Cafe Pacifico Covent Garden Review
Back to the 80’s at Cafe Pacifico: Back in the 1980s, London was an exciting place to be if you were young and interested in music, politics or fashion, though the cultural energy wasn’t reflected in the choice and range of restaurants.

Comensal, Abbeville Road, Review
How a Mexican restaurant made me regret moving: The first flat I owned was in Abbeville Road.
