Restaurant Recommendation Thread - Anyone for seconds?

Tried Proby's kitchen (from the people who have Liberty Grill and Gusto) for lunch today. The cafe section with weekday lunch menu is recently opened. Think they've being doing weekend breakfast and brunch on the terrace and for delivery for a while. I really like the menu options. A bit different with something for most tastes I'd say. I had the quiche with added grain salad and it was really good. Good and friendly service. The room is comfortable enough and was lovely and warm today even though it's a bit of a big space. Their brunch menu looks interesting so I'd go back to try that on a weekend. Hope they make a go of it. Prices are a bit on the steep side but par for the course these days...

I've tried their falafel wrap twice in the last month. Both times it was a takeaway. It is not worth the €14.50 I paid. I won't be returning. Good luck to them.

This is the assembly rooms that someone was confusing with Jacobs.

It seems that it was a cinema but not, as I suggested, a Turkish baths.

That ever changing Chinese vape shop/Chinese supermarket/sometimes restaurant at the top of Paul Street where Natural Foods was had a Korean restaurant upstairs, now. Haven't tried it yet.

The Kyber grill and Café opened today. I'm not quite clear what they will be serving. Guy mentioned grill and different Asian food, including Indian and Pakistani.

Coffee and pastries in the mornings and early afternoons.

The pitta takes up more than half the plate.

It's €15 for half a cup of rice, 2 meat sticks, some hummus and a very small salad. €15 is a lot of money for that amount of food.

On my part, it's not that portion size = value/quality.I appreciate that isn't going to come across in my posts.

For the record, I love kebabs. Also, Istanbul is my favourite.

My point was that it was effectively €3 of food selling for €15 (yes, I know there are also overheads in the running of a restaurant). I don't see what they could have done to the food to warrant that price.

I previously posted about having eaten from Izz Cafe twice; their Falafel wrap is huge, and it's €14.50. In that instance, the quality in no way justifies the price.

Hard to argue with that!

No prices on Quinlan's menu outside the door. Very annoying. Who do they think they are? 5 Star Michelin spot in Paris?

Was starved but said feck that and walked away. Why would you bother.

Went to Bocelli tonight for dinner with a few friends and I have to say it was a really bad experience. The place was rammed and I genuinely mean that, you couldn't move. We were a party of 5 and were seated at a small table for 4 down the back next to two large groups. The noise levels were so bad that you couldn't have a conversation and had to shout to be heard. At one table someone had to go to the bathroom so about six people had to get out of their seats so that she could get out and again when she came back. We left after the main course as we just couldn't stick it. I did complain to the manager on the way out and he just stated that we could have asked to move tables but there wasn't a free table in the place so I've no idea how that would have worked. I firmly believe that they were well over legal capacity and whilst I'm aware that the hospitality industry is not in great shape at the moment and this is the season where they can make a bit of money this was just a stretch too far. I dread to think what would have happened in the event of a fire. Food was ok, I didn't particularly like mine but I'm not a fan of Italian food anyway so I'm not best placed to judge and the others liked theirs. Waitress was nice and to be honest I felt a bit sorry for the staff as they were run off their feet.

Definitely would not return.

Eco would be positively spacious in comparison. A couple of our party had been there (Bocelli) on several occasions and said that they had definitely put in a lot of extra tables. Hard to explain but it definitely looked like it was over capacity.

Certainly over capacity for customer comfort, anyway.

People are going to think I either own it or work there at this rate but another great trip to pigalle Friday night! I can never fault the place. Everything is divine there and the service is so good.
