We had to come back the next week, as this is opening at 5pm.. Once we were inside, we were received by a lovely man... asking about our reservation, the one we didn't have, but the restaurant was empty so far, so we didn't have any problems to sit. The atmosphere was correct, normal amount of dishes for the money, 16 pounds for 2, and some sweets. All products look fresh, and they have tap water, which is always and options to save some pounds for expensive drinks.. The service was okay, but quite slow taking the dirty dishes. Some tables were quite close to the toilet too.. But the most important, value for money was right.

Basically if you can cook it on a grill the brasserie will deal in said animal/plant.

The staff are friendly, saying all this though I have had chums who've been disappointed before. O and before I finish up, the prices are reasonable too.

*****BRASSERIE CHEZ GERRARD , ALBERT SQUARE*****…read more We visited Chez Gerrard on Albert Square on Saturday7th August. The three of us were greeted by a pleasant young lady and were shown to our table. We were seated in the front part of the restaurant facing the Town Hall Square. We perused the menu whilst our wine order was taken. The fixed price option was moderately price but didn't particularly like the starters, so we decided to have a mixed platter of ham, cheese, 2 different pates accompained by red onion relish & pickles, from the al a carte. This proved to be a generous portion and we all tucked in and enjoyed this with french bread & butter. The main course we chose were salmon omelette for my wife & the chicken pane with french fries for my son and myself. To finish my wife had the selection of ice creams and my son and myself had the Belgian waffle with chocolate sauce and Vanilla ice cream. The whole occasion was relaxed and the food was delicious. The added attraction was the constant flow of wedding parties using the Town Hall steps for photograph! In all, an excellent meal, moderately priced, served by pleasant, attentive yet inobtusive waiting staff. Would recommend without hesitation.

For far too long my home town of Ashton under Lyne has been short of an eatery which offers an…read moreinteresting alternative to the usual British lunchtime food. Then I was lucky enough to be recommended a new café in town called Mozaic, it's an authentic Moroccan establishment with all the food freshly prepared onsite. From my first visit I was instantly welcomed by the owner who is only too happy to let you try any of the exotic looking dishes on offer before you buy. You can certainly tell they are passionate about the food here.... you can taste it in every mouth full. They really know they're stuff and can reassuringly explain the ingredients of their dishes, offer serving suggestions or if you are hungry enough can give you a little taste of everything if you wish. You can take away or eat in, there are only five or six tables if you do choose to eat in so it's rather cosy; however this adds to the charm of the place. The falafel is the best I have ever tasted and if you want something filling and tasty on the go then I would suggest one of their flat bread wraps, which with any 2 side salads for about £3 - is about as excellent value for money as you can get for fresh food. There is a large selection of cold salads as well as hot dishes including vegetarian options, all the dishes I have tried so far I have enjoyed tremendously. Normally this is the kind of place that would outshine most similar establishments in Didsbury, Chorlton and the like which why it's even more exciting that we have something to sparkle on this side of the M60. For those of you who think that excellent cultural culinary delights finish at the End of Wilbraham Road, I implore you to make a visit Mozaic.

I usually get a wrap which includes three sides; the price comes to £4.50 and it's massive. They have a lot of variety on offer, so I really would recommend if you're in the area. I only wish they were perhaps better at marketing themselves so I would have found them earlier - I've walked past thousands of times over the last decade and only just found out them a couple of weeks ago!

Tapaz is a relatively new player on the Bolton food scene, but is truly storming the review sites…read more People speak incredibly highly of it, and it's currently in the top #5 in Bolton on TripAdvisor. I've been meaning to try it for a fair while, and finally got chance recently. The building itself is one of Bolton's grand older buildings with high ceilings and arched windows, but when you step inside it's somewhat surprising. I think part of me expected a tapas bar to be more Spanish "themed"like other tapas venues I've visited, but the decor is a combination of bright simple modernity, and... budoir? Elegant rustic iron sconces and lamp shades give that touch of Spain, but the crushed purple velvet benches and snow leopard print chairs seem a bit of an odd choice! However, it's clean, functional, and welcoming. We are seated and given the menus by a friendly member of staff. We are happy to see that there is an "all you can eat" tapas option, which is always nice, so we opt for that! The menu is left with us so that we can choose from up to any 3 dishes at a time, but reorder as many times as we'd like. Instead of listing each of the tapas we ordered, I'll simply share the photos here on Yelp. The tapas came in good time, and every one of them was hot, fresh, and delicious. Special props go to some specific things we commented on, including the fantastic citrus taste that came with the Bacalao Frito (breaded white fish with tartare), the sheer tenderness of the Costillas de Cerdo (BBQ ribs), and the incredibly rich flavours of the Chorizo al Vino (Spanish spicy sausage in red onions and red wine). It also allowed us to try "Chicken Bastilla" for a first time, which is shredded chicken in a crispy pastry, but then topped with cinnamon and sugar! It's apparently a Moroccan staple, but this was our first time trying it, and although it was a very strange idea to get used to, it worked surprisingly well! Like a cross between the end of your dinner and the start of your dessert! The service is friendly and efficient without being intrusive, and the value is superb. Even if we didn't go for the 'all you can eat' option, the prices were great, with lunch specials also available. As we paid I managed to embarrass myself by messing up with the card payment machine and accidentally giving a 10p tip, making me look like the stingiest tipper on the face of the planet, but despite this, the staff member who took our payment didn't let any sort of reaction show on his face. Truly professional! I noticed this on the bill as I was walking out the door, and so turned and left a bit of a better tip in change at the bar. The one thing I will say is that I will be giving a much bigger and more deserved tip next time I visit, as I will most definitely be returning, and hopefully will have enough room to try a dessert! We can very much see how Tapaz has earned its praise! Muy bien! :)

You may well have seen in a lot of my reviews, Bolton gets somewhat of an easy ride, partly because…read moreI'm proud of my town but partly because I know where not to go. I hadn't been before, but honestly I don't know if I'd go back to Tapaz. It wasn't bad, so let me start by saying that! Inside, it's trendy and intimate and a good spot for a date night. They have a decent wine menu, though you can only order house red/white by the glass so if you're not planning on drinking lots you're limited for choice (minus points). Food wise, some of the dishes were great - the Chorizo De Vino was superb - potentially the best Chorizo dish I've had at a Tapas restaurant as I feel a lot of places over power the sauce or dressing with Chorizo - Tapaz didn't (plus points). The rest of the food left a bit to the imagination, not bad by any stretch, just average and average can't receive higher than 3 stars in my opinion. Calamari was decent, and the chicken dish (I've forgotten the name) was fairly good however the Patatas - both Bravas and Pesto - were way below the normal standard I'd expect. Tapaz is a decent restaurant, and with the competition surrounding it, probably the best of the bunch, but I think that goes more to showing the lack of good food in Bolton as appose to Tapaz's quality. Not bad, but not great.
