Steak and Wine at Gaucho Piccadilly: Any visitor to London looking for good grass-fed steak and excellent Argentinian wines won’t do better than Gaucho. The group of steakhouses have existed for some years now and I’m pretty sure that original Gaucho Piccadilly was the first ‘grown-up’ date restaurant I went to. I can remember cowhide […]
SeasonaliTea – Palm Court at the Langham Hotel

Hankies – Marble Arch
Indian Restaurant Marble Arch, London at Hankies, the Montcalm Hotel I was a bit confused by the invitation to dine at Hankies Marble Arch, the newest site opened by renowned chef and Hankies founder Anirudh Arora.

Fancy Crab – A Fish Fest in Marylebone

The Wigmore – A British Tavern Revival
The Wigmore at the Langham Hotel: When someone creates what is obviously a winning formula we all wonder why it hasn’t been done sooner.
