RAW Fish and Cocktails – a Phoenix from the Ashes
A Review of Sorts – RAW Fish and Cocktails. Just before London went into tier 4 I went along to a restaurant opening on Brick Lane. Not as you might think an Indian or Bangla restaurant, this place specialised in fish and rather special cocktails. We loved the ambience and truly enjoyed an evening of […]
Salaam Namaste – Review
Hot stuff in Holborn The Georgian back streets of Holborn are home to many hidden gems. Round the corner from the normally vibrant Lambs Conduit Street and the Dickens Museum on Doughty Street is an Indian restaurant that is well worth a detour. Salaam Namaste was our destination, tucked away in a typical Bloomsbury terrace. […]

1947 London – North Indian Restaurant in Fitzrovia – Review
Elegant surroundings and exceptional food at 1947 London. In London’s constantly evolving restaurant world, new openings can easily go unnoticed. Not so 1947 London, a North Indian restaurant in the heart of Fitzrovia. Although the restaurant has a Charlotte Street address, the entrance is tucked away around the corner opposite the Rathbone Hotel and you […]

Spanish Tradition and Innovation in Fitzrovia Quique Dacosta is a 3 Michelin gastronomic star in his native Spain. Lucky for us in this wet August with his new London restaurant Arros QD he has promised to bring ‘the warmth and theatricality of Valencian gastronomy’ to London. Sitting just behind Oxford St in Fitzrovia’s Eastcastle St, the restaurant […]
