This friendly little place in the Jardin Plaza shopping mall is a home away from home. As soon as the sun sets it is cool and the drinks are first rate.
The ornate iron and stained glass bar entrance of the former Grove Hotel, Buxton - closed since 2017. 21st January 2020.
Found near John's Cove, this old sofa was well beyond any hope of affordable reupholstering. How it came to be missing a large chunk of its stuffing is a mystery. Birds will sometimes seek out fluffy material for nest building, Judging by its condition, this thing has been out in the weather for quite some time. Whatever took the huge "bite" out of it has a large supply of stuffing still available.
Although my photos might give the impression that Yarmouth Bar is a horrible debris and rubbish strewn area, it's really not the case. It has some fairly "untidy" areas that are full of photographically "interesting" subjects.

I recruited this band member out of a smoky bar in Tijuana where he was playing for drinks and tips, and selling wart removal cream on the side. He gets a lot of requests for "Squeeze Box".

Les Gourmets Des Ternes in lovely Knightsbridge is a (proper) Parisian bistro - food is typical bistrot French - traditional, not nouvelle (but having not tried any I can’t properly comment in that yet!…). We were there for the cocktail bar, the 'the Rendez-Vous’ - head upstairs to the first floor and there you shall find it. Said bar’s focus seems to be on French wines (some of them ‘fine’ - if you know what I mean…) plus cocktails made from the orange liqueur, Cointreau (also French, and quite good!)
The space itself is small and intimate, there’s a balcony terrace that you access by actually climbing out of a window (I thought this was a mistake at first but no, this is part of the fun - especially with alcohol involved). Almost all the staff are French speaking, so it seems like a good place to go and indulge your Francophile tendencies (assuming that you have Francophile tendencies of course… you could just go for the cocktails). Also on the bar snacks menu are pastries from La Patisserie Des Reves. In terms of prices, it can be pretty costly here - even by Knightsbridge standards. What can I say… indulge yourself?
I said earlier that they’re a ‘proper’ Parisian bistro: the original Les Gourmets des Ternes (opened in 1962 in the 8th District of Paris) is something of a Parisian culinary institution, with repeat customers including Sharon Stone and Jack Nicholson (Les Gourmets have photographic evidence of this on their walls). We also got to meet Maximilien (‘Max') Marie - the 20something grandson of Francis, the restaurant’s founder. He was a swell and ‘dynamic' guy and wore a shiny silver suit. It might not have been a shiny silver suit but that’s how my memory has decided he was dressed!
Would certainly return for actual food since, if what I have read is anything to go by, their previous restaurants have set the bar pretty highly! On that note, there’s another Gourmets Des Ternes in Maida Vale - which has been there for longer.
While the cookie base of oatmeal and brown sugar was delicious, the filling was absolutely divine. It’s lusciously thick, fudgy with just a hint of espresso.

My avatar in my (now defunct) gallery in the virtual world Second Life years ago. The illustrations (acrylics and iPad) were by me and the bar code still works taking you to another of my paintings (thanks for the warning). The picture on the right is also a bar code but the original link seems to have been broken.
Recipe to follow...you can make these as bars or drop cookies, your choice.
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup raw sugar
1/4 cup tofu
1/4 cup crushed peanuts
Mix everything together - drop by spoon fulls opn parchment lined cookie sheet or spread in a parchment lined pan. Dust with cocoa nibs. Bake 20-30 minutes at 350 F. Try adding chocolate chips instead of peanuts if you like.
I realized yesterday that I can mix my favorite drink at most bars. At home I mix fruit juices 50/50 with sparkling water, and bars have soda water on tap - and juice. The bartender called it a "grapefruit spritzer" - I like the sound of that.
...the same creeper technique at some place called Brinks Lounge on East Washington. The reflections are great and would be even better if I had brought my regular 18-250 lense.
