Fusion Indian Inspiration
For me, Sunday will always be a "Family Day". A day when we all:
and, of course, delicious food.
This past Sunday was no different!
A short drive away is a favourite of ours,
"Bombay Bay, Indian Bar, and, Fusion Restaurant".
Located in the heart of
"Southsea Marina",
"Bombay Bay"
offers an inspiring selection of
Outdoor, and
Indoor seating.
For me I love the contrast of the salty sea air playing a constant dance with the freshly ground Spices of India. A strange crossroads perhaps, however, one to savor for sure.
Browsing through their
extensive Home Cooked Menu, consisting of Traditional, and Fusion Food, there is a
an authentic Curry to suit everyone's tastes.
From Indian Classics, such as
Tandoori Roti, to
Chicken, or Lamb Korma, to Dhansak, to side dishes like,
Spicy Bombay Potatoes,
Poppadom's,
Onion Salad Garnish, to freshly made
Cheese Nann Bread,
or,
Chilli Cheese Nann Bread,
Vegetable Samosa, to
"Bombay Bay's" signature Fusion Main Courses of,
"Lime Bahar",
and,
"Chicken Massaman",
to desserts like
Rich Chocolate Mousse,
or
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.
no problem...You won't leave hungry!
All good things come to those who wait, and in this case, it is well worth it as every dish is not only delicious, but lovingly prepared to order.
Inspiring food check, great company check. If you haven't visited yet, what are you waiting for!

for all occasions.
From a very different,
but truly inspiring interior, to an:

Cassons, Tangmere, West Sussex

French Cuisine since 2003 with flare, and passion.
An unassuming, oldish style building, however, once you step inside, you are greeted with:
Well worth a visit!
Inspired By Belgium
One Tuesday Evening after an inspirational walk around Portsmouth,"Our Great Waterfront City", my Cousin, and I, found ourselves in the beating heart of Southsea, headed in the direction of
"Kings Street Tavern",
where our local grapevine suggested delicious food was on the menu.
Unfortunately, not having booked, we were turned away due to the entire Tavern being booked for Graduation Celebrations.
Falling back on a favourite of ours, we headed on foot to "Elm Grove" and the popular,
"Huis", Belgium Bar, and Restaurant.
"Huis", in Flemish translates as "House" in English, which was apt, as the decor seemed to me like I was stepping into the front room of a "Home" rather than a formal Restaurant. Both different, and, inspirational, I thought.
Being seated promptly, we were greeted with an extensive "Home Cooked" Menu consisting mainly of Traditional Belgium Cuisine, along, with some classics.
Enjoying our
"Belgium Beer", we eagerly awaited our selection of snacks.
Our waiter brought,
a selection of Satay Meatballs, covered in:
topped with roasted peanuts and a portion of
Moules Mariniere Classic, cooked with:
garnished with Parsley for my Cousin.
In all, an excellent choice as their food was:
and highly recommended by both of us.
The question you have all been waiting for. Would we return? Our answers. Yes, certainly! It's a massive thumbs us.
A Chamber Of Inspiration
As you enter
Chambers Restaurant, off to one side you have a unique, very stylish
set of chairs,
and some
smart groovy tables.
After multiple visits:
I can honestly say their:
is consistently good ensuring our visit was truly five stars.
Walking through their entrance, we were greeted not only by:
Christmas Tree, coupled with,
a Sofa Waiting Area, where decorated in his, or her traditional uniform proudly stood a
Father Christmas.
Arriving at our
table, my family, and I, were presented with their
Sunday Menu, where we all chose Traditional Festive food consisting of,
delicious Roast Chicken, and, Cauliflower Cheese, followed by an equally yummy
Apple, and, Cinnamon Pie for our Deserts.
Would I, Baldi, A.K.A Amonn Al-Mahrouq recommend Chambers for your family Lunch? Yes, most definitely. Why, I hear you ask? Because, we have enjoyed their delicious food and inspiring service every time we have visited.
Lunch At Marmion
In the beating heart of Southsea resides,
"The Marmion House" Restaurant, located on the site of
"The Old Marmion Tea Stores" where my:
enjoyed a:
Sunday Lunch.
Can I recommend "The Marmion House" Restaurant? My, Baldi, A.K.A Amonn AL-Mahrouq's short answer is, Yes! Why? I hear you ask.
We all found the food to be:
however,
One minor drawback:
You must book in advance to avoid disappointment, especially when wanting to devour your Sunday Lunch here.
Taste Of Turkey
Bodrum Restaurant,
located in the heart of Southsea, Hampshire, United Kingdom, serving authentic Turkish cuisine, and drinks.
For our Meze, we ordered
a Tomato, and Chili based Dip accompanied by lovely Turkish Bread.
Moving to our main course, we thoroughly enjoyed a simple,
however delicious Chicken Dish, cooked in Lemon Juice over a Traditional Turkish Barbecue served with fresh salad.
Can I recommend Bodrum? In a word, yes! In fact so much so, my family, and I will be returning in a few weeks time.
The Courtyard Southsea
Located in the heart of,
Southsea Castle, Hampshire, United Kingdom, The Courtyard Cafe was established in April 2015 by an independent family seeking to offer an array of home cooked, locally sourced:
On our most recent visit, my Cousin thoroughly enjoyed
their Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad, whilst I enjoyed their
Southern Fried Chicken Burger, Onion Rings and Chips, finnishing off with their delicious,
Chocolate Pudding.
Poppy
enjoyed her
Puppy Pit Stop.
Having visited The Courtyard Cafe, Southsea multiple times over the past few years, for:
Hot Drinks, I feel confident in recommending it to you.
