Advantages: Good value afternoon tea Disadvantages: Slow service
Recently one of my favourite things is afternoon tea. You would think that living in London it would be easy to find somewhere to have tea and scones. Living in London it is usually fairly easy to find whatever food I feel like eating, no matter how exotic that food is but it seems that finding somewhere where you can have afternoon tea that doesn't cost upwards of £25 is close to impossible! I was even considering paying the £38 that it costs to have afternoon tea at the ritz but fortunately before I managed to book a table a friend of mine suggested we have afternoon tea at Browns. I agreed, thinking that she meant the hotel and that I would still be paying over £30 for tea. Fortunately the place she had in mind was BrownsRestaurant and Bar, not Browns hotel.
It has now become a regular thing for me and my friend to meet ...
Advantages: great service and nice atmposphere Disadvantages: can get busy
A friend and I met for lunch at Ocean Terminal in Edinburgh. We decided to go to Ma Potters Chargrill which is on the second floor of the centre and is accessible, by escalators, stairs or by the lift.
As you approach the restuarant, which is not behind glass, you get the delicious aromas of the food! MMMMM we thought.
We walked into the pleasantly decorated restaurant and within seconds were seated before even reaching the 'Please wait here to be seated' sign. We got a table right next to the window which overlooks the water and the Royal Ship Britania! It is lovely to sit here and watch the ships sailing on the water or just to look at the Britania.
We had menus placed on the table, so we got settled and started to look at what to have. There is a variet of toasties like cheese and tuna, Paninis with bacon lettuce ...
Advantages: Nice setting, quick service Disadvantages: rubbish food, dirty toilets
After failing to get a seat at our first choice restaurant we decided to try Ma potters in Edinburgh. We were seated very quickly at a nice table by the window overlooking the royal yacht brittania. I orderded the scampi and chips and my wife went for the fish and chips. The food came 20 minutes later but as soon as we saw the plates we knew it was a BIG mistake to come here. There were around 10 undercooked chips on each plate, the mushy peas were like baby food, the fish was tiny and looked like it had been cooked hours before and reheated and the scampi was more like frozen supermarket quality certainly not fresh. We will never go here again and highly recommend that nobody else does!!!!! ...
