Last night, Nora the babysitter was in town so myself and the wife scarpered. The restaurant was Michelin starred Viajante, http://www.viajante.co.uk/ and the after-pub was The Dundee arms, The Dundee Arms.
Pre-dinner cigar was a Regius Robosto all the way from Nicaragua. I liked this cigar very much. I'll certainly be getting a few more.
The restaurant on the other hand, was not so good. The wife described the food as "boring", when asked by the maitre'd. I became the worlds finest food critic when I suggested that passion fruit was "so last year". Needless to say, we won't be bringing the Doyles there.
The owner of the Dundee arms is a brother-in-law of a guy at work, and a very nice man who serves a mean pint. He even laid on a plate of savory biscuits, which we ate.
I'd certainly recommend the Regius as an excellent and much cheaper alternative to a Cuban Robusto, at roughly half the price of a Partagas No.4. I won't recommend Viajante and if you fancy a bit of Irish music and a sing-along, head to the Dundee arms.
