Regular readers may have noticed that I always give a bit of extra praise to restaurants that provide that little something extra. This could be fantastic service, the best cooking imaginable or, in probably my favourite cases, food that you just doesn’t see anywhere else.
This is certainly the case at Bar Shu, which I have [...]

St John - eaten and reviewed
You hear all the celeb chef’s nowadays talking about how “we must use seasonal products” in our cooking. I’m cool with this but its not always possible; equally there are also foods that regardless of seasonality you just need to have week in week out. St John is a restaurant with very much the same [...]
The Queen of Sheba - eaten and reviewed
As I have been saying for a while now one of the things that I most enjoy about London is how totally cosmopolitan the place is. Growing up in a town that at the time had maybe one Indian restaurant and one pizza place the variety really is something to be proud of. So when [...]
Benares - eaten and reviewed
Once in a while everyone should give himself or herself a little treat. With it being my birthday (20th July for anyone interested for next year) I though the time was right for one of my little treats by heading off to my favourite restaurant, Benares in Berkeley Square.
Since my last visit (same time [...]

Gastropubs are the cool thing at the moment it seems. If you have a pub and want to make more money then you DEFINATLY need to also serve good food (heaven forbid you actually think about getting in some interesting beers to draw in the punters, its not like they go to a pub to [...]

Steaks! You either love them or you hate them but at times you just need to have one. A nice medium rare steak, cut with a nice big steak knife always makes me think I am a caveman, eating my catch and enjoying it (though thankfully for everyone involved with more clothes and less hair). [...]
Dragon Castle - eaten and reviewed
Local restaurants are a thing that I base my judgement of an area on - the more the better. Of course living in Elephant and Castle means I don’t really have many any of them that I would go to confidently though of course I’m always ready to try most things! I was therefore [...]
Bentley’s - eaten and reviewed
You say that the free London papers are good for nothing then you actually find something useful in them; as I did when I found out about London Restaurant week - £25 for a three course meal sounds like a bargain and a good way to sample what would normally be an expensive restaurant in [...]
Champor-Champor - eaten and reviewed
Trying to avoid the tempation for another Indian stye, curry for three months in a row I decided that I could temper my curry fest by switching continents and heading off to Thailand for the delights of Champor-Champor. First things first I have no idea how I got the idea that this was a Thai [...]
Imli - eaten and reviewed
With a rather expensive Christmas behind me and an equally expensive shopping trip planned (in the good old new years sales) I was thinking about the best way to continue with my journey. It was cold; I was a bit stressed from all the people on the streets so really it had to be another [...]
