Proper, creative, and innovative cooking at Tasca Pop-ups are a tricky thing; to start with, you have to find them. Having first headed towards Tasca’s location on Google Maps, we had to make a hasty retreat back the way we came to make our booking at their residency in Project 44, near Old Street. We […]
Lírica Restaurant, Cumberland Hotel
The Cumberland’s New Tapas Restaurant Impresses All too often, hotel restaurants lack character both from a design and gastronomic perspective. Trying to please an international clientele with different tastes and expectations, and to make sure that all generations and food preferences are catered for, often leads to bland, identikit menus built around classic crowd-pleasers.

Omar’s Place – Review
Passport to Pimlico Occasionally something takes you by surprise. When asked to review Omar’s Place, a Pimlico restaurant, I didn’t have any real sense of what it would be like. I knew that Mallorcan born chef Vicente Fortea had an impressive CV that includes three Michelin-Starred Arzak in San Sebastian and one Michelin-Starred Plat D’Or in Mallorca; […]
Casa Brindisa
Casa Brindisa and the Hollywood Costume Exhibition: Although I live in Earls Court I have an appalling record of actually visiting the wonderful museums of South Kensington – actually only a short walk from home for me. I can walk to the Victoria and Albert, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. But, […]
