London Street Brasserie – Reading
Casual Fine Dining in Central Reading at London Street Brasserie: Reading is particularly well served with restaurants. But, many of them are (rather good) outlets that are part of a chain.

Oxo Tower Brasserie Review- Southbank London

Le Café du Marché – Charterhouse Square
Evolution not a Revolution at Le Café du Marché: In the days when I did a normal office job, Le Café du Marché just happened to be the closest good restaurant to one of my favourite suppliers.

Shopping for Food and more at Harvey Nichols: One of the biggest challenges about booking supper at the 5th Floor Cafe of Harvey Nichols is that location tucked away toward the back of the food hall. Given half a chance and a much healthier bank balance, I’d be shopping there regularly – feasting on the […]
