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 [...]
Hawksmoor - eaten and reviewed
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 [...]
Painted Heron - eaten and reviewed
Everyone loves a good curry (at least that is what I would like to think as I certainly do and I believe that I have rather good taste) so I popped down to Chelsea to see if their restaurants would be as good as their location and the decadence of many of the houses down [...]
Chakalaka – eaten and reviewed
With the days getting darker, colder, wetter and all together more depressing and my time in South Africa feeling all the more a distant memory I thought now was probably the best time to start of my restaurant quest and get the memories of my awesome holiday flowing back to me like the salt river [...]
A good restaurant - Benares
After having indulged my work colleagues to an awesome cake a few days earlier I thought it was high time that I actually treated myself to something - it was my birthday of cause!
I decided to book a table at a restaurant I have had my eye on since seeing the head chef on “The [...]
