Margaux, Paris – A Classic Brasserie
I am often asked by friends where to eat in Paris, and it is a question I find difficult to answer – ҫa dépend.

Sunday Sessions at The Light Bar, Shoreditch – Restaurant Review
Say goodbye to your Sunday scaries… Sundays are often my favourite day of the week. It’s a day free from the pressures to do anything other than take it easy, prepare for the week ahead and recover from the lingering effects of Saturday’s antics.
