- Founded in 1636, Providence embodies a uniquely independent spirit. It's also noted for a restaurant scene so strong, it's leading the city out of recession. How can that be? Giles is here to find out if Providence’s food is really that good.

This guy is hysterical! I love watching him!!
as a native Rhode Islander I would’ve recommended the kitchen. hole in the wall breakfast 5 table 1 chef restaurant. awesome seeing providence restaurants get some love though.
Love Giles. Can't wait for another show....maybe with Sue.
The bad thing about thease critics from other countrys is they kno nothing about rhode island food but its a good show
I hope The Dorrance survives -- what a gorgeous space. I hope they've taken Giles's criticisms to heart and saved the business.
I just love Jiles he’s so honest and I’m hooked on watching him and his opinion 💘💘💘
That restaurant was fit for Tony Soprano & the gang. One of my favourite videos is the food from the Sopranos video on TH-cam & this place would fit in right along with Artie’s.
Um, it probably had it's share of "Sopranos " by another name 😉
Here in RI we got lots of great restaurants so I understand that it's hard to narrow down the choices, but no disrespect to the assistant, I would have done better research. All great restaurants in this video but I felt RI could have been represented better. She just doesn't know enough about us to have the critic represent us. And we aren't that big on the snails/squid here. I mean, calamari, (which is fried squid), IS our state dish but that is the extent of it and he didn't even get that. And he might have preferred the fried Calamari since he didn't seem to enjoy regular squid. We are more about stuffies, NY Olneyville system wieners, Del's frozen lemonade, clam chowder. And I wanted to see him try our state drink, coffee milk. He might've liked that!
Is it restaurants in Providence you’re speaking of? Like, do you live inside Providence? Because he wasn’t reviewing your state. He was only reviewing those specific areas in Providence where I saw a lot of sea snail dishes and various shellfish options, I would’ve assumed it was a big seafood town anyway being a tourist. Also, it isn’t him reviewing the best restaurants either. It isn’t about him reviewing the best representation of Providence food even. It’s a show about showing the best of a few restaurants who desperately wanted his help, and they all have to be different from each other and struggling in some aspect. I’m assuming out of the research she did all of the restaurants you’re mentioning didn’t reach out for the help, didn’t need the publicity. Didn’t want the publicity. Already had the exposure and clientele base they wanted etc. Maybe didn’t even know who Giles Coren was. I don’t mean to be rude about that either. I’ve just seen a lot of comments on the other episodes like: “I live here and they’re crazy to focus on these places when we have so much better to offer.” Yeah, that’s the point of the show haha. It’s restaurants that are struggling and need exposure from Giles. It would be like Gordon Ramsay coming over to do Kitchen Nightmares & people saying for example, why have they shown a bunch of amateur chefs in this when we have so many hugely successful, better representations of culinary artists and restaurants in our country? Because that’s the whole premise - for them to be amateurs.
Also - I love the twin river casino and I miss it so much. All that smoke, old ladies with oxygen tanks, random women with hula hoops. For a Scottish tourist you guys can really party. And I totally agree that your seafood is amazing. I live on an island and your fish is the softest, flakiest, tastiest fish I’ve ever had in my entire life, the biggest shellfish I’ve ever seen in my life. Absolutely perfect.
@@SophieJackson1993 I am a native Rhode Islander, born, raised and still always around in Providence. Been here many, many years. If there is anything you'd ever want to know about RI you've only to ask me or my immediate family. We've been here for all our lives..and its a small state (like we are only 50 minutes from one end to the other) so you're pretty much always in the shadow of providence. I get your point about them reviewing the struggling places but mostly these places shown here are not struggling. Los Andes does killer business on chalkstone ave. Old canteen is an old established restaurant on federal hill..etc. Most of these places are high end, doing well (of course with the present covid thing maybe they aren't I think they are on takeout or whatever etc but who knows), but they were already doing well and successful. The thing is, when you're a local you just judge more because you actually are FROM the place and you know better. I'm not saying they did a bad job overall its just very obvious they aren't from here at all and don't really know the scene much. We just aren't known much for peruvian and I don't know how popular snails? Are. We are known more for Del's frozen lemonade, stuffies, clamcakes chowder hot olneyville wieners etc. That's just more who we are if you're going full RI. But yeah oh no disrespect to them at all They did their best I enjoyed it. And yes glad you had fun here. We do have great seafood and twin river casino in lincoln is fun if you don't mind the smoke. Next time you're here go to Newport, or head 45 minutes north to Boston, Massachusetts or go 3 hours south to new York city :)
@@fembotprincess1 I have a spoon I stole from Old Canteen 45 years ago when I was in high school. (Don't tell the owners) 😉
@@SuperDrLisa niiiice lol 😁
I completely agree, and I think while this video showed popular restaurants, it defiantly showed no where near the amount, at least what I feel is, actual Rhody Cuisine. Obviously I am aware he is only showing Providence RI, but even what was chosen wasn't a great choice. I've always felt that Nicks is a much more modern, and doesn't have nearly any "traditional" Rhode Island foods. I love Nicks, and maybe I haven't studied the menu well enough. Personally I've never once heard of north, and I felt like they hyped it up to be some major thing, but I guess 17 years of living here what do I know. I agree that Old Canteen should 100% be on the list however. It does represent the enormous amounts of Italian restaurants we have here, and how deeply rooted in tradition they are. Los Andes I think I agree with being on the list. Again, I don't think he found the "Rhode Island cuisine" and more federal hill cuisine, and I feel like often the two can be very detached.
