Well for Valentines Day, me and my husband went for a meal at Dil Se, in Radcliffe near Bury. Before going i had a dodgy stomach and was contemplating cancelling our meal. After working a stressful week i thought screw it we’re going! We were booked in for 8:oopm so we got there about 7:50 so we could settle down and get ourselves a drink.The pleasant waitress took us to our seats and got us our drinks, mine was a bottle of wine, hubbies was a pint of lager.

It was a set menu but you had a choice of about 3 starters, 5 main and about 3 desserts. We both ordered the same starter which was a lamb kebab, this chicken thing, and some salad. It was delicious especially the kebab. The waiter then asked us if we were ready for our main, but my stomach was griping yet again so we asked if we could wait a few minutes, so the waiter was very nice and said he would come back in a few minutes. So after about 10 minutes our main arrived and boy was there alot! I ordered the chefs special, and my husband ordered the chicken korai. We both tried each others curries, and they were both really nice but mine could have done with a bit more kick. I’m used to having korai’s and they seem to be a bit hotter than the chefs special.

With my stomach being off we didn’t get to have our sweet which was a a heart shaped ice cream and a lovely box of chocolates. We explained to the waiter the situation with my stomach and they were nice enough to give us our sweet in a bag and take it home. Ha ha i bet they were glad to see the back of me! Not because i could have been seen as a bad advert,with the stomach,  but because when i went to the toilet in between starter and main, i didn’t realise that my skirt was stuck in my knickers and i only realised when i got home!! NICE!

To sum up our meal at Dil Se, i would have to say it was very nice, service was good, maybe the music could have been a bit louder for a bit more atmosphere. I would say thumbs up!

Having just booked a Christmas lunch for a few friends I thought you would all like to know a few good restaurants in Manchester. Many of you will be going out around Christmas time even though there is a credit crunch on. The Favorite locations are The Printworks, The gay village or the Triangle. But trying to find a good restaurant that is nearby one of those 3 location without trudging across Manchester city centre is quite hard but I will help you. So here goes location number 1

The Printworks

Within 0.2 miles of the printworks you have the Wagamama – Printworks serving up trendy  Japanese style cuisine. Market Restaurant a small friendly restaurant in the Northern Quarter of Manchester and Stock Restaurant Housed within the Edwardian splendour of Manchester’s former Stock Exchange, STOCK has rapidly become renowned as the city’s premier Italian Restaurant.

The Gay Village

Within 0.15 miles we have 9 restaurants mainly because the location is quite close to china town but there are a few other restaurants in Chinese is not to your fancy. Brasserie on Portland 0.1 miles from the Gay village which is a Modern European Restaurant. Why not try Che Tapas Bar Club Spanish Restaurant which is still only 0.15 miles away. The nearest to Canal st is New Samsi Japanese Restaurant which is only a stones throw away.

Finally we have:

The Triangle

With the triangle right next door to the printworks why not go there for food.

Thanks and I hope this has help you with all your Manchester city centre restaurants.

If you are look to visit  london over the next few week and are look to dine out then here are a few restaurants in london.

Brackenbury

The Brackenbury is a local treasure. Tucked away down a leafy West London side street it offers gourmet food at ridiculously reasonable prices. A timely overhaul of the once lurid interior has created a wonderfully soothing space where locals and BBC glitterati come to bask in the intimate vibe. Menus change seasonally and the friendly owner ensures that only the freshest ingredients find their way into her kitchen.

The Savoy Grill

The Savoy Grill virtually never closes. Furthermore, the simple but perfectly sourced, steak meals are the ideal restorative after a hard party the night before, and their barman makes one of the best Bloody Mary’s in the world. Take shelter from the elements and give your body and senses a treat with a blow-out at the Grill. By the time coffee and dessert arrives, you’ll feel ready to take on the world.

Giardinetto Restaurant

Discreetly tucked away, just off Piccadilly, Giardinetto oozes exclusivity and sophistication. With its frosted glass windows, automated entry system and slick attentive service this restaurant fits seamlessly into its Mayfair location – a definite improvement on its previous basement premises in Charlotte Street. Despite the move across town, Head Chef Maurizio Vilona continues to offer Ligurian specialities, as well as classic Italian dishes with a twist.

Shanghai Blues

Cross the threshold of Shanghai Blues and plunge into its dimly lit innards. Nattily dressed oriental waitresses guide you through the solid lines of its dark, distinctive interior. Touches like the weighty blue stools and the elliptical tumblers demonstrate the lavish attention to detail.

Taste bud priming entrées including crunchy chick peas, pickled cucumbers and classic prawn crackers lead the way for the diverse and reputation-deserving Dim Sum.
