Your favorite restaurant? And how many times a year do you eat there?

[VeganHunter]

OK, let's skip fast food places, and talk about real restaurants.

I have an Indian place near me called Shagun. We go about 6x a year.

[Reeve]

Right now probably Beaver's. I eat there maybe 35 times a year.

Really it's more about drinking there and talking to my fellow barstool sitters though.

McDonald's.

Joking, I don't go to restaurants but I do buy some crap from McDonald's every now and then.

[TZK203]

Outback Steakhouse.

Yes, I'm being serious. The Bloomin' Onion may be bad for my arteries, but it keeps me coming back for more.

[Revi]

Don't have a favorite, but I'm really fond of proper grilled steaks. Go out to a restaurant maybe 6-10 times a year.

[BergErr]

Thai place, going there 1-3 times per week.

[pvrwizard]

don't have an absolute favorite. but we have our favority chinese place, our favorite italilan place etc etc.

Chinese - Bug Buddha
Italian - Babbo Itialian Eatery
Mexican - Las Conzuelas
Steaks - Texas Roadhouse
Pizza - Barro's
Burgers -Booty's Burgers and Beer
Breakfast - Genie G's

then there is places like Black Bear Diner that has all you can eat fish on friday nights which is very good.

how often do we go out to eat to one of these restaurants? at LEAST twice a week we eat out. soooo at least 100+ times a year if not more.

Place called Roxies here, damn good homemade food, tad expensive. Probably go about 15x a year. That includes lunches with my co-workers sometimes too though.

[Reeve]

The Curry House, it's a Japanese Curry place, I eat there once a week. Usually on Saturdays.

I didn't know the Japanese did curries.

[Bathory]

Fancy sushi place called Zento. Expensive but worth it. I go about once, twice a month. Great place to bring a date.

[Reeve]

They do, and it's marvelous: http://www.curryhouse-usa.com/

OK, that is the weirdest combination of stuff I've seen on a restaurant website. It's a cartoon of some Italian dude sipping from a ladle, and it's "Traditional Japanese Curry and Spaghetti." I wasn't aware Japan had traditional Spaghetti either.

[Priya-tan]

There's this hole-in-the-wall Thai place near me that's super cheap, but so, SO delicious. I probably go 10+ times a year (I don't eat out often, so that's a lot for me). There's also a great Chinese/Japanese place near where I grew up and I go there a handful of times a year if I can. I just love any kind of Asian food.

There's also a really good Halal food truck outside of my job that I frequent.

[Tziva]

teppanyaki place down the street. not a chain.

once a year on my birthday.

[the game]

I like a good chinese buffet resteraunt.

Wouldn't mind eating at one of Gordon Ramsay's resteraunts to see if they're as good as he makes them out to be though.

[Speaknoevil]

Fancy Indian restaurant
Eclectic Thai restaurant
Authentic Korean restaurant

Those are my favorites. The Indian place is adorned with all sorts of stuff, extremely well dressed staff and very expensive, so I don't go much. The Thai place is small, but in a good location, it has a lot of plants and what looks like hand woven place mats, that kind of vibe, really scenic. The Korean place is in a small pocket of the Korean community area of town, and it has traditional foods.

[Drodoo]

We have this Chinese place around the corner from me, China Garden or somthing. my fav. place.
I don't go there more then maybe twice a year tho as eating out is so bloody expensive in this country.

They have good reviews, and the food is excellent. It is also actually very "Japanese" in the feel inside. Very minimalist, and they have the best Cafe au Lait, in town.

Cafe au lait sounds very Japanese too...

I'm not denying it's good. I'm sure it's excellent. It's just odd.

[Jackmoves]

I don't really have a favorite per say.

But these are good because...
Burgersson - Because they got the best damn hamburgers. Around $15 for a bacon and cheese(no you don't get fries, no you do not get a soda). Whenever I feel the urge, it's close to our apartment. Everything is also sourced from "local" farmers.
Trattoria La Strega - Favorite Italian, 1-2 times per month.
Thörnströms kök - It's world class scandinavian, expensive but worth the money. Not very often, that would ruin me. Special occasions.


Honorable mention to Dorsia because the place is just fantastic looking.

[Mystrome]

For takeaway it's this local Chinese/Indonesian restaurant. Their babi pangang is amazing. Drop €25 there and you can feed 4 people comfortably and the food is just awesome. Haven't had any better anywhere else. Probably pick up food there every other month.

For going out it's a Greek restaurant part of a small chain, though i already went there before it became part of the chain. Menu changed slightly, but the quality hasn't. Still as good as ever. Since I'm not a big fan of eating outdoors i don't go often, so probably go there once a year or so out of the 3-4 'mandatory' dinners.

[belfpala]

Does my own count? I'll guess no.

I pretty much try every non-chain restaurant that opens within a many mile radius of me. A current favorite is an Italian place with very good pizza. I've been there maybe 6 times in the last year. Another is a typical pub, but with better than usual food... there, again maybe 6 times in the last year. And I can't count how many different vietnamese and thai places I've been to, or how often.