2:46 Narratrix said "restaurant - eurs" rather than "restaurateurs". Minus 10 points.
I don't know who is more vicious , Giles or the comment section.
Go to Los Andes everytime I visit Providence and it’s amazing
Very under rated channel. Very nice.
I live in Providence only been to old canteen out of all of them but heard of all the others
This was a hard one i wanted them all to win
Federal Hill. Home of the haunter in the dark.
Are you related to Victoria Coren?
Yes. She is his sister.
4:40 Was spot on🤣😜
I've lived in Rhode Island my entire life and I've never once heard it called THE regional dish around here. It's almost like saying that Rhode Island clam chowder is something that everyone likes around here (We don't.) I'd be more inclined to say stuffies or little necks are more our regional dishes that would insult us if outsiders didn't like them
That's what I'm saying. What's this squid thing? Calamari is our dish and that's fried squid. We aren't about this rubbery stuff. And I agree it's more about stuffies, clam chowder, etc
I LIKE TO TOUR DARSHADOWS FISSHIING VILLAGE DONT KNOW MUCH AM FROM NEWYORK
Guys I think it needs to be said this person has clearly never even been to Rhode Island once. We pronounce it "Chowda".
@@thatonegriefer3254 Ya bicuz ahm gahna type exactly how i speak ovah the innanet
@@RobinBonhomme thas betta
He is a food critic so i do understand that he is hard but i dont like that he Point out other customers and talk bad behind their back. That was very unprofessional. Disgusting behaviour.
He sounds jealous
He should knows how to use the chopsticks first....
He’s just being a dick
too bad about the Mario Batali mention, guess they didn't know about the sexual predator thing at this point
I frickin love this guy! Great show. It's interesting how we actually eats the food he's reviewing, whereas Gordon Ramsay just tastes it then spits it out and start shouting. To Gordon Ramsay's credit, however, he's a great cook.
Will C. Gordon Ramsay actually helps people idiot he’s done many good things for restaurants and he doesn’t start shouting it’s the restaurant owners then that’s when Gordon starts shouting so don’t judge Gordon he’s actually a very nice guy
Okay I'm from Providence, and I have never ever heard of snail salad.
not possible.
bro come to san Antonio... i wont take you anywhere fancy.. but we know some yummy places to eat!!
Million dollar review with 1k subs 😂🤔
you cant possibly be THAT dumb, right?
... right?
Open-mouth chewers - I can't... I just can't!!!
Agree
Nicks 👍🏼
No one in America knows who the fuck Giles is. His reviews don't mean shit here. Sorry, it's the truth.
I really thought the canteen will win...... really sad,
why must they both must be in the same content.............
A little late in viewing and was disappointed. Giles was not given a fair group of restaurants to review. There are so many other wonderful places to eat in Providence. Sad that the Old Canteen didn't win - perfection on food and service and old time ambiance. The Dorrance building was beautiful. And best thing is that a Rhode Islander was kind enough to share food with a stranger. Otherwise, Nick's on Broadway chef was disappointing. He couldn't follow a simple request for a simple omelet. I don't want any one pushing food I didn't ask for ...
FOOD CRITIQUE BOSS
He just bashed three businesses. I hope the those restaurants survive
Java Murniadi actually they are flourishing!!!
Andes let a food critic wait for 20 minutes ....wow
I love the Hipster restaurant LOL but I would never eat off of somebody else's dish. Nice way to get gastrointestinal virus from somebody
It's actually a good way to develop a strong immune system. We're humans, not delicate flowers.
Will C. Exactly
oh hush.. im a country girl we eat crap of the floor... that woman probably cleaner than the comment you added here.. just go about your way ... smmmmhhh always someone like you around!!!
This guy epitomizes all that is obnoxious about snobbish food "critics."
Ya rude
He's actually quite fair, he really gives them a chance...but after that kind of omelette i would have ran out the door, and putting all that shit on it after, pretentious, stop being pretentious.
Jim O'Ryan. He doesn’t help the restaurants how is that giving them a chance and the food looks very delicious he just wants to be dick to be a dick
Man, he didn’t go to good restaurants. Los Andes is so blah.
What’s the best restaurant in Providence?
your show is not good at all, so annoying! who is this assistant?? she looks very boring if you ask me? she doesn't even know where to send you!
I agree with you about the assistant she really knows nothing about RI. She tried though.
Um.... Yea, the first restaurant was trash.
