Resto 27 Le Légia, Liège

A very Belgian lunch in Liège.

Resto 26 Fumo, St Martin’s Lane

Having dropped ninety quid in an hour for just enough food for a moderately-sized couple I realised that Fumo's dictator-chic interior is funded on the rapid turnover of dictator-budgeted clients spending such sums. It was fun while it lasted there's plenty of other places around St M's L that offer a similar service at less damage to the wallet.

Resto 25 Thai Elephant, Leamington Spa

The food was good but at 30 quid a head we were paying too much for what was on affer.

Resto 24 Salt House Tapas, Liverpool

A white Rioja has enough beef to brighten up my conference pasted consciousness and we have a jolly enough time for £20 a head. Thanks Joe.

Resto 22 Vicenzo Bar, Venice

Bar Vincenzo could save your life, depending on your problem.

Resto 21 Bar da Valentino, Venice

You think you can make pizza? I’ll show you how to finish off a pizza!

Resto 20 Exquisite, Finsbury Park

The first 1/10 review of the year. I went there, now you don’t have to make the same mistake.

Resto 17 Théâtre de Poche, Montparnasse

We took the salad of the day and a big planche of cheese with a couple of glasses of Chablis on the side. The salad turned out mostly to be pesto-stirred pasta with a few bits of veg secreted within. Palatable but not exactly what we were looking for. The cheese on the other hand was five varieties of the runny shiznit with a generous helping of rustic bread alongside - definitely a better option. The wine was too warm.
