Be Scene

Sometimes it's not all about the food. It's about the company, the vibe, the music, the ooh la la, the waiters and waitresses even. It helps if the food is good, but these places are just places you want to be.

Vermillion, Manchester

Vermilion & Cinnabar (www.vermilioncinnabar.com)
Just outside of the city center, Vermilion serves Asian fusion food in elegant and opulent surroundings, definitely the place to be seen! After feasting on delicious delicacies, head upstairs to Cinnabar, which features six 'cocoon beds' where you can recline in comfort sipping down classic and signature cocktails. Make sure you order the 'Big Gay Champ' cocktail if you enjoy rum!

Balans, London

Balans (www.balans.co.uk)
Ask anyone in London - gay, straight, undecided – where the funnest restaurant in town is, chances are they'll point you in the direction of Balans. A Soho institution (with outlets in Earl's Court – and Miami!) that's open around the clock, every day of the week, Balans is much more than just a restaurant... after-hours it’s a make-shift club, pulling in the punters as the bars and clubs close around Soho.

Scotland (www.cometoscotland.com/)
Rogano (www.roganoglasgow.com)
Quite simply - stunning. From the faded glamour of its Art Deco interior to the crisp white linen; from the faultless service to the divine seafood and Scottish game; from the smart clientele to the sheer sense of history, Rogano is the stuff culinary memories are made of.

Wales (www.travelwales.org)
Gios (www.gios.co.uk/default.asp?contentID=533)
Formerly 'The Mill', Gios is a gastro-pub with great credentials – great location on the chi-chi Mill Lane, a stylish combination of rustic charm and modern design flourishes, and an enticing a la carte menu (as well as ingenious British tapas). Inevitably, Gios is a place well-heeled locals like to be seen.
