Food, food, food

As Ann tweeted yesterday we went to see Avatar last night and decided it would be a good idea to meet with our friends first and have some dinner. Our friends live in Pollokshields and had previously mentioned that they really wanted to try Roma Mia on Darnley Street so we agreed to meet there at 7:30.

However, things then went down hill as I got stuck at work, trying to finish a presentation and was therefore running late. While speedily completing my drawings I got a call to say that our friends had just walked past Roma Mia and it was closed. They then asked if we'd go to Mulberry Street with them instead and so we agreed to meet there at 7:45 to give me time to get home and change. Unfortunately, the trains were all delayed due to the cold weather and so after 30mins wait I was still standing in Central Station, where I got another call to say that the Mulberry didn't have any tables free. To be honest, I was so hungry by that point I was about to give up and just get some sandwiches from M+S. A texting debate started as we all suggested places to try next, everything from the new African place Camflava, to Cookie, to the Brooklyn Cafe.

In the end however it became clear that everyone was still thinking about the first choice Roma Mia and that an Italian was in order, so we agreed to meet at Mimmo's. Mimmo's is a newish Italian Restaurant on St Andrews Road in Pollokshields a few doors down from the more established L'Aragosta, which is another place we've been meaning to try for ages. Thankfully Mimmo's was not too busy and we managed to get a table - hurrah.

I'll add some notes about the meal once I get home and get the photos off my camera but the reason for this post is because I realised last night that there are so many restaurants in the Southside, its going to cost us a small fortune and several belt sizes to get round them all.
