Review of Saxon Mill
29 Apr 08, 14:33
Worth travelling to... 
Discovered this place by accident one Saturday evening when we were on the way to Warwick from Coventry, and have been back a few times since. Set in an old water Mill, the building and surroundings are impressive, and the food and service match it. Not the cheapest place to eat (expect to pay £20 - £40) per head including drinks, but the food is top quality, and the staff are a pleasure to deal with. Whatever you do, make sure you try one of the deserts, go without a starter to make room if you need to, you won't regret it...

Review of The Tower Thistle Hotel
29 Apr 08, 14:43
Great location but watch out... 
Set in a great location over looking Tower Bridge at the front, and St Katherines docks at the back, perfect for a couple of days site seeing. Not cheap though, cost me £180 for a night booking in advance through superbreak.com, and then, the receptionist upgraded my room without telling me and I had to pay an extra £50 for the privilege (did end up with a cracking room over looking Tower Bridge though)

Review of The Don

Authentic Italian
Discovered this on a weekend trip to London. Amazed to find a free table on a Saturday night without booking in advance. Excellent choice on the menu, great food, and an authentic Italian restaurant atmosphere. If you're around Tower Bridge, and what a good night out with great food, definitely recommended.

hidden gem...
At last, I've managed to find somewhere decent to eat in Coventry city centre! Hidden round the corner from Yate's, you can get good food at sensible prices, much better than any of the surrounding pubs. Can get a bit busy though, others seem to have also discovered this place...

Great Sunday Roast!
Over looking the Thames by Tower Bridge, this is a big pub/restaurant but it needs to be. Very busy but good service and excellent food, make sure yo check the specials board as I almost missed out on a great roast beef and all of the trimmings...

Review of San Carlo
29 Apr 08, 15:17
One of the best...
...Italian restaurants I've been to outside of Italy (and I've been to many). Not cheap, but then the place was full last time I went with people queuing up to eat so they have obviously aren't over charging either.

Review of The Old Joint Stock

Great Pies!
If you love real ale, and can't resist a good old fashioned pie, then this place is a must. Set in an old bank, it's worth a visit just to admire the building. It's not all about pies though, the fish and chips was great too (no I didn't have both on the same visit).

Review of Restaurant Bar A Jee

Balti with a view...
One of the better Indian restaurants in the city centre, and definitely the one with the best views - ask to sit canal side if you can. The food is up to a high standard, and they don't try to blow your head off with the strength of their curries.

Review of Indian Dream

Posh balti
A great curry house with a hint of style you wouldn't normally find at the local 'Indian'. Everything comes on fancy plates, but that hasn't been at the expense of the food quality. If you're lucky you'll even be able to get a parking space right outside the door!

Review of Tin Tin Cantonese Restaurant

Definitely recommended...
One of the best cantonese restaurants in brum - I'm making myself hungry just thinking about it! Not the cheapest out there, but you don't mind paying a bit more when you've enjoyed the food so much - if you work in Brindley Place and have a Brindley Place card you'll get a discount on certain days (can't remember when though).
