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 […]
Devonshire Terrace – Easy Living in the City
City Restaurant and Bar – Devonshire Terrace: When we were invited along to the Drake & Morgan Restaurant and Bar, Devonshire Terrace, I had in mind it would be an easy evening. I’ve been to a few Drake & Morgan venues before (The Anthologist and The Allegory). Both are the kind of venues you want […]
Plate – Restaurant, Bar and Bake – Shoreditch
Plate – Arnaud Steven’s first Restaurant at M by Montcalm, Shoreditch: With a CV that sounds like a Michelin star in the making Owner and Chef Director Arnaud Stevens has previously worked with Pierre Koffmann, Gordon Ramsay, Jason Atherton and Richard Corrigan. I was curious to explore his newly opened Plate restaurant, located on the first […]
The Listing – Bustling in the heart of the City
The Listing by Drake and Morgan: I nearly always get lost when I visit the City of London; especially when leaving the tube at Bank with its multiple exits, I always seem to choose the wrong one. On Thursday I made the right choice, emerged opposite the Bank of England and walked less than 5 […]
The Best Restaurants in London
Probably the Best London Restaurants? Here at London-Unattached, we love eating out. And in 2017 we know we enjoyed superb meals at some of the best London restaurants. As our round-up shows, it’s a cosmopolitan city and one where you can enjoy every cuisine in the world. My own favourite London restaurant is also probably […]
Sushi in the City – The Devonshire Club
Japanese inspired Bottomless Brunch at the Devonshire Club: The London Bottomless Brunch is a wonderful thing when it unfolds as something far closer to a tasting menu than breakfast. And, for me, when it isn’t totally egg-centric, which of course, a Japanese inspired brunch is unlikely to do. The Devonshire Club is a rather swanky […]
Inaugural Le Brunch at Coq D’Argent
Brunch in the City: Brunch comes in a number of forms and, as someone who seldom orders eggs from a menu, there are times when I pass on an invitation because of the egginess. But, Coq d’Argent, the first of the D&D rooftop restaurants in the City are, as usual, doing their brunch in style. Instead […]
Dining at The Don, City of London
Proper Dining in the City – The Don: Once upon a time, I worked in the City. One of my favourite places to eat was called ‘The Bleeding Heart’ – a charming French Bistro tucked away in a secret courtyard near Farringdon. Named after a 17th-century beauty, Lady Elizabeth Hatton, who was found murdered there, […]
The Kitty Hawk – Review
The Kitty Hawk – The ‘Department Store of Dining’ The Kitty Hawk has been called the ‘Department Store of Dining’; two floors designed by Russell Sage (Dishoom, The Grain Store) each offering a completely different experience. The interior channels City of London’s heritage with some New York pizazz thrown in for good measure. There’s a Coffee […]
James Cochran EC3 – Review
From Notting Hill via Soho to the City – James Cochran EC3: I have to admit, I was curious. James Cochran has a stellar heritage, having worked his way up at the two Michelin star Ledbury in Notting Hill and the Harwood Arms, my old local and London’s only pub with a star to its […]
