Great Seafood in Chinatown A wide choice of fish and shellfish is on offer at Orient London, a contemporary Chinese restaurant specialising in seafood. The standard way to pick a restaurant in China Town is to duck and dive away from the restaurant staff trying to lure you into their own place and start looking […]
Bob Bob Ricard – Review
Pressing for Champagne at Bob Bob Ricard There are times in my life when I just want to have fun. And eat well. And drink champagne. Those moments mark the perfect opportunity to visit Bob Bob Ricard in Soho. Long a staple of the Soho restaurant scene now, Bob Bob Ricard is the go-to place […]
Heliot Steak House at the Hippodrome, Leicester Square – Review
A Vegas Style Experience in London’s Leicester Square – Heliot Steak House. For as long as I can remember, the Hippodrome on the corner of Leicester Square has been a Casino. But, that’s not how it started out, in 1900 when it first opened as a circus and variety show theatre. In those days there […]
Chotto Matte Harajuku Brunch – Review
Exploring a new Soho – Chotto Matte Brunch For those who thought that London was dead, I challenge you to visit Soho on a Friday or Saturday. Like Covent Garden, parts of the district have been pedestrianised and like Covent Garden, there’s a real buzz. That’s being helped along by restaurants like Chotto Matte who […]
Scarlett Green, Soho – Healthy Lunch Aussie Style – Review
Lunch down under at Scarlett Green. It started with great intentions. I’ve heard great things about some of the Daisy Green restaurants (there are now 10 in London) – relaxed and friendly places where you can enjoy Aussie classic dishes. My +1, obviously from Oz, told me she went there when she was looking for […]

Sticks’n’Sushi Soho – Review
Eating sticks, sushi and a few leaves in Soho. I’ve somehow managed to miss out on Sticks’n’Sushi until recently. And, that, my friend declared, has been a big mistake on my part. Having tried out the new opening in Soho, I’m inclined to agree with her. For a start, the interior is welcoming with a […]
Sussex Restaurant, Soho – Review
A Breath of The Country in Soho – Sussex Restaurant. It’s always reassuring when somewhere you loved when you first visited turns out to be a real success. The Gladwin Brothers, Oliver, Richard and Gregory opened The Shed in Notting Hill way back in 2012. The combination of Chef, Restaurateur and Farmer proved magical and […]
Boulevard Theatre Restaurant Soho
Perfect pre-theatre dining at The Boulevard. Soho has long been one of my favourite haunts, back in the 80’s I spent many an evening frequenting the clubs and bars and walking through the notorious Walkers Court which was flanked with sex shops and home to the famous Raymond’s Review Bar and Boulevard Theatre. Now over […]
Yauatcha Soho – Chateau d’Esclans and Dim Sum
Dim Sum and Rosé Wine at Yauatcha Soho: Are you still unconvinced about the merits of rosé? Maybe it’s been a while since you tried one. I think that, like me, you will be pleasantly surprised if you do crack open a bottle. In the last 5 to 6 years production methods have come on, […]
