    In Coventry mainly, for me, not tried any places outside.

    1. The Gallery (Earlsdon)
    2. Blue Orchid Thai (The Butts)
    3. Rupali (Tile Hill)
    4. Turmeric Gold (City Centre)
    5. Rose and Castle (Ansty)
    6. Bar Eden (Coventry)
    7. Dogma (Coventry - evening menu can be good.)
    8. Coconut Lagoon (Kenilworth)
    9. Noodle Bar (Coventry - nice and cheap and tasty)
    10. Thai Dusit (London Road)

    Tend to mainly go to the Gallery, to be honest - menu changes every month, and I believe they are trying to get Michelin stars.

    Forgot about the Gallery - that'd probably make it in the 10. Think they'll struggle to get Michelin **'s mainly due to the wine bar below. I think the judges base it on the whole package and not just the food..

    I don't think I can manage 10 but in Stratford.

    1. Chutneys Indian.
    2. One Elm.
    3. Ripple (Think it's still being rebuilt after fire though).
    4. Lambs.
    5. Vintner.

    There the only one's I've been to recently, they're all good though. There's an Indian Resturant on Sheep Street which is supposed to be excellent, I forget the name though.

    Cocnut Lagoon in Stratford is very nice.

    Hey all,

    Don't go to many restaurants but have been to The Bear at Berkswell just outside Coventry and that was really great for veggie and for confirmed meat eaters alike - worth venturing out to :->

    hugs, skydakini xxx

    The Thai Dusset in Coventry has always been an overpriced excuse for Thai food since '99.

    The Vintner is a bit special these days. Did you know Lambs and the oppo are all owned by the same people, doesn't show in the food though (that's a compliment by the way).

    The worst place to eat...and the Goat and Bucket award goes to *** *******

    I was in the Vintner again on Tuesday, I have to admit I was more than a little miffed that the menu hasn't changed at all in at least six months. The food is good there, it's just the same food every time.

    Aqua Food and Moods in Coventry is very good - relaxed atmosphere and the lebanese dishes on the menu (It's Lebanese and Italian) are absolutely delicious.

    I quite like it - as does our office, as we go there quite often. Don't consider it particularly expensive. It's far better than the one in the Butts (Blue Orchid) which is really Indian people trying to pretend they are Thai.

    I'd prefer a Malaysian restaurant myself.

    My China in Priory Place is OK - they do some Malaysian dishes.

    Went back to MYO again and it was absolutely awful. First time was OK.

    1.) Phoenix Chinese Restaurant-best Szechuan chicken this side of the Atlantic.
    2.) Beef Restaurant, Kenilworth-if you can find a better steak, I'll happily eat it.
    3.) Been, Warwick-gorgeous Chinese food, and they're very environmental-they have a no-leaving-food policy.
    4.) Saxon Mill, Warwick
    5.) Loch Fyne, Knowle- Amazing seafood.

    But mostly I'm a takeaway girl, so those are the only ones I can think of so far. (Apart from restaurants, the best place for ice cream in the Midlands is Henley-in-Arden's famous ice cream shop. They have about a billion flavours, including pink champagne sorbet (O_O) but my personal favourite is their Toffee Crunch and White Chocolate ice cream-to die for if you have a sweet tooth like me )

    Jimmy Spice in Stratford gets my vote.
    Nearer to home though, The Red Lion , Corley Moor, excellent.
    No stars at all go to Weston Hall, Bulkington. Rude and offhand welcoming last Friday evening for six of us -( special occasion). overpriced and dated 70s menu.

    Pleased to say we did not stay.
    Told them why - they weren't bothered -and the place was nearly empty.
    Wonder why?
