Dang, i'm drooling on the keyboard again...
Wait, do you mean the Red Bistro, used to be Red Rock? Regardless of if you mean somewhere else, that place is great - the owner is insanely nice, will do you a good deal, and if you have
any dietary requirements he'll go way out of his way to meet them. He will do almost any dish gluten free (and totally gluten free - my sister is coeliac and the slightest trace makes her sick as a dog) and we go there for takeout a lot since she can eat everything from there and the food is so good. Not bad laksa, I quite like the seafood one, but the noodles are what I go there for...yum....my favourite is the peanut and coconut sauce one with chicken or duck. Absolutely delish. The singapore noodles are really good and he does tom ka gai soup which is one of my favourite winter pick me ups ever (do not attempt to eat this unless you like chilli).
I want to try Jerusalem now, I've got somewhat addicted to lebanese food in the last year. Yummmm. And ba'lawa is fantastic stuff, and I almost like it better than the greek variety - don't tell the Greeks I know though! Lebanese coffee is wonderful, addictive stuff, though I like mine sweet. My priest assures me that I should practice drinking it bitter and enjoy the taste of the coffee...but I like mine sweet
Anyone know of a good, traditional but not overpriced Greek restaurant? Bonus marks for somewhere that does vegan dishes or if you're Orthodox and actually know the fasting rules, somewhere that sells food that fits that (aka vegan but if it's seafood without a backbone we can eat it). I hate getting stuck somewhere during one of the fasts with nothing to eat! Also, the Greeks have so much good vegan food, why is it that the restaurants only ever sell stuff with a heap of meat in it?
Actually, for that matter, anyone know good vegan places to eat? I'd love to know places that are affordable and in the city (I'll be at Adelaide Uni next year) that do a decent lunch
Good vegan food is fanastic, bad vegan food is disgusting.
Also - montezumas is a tragedy because they have a sister restaurant called the Aztec, and there's one in Coolangatta, QLD that's pretty good. Why do we have to have montezumas instead?
Best pizza I've ever had in Australia = Earth and Sea which is based in Byron Bay but again there's one in Coolangatta. They sell a pizza with banana on it that has to be tasted to be believed.
Second best pizza is from Bel Gusto in Coromandel Valley up sorta near Blackwood/Belair in the hills. It's on the main road in the weird little shopping centre thing, they make them from scratch in front of you and they are FANTASTIC. They're new and I desperately want them to do well because we haven't had a decent pizza place up here since the Dial a Pizza on Coro parade got bought out last year.
I was going to say the same thing.
