StoutA cool restaurant in a friendly shopping street in Amsterdam. The food is good, though not cheap. I had the Stout Platter which consist of 5 small starters and 5 small main courses. It doesn't look like much but by the end you're certainly full. A great idea if you have trouble choosing what to eat in a restaurant. You can sit outside and watch the people go by, or order small portions of food & wine and lie on the mattresses outside. Staff is friendly and the places looks great.]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2007 13:40:27 +0000 /review/netherlands/amsterdam/restaurant/1o12j90/stout1489523462 benzevenbergen good food good wine good location international comfy friendly staff expensive trendy restaurant lively 52.38017 4.892321 The Funny Side of Covent Garden http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1o3297i/the-funny-side-of-covent-garden

This places was amazing. I was actually laughing out loud for most of the time. These people really know how to set up a good comedy night night with great presentation and the best acts! I gets 5 stars, because it's smallness makes it a very intimate experience.]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 21:07:41 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1o3297i/the-funny-side-of-covent-garden972427416 benzevenbergen 51.512281436749 -0.12093544006348 The Big Chill Bar http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g62u8n/the-big-chill-bar

One of my favourite bars in London, based in the Truman Brewery complex. Always good music, very busy but also very relaxed type of people that come here. Great to start the night and head off to the clubs in the vicinity]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 20:52:36 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g62u8n/the-big-chill-bar558481273 benzevenbergen 51.520125324866 -0.072895210655289 Bar Gansa http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1301v82/bar-gansa

I didn't see any performances or Flamenco, but the tapas were very, very good, and so was the Sangria. Worth a visit if you're in Camden! Just a tiny walk from the tubestop.]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 20:49:28 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1301v82/bar-gansa741999910 benzevenbergen 51.539260503317 -0.14418995847478 Meraz Cafe http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1z6858/meraz-cafe

The Best Curry in London!Among the many indian restaurants on and around Brick Lane, there is only one that doesn't try to lure you in with "free wine" and "20% off for you, sir". That place is called Meraz. Not only do they not bother you, they also serve the very best curry I have ever eaten, and they do that for harldy any cost at all. For 12 pounds you can easily feed 3 grown men. They don't serve alcohol but don't mind you taking your own from the off-licence around the corner! That just makes it extra cool.
The place it self doesn't look great, but try it, it's worth it!!]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 20:46:10 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1z6858/meraz-cafe934156730 benzevenbergen indian cheap eat good value 51.520272 -0.070751 202 Cafe http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe

Great place with great food in a great location! The pancakes surely are good (as recommended by Belinda)! It's also a fashionable clothes store. Definitely worth a visit for a break during a busy Portobello Market day.]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 20:44:16 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe748335444 benzevenbergen 51.514073482637 -0.20142284204719 Belgisch Bier Cafe http://trustedplaces.com/review/netherlands/leiden/bar-pub/1o22e7s/belgisch-bier-cafe

Belgisch Bier Cafe 'Het Gerecht'If you ever visit Leiden be sure to have a chat with legendary pub owner 'Martin'. He serves lots of Belgian beer to students and is very proud of his bar. He has many stories about just about anything. Sometimes it is not cear wether it is actually true, but dont let the truth stand in the way of a good story!]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 18:06:11 +0000 /review/netherlands/leiden/bar-pub/1o22e7s/belgisch-bier-cafe32031080 benzevenbergen jazz belgian beer indie independent pub students rock underground friendly staff friendly relaxed 52.158306 4.487427 Brick Lane Beigel Bake http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake

The reason I joined this site was to hype this place. Whenever I'm in London I HAVE to go here to eat bagels. Salmon is a winner, so is the cream cheese and of course the salt beef with extra mustard (get a drink with it, or else you might explode). Also great after a nights drinking!]]> Tue, 20 Mar 2007 20:18:53 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake462113786 benzevenbergen 51.522129 -0.071709
