Food and Drink - Marrakech Ave Restaurant, Princes Avenue By Ibi Alaiyemola
|
|
Previously Ceasers delicatessen, it has had a refurb and is now a restaurant with an eastern feel in the decor. I have visited a few times with family and other friends too had enjoyed themselves there when it first reopened so for a friend's birthday a group of seven of us booked a table for 9pm, had a few drinks in the bars and were all ready for a great meal.

Food and Drink - Chill, Newland Avenue By Michael Code
|
|
"Oh my God, those dogs looked so real!" - you will hear everyone squeal when they
first walk into Chill, which used to be known as The Hub.
With its funky chairs and bohemian layout at the entrance, you'd be forgiven if
you think that this place is one of the many coffee houses that litter the streets
of Newland Avenue, but it isn't.

Food and Drink - The Nest Café, Princes Avenue By Fiona Carr
|
|
Dropping something off at a friend's one morning I finally decided to try the 'little sister'
to the Boar's Nest and have a breakfast.
Long an admirer of this building when it was a butchers, I had taken an interest in the conversion but never got around to eating there.
The full breakfast was ordered and a cup of herbal tea. Despite the weather I decided to sit outside,

Food and Drink - Sleepers Bar, Newland Avenue By Fiona Carr
|
|
Recently under new ownership this has gone from a shaky start as one of the first
cafe bars on Newland, rather than the already chi chi Princes Ave, to an
established favourite for the discerning.
On a whim, my somewhat dizzy companion and I just turned up for a mulled wine.
It was buzzing with a loud but not aggressively so level

Food and Drink - Revolution Reviewed by Matthew Wilson
|
|
After seeing the 15 minute promise posters in the window of Revolution every day for a couple of weeks, I decided to go in and put them to the test. The deal is, if your food takes longer than 15 minutes from when you order to when it appears on your table, you get it for free. So upon entering, my wife and I were told by a friendly young lady to take a seat.

Date 25th November. Party of 14. Table for 8pm.
When we turned up it was very busy.

We did not have enough tables, I had to sit on the corner of a table and eat my starter.
It was not until I spoke to the Manager that they increased our tables by 1.
He told me; all you had to do was ASK!
