Delicatessen Restaurant – Modern Middle Eastern Cuisine My diary is often something of a nightmare and I’m seldom free for press dinners. Sometimes I manage to find a volunteer from the London-Unattached team. At other times, I just hope that I’ll be able to review on another occasion. I was lucky with Delicatessen where I’d […]
Sunday Bloody Mary Brunch at Bellanger
DIY Bloody Mary at Bellanger, Islington Sunday brunch has to be one of my best-loved meals – combine it with a good Bloody Mary like the one at Bellanger and I’m sold. Bellanger is the Islington outpost of the Corbin & King Empire, owners of The Wolseley, Brasserie Zédel and others, with a desirable position […]
Namaaste Kitchen – A Hidden Gem in Camden
Namaaste Kitchen Review: I forget sometimes how long I have been running London-Unattached. I first reviewed the Indian restaurant Namaaste Kitchen in 2013 and went back some six months later. It’s in North London though, in between Camden and Primrose Hill and so while I love the food, it’s not somewhere I walk past regularly. A […]
Coriander Restaurant – Hatch End
Coriander – Bengali Indian in Hatch End: It’s rare for me to venture North, out of zone 2. But, an invitation to review Coriander in Hatch End was timely as my good friend The-Hedonist has a London base up that way. And, I like Indian food, especially at this time of year when I seem […]
Yasmeen – Review
Levantine Heaven in St John’s Wood with Yasmeen: Apparently fish and chips is the latest trend in the Parisian gastro scene which got me thinking about transplanted food cultures and influences. Would a Parisian fish supper be acceptable to the average Brit? What did this gastro invasion mean for French culinary culture which is globalising faster […]
Crocker’s Folly – English Eccentricity in St John’s Wood
Crocker’s Folly Guest Feature by Natalie York: From the outside Crocker’s Folly is just an unobtrusive little pub near Lords Cricket ground. It was constructed by a Mr. Crocker whose apparent folly was to believe that Marylebone Station would be built next door, he was unfortunately mistaken and missed out on all that bustling train […]
Mestizo Gastronomic Festival – Review
Mestizo – Mexican Food in Camden – A Culinary Adventure: The last time I went to Mestizo was for the launch of Luchito. Of course the food was all made using Luchito and I was very impressed. But, I was keen to review the restaurant’s own menu and what better opportunity than during their Gastronomic […]
Trullo – An Islington Trattoria
Review of Trullo – an Italian in Islington: It was a grey, wet and miserable weekday and trekking halfway across London for lunch was not really high on my wish list. Especially to a part of the Old Smoke, I don’t know so well. I have an appalling sense of direction and even with the […]
