Sticky Mango #BourdainDay Tribute Menu Review
Asian Food cooked with Passion and Served with Purpose. Sticky Mango restaurant, despite being almost on my doorstep near Waterloo station, is not somewhere I’ve visited before. I’ve heard of it, but for whatever reason, it wasn’t until we were invited to try the special tribute menu that had been created to coincide with the […]
Capricci Deli and Restaurant – Review
Capricci on Bankside – Perfect Pre-Theatre Dining: Less than a minute’s walk from Tate Modern on London’s Bankside, Capricci is both a deli and a restaurant.

Of course, there are plenty of bars and restaurants along the river but finding somewhere special can be tricky. There are plenty of pizza restaurants and all […]
Getting Pickled with Chino Latino
Chino Latino’s Healthy Asian Dining: Having moved fairly recently to this part of London, I’m always thrilled when I am invited to a local restaurant for the first time. Albert Embankment in Lambeth is a 20-minute walk from home for me, home to MI6 and, as its name suggests, directly overlooking The Thames. I was […]
The Duke of Sussex at Waterloo
A Hippo in Waterloo – The Duke of Sussex: I was hoping that I’d find some link between the Duke of Sussex and the Battle of Waterloo or even the station. In fact, the only connection I can find between the Duke and Waterloo was that he was one of the subscribers to an epic […]
Vapiano: Italian soul
Southwark Soul at Vapiano Bankside: Vapiano is a different concept in a dinning.
