Jewelled Jaime’s

Jewelled Jamie’s

Jamie’s Restaurant…………………..
There are over 6,000 Restaurants in the Fylde Coast so one does have a lot of choice. I have eaten at quite a few but there is not one in Blackpool as great as Jamie’s.
I have tried Nigel Haworth, Paul Heathcotes, Jason Atherton, Ramsey’s, Corrigan’s Marco’s and most of Lytham and St Annes
Now………………………………. I can actually say, hand on heart, that I have found a true hidden gem

My word…………………..
This restaurant is not just exceedingly good, it is sensational. From greeting to leaving it was perfection – not stuffy or cold, everyone was warm and genuinely friendly. Dan was suburb *********
Friendly, warm welcome and from the start I knew it was going to be delicious just by the ambience and looking at other plates! But it was simply sensational.
When I tasted the food I was so surprised. Power packed flavours and great presentation.
Service begins with stilton bonbons, so yummy I dream about them.

To start we ordered a sharing platter for two. There were 4 of us and we did not manage to finish it but carried on ordering. Simply beautiful.
For Main – Tapas. Pork loin and blackpudding skewers, sea bass, squid, teriyaki beef and prawns. Everything divine, cooked to perfection with so many flavours
OH MY- The whole experience was simply perfection.
I shall return. I want to eat everything so the tasting menu sounds perfect. Jamie’s is my new favourite restaurant. Thank you to all who made our visit so very special.

History of The W .L. Foley Building

The second building on the block designed by prolific Texas courthouse architect Eugene T. Heiner, the venue features two stories of wood, brick and mirrored walls that light up with vibrant colours at night. While built in 1889, much of the modern updates are accredited to former owner Lee Benner

Well there is not too much I can say about Midland – except for the People are so lovely friendly and kind

It is not the food capital of the World

BUT

One little place that I can now say is my favourite in Midland Texas

Cancun Mexican Grill

Steaks Pork chop shrimp just everything

On a bustling Saturday night with no reservation – we walked to the restaurant

From entering, we were greeted warmly seated on the last table but a great one – just made very welcome

Instantly served drinks corn chips and dips.

The server came back for the food order – I could not decide so much choice – advice on the whole menu gratefully received

The food came in perfect timing to order a second drink. 

Hot fresh and absolutely delicious cooked to perfection

I cannot rate this restaurant highly enough.

It is so good I am eating there the next FOUR Nights until we depart from Midland Texas to Houston.

WOW just fallen over a little GEM

 

Only been opened 2 months – Totally Love and ADORE this Bistro Mediterranean The very best #Falafel I have ever tasted even in the Middle East – A Gyro / Doner to die for – Beautiful Lamb and Beef wrap served with French fries Nothing else needed apart form the most perfectly served White wine – crisp Apples – Sauvignon Blanc

This is now my new Favorite in Katy Texas – Two-minute walk from the OFFICE what could be better – Nothing Shear Perfection 100 out of a 100 x

Know Your Doner

With roots dating all the way back to the 18th century and the Ottoman Empire, Doner is meat -lamb, beef, veal or chicken- that we season and grill to perfection on our vertical rotisseries. And because it cooks vertically, it’s a self-basting miracle that ensures all of the flavorful goodness we put into it, stays right where it’s supposed to. Doner literally means “turning” or “rotating” and it’s becoming more and more popular all over the world. Isn’t that why you’re here?

To know thy doner is to love thy doner!

Pure Love

Sixtyone London

Dining, Dinner, Family, Food, London

SixtyOne Restaurant.

There are 5570 Restaurants in London so one does have a lot of choice.

I have eaten at quite a few, always when in London choose “exceedingly good” restaurants.

I have tried Jason Atherton, Ramsey’s, Corrigan’s Marco’s to name just a few.

Now………………………………. I can actually say, hand on heart, that I have found A true hidden gem

SixtyOne Restaurant, 61 Upper Berkeley Street, London, W1H 7PP. Very close to Marble Arch

My word…………………..

This restaurant is not just exceedingly good it is sensational! From greeting to leaving it was perfection – not stuffy or cold, everyone was warm and genuinely friendly.

Modern trendy with a 70’s vibe but Warm! From the start I knew it was going to be delicious just by the ambience and looking around at other plates! But it was simply sensational.

When I tasted the food I was so surprised power packed flavours and great presentation.

Service begins with a Bread Box accompanied by homemade butter.

Not a normal “Bread Box”

I do make my own butter and this was beautiful, creamy salty perfection.

My new love is Marmite Bread, oh my! so dangerous – As I was salivating so much they asked if I would like more bread – NOOOOO! Not because I did not like it, simply because I ADORED IT!

I would have eaten them out of Marmite Bread if I could, but I knew that I wanted to “Save myself”.

To start I ordered Heritage beetroot | Cashel Blue | walnut -simply beautiful.

For Main – Pork loin Apple and Pineapple. Devine cooked to perfection with a salty crust.

For Pudding we were given an extra dish, a cheesecake in a shot glass served with the most adorable pistachios shortbread – meltingly delicious.

Followed by – Apple millefeuille| lavender | lime – I have never tasted anything so deviously delicious and I never ever eat puddings. It must be 20 years since I ordered a pudding, I normally go for the cheese. On this occasion I decided to try it . OH MY- The whole experience was simply Perfection.

I shall return. I would really want to eat everything! So the tasting menu shall be perfect – Roll on September when I am back in London.

Sixtyone is my new favourite restaurant – Thank You to all who made our visit so very special.
