Orlando has a wonderful restaurant 'Le Coq au Vin', it's on Orange, crossed with Gatlin, south of the city. It has superb French country cuisine, Un Lapin "Chasseur", a Cassoulet and many other French dishes and an amazing Creme brulee - I'm sure, for those that wish Lamb's brains, they can be had - but why? The Saddle Peak Lodge, on Piuma(Calabasas, LA ) does yer usual Buffalo and Elk dishes plus some Vegetarian plates for those Bambi lovers amongst us. I happen to be a snob where food is concerned and I find the restaurants in LA have a captive clientele prepared to pay good money for bad food - that will antagonise many, I'm sure - but Mexifornica/Nouveau/Italia-American cuisine and Oriental dishes with peas in them - largely suck a wad, to this ex-pat. These places are pricey but do warrant a visit - a special occasion, a worthy date etc... I would also say they're not biker friendly and have a dress code so don't go turning up in the wife beater, bandana and chaps - definitely not cool! :razz: The Bombay Brasserie (sw7) and the Red Fort(dean st.), in London are two of the FINEST Indian restaurants anywhere in the world and will turn most people into gibbering wrecks as the kaleidoscope of flavours are so overwhelming - the Red Fort used to do a great brunch on Sunday - oh the memories.
