Popped into Botanist today for a snout and a spot of lunch. They were only dealing with pre books so just had a couple of coffees, went to pay only to be advised they were on the house. Sat outside so never had much of a gander but all in all it looks really nice.
Unsure of where to eat we went on RKD's recommendation of Moloko for a bit of Tapas. It was very lively and full of ladies that lunch.
They do a set of three Tapas dishes for £15 (choose from about 12) and then a load of add ons from main menu if desired. We went for the riff raff x 2 plus 3 extra and it was more than enough - possibly too much.
So - 9 dishes plus a basket of bread with aioli was £59
Probably my best recent local meal and I include Unruly Pig and Mariners
Quite honestly it was 10/10.

Moloko sounds good. Do they do many vegetarian or vegan options?
Our group tends to do meals for occasions rather than lairy nights out these days, but there are a disproportionate number of meat avoiders amongst us. |  |

To be honest I can't say my eyes browsed over the veggy bit but I seem to think they might have had a fair section.
Do they eat fish? lots of fish obviously. We had Sardines, fish stew and prawn skewers - oh, we also had a fecking giant mushroom in a nice tomato based sauce and covered with melted cheese which was one of the best dishes. Oh, we also had deep fried goats cheese in breadcrumbs which was both substantial and tasty - plus the obligatory potato bravas.
I think the fussy feckers will be ok. The menu is bigger than the online menu. | |

I haven’t eaten at Moloko (have had plenty of cocktails though), but find it hard to believe it’s better than the Unruly Pig. Will give it a go soon.
I’m just back from the Ledbury - absolutely incredible meal, but not much change from £400. |  | | |

"Better" is subjective really isn't it. Unruly Pig is fine dining and wouldn't have tolerated the noise from a large table at the back and the staff wouldn't have had tomato stains on their uniforms.
....but to me it was more enjoyable and tasted better. That said, I love a bit of Spanish type food and like the more casual dining experience. It's also fair to say that as an old growler who smokes and drinks a lot my palette may be a bit knackered and it's likely that the sort of food in The Unruly Pig is a bit subtle.
That said, I really wasn't blown away with my last Pig meal.
I hear you have taken a shine to Copenhagen? I only went there once and that was when my plane went technical so it was grounded there. The following day I had to fly to Sweden and then Finland before flying to my final destination! It could have been worse, half of the plane had to fly back in the morning to Heathrow.
Anyhoo, I didn't get a chance to sample Copenhagen nightlife but next to Koh Samui I think Copenhagen airport is the finest I have been to - with it's parquet floors and all that. [Post edited 24 Apr 2022 10:38]

Yeah I’ve been a couple of times now, most recently over Easter. Perfect city break destination I reckon - short flight, airport is right next to the city, incredible restaurants and great nightlife. Got a couple of trips to Dam in the next couple of months too so I’ll go and say hi to Frank! | | | |

Frank is no longer where he was - had a row with the Big Boss!
I might be back over there end of May but I'm missing KD for the first time in about 20 years. | |

Copenhagen is great but like all Scandi destinations punishingly expensive. |  |

Enjoy! They do love a drink over there but it’s about a tenner a beer from memory. | |
