It was one of my favourite pizza haunts (depsite the fact I haven't visited in about 8 months or so), and it's a shame to hear it has gone downhill. Sad news indeed.

I've now been there twice in the last six months and it's gone downhill. The staff have always been too cool to treat you like you pay their wages but that's sort of ok. Last night our waitress (who was nice enough) couldn't get a single order right. She didn't know the menu and had to be walked through it. We ordered two glasses of wine and got one. She had no system for remembering who ordered what and needed help each step of the way. Then I found the 2 cm long piece of hard sharp plastic in my food! At least it's not a toe nail I thought and at least the kids didn't swallow it and choke. But the piece de resistance - when I showed it to one of the staff they looked at me with the 'trouble maker stare' and said "Oh it's just a peice of plastic, nothing to worry about" As I waited for my replacement dessert we got the hurry up as there was another booking, well OK but if we'd been served in a timely way we'd have left sooner. Really disappointing, bad service, adulterated food and too many silly toppings. Not going back Well maybe after the initial rush Meine Leibe has lost its mojo.

I was just so glad to find a review of <a HREF="http://filluponbread.blogspot.com/2007/02/yeah-maan.html" REL="nofollow"> Yeah Maan</a>, a place I have wanted to try for ages.<br/><br/>And thanks for the lovely compliment. I am far from a professional. I have a trusty 3 megapixel point and shoot camera (Sony DSC-P8), which I whip out at practically every meal. Most of my friends are used to it by now. Some sigh with resignation (hehe), and others actually remind me to take photos when I get too distracted by the food! But I must admit that I have developed the skill (out of necessity foremost) to snap the food quickly before it gets cold :-)<br/><br/>But a few tips - I hardly ever use a flash as it tends to make the food look flat. Where possible (even if it is low light), brace your arms against your side or rest them on the table so you don't get camera shake.<br/><br/>Dont' be scared of tilting the camera on an angle to get an interesting shot.<br/><br/>It's all about the food - so shoot it. Get in nice and close (sometimes this can only be achieved by a proper SLR with manual focus - but it's just knowing the capabilities of your camera).<br/><br/>I do have an SLR, but I hardly ever use it. It is too big and too conspicuous to take to a restaurant. People really get worried when you whip out big guns like that. Hi mairead - no worries re: comment on your site.

Dont’ be scared of tilting the camera on an angle to get an interesting shot.

It’s all about the food - so shoot it. Get in nice and close (sometimes this can only be achieved by a proper SLR with manual focus - but it’s just knowing the capabilities of your camera).

Am already planning a return visit to yeah Maan myself!<br/><br/>I check out your site a lot and love your photos. They are incredibly professional. Do you do it for a living or are you just incredibly skilled at this stage? I always feel I have to rush my photos when I am with others, as they already think I am mad. How do you do it???

Do you have any idea of it's heritage? (maker/year etc)? Hi kitchen hand - you really can’t beat good crockery like that. Do you have any idea of it’s heritage? (maker/year etc)?

It's an early cappuccino style, wide and flattish. The pattern is one of my favourites.) Great place.

There are quite a few amazing vegetarian options available - a traditional margherita (tomato, mozza, basil), a mushroom (tomato, mozza, sauteed 'rooms, garlic, parsley), an eggplant (tomato, fior di latte, eggplant, pesto, sundried tomatoes), and the best, the italian flag (tomato, mozza, parmesan, green olives, sundried tomatoes, chilli). Look forward to your blog about it :-) Hey there Cindy - uh huh, you must definitely pay them a visit.
