A Taste of Paris at Patron Restaurant in Kentish Town I’m a sucker for all those Parisian romantic clichés and if I haven’t had a recent Paris fix the chance to live those out in London is difficult to resist. So I was very happy to be invited to review Patron Restaurant, a bijou Parisian-style brasserie […]
Purezza – Vegan Pizza Heaven
Vegan Dining in Camden at Purezza: That’s a title I didn’t ever expect to write. While I have many vegetarian friends, it’s always seemed to me that the lack of dairy in the vegan diet makes eating out or cooking at home that bit more of a challenge for vegans (once you’ve exhausted every variation […]
Little Havana – Review
Cuban Heat in Camden I travelled to Cuba a couple of years ago on an amazing gastro and cultural tour of Havana and the surrounding area. So I was a bit dubious when asked to review Little Havana, a new bar and restaurant on Camden’s lively Inverness Street. Could a local restaurant really deliver that amazing Havana […]

Mestizo Gastronomic Festival – Review
Mestizo – Mexican Food in Camden – A Culinary Adventure: The last time I went to Mestizo was for the launch of Luchito. Of course the food was all made using Luchito and I was very impressed. But, I was keen to review the restaurant’s own menu and what better opportunity than during their Gastronomic […]
