    My wife and I went to Glasgow a couple of weeks ago. One night we ate at Gandalfi Fish, in the Merchant City area. Apparently this is a bit of a Glasgow institute and I can see why, because it was really good. Very interesting and varied menu.
    I had Cullen Skink followed by Salmon Wellington - both excellent and very filling. Finished with a tasty Crème Brulee. Other half had Salt & Pepper Squid and then Sea Bass.
    If you're visiting Glasgow and like fish this place is well worth a visit

    Spoke to the Waterside. Following Coreb's review they've had to take Satdays off of the booking website for the forseeable.

    Chuffed for 'em.

    Sounds a good place. Also add Roganos! Another Glasgow institution. This will sound pretentious but the oyster bar is more fun than the restaurant. You can't book but put put your name down for a booth when you go in. Great night

    Went to Leeds for lunch today with a group of former colleagues. We went to Brasserie Blanc. We all opted for the fixed price menu - 2 courses £12.95 and 3 for £15.95. I thought that was excellent value and the food was a good standard too. My main of chicken with a Moroccan chermoula stuffing was very acceptable. Particularly liked my pud of Sicilian orange cake.
    The service was very good. One of our party has Coeliac disease and must avoid gluten. The person who showed us to our table brought her a special menu but she ordered from the fixed price one when the waiter came round. He noticed when he gathered up the menus that 1 of them was the gluten free one and double checked that there wasn't a problem as nobody had mentioned a gluten free requirement to him. I thought that showed real attention to the needs of customers.

    Ate at Elder again last night in the Piece Hall. Bang on.

    Sat up at the kitchen counter. Am sure chefs really love idiots like me watching them work...

    Just come across this thread and I second this - the fixed price lunch menu is incredibly good value given many of the dishes are lifted straight from the a la carte menu. Well worth it given its only a few quid more than some of the more standard chains e.g nandos but far far better food

    Nandos as a chain smashed it really. I'm not entirely sure why/how. Even the one by city square is busy.

    Malt Shovel, Harden - went on Sunday, really nice pub grub and not too expensive at all. Busy but were served in decent time. Kids meals good too.

    Great walk around Goit Stock too.

    I liked it but i’m guessing i’m not as particular as others that have been. I like a good feed more than owt.
