Toast to Roast
Attempting to sum up good & bad food experiences whilst travelling in Europe and North America, with the odd trip further afield.

This blog has been on something of a hiatus but now it's time to try and catch up. Hopefully.
There’s quite a backlog so the reviews will be a mix of the brief and the slightly more in-depth.

Rating System – Marks out of 5 (mainly based on the food, although sometimes the overall experience helps)
The ratings for most places tend towards the higher scores out of 5. This is a result of a lot of careful research before I commit it trying a place. As much as it is fun to write a scathing review about a place, it ultimately means I've wasted money on a lousy meal to do that.
5 – Flawless. Every dish a memorable, clever mix of flavours that let your palate know it’s being indulged. The type of experience that will stick with you forever.
4 – A very good meal lacking that additional wow that prevents the whole experience from being outstanding or just having one element that didn't quite live up to everything else.
3 – Reasonably good food that justifies a return visit. Nothing particularly outstanding but it’s unlikely that you’ll come away unhappy with your experience.
2 – Overall a poor experience. Food that doesn’t really work but at least the kitchen seems to be trying.
1 – Awful. Food is poorly thought out and miserable enough eating that you can’t wait to leave
0 – Garbage. Food with no redeeming qualities, whatsoever. A cynical exercise in separating the diner from their cash
