Favorite Restaurants


MoVida in Melbourne is just sensational. Have a look at their website http://www.movida.com.au/. Bought their recently published cook book last week, and WOW!!! Not only great recipes, but just a good read as well...


Central Jersey:  In Somerville, try Yutaka  for excellent Japanese food.  You  may opt for a traditional table or the full hibachi experience.  For Italian, try Espo's in Raritan.  Tiny, but they have the best sauce around!

Home...nothing like home cooking with the ones you love

 

My Chinese restaurant is Sunny Seafood Chinese Restaurant in Hurstville, NSW. My favourite dish is "roast duck coated with yam".

 

Mojos Tapas Bar - Overlooking Bondi Beach - packed with crowds who enjoy the happening vibe and scrumptious Spanish food while sipping Sangria. My favourite dish - grilled artichoke drizzled in lemon and olive oil which has strong flavours and a great texture.

My favourite dish - grilled artichoke drizzled in lemon and olive oil which has strong flavours and a great texture.

 

My favorite Seafood Restaurant that I make reservations every Christmas Eve is the Prawnbroker in Ft. Myers, FL. The freshest seafood and excellent service has been ongoing for over 20 years.

 

In Hanoverton, OH the Spread Eagle Tavern is a wonderful place! Delicious food and great atmosphere!

 

Should you find yourself in Darwin, Australia you need to go to the Hanuman Restaurant - delicious Thai food with a hint of India.

 

EJ'S, a new restaurant in Struthers, OH is now my favorite. Sandwiches, salads, steaks. They have it all and at very reasonable prices and excellent service.

 

Texas Roadhouse is my favorite too! Great food and a great atmosphere!

 

Without a doubt Texas Roadhouse is my favorite place to eat. There's also a wonderful breakfast place in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee that I love to eat it but I can't remember the name of it.

 

If you are ever in Montrose (East of Melbourne) I can highly recommend The Basil Leaf for excellent Thai Food at reasonable prices. You can't understand a thing the owner says, but the food is ALWAYS fabulous.

 

*h ttp://www.boudreaux_s_louisiana_kitchen.html]This is a good cajun restaurant in the city. Check it out! The food is great however the service might be a little slow...its cajun.

yes, Rusty's chicken salad is the best!The owner's son played soccer with my son and they would always bring something special to our getogethers. Mary Lou

 

 

 

 

 

I really enjoyed dinner recently at Patou on East Blvd. They have many different types of food and the preparation was wonderful. Great salads, great crabcakes. sciezadlo

 

 

 

 

The Coffee Cup over by the football stadium is a great piece of Charlotte history and has the kind of Southern food I was raised on. I even like the collard greens, which I never liked as a kid. Don't go there for ambience, great service, or gourmet faire. At lunch time it is usually very busy, and when you leave you will be full and you will smell like fried chicken:) - Chuck

 

This ethiopian restaurant off of King's Drive has a spectacular vegetarian lunch buffet Tuesdays through Thursday. Choose from a wide selection of healthy, delicious lentil dishes, rice, spicy sauces and exotic side dishes. You are welcome to grab a fork and spoon - though the traditional way to eat is with the Injera. Injera is a pancake-like bread that serves as both a utensil and dinner roll, and is delicious! - Natalie

 

*Nothing But Noodles in Stonecrest is AWESOME!

 

The Moon Under Water is St. Pete's is GREAT!!!!

 

 

The Mellow Mushroom in NoDa for great pizza and beer!

 

Olive Garden is great. I love anything italian!

 

Ditto for Olive Garden but in the DC area for seafood there's nothing better than the Chart House. There's one in Annapolis, MD and in Alexandria, VA. Both overlook the water and in Annapolis you can take the water taxi from the City Dock to the restaurant. Salad Bar's a meal in itself.

 

I love Renee's Bakery & Cafe in Canfield, Ohio. The chicken salad is the best!

 

Venice Restaurant in Winchester VA.

 

The Orchard Restaurant in Frederick.

 

The danged ole' Mighty Midget in Leesburg is the best BBQ around. Even my bud from Tejas says the ribs are great.

 

 

 

 

Love Blue Ridge Grill  in Leesburg, VA. I especially like their Brentwood Salad. The food and service are always good.

 

 

Try The Helmand Restaurant in Baltimore, MD. It is an Afghan restaurant with incredible food and authentic atmosphere. Many of the waitpeople are native Afghans with interesting stories. A favorite appetizer is the baked baby pumpkin. For the entree, try Kabuli. http://www.helmand.com/

 

Jaipur is an Indian resaurant on South Blvd. just past Tyvola intersection. It's in the shopping center with Food Lion. The storefront doesn't look like much but they have a wonderful weekend dinner buffet and a weekday lunch buffet. The menu is great too and you will have plenty for lunch the next day. Try the saag paneer (spinach w/cheese)! We usually go on Sunday nights and it's packed. I always enjoy seeing the beautiful saris that alot of the other diners are wearing.

