Pizza and Pasta Galore

Again it's been a little while since I posted.

We had a friend up in January and proceeded to eat at the M&S Cafe down in the Union Square Branch, Rishis, Three Lums and the Subway in Union Square - Not bad for a two day visit.  Overall good food and good company.

February was a quiet month.  Think we went to the Filling Station and that was about it.  Tried their 2 for a £10 menu.  It was okay but it's a very limited choice.  Went to Pizza Express on Union Street at the end of the month.  It was cold and the service was slow - staff seemed very disorganised.  We where sharing a pizza and they forgot the plates - had the extra thin base which was a disappointment as the pizza got cold very quickly.

March has been a bit busier.  We did go to ASK Italian with my Mum and Dad, the weekend I got my car.  And we've now tried both Pizza Express's in Aberdeen, as we went to the Belmont Branch this weekend and had a much better meal in a very nice and well staffed restaurant.

Also hit both the international market and the farmers market on Saturday.  Surprisingly busy considering the weather was much colder than the week before.  Managed to get some really nice vegetables and belts with buckles.  Picked up the P&J restaurant guide and think there is only one place mentioned in it I actually want to go to and I few I may consider - Cock and Bull, Jewel in the Crown, La Lombarda and Pavarotti's.  Places that I have been recommended recently include Amicus Apple.  Little bit pricey but apparently very nice, plus they seem to do deals every now and then.

The Foundry

So I've been quiet of late. Tight budgets tend to cut down the trips out for meals and shopping. Have to admit I have missed a drink at a pub. We had a friend up from Glasgow and a pint (of good cider) and a bite to eat made sense.

Always like the foundry, its not usually to busy. Quite happy that sport is on but is never over powering. Watched an Andy Murray Wimbledon Game over a few drinks earlier this year. Don't usually go in when it looks really busy, especially if I'm hungry!

The Foundry has its own websiteand facebook.
