My London – Steak and More at Gillray’s, London Marriot County Hall: As a born and bred Londoner, when the sun shines I make for the South Bank. Lucky me to have a lunch date looking out over the Thames from Gillray’s, London Marriot County Hall. From Westminster Bridge it is a stunning building. And, [...]
Review – The Great British, Mayfair North Audley Street is rather a nice street that runs south from Oxford Street pretty much opposite Selfridges. As you might expect from Mayfair, the road is lined with expensive restaurants. Italian, French, Spanish..and The Great British which looks a little like a pub from the outside but opens [...]
Sights of Shoreditch – Beagle Bar: Ostensibly the purpose of our visit was to check out the newly opened Beagle, right by Hoxton station. Achingly cool this is what those of us who live to the West of London imagine East London should be about. Although we expect grunge, street art and angst – and [...]
One Leicester Street – Not a restaurant review: The soft launch of One Leicester Street coincided with a night out for me and a couple of friends. What could be better than half price food? (apart from a half price wine list). One Leicester Street has taken over the space that was St John’s Chinatown [...]
Never Ending Sundays at New Street Grill: What a wonderful idea. Now if the nice people at the New Street Grill and The Old Bengal Bar could just make Sundays go on for ever, I’m sure we’d all be willing to pay them a LOT of money. Failing that, the idea of a lazy Sunday [...]
Groupon Review – Les Trois Garcons: I haven’t tried buying anything from Groupon for quite a while. It used to be one of the ways I got to eat in restaurants that I wanted to try. But, once I started writing restaurant reviews, that seemed like a bit of a busman’s holiday. I’ve also used [...]
The Good Earth Chinese – Warm Hospitality for a Wet Wandsworth Evening: It was cold and raining when I left West Brompton to travel to Wandsworth Common. One of those rather irritating trips that isn’t far but somehow seems a little awkward. As a result, I arrived at the Good Earth, umbrella in hand feeling [...]
Getting to Grips with Chopsticks and Dim Sum at Royal China Queensway: Of course I’ve tried dim sum before – but, it’s been many years since I went along for a dim sum lunch where the majority of the meal is made up of these little steamed ‘dumplings’. There are a whole variety of different [...]
Review of Gallery Mess: Finding good places to eat close to Galleries and shops is always useful. Gallery Mess is the restaurant attached to the Saatchi Gallery and, so named because of the military connection of the whole area (there are Barracks and Royal Hospital Chelsea just a few minutes away). The restaurant itself is [...]
Champagne Bollinger and Boisdale Belgravia Dinner: It’s not often I get invited to an exclusive members only champagne dinner. And, having been to Boisdale in Canary Wharf and Bishopsgate, I was really looking forward to trying the third Boisdale. There are events at all the Boisdale venues ranging from wine and whisky tastings through to [...]
