Had a small ... when I saw 2.1% lager, but you made up for it with the JD! Enjoy GIB.

I didn’t get very far :) right outside the Yacht is O’Reilly’s bar where the thirst became uncontrollable and I’ve paused for a nice Estrella before moving on. €2.95 a pint, I need to relocate :D

The chicken and chorizo ciabatta was not bad, but I was robbed on the chorizo front!!

Not so, you clearly have chicken on one half and chorizo on the other, what else were you expecting?

And to the restaurant, I may live to regret this, if I live :D

I always search the Trip Reports forum when planning a trip, it’s an incredibly valuable resource. Imagine my surprise when the last TR I could find was ages ago. I would have thought that Gibraltar would be a well trodden path for the members of FlyerTalk, but clearly not. it’s time to fill that void :)

I eventually decided on the chilli paneer (medium) and the Szechuan rice. The paneer was a Newcastle medium hot, not a Birmingham medium hot, but it was very tasty, as was the chicken rice which was absolutely full of flavour.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6d5c3f725.jpeg I ordered both dishes without veg (of course) :) usually the paneer comes with peppers to add a splash of colour, and the rice usually comes with onion. Both dishes were very very good. The entire place is reminiscent of the spit and sawdust curry houses I used to frequent in London thirty years ago. Fairly simple dishes done well. Now I will add a proviso to my glowing recommendation … let’s see what tomorrow morning brings :D |

The sizzling tikka starter that has just been delivered to the table behind me, it smells amazing, I have food envy :) And the bill for tonight https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2565fc013.jpeg It is time to finish up the Jack Rabbit Sauvignon Blanc and then find a night cap before heading to bed for an early night. |
The weather in Gib is certainly looking better than in Luxembourg - but as discussed that also serves for gaining a last pair of GUF1s :D

I didn’t pass anything on the way back to the yacht that took my fancy and so I’m now ensconced in the Gastrobar on deck 3. There’s a DJ in the corner pumping out thumpy thumpy music, but happily the volume is such that I can let it wash over me and concentrate on the large Hennessy XO that has just appeared. And when I say large…. a standard single here is 50ml so that’s 1/7th of a bottle in that glass!! Errr… ooops?

Time to close down the night with a taste of the local blackstrap cove whisky
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6912cd0b8.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d51ca4213.jpeg It is very potable, light in the nose, easy on the palate and with a decent amount of burn on the way down. I think I need to pick up a bottle or three to take home. |
A very JapesUK end to the evening, well done sir. Hoping the malt burning is the only burn you experience…….ooh err matron🔥

Just enough time for the sausage extravaganza. I appreciate that they know how to actually cook a sausage here, as opposed to the pale and insipid offerings elsewhere
