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
Jamin Glenn reviewed French Cooking School
I am an amateur culinary enthusiast and finally decided to take a more formal culinary course to hone my skills. I also wanted to get some advice from a real chef, so this was my first foray into the world of culinary institutions and I wasn't really sure what to expect. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision with Poul's French Dining School in Brittany. First off, Poul is an extremely good chef, amazing teacher and is filled with a wealth of knowledge of all things food and the restaurant business in general. Second, Poul and Niall are the most generous hosts and genuine people I have ever met. Conversation was never dull and my drink was never dry. Lastly, I would be hard pressed to find a more gorgeous home and kitchen. It has all the feel and authenticity you would expect from a 15th century home in the Bretagne countryside, yet with all the amenities of the 21st century. Whether you are a novice or experienced chef you will learn something here and have an amazing experience in the process, I can guarantee it. I'll certainly be coming back for more. Highly recommend A
Ray Walsh reviewed Ital'Burger
Stumbled upon this place and it found itself in the right place at the right time for us.
We worked it out after dinner; the name Ital’Burger referenced the Pizza Bread Bun, which I must say was a surprise and a nice spin on your typical burger. The patty wasn’t anything special, usual regular ground beef (no chuck or brisket mixed in) but it was ample, well cooked and juicy, and the accompaniment were all Italian style with mozzarella cheese, roasted red peppers and a slice of Bresola. in all it made for a burger than I wouldn’t ordinarily choose but thoroughly enjoyed and left me satisfied.
I found the staff to be very welcoming and attentive, we had children and they ensured they didn’t wait too long for food. Ambience and decor was cool with movie themes throughout.
In all a present experience at a reasonable price and I would recommend.
Dan Beames reviewed Buffalo Grill Bourgoin Jallieu
I had the misfortune to recommend this restaurant chain to friends having eaten in another Buffalo Grill, this was a mistake. Service was very slow, cutlery and glasses were visibly dirty, the tapas starter was soggy and dry at the same time (which isn’t an easy thing to achieve), the steak was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside and the salad was a few leaves tucked under the steak.l which meant it was partially cooked, like the steak. One positive was the beer was cold but it took such a long time to reach the table that my mouth was so dry from the starter that it had little affect.
If it was possible to give this restaurant zero stars I would. Awful.
