http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33413 Choose from the vast menu displayed above the long counter, pay (around a quid) for your meal, grab a piece of paper with a number scribbled on it, and see if you can bag a table by the window. As you wait for the waiter to call your number - and if it's a clear day - you can gaze at Kanchenjunga, India's highest mountain, the third highest peak in the world. If you've had enough of mountains (is that possible?) I recommend some simple people watching: a cavalcade of characters swiftly passes through, mainly very cold-looking domestic Indian tourists in idiosyncratic get-ups (the women in be-jewelled, kitten heeled sandals, the men in extravagant bobble hats and tight gilets).
We ate here several times, and a typical meal would include two enormous bowls of (veg) chow mein and two lassis for 120INR (around £1.50).
The kitchen is behind the counter, so you can watch all the food being prepared and cooked in front of you. It doesn't get much fresher.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33413 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32968 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32968 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32632 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32632 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31950 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31950 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31943 Do not expect speed at Nourish but the vegetarian food is nothing short of amazing. Fruit shepherds pie, you must eat it to believe it.

Trips: Drive highway 1A to Lake Louise for bears and wild elk and stunning scenery. Walk up to Lake Agnes and go to the tea shop. Visit Morraine Lake.
Walk up to Stewart canyon at Lake Miniwanka - it is amazing.
Do the Banff gondola, The Whyte museum and visit Bow falls. What a great place to stay.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31943 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31215 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31215 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30958 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30958 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30425 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30425 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29862 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29862 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29861 When you visit Hitchcock's you are treated to something likened to a surrealist mystery tour.
The interior rambles it's way in a confusion of rooms situated on several levels creating natural havens and hideaways where couples or groups of friends can gather together to savour not only the delicious vegetarian and vegan cuisine that's on offer, but also the atmosphere created by a mixture of eclectic and eccentric styles mixed in with a quirky collection of thrift store curiosities.
The menu for the evening is chosen by the first person to book for that particular night. And they can choose menus based on the cuisine from a particular country. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the desserts, and as it's a buffet you can eat as much as you want!
It's certainly the best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been too by far!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29861 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29860 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29860 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29858 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29858 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29854 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29854 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29853 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29853 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29852 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29852 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29848 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29848 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29847 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29847 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29846 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29846 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29845 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29845 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29844 This Gujerati vegetarian restaurant has been dishing out no nonsense veggie meals for years. The lunch thali buffet is great value at £2.50 and seems to get better each time I go there. I first ate here in 1990 and was last there a couple of weeks ago and it was as good as ever.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29844
