drpellypo Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I feel exactly the same. You can only pick what you want if it's mon-thurs. Not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) I've not tried that place. Might have to now. Taster menu's aren't for me though. It's all they do Well, sort off. 2 menus to choose from, with a choice of going for all 8 courses on either @ £65 or any 3 @ £40. They do a selection of wines chosen to suit the dishes @ £40. Additional wines/beers etc are available but don't expect anything low rent. The bill for 4 of us was pushing £600 after the service charge. It's the only restaurant in the area with a Michelin starred chef (he's apparently invested over £700k in it) so I'd definitely give it a go. I've heard a few bad comments about the service, but I found it OK. I don't like places that are too stuffy with waiting staff who look down at you or roll eyes at your wine choice so it worked for me. Apparently a lot of the waiting staff are kids who would have otherwise not had a chance so good luck to him, and them.

I've just looked at the menu (nice website) and the 'baked hay' can't be what I think it is? Umm, hay that has been, ermm, baked? I thought Indigo had a star but could be wrong (isn't that Marco Pierre White's restaurant?). We often eat at Cafe 21 because I don't think we've ever had a bad meal. Some of the student waitresses they get can be quite good too. You know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Indigo doesn't have a star, as far as I know. I've not been, but then it doesn't appeal to me. The steaks are no doubt good, but there are better options for steaks, in my opinion. The Silk Room for example, next to Cafe 21, does superb steaks. They also do kangaroo steaks and Kobe Wagyu burgers Cafe 21 is always good. In some ways, too good, as it's always a safe choice and we end up there too often. Likewise, never had a bad meal there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Not tried The Silk Room. I'll do that now. There is one major issue with Cafe 21. In years of going there.....I don't think they're ever changed the bloody menu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
