What was the last meal you had out?

Where? And what did you have?
I'll get the thread going.
Last night we went to Bukowski Grill (a good alternative to Honest, which is too crowded these days), the burger and rib joint in Brixton Market.
Great burgers (mine was cooked very rare, as I requested) and pulled pork rolls, tobacco onions, coleslaw and chips triple-cooked in beef dripping. Lovely.
£68 for four including service and a beer each. Good value.
So come on guys and gals, let's hear where you went...
Last meal out was at the Enoteca Tognoni in Bolgheri (a sort of Wine-Mecca, but I won't bore you with that) in Tuscany. We had Carne Cruda, which is Italian Steak Tartare, but prepared very simply, just olive oil, lemon and pepper. Delicious.
Talking of meat though, on Friday I cooked myself this:
Leclerc was out of ready meals...
Lovely. Perhaps it was beef. Certainly not 'cheap'.
(I always do too much pasta)

Rod,
The steak looks delicious. I've eaten cheval/horse, including Tartare Cheval, many times in France and Switzerland. I enjoy it. It's no problem, IMO, as long as you know it's what it's supposed to be.

Ok Kev,it was last Saturday in a fine restaurant close to my place.First of all it was a pleasant evening because of the people sitted at my table.Dinner consisted of:fettuccine(kind of pasta,so to change
)with a lovely sea urchin sauce,then a tender and crunchy young pork with roasted potatoes.I started with a "withe"Vermentino di Gallura,then half a glass of Cannonau,always from Sardinia.That's all.
Val d'Isère - a long lunch on a very snowy Friday - I hope that I will be going back.
I would be really shattered if that were true but skiing was two weeks ago.
I did of course eat while in Madrid but in was a football trip so essentially complimentary tapas 
Not out but...Had to go out and get ... And cook...

Horrible ... I won't be going back there.
Come on Guy, don't be a tease... what did you have? And where? (So we can avoid if necessary 
)
The Canton Arms in Stockwell SW8 is renowned for its toasties. Had never been but we went yesterday. Love the place - it's got good food at decent prices and is not too gastropubby or middle-class foodie; there's still a bit of the old Stockwell scuzz about the place.
Anyway, I had the infamous haggis toastie with brown sauce. It was rich, filling and delightfully savoury and meaty. Absolutely delicious. Two toasties and a couple of drinks each, about £25.
Will be going back soon for the foie gras toastie
