus they dont do bacardi breezers and chicken nuggets. Heathens.

You make of it what you want to get out of it.
I wouldn't want to dress smartly all the time for dinner, but it's nice to make the effort from time to time.

Well I have eaten at a large number of expensive restaurants. A nice little place was called "gravy" in Chiswick and "London Brasserie" in Reading. It is overrated though for one person dining alone :/ Heading out for a meal with friends with _good_ wine is much much more rewarding. I tend to head out with a friend every few weeks and have a meal out.

I've never eaten at a fancy restuarant so I don't know.

Spend some time in France - it's part and parcel of life there

I haven't been out for posh nosh in yonks actually. I think that needs to be changed! *ahem* hint picky hint *ahem* Mebbe next time we see it could be arranged?!  Aww my dream meal... and this will sound so corny but I really don't care... is to have a posh nosh slap up meal (probably sushi sort of food) and in the middle of it... have a barber shop quartet come in and sing for me!! I'd love it! LOADS! I wouldn't stop laughing at all! Hehehehehe! |
