Train à Sushi ce soir, accueil médiocre, l’ambiance était délétère entre les personnes de la même famille qui y travaillent, presque désolé d’être là, place imposé, ici - pas ailleurs, nous dit la serveuse.. qui nous donne envie de fuir de suite.
Donc installer en bout de ligne - choix médiocre forcément, lorsque l’on demande quelque chose on se fait répondre avec une impolitesse royale et le tout pour 23,8 - pour 15 sushi de qualité moyenne dont 10 par non choix et 50 qui tournent pendant 1h30 que personne ne veut et 3 sashimi en bataille après avoir demandé trois fois... Au moment du paiement, nous disons que nous sommes déçus ce soir, ils se permettent de bouder et de dire il fallait réserver - en gros - vous mangerez les restes si vous ne réservez pas.
Apparement, le confinement n’a pas fait assez de mal à ce type de propriétaire impoli qui se cogne royalement des clients. 0 étoile mérité- Je n’y remettrais plus les pieds.
Imogen McGuigan reviewed Black Bear Burger Restaurant Shoreditch
Can. Not. Speak highly enough about Black Bear burger. My partner and I first discovered them a couple of years ago on a date night at box park. We'd had a couple of beers and fancied a burger that tasted half as good as the aroma coming from black bear smelled. We met Stew and Katie who were so lovely and spent a good 10 minutes having a natter while we did a couple of ski shots... may have been Canadian club with maple syrup? Absolutely delicious. Well, we thought it might have been the booze that made it so so tasty but how wrong we were.. we've Been back 4 or 5 times and been served by other staff members and every time we've enjoyed that same consistent burger, as high quality as the last. We always mix it up a bit, a brisket burger or the beef shim nuggets (to die for) but you cannot beat the classic so when lockdown came around and we had to take our date night's at home, I was delighted to see BBB were offering DIY kits and they didn't disappoint. I can guarantee you will not find a better burger in London. Bleecker is a close second but why settle for second? Love love loved it, see you next time when we hope to visit the Brixton restaurant x
Lorraine Barnard reviewed French Cooking School
Our sincere thanks to Poul and Niall for an incredible week of fabulous food and great cooking experiences in a wonderful homely atmosphere. As a family of keen cooks and diners not only did we learn how to put together some amazing menus, balance flavours, new cooking techniques and efficient use of many varied ingredients but most importantly had lots of fun in a relaxed environment. Paul is a fountain of knowledge and has an amazing and practical approach to cooking in which food and flavours are celebrated and enjoyed with the greatest of ease. We would highly recommend and endorse the French Dining School to anyone who shares a passion for cooking and fine food.
