littleboo Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Does anyone know the name of the little french restaurant on the way to walkley? the one that serves hot wings while you wait and some of the biggest portions I've ever seen? Went there the other week, I'd recommend it!  I think you mean this one  Chez La Lou  French  10 Commonside Steel Bank S10 1GB  0114 2686983   it's really nice, great food and service, very small/cosy inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenback Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Seafood restaurants are great. After all, nothing says 'special' quite like seafood. Â Actually, I went to my favourite restaurant on the Fylde coast last Friday; I had foie gras parfait with truffle air to start, followed by Three cuts of Forest of Bowland Beef in a green peppercorn sauce and served with dripping fat cut chips and finally rounded off with a Banana Butty Creme Brulee. Divine! And the proprietor Caroline gave us a free bottle of champagne because I wrote kind words about them in the Times. Â I likes me food, but my dictionary of pretentious foodie terms hasn't been updated since cheese and onion crisps became "hand cooked farmhouse cheddar and organic pan-fried shallot potato slices" down at low-rent supermarket Morrison's. Â Prey tell, what is 'truffle air' - are you served with a plate that used to contain truffles? "Dripping fat cut chips"? "Banana butty creme brulee"? All a bit Arabella Weir/'Posh Nosh' for my liking. Â Call me a luddite but it sounds like the sort of menu designed to part fools with a lot of their cash, recommendation in The Times or not. Â Spot-on with the assessment of the choice of 'Artisan' for the Thyme restaurant, though. To call it naff doesn't even begin to describe its hideousness - could no-one have had a word?

heartshaped1 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Franco's at Crookes. Nigel is an integral part of the experience, and the food's just great value. Can't beat it! Â Where else can you get a selection box in a glass for pudding I ask you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Phantom Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 What exactly does he do ? Â Kinda sets the imagination running that one, I hope whatever it is he washes his hands afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartshaped1 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Let's just say he has a range of stock phrases which can lead to the easy formation of a Franco's drinking game. Â Nothing as exciting as anything involving handwashing I'm afraid (although I'm sure he abides by all health and safety regulations she hastily adds!)

ReginaldD Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think you mean this one Chez La Lou  French  10 Commonside Steel Bank S10 1GB  0114 2686983   it's really nice, great food and service, very small/cosy inside  Hi Everyone,  Just wondered if anyone had been to Chez La Lou recently I was thinking of taking my girlfriend. I typed it into google and found some great reports and some quite bad reviews. So just wondered if someone has been recently what they thought.  Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
