The ideal restaurant review submission

This site is not meant to be a checklist of good points or essential facilities in a restaurant, nor does it attempt to give a star rating for restaurants.  Instead it is designed to give space for your experiences in dining out at places that you have enjoyed eating and drinking in.  Two pointers for me when reviewing a restaurant’s  fare is: do they make good coffee and is the ´house wine´ enjoyable. Bad coffee is an abomination and I never go back to a place that serves second rate coffee because in nearly every instance it means that the restaurateur does not really care about his clients.  Similarly, a restaurant that has a poor house wine does not care about its reputation and this surely means that they don´t care about us, the customer.  I really hope that such places go out of business quickly so that they are not around so that they are unable to persuade me to try their indifferent fares and service.

Hello to the world of fellow diners who enjoy eating out – consuming good food and wine

We need your help to develop this site into the largest directory of places to go to enjoy a meal out with family, friends or to enchant that new girlfriend/boyfriend. No matter where you are in the world, help us to let others know where is the best eating and drinking experience to be found in your area.

If you were kind enough to let us also know if the place that you visit for that special occasion is children-friendly, dog-friendly, has easy access for the physically challenged or any other aspect, then that is being really helpful. Currently, most of the restaurant directories feature either American or European restaurants – sometime Michelin 3 star – but this is not where most people would choose to eat out. What we are looking for are those charming places where the food is good and the service excellent and where you always have a culinary experience worth talking about. Let us know and help the world to find these personal gems of local knowledge.

As a matter of principle don´t tell us about the bad experiences as these places should not receive any publicity – good or bad – and I hope they just wither and die out, and get their failing businesses out of our cities and towns.
