I'm afraid that having read this review I am not at all eager to go there. If I don't know what the dishes include and I have to ask the staff, then they are not seeling it to me. Sounds like the chef is on a bit of an ego trip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932122650577865649.post-19488051328614819642009-08-30T11:51:11.432+01:002009-08-30T11:51:11.432+01:00Wow. I was expecting a great review for Terre A T...Wow. I was expecting a great review for Terre A Terre from a self proclaimed 'fussy' veggie. What a disappointment. I hope it doesn't put people off going to judge for themselves. <br /><br />You say "One shouldn't come out of a restaurant that one reccommends, worrying if one's friends feel like they've been forced to pay for something they would not normally expect to spend."<br />I'd say one really should not recommend a restaurant without having visited it. Seriously, how can you recommend it if you've never been there? You are in no position to recommend it until you have been, you can only comment on its reputation.<br /><br />I love the food at Terre A Terre and have been eating there since it was a tiny venue with a handful of tables. My only complaint is that there isn't enough choice for vegans and the dishes they do have tend to rotate round again and again when I'd like to try something new. <br /><br />I don't always understand the menu descriptions (but your waiter will talk you through them in plain language if you ask, as I've had to for some nervous friends) but I know whatever I order is going to be fantastic. I've brought many non veggies there - foodies and non-foodies and they've all loved it and raved about it. The menu, the combination of flavours and 'concoctions' is what makes it special and if you want to eat plainer food order the rosti, or eat elsewhere.<br /><br />It is expensive but in my view it is worth it. However in response to 'credit crunch Britain' (btw your overuse of this phrase in every review really grates) they do a 'Frugal Foodie' menu which costs £12.50. The portions are smaller than the a la carte ones but the three courses has filled me sufficiently on each visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932122650577865649.post-16317107290172931702009-04-25T02:34:00.000+01:002009-04-25T02:34:00.000+01:00'I can find equally good elsewhere...'
Go on then...'I can find equally good elsewhere...'<br /><br />Go on then... where!!! Where's good for veggies in Britain?<br /><br />You know, people get out of restaurants what they want, and if you're intimidated or put off, why not try a little more down market? ...why not run with the menu, see it as a bit of fun, and stop being so up oneself...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
