When a dish really impresses me I'll label it with a SIMON FAVOURITE :-) which means I'd happily order it again and recommend others to try. During the year I'll keep adding my favourite dishes (and drinks) to this page so it becomes a quick reference for anyone that is keen to try them. If you do try a dish that I recommend and you don't enjoy it please let me know. Please be aware restaurants do close down from time to time so the dishes I mention may possibly not be available if this is the case.
