I noticed on my most recent visit to Ealing that the Castano Lounge had closed down. It opened about four years ago, however though I have visited the sister restaurant the Brunello Lounge in Weston, I never actually got to the Castano Lounge, but whenever I walked past it did seem busy. I think one of the reasons it wasn’t the place for me. Looking back I realised I hadn’t visited Brunello in a while either.
Bunsik is coming to Bristol
Cabot Circus is set to gain a new restaurant called Bunsik, which specializes in Korean street food and corn dogs.
The menu online looks interesting and the prices at the Manchester branch looks like good value for money as well.
No date when it will be open, but when I was at Cabot Circus at the weekend, I saw that the outside was all done up.
I think I will try and get there when it does opens.
German Donor Kebab coming to Cabot Circus
I haven’t been to Cabot Circus for a while now, but saw on a recent visit that there will be a new German Donor Kebab branch opening there.
No indication of the date of opening.
Mowgli in Bristol
I headed out for a walk at lunchtime and went to see the new Mowgli restaurant on Corn Street.
I had first noticed the Mowgli chain when I was looking around the refurbished Birmingham New Street railway station. What intrigued me, more than the menu, was the swing seats they had.
Mowgli sells Indian street food, and has a nice sounding menu. It looked interesting inside. One day I might give it a visit.
Atlantic Village under new ownership
I saw on my lunchtime walk that the Atlantic Village fish and chip shop at Clover Court has a huge handwritten sign in the window, proclaiming that it will be opening soon under new ownership.
Over the last few years the Atlantic Village fish and chip shop has reduced their menu and their opening hours. I remember when it opened I was quite pleased. The reality is that I don’t eat fish and chips that often. So I wasn’t a regular customer, and if I was going to have chips, I was more likely to go to Sea Salt.
It will be interesting to see what the new place will be like.
Demise of Cranside
Next month I am off to Glasgow for a conference. When I attended the conference last year I had some nice meals up there.
I had a nice meal at the Cranside Kitchen. I had a really nice Seafood Cha Han and some delicious Bao Buns.
I thought I would check out the menu at the Cranside Kitchen, and I was little saddened to see that they had closed in the summer.
Well I will need to find somewhere else to eat.
German Doner Kebab is open
Popped into town today and saw for myself that German Doner Kebab is now open.
Seemed to be getting interest from people.
German Doner Kebab is now open
Finally the Weston-super-Mare branch of German Doner Kebab is now open.
Not sure I will be going anytime soon though.
German Doner Kebab, still not open
I last posed about German Doner Kebab in September. I was in town today at the Weston Food Festival and I noted that it still wasn’t open.
Personally I think it’s never going to open
MOMO bar
Going for a walk in Bristol today I noticed that in the St Nicholas Market a new stall has opened, the MOMO Bar.
Selling Tibetan dumplings and other stuff, there was quite a queue for their wares.
They sell four kinds of momo dumplings, beef, chicken, a vegetarian spinach and cheese and a vegan mushroom dumpling. You can also mix and match. Eight dumplings will cost you £9, whilst six would be £7.00
They also sell a thukpa noodle box, three choices here, beef, chicken or mixed vegetables. The noodle box costs £7.50, but you can make it a combo box, by adding two momo dumplings for £9.50.
I wasn’t looking for lunch, but it does look quite interesting. Though I felt the prices were a little high, but then again all the prices in St Nick’s have gone up. The delicious Kurdish wraps from Matina use to be £5 are now £7.50 for example.
So one day I may give the MOMO bar a try.