 

ELEVEN in Pittsburgh is one of my favorite dining places. Very upscale, but keeps the concept of sustainable agriculture in mind. Wonderful service, lovely atmosphere, and great food, what could be better? For terrific Japanese food, Genji in Columbus, OH is great. Love the Yum Yum sauce. http://infogoddess-itsallaboutme2.blogspot.com/

 

 

The last restaurant I ate at was the Grand Ridge Brewery Restaurant at Mirboo North in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. If you haven't driven the Grand Ridge Rd yet, then do and the meals were fantastic. I highly recomment both the drive and the meal.

 

The Flaming Ice Cube in Boardman, OH is a great place to eat. It specializes in vegan dishes. I highly recommend the Amazing Burger!

 

 

The Galley in Morro Bay, California is the best place for seafood on the coast--Great clam chowder and fresh catch--Windows over the water--View--and a great staff! www.galleymorobay.com

 

I enjoy going to THE EUROPEAN in Spring St., Melbourne-Australia. This is a great little place.

 

Another fantastic place in Melbourne (for cheap, vego food) is The Veggie Bar on Brunswick Street.

 

SIRENS in Hobart, Tasmania is an amazing Vegan and Vegetarian place tucked away on Victoria Street. With not much of a big town feel it was quite hard to find a place which I could eat anything on the menu, not just the salad from the 'sides' selections. it was brilliant and the ambiance was enticing as well :)

 

Eating is one of my favourite occupations, and Melbourne has some great eating places. If you're into Thai food, try Sweet Basil http://www.sweetbasil.com.au/in South Yarra. Quaff http://www.quaff.net.au/ in Toorak provided terrific food and a marvellous atmosphere. For delicious Spanish tapas, head for Lola's in St Kilda, or for more tapas, but with a Middle eastern flavour, try Gas Eatery in South Melbourne.

 

Wow, where do I start? It all depends on what type of food that I'm looking for. Italian--has to be Angennetta's in Canfield OH. Comfort food or when we are travelling--Cracker Barrel. Just can't beat the chicken and dumplings. If it's Ribs or BBQ--Hickoy Rib in Salem OH. I also like Ben's Restaraunt in Berlin Center OH. I just love eating out and trying new things.==pumpkin parlour

 

East Brunswick, Victoria, Australia has some wonderful places to eat. If you want to eat dessert first try The Gelo Bar for the best gelato, cakes and coffee. If your taste turns to pizza I Carusi  is great, but you need to book as it is very busy. The best coffee in the Northern suburbs is at A Minor Place, funky, friendly and open for breakfast . And last, but not least, our local pub, The Lomond . Good food, friendly staff and lots of live music! You've missed out on Brown Sugar to say nothing of Zia Teresa's !

 

If you're in Melbourne, Australia....head straight Richmond where you'll find the fabulous Pearl restaurant....Particularly great because there's a separate vegetarian menu: Innovative cooking (not brown rice and veg!) And on't miss the Persian Fairy Floss!

 

Still in Melbourne, the inner-city area of Northcote has a superb Mediterranean/North African restaurant called Najla. A real treat to visit - especially after a late afternoon film across the street at the Westgarth Cinema.

 

For the very best Indian food- Tandoor in Toledo Ohio. Try it when you're in town!

 

For vegetarians Soul Mama in St Kilda is a great restaurant, it has panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay, you choose a plate size and then choose 4 or 5 dishes from a huge selection of hot foods and salads. Excellent desserts and fresh fruit juice combinations.

 

If you live in Melbourne, Australia (Bayside), try finz http://www.finz.com.au/ (why does add link not work for me???) for some lovely lovely fish. can also recommend bok choy (Brighton) for some excellent quality Chinese (better than the Flower Drum and a helluva lot cheaper) http://bokchoychinesecuisine.com.au/, and purpearl8 in Elwood.

 

 

Melbourne's Swanston street has this little GoGo Sushi restaurant. MelN

 

For Chocolate Lovers go to MAX BRENNER for a tantalising and chocolate filled experience! It's not too pricey and provides a variety of indulgent chocolate desserts, from chocolate waffles to souffles, to chocolate pizzas and fondue! They also have a wide variety of chocolate drinks - both hot and cold! The souffle is definitely one of my favourite desserts! The plate is served with a souffle with chocolate sauce drizzled over and across the plate. And once your fork gently digs into the centre of the souffle, you'll find a wonderful surprise as a thick, warm milk and white chocolate oozes out of the centre - absolute heaven! But be sure to have a bottle of water at hand!

 

MEXICAN- For those who appreciate authentic mexican food, I recommend Los Amigos in Johnston Street, Fitzroy (Melbourne). Try the combination platter for two, yummy! And it washes down very well with a Dos Equis Lager!

 

My favorites in San Antonio:

Zorba's Greek and Mediterranean restaurant-really good mediterranean food

Godai Sushi and Japanese Food- best sushi joint in town 3 years running

Thai Cafe- best tofu around

Fujiya- authentically San Antonio! Great Japanese food.

Blue Star Brewing Company- the food's okay but the beer is the main attraction.

(Not too sure why Niki's Tokyo Inn is even considered good, but to each his/her own).

Try Bistro Soliel in lovely little Hightstown, NJ. A great little bistro; upscale but simple food, nice atmosphere, good waitstaff. FYI- it's BYO! If you live in town, too, it's a lovely place to walk! -Sharon GR
