I am a big Taste card fan.
Last year saved my family and friends over £1200 pounds on meals we would have had anyway, and discovered many interesting new restaurants along the way. I have had over 20 friends and colleagues sign up so they could save too.
Thank you taste card, my next holiday is on you!
Favourite tastecard restaurtant has to be Londinium on London Bridge Rd. It’s close to home and cooks great British food. Saved a lot as my friends and I have been qutie a few times!!
We could go to some nice restaurants in Mayfair that without taste card we could not afford.
My favourite Taste resturant? The Caribbean Scene in Stratford. Not only is the food very tasty with a great selection of dishes, but the really welcomed us as Tastecard holders and even gave us more off the bill than the card said we were entitled *to. We saved around £25
* This was not a mistake, they chose to do it
My favourite tastecard restaurant is cafe Rouge in Wimbledon because their duck there is absolutely amazing. I have made many a friend convert to this restaurant and dish by taking them there.
Zizzis is by far the best saved around £40 and the food was lovely ad well
Las Iguanas in Oxford was great and we saved about £15. Was goooooooooooooooooood!
My favourite TasteCard Restaurant is Zizzi (The Strand), I couldn’t begin to count up how much we have saved as we have been there so many times. Great Food, Great Staff!!!
We always get good value wherever we use our Taste Card. Especially like Cafe Rouge in Hays Galleria and Zizzi in Shad Thames.
My favourite so far has been Iznik, a great Turkish restaurant in Highbury, London N5.
Really yummy food and great service.
I think we saved around £20 and will definitely be going back!
Fav taste card restaurant is Zizzi Highgate – convenient and I know what am getting for my money
My Ffav is MaGoa in East Putney – small, quiet, friendly and great food- perfect!
My favourite Tastecard Restaurant is MaGoa – great food, great ambience, small and friendly- just what the doctor ordered between this London 2012 craziness
My favourite Tastecard restaurant is 40 The Hill in Wimbledon. Amazing steaks, good wine list and outdoor seating to watch the world go by. 2-4-1 sticks to the budget too
favourite place Oakley court hotel in windsor afternoon tea and light lunches tried so far . beautiful setting and near the river
Aqua in Croydon – a Mediterranean restaurant. 50% discount and I’ve been a few times, have probably saved over £100 in total.
Livebait Leeds… just round the corner from my nephew’s flat, so great food, great wine, great company and no driving = great night!
we <3 strada…… we saved quite a bit of money, too hard to calculate for the many many times!
Putney resident and spoilt for choice with Tastecard in the local area! Ma Goa has to take it though for their choice, flavours and service, not to mention the 2 for 1s!
My favourite so far is the bar at Washbourne Court in the gorgeous Cotswolds where we have great dinners with friends at half price, how much better does it get than that.
my favourite tastecard restaurant is Zizzi at Edinburgh Quay, Edinburgh – friendly staff, lovely food & always a delightful partner to dine with
Cafe Rouge Worcester, aaaaannndddd… Pizza Express Worcester. It’s BOGOF, so I go to both! x
Either Pizza Express and La Tasca. The deals from the tastecard are such a brilliant bargain and is sweetened even more by the delicious taste of the cuisine around us.
my favourite taste card use is cafe rouge could,nt say how much I saved but it was well worth it
Kobe in Leeds very good food 50% off bill so have fine many times now

My favourite as of yet has to be prezzo in Canterbury as it was a night out with friends. Must of saved a good £10/£15 which is a lot when you’re a student.
El Metro, Fuham, Great Good, and much..Saved over £40!!
We love our Taste card as I am on the wrong side of 7o it gets me going to restaurants and tasting new foods I would not have dreamed of doing three years ago the pension would not have run to we also have been able to go to events and thoroughly enjoyed our days out and finding places to see and eat all over the country now
During two crises in my life, with two major illness. My neighbour’s have come out in force. They fully looked after me in and out of hospital. This would be my way of thanking them all together.
Its so difficult for me to pick one retaurant because i have four top ones that i eat in regularly. I just love food, wither its cooking it, preparing it, or the best bit eating it, yum. Ive never been to the food festival before, but hopefully i win then i can see for myself
I think that Esfahan restaurant in Putney is excellent value for money using the tastecard. Top quality Persian cuisine and very friendly too!
Few weeks ago, I decided to take a friend to Cape Town Fish Market in London, using my TasteCard. I rarely eat seafood and until recently wasn’t too keen on it but I thought given the discount, it was worth the trial.
I absolutely fell in love with the restaurant. The atmosphere, the waiting staff but most of all, the food!!!! It was just amazing! Classic and special dishes, everything was great and with the £30 I saved on the bill, I decided to go back as soon as I will be back from holidays!!! I can’t wait!!!!
Foodie festival – yeay! Zizzi Highgate is one of my favourite Tastecard haunts, as its convenient and their rustic pizza is amazing!!

We like the Huntingtower hotel near Perth -it has a relaxing reception area and excellent food -plus we got canapes while we perused the menu.
