Quick one = Is Nestors really that good ? It isn't the cheapest place but i'm intrigued ? Fancied trying the steak that keeps getting mentioned but i'm relying on you guys to give honest reports.... :)
Title: Re: 7 Weeks and counting!!!
Post by: lionfish on September 24, 2012, 08:03:16 AM
Yes, Nestors IS that good!
You need to book the day before, so be warned.

Post by: denboy on September 28, 2012, 20:13:20 PM
paddster,you,ve got to try nestors,its fantastic.i suggest you try the argentinian mixed grill.its got 3 different   steaks on it,plus chicken and pork,and argentinian sausage.the argentinian sausage is delicious.it comes with cauliflower cheese,chips and salad.if you can finish it you,re a better man than me.you can always doggy bag it like we did.next time we go i,m getting the mixed grill and the wife is getting a light meal and we will split it between us.try it mate,you wont be disappointed.

Not that we're counting lol

It will be so nice to get back, it was October last year, so just hope there's still some sunshine left for us in December.
In 2009 we stayed in December, then in 2010 it was last week Nov ( the storm ) then last year 2011 it was October and it was gorgeous..

Can't wait to be honest, feels like too long since we were last over  ;)
