Best thing you've have ever eaten and where?

Two things with the one meal.
Steak medium done in a special wine sauce and to follow up a type of French ice cream on an apple tart portion.
Gawd I was in heaven.
Location: Nice, Southern France.

OPPS!

Mint Sauce

Takeaway wise. A Doner Kebab in a sidestreet takeaway in Lyon. A hollowed out peice of flat bread, insides smeered with chilli and garlic sauce, before being stuffed with the doner meat and salad.

Restrarant wise. A meal called an Elephants Ear. A 12oz steak, served on a bed of champ, with side of chips, peas, onion rings, pepersauce, and garlic bread. At the Abbey Hotel Restrarant in Donegal Town.

A monstrous doner kebab













(In a filthy little kebab shop in the RLD.)

Standard Toaster

Happy Meal with extra nuggets in O'Connell St McDonalds back in 1988
I got a 'Young Einstein' action figure which when I think about it, was pointless.

There is a place in town that I'm too mean to mention =P that does the best Italian food ever. The wine is amazing, and whenever we show up, regardless of how busy they are, and people being turned away, they always find us a table. Overdue a visit tbh

That post gave me a nice mental image. Hope you didnt go all Lady & The Tramp while eating with the cat though.

No:D He sat on my lap while I ate the toast, I was wearing only boxers at the time though, which, on reflection, was a bit strange. It was all totally innocent though!

Crackbird, the pop up chicken restaurant that's gone now. Got tweet seats too which made it all the tastier! So sad it's gone

At Marlay Park last year (Green Day) I had this Chicken Nachos dish, with a creamy sauce of some kind, from this mobile catering guy:

Was like eating heaven off a paper plate.

I can't actually remember what I had, but I know it was Chinese food. In a really fancy Chinese restaurant in Seychelles. Made better by the fact that it was only about 300 rupees (about €15 euro), and this was very expensive for Seychelles.

God I loved that country. You'd get drunk on a tenner.

小籠包(A soup filled dumpling) in Taiwan, absolutely amazing if you are into that kind of thing.

Disleksic

Tagine with chicken (I hope) in Essaouira, Morocco. So nice I had it every day for a week.

Potatoe skins with garlic mayo, cheese and bacon bits. In Padraicins in Furbo

MungBean

Lamb in prune sauce (cant remember the actual dish name) in a Moroccan restaurant in Belgium. First and only meal that actually blew me away.

Jan_Itor

King Creole with cheese at KC's in Douglas!

chalkitdown

Salt baked sea bass.... wherever you can find it.

Larianne

Anything from The Windsor in Dundalk.

Superbus

8 courses without a menu (couldn't tell you what I was eating) in a restaurant in Rocamadour, which happens to also be the nicest place I've ever been.

More regularly attainable - Diep Spring Rolls. Life-changingly good.

Savage Tyrant

Roast suckling piglet in Santa Ponsa last year... Had it 4 times in my 10 day holiday. Heaven on a plate.

ItIsNotGrand! You've got to pay more attention. Perhaps you've been chopping onions

Chicken fillet burger in Eddie Rockets!
Also the same in TGI's (although the one I'm reffering to doesn't exist anymore)

Both of the above would be nothing without the sauce though.

Homemade Shepard's Pie (actually cottage pie, but we say the wrong name in Ireland!), and homemade lasagna from scratch.

Pretty much any chocolate dish, especially if it's warm and sticky and melty.

I'm quite simple in my tastes really!

Proper Florentine steak, in a tiny little restaurant in Florence.
So simple to do, very few fancy ingredients, and absolutely gorgeous!

Ah shure 'tis the simple food that is the best imo. It's more than the food for me. The emotions and people are as much a contribution as the food as regards having a good meal. (Cubes of basil jelly? on a plate of lego food? GTFOimo).

My Ma's Christmas dinner by a country mile for me. Turkey, glazed ham, bread stuffin, roast & boiled 'taters, a selection of roast vegetables, peas, home made gravy - oh ffs pure food hapiness.

Oh Lordy...

Ooooooh, good question.

It is a tie between a rack of Connemara lamb with Rosemary and red wine jus.

Or,

Lobester and chorizo Paella in Valencia.

Im drooling like the dog now!

Creme Brulee in The Church restaurant - literally brought tears to my eyes!

LenaClaire

The two best meals I remember. One was bacon and cabbage with mash at this tiny little restaurant near Glencolumbkille and the other was scallop risotto and creme brulee in Paris.

Both were so good I wanted them to last forever

Jagera

Open Lobster Lasagne in a small village called Sonning, along the Thames, in around 2003

The pasta sheets were freshly made, and it had big chunks of fresh lobster in a cream sauce. Accompanied by a glass or two of nice plonk.

EDIT - to keep the creme brulee theme going. another local restaurant does a cracker.

Years ago when I lived in London we went Xmas shopping in Wood Green. Lunchtime everywhere was packed so we found a little cafe down a side street - seems the stall holders used it.

Tiny place, formica tables etc. Ordered fried eggs, chips, beans, tea and bread & butter (as you do). Guy behind the counter cooking was wearing one of those blue overalls and had a cig hanging out of his mouth. The white mugs for the tea were chipped and cracked. However, it was the best grub I have ever had!!

stampydmonkey

Local lamb, roasted with traditional Irish herbs and sliced potato, served with wild crab apple jelly - Oscars in Galway.

Or any of the pizzas from Bistro Bianconi in Sligo - makes my mouth water thinking about them...

Top of the list has to be Mixed Doner - Charcoal Grill 4am Galway. So bad but sooo good! You'd need a shower after eating one

Lustrum

Kobe beef in....

Kobe Japan. Definitely worth the money, the best meat I've ever eaten

A little Vietnamese café in Perth had the nicest food I have ever eaten. There was never anyone in it and it shut down after a few weeks, shame

My first bowl of chowder in a pub in Clifden. It was sublime, full of fish and crab claws. Never had anything like it before or since

jaysus hard to know where to start :

creamy Scallops with Mushrooms (Pasta frescha dublin)
Cajun Style chicken , the windsor restaurant in Dundalk

dreamy indonesian randang at the Carmel restuarant in Bali (actually everything I ate in Bali was divine )

mandariin style chinese duck , royal plaza hotel in Hong kong

Chocolate Brownies n Ice cream , Hard-rock Cafe in Barcelona
to name a few