Our party was 9 so we paid for 6 and got 3 free as they allow up to 6 in a party using your tatstecard
Good venue for weddings as well
I love the tastcard I have tried so many new restaurants with the card but love taking my grandchildren to Prezzo’s and Pizza Express both in Radlett I have been delighted with the savings that we have made.
El Metro Fuham Great Food
El Metro, Fuham, Great Good,
Those we have been to, in reverse order of enjoyment:
10. Pietra, Waterloo, Liverpool L22.
Good steaks but lacking in atmosphere. Supplements on meals for use of the card probably also affected our judgement.
9. Spicy Haandi, Wembley.
Good curry, informal dining, very pleasant staff.
8. The Horshoe Inn, Oakham.
Good steaks again, quite nice staff.
7. Chinese Delight, Waterloo, Liverpool L22.
Pleasant traditional restaurant, excellent starters, quick service – would have liked to have been able to order more using the card!
6. Cafe Sports England, Liverpool L1
As a firm supporter of a Liverpool based football team that plays in red, I was already warming towards Jamie Carragher’s bistro style venue before I entered. With our family guests, we weren’t let down – very good and friendly service and very good food was had by all. Great location.
5. Bar Under the Stars, Bristol.
With a novel location on a barge, tapas like this is memorable. Quaintly amateur but charming, we’d go again. Great for a party.
2= Da Capo, Liverpool L3.
A little off the beaten track for the city centre, this is a warm and cosy restaurant that serves fantastic Greek and Italian food. Subtle and friendly service, this was a perfect location for a family get-together.
2= Tapas Tapas, Waterloo, Liverpool L22.
Literally everything is orderable with the card and we kind of ordered everything, even a full plate of paella after all the tapas. The Spanish beverages are a lovely accompaniment.
2= Christakis, Liverpool L1.
Excellent food and service, the Halloumi and Lountza starter is fabulous!
1. Guanabara, London, WC2A
Fabulous night out with friends, good food, half price cocktails before 7pm, then a dance show, a band and a Brazilian style disco – heaven!
And that concludes our tastecard review!
I just love my Ask restaurant in Northampton, the food is to die for…we visit there every two weeks have great savings around 20/25 pounds that pays for a nice bottle of wine..
La Tasca, freinds and family sharing and tasting sooo many dishes and saving as we do it too makes it taste that so much sweeter .
Pizza Express £3
Pizza Express is a 2 for 1 ALL courses. So piggy me goes straight for a Pizza followed by one of their fantastic puddings with coffee. We often save over £20 for two people in Solihull
I have always loved Pizza Express and now I have a Tastecard I can save £s at my local one in Wimbledon. Double bubble
My favourite restaurant is Cafe des Amis in Covent garden use’d it many times this year,let’s you use it at weekends which really suits me, allows you to take up to eight people and by coincidence I’m going there tonight then off to the trycycle theatre to see Jazz at the cafe society.Just living the dream.
My favourite Tastecard restaurant is cafe des Amis in covent garden used it many times as it is near the theatres,saved at least £220 I the past year.
My favourite place has to be Pizza Express. I just luuuuuv pizza. So with 2-4-1 at so many places I save loads.
My favourite as of yet has to be prezzo in victoria as it was a night out with large group of friends. Must of saved well over £50 in total which is an absolute bargain.
My favourite as of yet has to be prezzo in Canterbury as it was a night out with friends. Must of saved a good £10/£15 which is a lot when you’re a student.
I love Prezzo of Romsey and we eat there at least once a week saving us in total of a £1000 in 9 months fabulous.
Osteria dell’Arancio is a fabulous decadent italian restaurant that my husband and I love and thanks to the tastecard we are able to afford to go there as much as we like! We probably save over 40 pounds per visit!
My favourite restaurant is GUY’S in Albion Street Glasgow. The steak pie is to die for as are all other choices of pies and meals.
The Beamish Mary County Durham, we had 2 main meals and 2 puddings for £10 BRILLIANT.
Pizza Express – saved a fortune, more than the card cost already!
Chillingham Arms, South Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne, there food is already very reasonable but with the tastecard WOW
Cattlemans association in Harrogate .Great steaks saved £48 when 4 of us dined there for the wifes birthday .Also the tapas tree in shipley good food and great value at half price.
ANY PIZZA EXPRESS JUST LOVE IT
Thai Silk near Waterloo. A large group of us stumbled upon it through the tastecard app after getting soaked watching the Jubilee River Pageant. Its a great place tucked away down a leafy pedestrian street so make sure you know the address or you might miss it! The food was excellent and as a party of 12 with the tastecard we saved a fortune! The card was meant to give us 50% off for 8 people but I’m pretty sure they just gave us 50% off the whole bill. Mind you we did order a lot of booze…
My favourite tastecard restaurant is Mint Leaf Lounge in Bank as I went with a date and not only was the night a success, it also saved us 50%, which meant we spent more on drinks! Perfect!
GOZ Turkish restaurant in Coulsdon – our party saved £144.00 on a recent visit – food and service excellent and the Turkish wine is excellent!
