Eat Thai? Oh alright then…

This evening we decided to visit Eat Thai on St. Christopher’s Place; a Thai restaurant that some have reported as offering the best Thai food in London. If you’ve dined at this might seem controversial, but we were willing to give it a try. First impressions were not promising; it looked small and cramped with [...]


An excellent lunch at Andrew Edmunds

Someone replied to my , Peter Sidebotham of Hand Picked Burgundy, and we went out for lunch. I can fault neither the lunch nor the company. The first thing that needs saying about Andrew Edmunds is that the wine list is fantastic. It may be short, but there is an embarrassment of riches to choose [...]


I’ve risen, and I’m firing on at least two cylinders

So after weeks of chucking chunks I managed to go out and eat food! And I didn’t even blow bits repeatedly throughout the meal. My stomach is still in quite a bad way, but I greatly enjoyed my trip to West London to eat the best Thai food I’ve had in the UK. Addie’s Thai [...]


Pizza again

Last weekend we took some people to . This time we went to the Islington branch. The food was, once again, high quality and I can highly recommend the Messicana pizza; the fresh sausage on it is delicious. I should point out an omission from my review, whilst people can smoke away happily in La [...]


London’s best pizza chain

Last Saturday night we stopped off in Holborn for an early dinner at a branch of La Porchetta; it was quite the best pizza I’ve had in Town since I last went to one of their establishments. The restaurants themselves are quite unpretentious, with tables crammed in to bursting point, staff shouting orders about and [...]


La Gavroche lunch menu

I met up with my step-father today, we both thought La Gavroche seemed like a good place for lunch so that is where we met up. It was a good move. The lunch menu was a good buy at £46.50 for three courses including wine and water. The staff were perfectly happy to assist in [...]


L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon (London)

This is a new opening in London and it has already got a lot of good press so I was looking forward to lunch there. Even though some of what we ate was very good, I found myself ultimately a bit disappointed by the experience. We had a table in the ‘studio’ downstairs, they only [...]


Yi-Ban review

Yi-Ban is located by an old dock near London city airport, hardly a place that will get a lot of passing trade. It is also bereft of decoration, people don’t go there for the surroundings. However, when we went on a Saturday lunch it was completely full and we had to wait for a table. [...]


The best burger I’ve had in London

On Friday night we visited Haché in Camden, it is a gourmet burger establishment. As usual I looked at the wine list first, which was laughably poor, but I was there for burgers rather than wine so I was not too bothered. They have a range of toppings for the burgers, also chicken, lamb and [...]


Bentley’s Oyster Bar is rubbish

Bentley’s Oyster Bar Review I suppose I could be a bit more lenient on Bentley’s as we dined on a Sunday but I’m not going to: it was terrible. It is not a bad dining atmosphere in the oyster bar, but it began to drag a bit as we were sat there with nothing to [...]
