the exelsior aaah.. Bliss. a timeless panacea to materialism. to be aregular is to be a member of a select david lynch style soap opera. its awesome. most memorable food i had: chicken francaise, pigeon, brought in by a friend in black bin liners; risotto:- yesterdays spaghetti bolognese chopped on a bed of rice with the ubiquitous chip garnish awesome, it always put a smile on my face! rice pasta and chips served on one plate! moussaka is a must.

Absolute authenticity. sit in a back corner with aview of the door and watch the whole gammut of life. mum's with kids, church meeting just come from..church; community police officers talking their business; oxford tutors with visiting academics talking further reaches of physics, traditionally theres a regular collects bugattis, and see if you cafind the original james bond- bare knuckle boxer and man on the ground in cold war europe.
