It's always interesting to capt the diff of taste in beef from 1 place to another (eating beef in Australia Vs eating it in Argentina was among my most memorable carnivore moments)S Lloydhttp://www.xanga.com/aromesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-47208084897531241892010-11-26T22:21:21.420+00:002010-11-26T22:21:21.420+00:00I absolutely love Hibiscus (http://bit.ly/TPFP_H) ...I absolutely love Hibiscus (http://bit.ly/TPFP_H) even the petits fours - especially the petits fours, in fact, though the smoked fudge I could take or leave. I do completely agree though about supplements on set menus, especially as high as £10 - one would expect a French chef to be able to grasp the concept of 'prix FIXE'!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948980890459312618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-47652840155209001922010-11-21T21:36:14.231+00:002010-11-21T21:36:14.231+00:00How very odd indeed - you'd think a high end p...How very odd indeed - you'd think a high end place like that would get coffee right. <br /><br />That supplements business really annoys me too on set priced menus.Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-64843795807851720592010-11-19T12:13:28.892+00:002010-11-19T12:13:28.892+00:00How strange about the coffee.

I'm off to Hibiscus on Saturday night - I'm really looking forward to it, but will make sure I've had at least 1 good coffee for the day before I go!Greedy Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114726748321671965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-40487289338344346092010-11-19T11:41:46.239+00:002010-11-19T11:41:46.239+00:00@Kavey - Couldn't put it better myself!

It annoys me no end. The idea of such a menu is to offer diners the chance to enjoy the restaurant's skills at a fixed (and usually more affordable) price. It's surely possible for the restaurant to select dishes that can ALL come in at the price so that a diner wanting to stick to budget actually has the full choice on the fixed price menu and is not left with a choice of either a dish they don't fancy or paying significantly more.<br /><br />For those who want to pay more, that's what the a la carte is for!Kaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662875905365870280noreply@blogger.com
