Ithaca Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 So what's the deal with this place, is it a Tapas type affair where you order a little dish of loads of different things? A set menu...?xxPreety much as Lucky as pointed out. Go in, sit down. Salad bar in the middle of the restaurant which you just take your plate up to and help yourself (as tempting as it is, don't go nuts here people - you'll want to leave plenty of room for meat!). Sit back down and dudes in baggy trousers with huge slabs of meat go round the tables with their meat swords (haha), cutting slices off for all who want to partake. Each placing has a card next to it with one red side and one green side (flip it to the side you want depending on your carnivourous desire). Note that in my experiance the 'cheaper' (but still damn tasty) cuts of meat are normally offered to you first (chicken, sausage etc) in a clever ploy to fill you up before the sirloins and such like start doing the rounds (especially if you're in a large group) - you have been warned!Never had a bad experiance there - highly recommend.

ca_gere Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I've seen this card thing in few restaurants. I like the idea that all you need is a card, you don't even need to speak to the waiter and can concentrate on stuffing your face. Green = MORE MEAT!!! Red = My work here is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Although when I was there they generally ignored it when we turned the cards over and kept offering us meat which, stupidly, we accepted in an attempt to one-up each other with regards to eating as much as humanly possible.

"You're ordering 6 tapas? Right I'm ordering 6 tapas. We are not leaving this table until everything is eaten". Spanish omelette was a mistake. Very filling.

Lemonade Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Probably better service too. In La Tasca I sat with an empty glass for 25 minutes last week trying to get the waiter's attention to get some more beers. I almost had to clothesline the cunt. Bad waiter.

Old Gold Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I heard that the La Tasca staff are on the verge of complete scum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I did similar in La Tasca recently. "You're ordering 6 tapas? Right I'm ordering 6 tapas. We are not leaving this table until everything is eaten". Spanish omelette was a mistake. Very filling.Some of us ate things twice, like the second time the ribs came round. That's when I faltered. The post meal drinks at Under the Hammer were very quiet until we started making jokes whenever someone uncomfortably waddled off to the loo.

berti Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 went here last night, can highly recommend it also.As mentioned though, the waiters do generally just ignore your card being turned over to red, they still offer you meat.I would steer clear of the pork sausage though, dear christ im still burping up garlicy goodness now. Epic meat pumps ahoy though which is always fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I want to go, meat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I went. I want to go again. The only thing I didn't try was the sausage and that was only cos there was nowhere on my plate to put itg when they brought it round. Amazing scenes.

Paranoid Android Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I was at a party last weekend where the food was Brazilian B.B.Q. It was awesome. I think I'll definitely check this place out next month when I'm in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
