I'm glad...Blogger must have eaten my comment! <br /><br />I'm glad that you made it to Gasometer and mostly enjoyed your meals but am surprised that you didn't order the pierogi! I have a new appreciation for pierogi as I made some last weekend. They tasted fantastic but were quite fiddly and time consuming to put together. <br /><br />Love your photos and the write-up, it is such a quaint pub to relax and enjoy a meal in. I love the variety and innovation of the vegan meals available as they are so different to other places. I'm pleased to hear that they are open for weekend lunches these days, I'll keep this in mind for the future!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-12696204586872719852012-06-25T10:36:41.947+10:002012-06-25T10:36:41.947+10:00Your pictures make the meals look lovely so it'...Your pictures make the meals look lovely so it's a pity they were good rather than wow-ing (except for the pretzel!). The location and open fire do sound like a perfect base for a cold day though, and the range of dishes on offer is impressive. <br /><br />As a complete side step, I am impressed that you dislike coffee - or rather, I am impressed that there are people out there who function without coffee! I am not a big coffee drinker but I struggle to start the work day without it :SKarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350144954173714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-86060876887367739902012-06-25T08:17:49.450+10:002012-06-25T08:17:49.450+10:00This sounds like a great place to eat - will have ...This sounds like a great place to eat - will have to check it out.
