Continuing my tour of the world's touristy-looking restaurants that turn out to be surprisingly good, I've eaten twice at this place this week and it was superb both times.
By the end of the second time, I even didn't mind the live chickens and the cheesy donkey.
I might comment on the dishes i had if I can get round to it.
БУДЬМО!!!
Thanks for that Bren-I took the time to look through the whole site-looks like a fun place with a huge tasty menu and some very enthusiastic staff.
Between noon and 4pm they give 30% discount on food and wines. Worth another visit?
Georgian and Armenian (or Generally Caucasian) restaurants are among the best in Russia. I have some nice old memories.
Some of the best dining experiences any where in the world are to be found in Australia Another classic example of fine dining - Note t he table and chairs thoughtfully provided by the proprietors for the use of those wishing to dine "al fresco" , coupled with the scintillating view of "Wheelies a La Australiana"
Notice too, the ever popular verandah with a lovely bric-a-brac of trellis work to screen the dining patrons from public view! And the artistic creation of the window - a shining example of Australia's finest denizens.
Fieldgate - that is the lunchtime special and I think it involves a buffet.
CC, this was an indoor all fresco if you see what I mean. Sitting on the verandah overlooking the chookhouse while eating burnt snags isn't quite the same.

The definitive words there Bren are "the world's touristy-looking" so I gave you three shining examples of "touristy-looking restaurants" from another part of the world.
Seems my attempt at humour went unnoticed - and after all the time I took to find the very best ones too!
And ..and I searched especially for Marsden's too. The proprietor is very famous you know Bren, very famous indeed.

Well, that's fine CC, but why don't you start a separate thread where you detail your experiences there? I'm trying to keep one restaurant each to a thread of its own.
Oh, I misunderstood the reason of the thread. I apologise for over stepping the mark and stepping on your toes. It won't happen again.
I'm not making rules, CC, just suggestions. It's a lot easier to read about one restaurant at a time.
I look forward to your Marsdens thread and the various delights of Kangaroo Island
Right, now, the first night we went there I had :
Starter
Adjapsandali ( Cold aubergines braised with bell peppers, tomatoes and onion. The variety of herbs with mint and garlic offers an unforgettable taste ) & I can't remember what the other bloke had.
Main Course
I had Veal Shaslik - superbly done, just right charcoal BBQ taste on the outside but lovely and tender and beautiful mixture of spices , big pieces, generous quantity, with a sauce boat full of "Tkemali" ( Spicy tomato-alicha sauce with onions and herbs ) on the side, which I hadn't asked for but was great.
He had "Artala" ( Oven-baked shin of lamb with potato croguettes and braised vegetables ) which looked fantastic and he said it was great.
A bottle of S. African Pinotage and plenty of lavash (Georgian bread) with special spicy butter topped it all off.
