What Restaurant did you eat at last night?
- Thread starter physichull
- Start date
But most importantly, did you get a Shaky Pete to start?
I like the food and vibe at the London Dishoom's I've been to but I can't stand their faux-queuing system. I used to walk past the Covent Garden one every evening and there was always a queue of 30+ people outside. I've been before, been told to wait, and got into a half-empty restaurant. I've also been at totally random times like 4pm on a Sunday and told there was a 40mins wait
They definitely engineer the queue to make them seem more popular.Had lunch at Alchemilla last week for our anniversary.
It was very good. I can't help but compare it to Sat Bains though and it just isn't as good. Which is perhaps unfair as Alchemilla is very good, but the overall experience, service, ambience, flavours and everything is just that notch better at SB, and there's not a huge amount of difference in price.

Bit of a trip report for Copenhagen. Took the wife over to Copenhagen for the Xmas markets this weekend and it was a delightful experience. If you love seafood then Copenhagen has to be on your bucket list. A city steeped in history anyway onto the food.
Warpigs Microbrewery and Texas BBQ - Copenhagen
One of the places we was recommended going to was Warpigs Micro Brewery and Texas BBQ, This hidden gem is just on the outskirts of the main shopping district and Tivoli gardens. If you like BBQ cooked by honest chef's who really really know their craft then this is a must visit place if you goto Copenhagen. Located on an industrial estate its a big old building with a walk in policy. Tables can only be booked for parties of 6 or more. The opening times are good with the doors opening up at around 12.00am till around 24.00 weekdays and 02:00 at weekends.
As you would expect it has a real hipster vibe and on show was some of the finest moustaches in Copenhagen
I went for the mixed plate which had Pulled Pork, Brisket, Texas Hotlinks and some wings served with a choice of two sides from the house potato salad, Texas Beans, Macaroni Cheese and the House Coleslaw. Mrs L went for the Pulled pork Brioche along with potato salad and 1/4lb of Brisket.
The food was extremely well cooked and have to say as good (and in most cases better) than any Texas BBQ I have had in the UK. Smoky, tasty, rich in flavour, well cooked, well presented. It looks like the menu is pretty consistent but once it's gone, it's gone. Warpigs has a really outstanding selection of Beers and IPA's (Safe to Say the Dane's love their strong Ale) The venue is authentic service is great. Also a very honourable mention to their curated Spotify Play list, perfect for the venue and the vibe
Given the prices in some of the restaurants in Copenhagen, we was surprised at how good value it was. A little bit of a trek depending on where you are staying but me and the Mrs L love walking. Two very good portions of well cooked food and a few beers for just under £50.
Easy give this place and our experience 9/10

Very little can compare to Restaurant Sat Bains but I do think Alchemilla isn't a million miles away. You can tell that Alex Bond worked for Sat previously, I find a lot of RSB notes in Alchemilla but the key difference for me is that I've never had a dish at RSB that was a miss whereas I've had a couple at Alchemilla.
Personal taste comes in to it of course, but the first time we went to Alchemilla there was a dessert (chocolate, I think) that had a slice of white truffle on it. I don't like truffles much, I find they overpower everything so I took the truffle off. Even having done that the dessert tasted of nothing but truffle. A big miss for me.
