Top ten best restaurants in the area

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:03:56 GMT

The votes are in, these are the top ten best restaurants in the area as voted by you (so, the ten restaurants with the most loyal net savvy customers and regulars who visit this site then), a few surprises in there:

Botolphs Bridge Inn (9.10/10)

Bella Amalfi (8.59/10)

Chambers (8.27/10)

Curry Garden (8.03/10)

The Prince of India (7.86/10)

Riverview Diner (7.86/10)

Kalala (7.80/10)

The Dolphin (7.77/10)

Bar Vasa (7.63/10)

The Penny Theatre (7.63/10)

I've not even visited the number one slot there. Seemingly a pub, but one that does food (as are Chambers and The Dolphin that I certainly can vouch for, and The Penny Theatre that I could not.

Been to one of these places? Or any other place listed on the site? Please vote, you don't need to register or anything.

I'll be back again in a month to see how the list has changed.

Check out Canterbury Whole Foods while you still can

The cafe above Canterbury Whole Foods is going to be under new management in a couple of weeks, so if you want to try the existing vegetarian + vegan cafe as it is now, you'd better hurry.

We visited on Saturday for the first time in an age; on our last visit it was busy and we found service far too slow. This time, not so busy, and quick service.

Perhaps it's part of the winding down of the old business, but the menu was a bit short. We arrived at two and there were not many options left. I had the butternut squash wrap, and as I ordered it that was removed from the board too. Do they only make one of each dish? Also I feel they could have been a bit more generous with the portions, particularly the salads. Meals were not really cheap at 6.95, and salad is practically free, pile it high I say!

I assume the new management will keep the vegetarian format and hippy vibe, but I hope they increase the portion size a bit.
