Pan Asian and Sushi Restaurant in Marylebone. Indulging in Pan Asian cuisine at lunchtime almost feels excusable. It is, after all, healthy… OKA is a small, independently owned group of restaurants scattered across London and the newest venue, in chi-chi Marylebone, was our destination for lunch the other day. Squeakily clean inside, with sanitiser on […]
Bernardi’s London in Marylebone – Review
An Australian Italian in London – Bernardi’s. I’ve been to Bernardi’s before – but for an event organised by the Italian Tourist Board. That’s quite a claim to authenticity for a restaurant created by two Italian brothers from Melbourne, Gabriel and Marcello Bernardi. On the edge of Marylebone Village, one of those areas of Central […]
The Montagu Kitchen review
The Montagu Kitchen at Hyatt Regency London, The Churchill: The challenge of the hotel restaurant.

The Churchill, […]
Iberica Marylebone – Review
Iberica Marylebone – A Spanish Sojourn for London Ladies who Lunch: Marylebone is perhaps one of the most unlikely parts of London to be dubbed a ‘village’.

The Seymour Place Restaurant Hop
Hop ’til you drop in Seymour Place. I was very concerned when invited to the Seymour Place Hop. Would it be an all-night danceathon with posh locals cheering on us weary participants as we frugged and gavotted our way up and down this chic W1 enclave? Or even worse a blindfold one-legged slalom run to the […]
