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. Finding something that isn’t can be a bit of a challenge, although there’s a growing number of independents these days. One of the earliest […]
Oxo Tower Brasserie Review- Southbank London
Winter Menu – Oxo Tower Brasserie Review. New to London or just visiting? You may not have even ventured South of the River. I urge you to try for yourself and cross the water to walk along the banks of the Thames, from Westminster or Waterloo to Blackfriars or Tower Bridge. The Southbank is a […]
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. It’s an old haunt as a result, but one which, tucked away on the corner of Charterhouse Square, I haven’t been back […]
Patron Restaurant, Kentish Town – Review

The Ivy Kensington Brasserie
The perfect place for a Pre-Proms dinner We’ve all heard the saying ‘’If music be the food of love, play on’’, and as an evening at the Proms has become one of our annual summer ‘’must-dos’’ over the years, we booked Prom 42 which promised a three-course musical feast of Arvo Part, Grieg and Sibelius.

Given half a chance and a much healthier bank balance, I’d be shopping there regularly – feasting on the […]

Les 110 de Taillevent – 110 wines and a distinctly Parisian flavour: It will come as no surprise to regular readers of London-Unattached that I was keen to visit Les 110 de Taillevent in Cavendish Square. The London outpost of the iconic two Michelin-starred Le Taillevent sits along one side of Cavendish Square, just behind […]
The Cavendish – Review
Dining at the Cavendish, Marylebone: I have reviewed The Cavendish several times before most notably in its last iteration when El Bulli trained chef Alfonso Lillo Fas offered classic French, Italian and Spanish dishes with formal service, linen and a tableside Crepes Suzette that was pure theatre. With an interior that is a fusion between a […]

Brasserie Zedel Review
Brasserie Zedel A little bit of Paris in the heart of Piccadilly: Where do food bloggers go for lunch? Well, you know, we’ve been known to turn up in the most unexpected places. But as it happens, Brasserie Zedel was recommended to me by another blogger and good friend of mine, The Hedonist – so […]
