A Ram for All Seasons Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 La Pecora Nera (The Black Sheep) in Lucca, Italy http://www.lapecoraneralucca.it/chi-siamo/ Fantastic food at very reasonable prices in a beautiful medieval street with a stream running down the middle. All of the waiters and waitresses have Down's syndrome. They are all very friendly and really do take pride in their work. Very laid back atmosphere and great for kids. One of the best restaurants I've been to. Shame it's not called The Black and White Sheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Tom Kerridge's pub and the only Michelin two star pub in the world, for what that's worth. Really relaxed in there unlike some lesser and more pretentious eateries, with diners and staff alike Super grub - I had Tom's signature pork dish, a duck parfait starter and no idea what desert as we were all half cut by then. Great company too as was with my fairer half and 4 of my closest friends, but quite a hefty bill, it has to be said. It was my mate Tallerboy's 40th if I recall and we spent around £100 per head. Mate's other half stumped up for 3 bottles of fizz herself with the rest of us splitting the bill otherwise it would have been significantly more. Not sure I'd do it again unless I was on a promise from Salma Hayek but had a great night all told. Did you have the pork medium rare like they advise. It was wicked but the wife was convinced I was going to die. I like it in there but bookings are a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Ram Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The Windmill, Skiathos Town was very nice.. Perfect setting high on a hill overlooking the harbour and town. I love eating alfresco.. Food was pretty good as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to eat steak mooing and fish when just flaking so I'd probably have done as you did. I think people overestimate the dangers of pork to be honest. The only food I've ever really got ill from is shellfish and that's because I have an allergy but insist on eating it all the same. Not too bright I guess but I love the stuff!

CWC1983 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'm a sucker for home made food, and the Sunday lunch at the Harrington at Thulston is as good as I've had in Derbyshire. Especially when the Turkey is on. Worldwide, ktima in Lindos was lovely with views to die for, one for @MuespachRam the best steak was Seared Chophouse 1200 at the beach, a place for home cured hams in Arcachon near Bordeaux. Lastly, chicken stuffed with Haggis and a whiskey sauce at Cameron House, Loch lomand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 That reminds me......the Poachers Brasserie at Thurlaston, leicestershire is about the only restaurant i would recommend. and even that wasn't quite as good as it was, last time i went. its very rare that i'm impressed by restaurant food. The wifes cooking is usually better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Not qualified to judge as I haven't travelled enough leave alone been to the best restaurants. More locally, Darleys and the Bay Tree in Melbourne are the best I've been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
