Support your neighbourhood elaborate restaurant

Alimentum, opposite the cinema just after the perpetually-roadworked bridge on Hills Road, have a pudding made out of marshmallows, honeycomb, toffee, banana icecream and caramel mousse, served in a smoke-filled preserving jar. It tastes of bonfire night with bananas.

I convinced the Geek Pizza People to be Geek Elaborate-Restaurant People this week, and a good time and fantastic food seems to have been had by all. Maybe leave a few weeks to recover from the shock of the new, then propose sushi.

OOI did anyone have the vegetarian option? If so, what did they make of it? From the menus it tends to look... well, as though they've put a lot less effort and imagination into it from any of the meat dishes - is this also the case in person, as it were?

I'm more likely to be persuaded to do sushi, since they might have something vegan/DF veggie.

That pudding sounds awesome. How did you rig the geek-pizza dessert-vote to be sure you could stay for it? 8-)

Sounds cool, I shall have to go sometime for smoke and bananas :-)

I'm not very impressed with Cambridge sushi, but then I am a mad conveyor-belt fan and, whilst I like fish-and-rice concoctions, I get bored quickly if that's all there is. ETA: though the place at Liverpool St station is very good and slightly handy for Cambridge...
