Next stop for my
foodie adventures was on Foleshill Road, Coventry. It wasn’t the longest of
journeys, a 20 minute walk, but I knew any activity I got beforehand would help
for what I had in store.
Like the Zorbas
restaurant I visited last month I had seen Howdeez on many trips through
Coventry, but always seemed to have an excuse for not stopping. This time no
excuses were lined up as I marched straight to the American Diner and ordered a
Howdeez burger bap/roll/sandwich/cob. Of course I chose an option that meant fries
were an automatic selection too.
When I was
making my order I was already having thoughts of dessert with a waffle top of
my hit list, but wanted to make sure I had space, as it was only meant to be a
light bite for lunch.
It’s not quite
striking the right work/life balance, but I got the laptop on and was able to
access the internet via their wireless connection. A big positive for any restaurant/café!
When the burger
arrived I was not disappointed. It was not extravagant in terms of salad &
sauce, but then again this is how I prefer a burger. You want to taste the food,
with sauces sometimes a little overpowering, so this was perfect.
With thoughts
returning to browsing the internet as I finished my last few fries, my thoughts
also returned to wanting a waffle. So much for a light lunch, but hey ho. What
shall I have? I know how well the Maple Sauce goes with a crêpe so had to go
for Maple sauce as my sauce of choice.
This is where my
comment on the food finishes as I was then told that the Maple Sauce had run
out. No problem I will go for the toffee sauce. Finishing on a disappointing note
having paid for a waffle I was then told a couple of minutes later that there
was no mixture to make one. L I want a
waffle. In all fairness the 20 minute walk only happened to be 15 minutes as I
walked back, so I probably didn't really need it.
Has anyone else
been here? I would be really interested on your thoughts. I think I will have
to try one of their malteser milkshakes on another occasion. Have you tried
one?
