April in Bristol was typically wet, living up to the 'April Showers' tradition with brief sunny spells breaking up the icy rain. I had come into Bristol centre to meet my ratemyfalafel.com associate partner for a 'cultural day'. I had managed to get hold of some free tickets to a couple of exhibitions that were...

WE DO NOT SELL NITROUS OXIDE
Apologies to all the falafel lovers out there. Your falafel stuffed author has been too busy watching TV and complaining about the cold to write any reviews for a while. Life is hard. Well, we moved to another part of Bristol. One of the primary reasons to move was to appreciate a whole new range of falafel... Continue Reading →
View from a professional – Mezze Palace
Well, we're all pro's at falafel I suppose, but I was dining this time with my professional chef friend, who made falafel for a living! Double dining.

Rule No.1- You don’t eat a Falafel with a Knife and Fork
On Sunday night (7th) I found myself tucking into a falafel, on a plate, with a knife and fork. I was like David Cameron and his famous hot dog (just writing that makes me think of his other pork based activities, ugh). No, no, the reason was much more reasonable that that- the falafel (or...

Guess That’s Why They Call it Window PAIN.
It had been a disastrous few weeks in My New Bristol Life, with everything ranging from being fired in my first week of work, getting the clap..., getting caught shoplifting and breaking my own bedroom window. Read all about it here, in my other blog where I mainly complain about things. However, I think you... Continue Reading →
Buen Bocado
BARCELONA Buen Bocado C/ Escudellers 31, Barcelona, España PRICE- 3-4 EUROS 3 things were learnt from our trip to Barcelona last year. Firstly, Primavera Sound 2014 festival was a load of crap. Secondly, there were thieves literally everywhere. And thirdly- there was at least one excellent falafel shop. The Barcelona Falafel scene was not half... Continue Reading →
