Za Za Bazar on the harbourside do a decent value all-you-can-eat buffet. Lots to choose from. https://www.zazabazaar.com/ And Casa Brasil in Cabot Circus https://www.casabrasilrestaurants.co.uk/our-menus Edited May 11, 2023 by CyderInACan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite an experience!Casa Brasil looks quite interesting. To be honest,it is not so much the volume of food that I am looking for,more a place where we can go for a good few hours of steady grazing and drinking. Will definitely look into Casa Brasil though.

Surprise tasting menu sounds fun You're in for an absolute treat, chef. Gordon was front and centre at the kitchen and on service. He doesn't take any shit. My missus had an existential crisis about eating a homemade black pudding, which was accompanying a beautiful portion of suckling pig, for some reason. Gordon's response "nay pudding for you!" It's firmly in the "eat what you get" style of tasting menu, but everything was on point and I would HIGHLY recommend the wine flight. I got to taste some truly unique wines, that were paired beautifully with each dish. Canadian ice wine, anyone??! I won't go into any more detail on the dishes to ruin any surprises, though by all accounts he changes up the menu regularly with seasonal produce. Service was really friendly (Gordon's other half) and overall I'm putting this in the top three meals I've ever eaten out. Enjoy mate!

Might have to give it a go in the future. Got introduced to Canadian Ice wine when I first worked and lived in Canada. I'm guessing you had it with your dessert? Hardly heard of over here. We used to have an Ice wine festival and food and wine festival where I lived in Canada. https://www.sunpeaksresort.com/explore/stories-inspiration/a-winter-of-wine-in-sun-peaks Surprising how many Canadian wineries there are. Did they explain how the Ice Wine was made? It's an unusual process. Frozen grapes basically. Thanks again for the review. Sounds great.

Yes, missus Jones explained how ice wine was made and even went as far as to say Canadian wine was her favourite on the planet. I'd never heard anyone say that before and it was clear she really knew her stuff. The ice wine was absolutely gorgeous and a perfect accompaniment with the dessert. It was so good I nearly ordered another glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if he has a connection to Canada, he had a thick Scottish accent. I'll definitely be seeking out some Canadian ice wine in future. I'm a big Pedro Ximenez fan for dessert but this topped it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 3 meals as well, woahhhhh. Thanks loads for reporting back Can’t bloody wait! Also going to Cor on the same day for lunch, so an absolute food bonanza for me that day I’m leaving Kiln in Soho early next month (banger of a restaurant if anyone hasn’t been yet) so looking forward to having a life again and eating out at some other places 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
