Wong Kei, 41-43 Wardour Street, London W1D 6PY

Wong Kei, possibly one of the most amusing names for a restaurant ever. As soon as I mentioned we were going there I was inundated with stories of friends’ visits – looks like Wong… Continue reading

Siam Cafe Soho, 5 Walkers Court, Soho, London, W1F 0BT *Siam Cafe is now closed*

You’ve heard the phase ‘Christmas has come early’. For us it was Easter that came early… We were invited back to Cinnamon Soho to sample Vivek Singh’s Easter egg-inspired menu and inspired it was too. (Read… Continue reading

Brasserie Zédel, 20 Sherwood St, London W1F 7ED

by

Brasserie Zédel appears to be London’s favourite cheap eat of the moment. A touch of luxury at silly prices (as in silly cheap) by restauranteurs Chris Corbin and Jeremy King of The Wolseley… Continue reading

Cinnamon Soho, 5 Kingly Street, London W1B 5PF

by

Cinnamon Soho was not what we expected. I guess after visiting sister restaurant Cinnamon Kitchen near Liverpool Street, we thought the latest offering from the group would be quite glitzy and special. It… Continue reading

Vapiano, Bankside, 2, 90b Southwark Street, London SE1 0FD

by

We first discovered Vapiano on one of our visits to Sweden, when our budget was low and we couldn’t afford to spend a fortune on a meal, which is pretty unavoidable in Stockholm.… Continue reading

The Fat of the Land, 35 New Cavendish Street, London, W1G 9TR *THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CLOSED*

*THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CLOSED* When a visit to a restaurant involves walking past both MEATliquor and Tommi’s Burger Joint, we knew we’d just spend the night hankering after a dirty burger, washed… Continue reading

Comptoir Libanais Soho, 59 Broadwick Street, London, W1F 9QQ

It seems to us that the trend of street food is going nowhere fast. Even Comptoir Libanais is joining in with some typical Middle Eastern street food dishes on their menu. Their Facebook… Continue reading

Dishoom Shoreditch, 7 Boundary Street, London E2 7JE

by

To be honest, when I heard Dishoom were opening a new restaurant in Shoreditch I wasn’t as excited as I hoped to be. Basically Shoreditch is not my kind of place, a bit… Continue reading

Battersea Pie Station, Camden Stables Market, Chalk Farm Road, London, NW1 8AH

by

Hidden in the depths of Camden’s Stables Market is Battersea Pie. A pie and mash stall that we first discovered in our nearby Bluewater. Sadly that site is no longer. Now Camden’s not… Continue reading

Champagne + Fromage 22 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 7DD

Tommi’s Burger Joint, 30 Thayer Street, London, W1U 2QP

by

If the queue outside MEATLiquor seems a little shorter at the moment then that might be due to a new player in town… The Icelandic King of burgers. Literally around the corner, Tommi’s… Continue reading

Tonkotsu Bar And Ramen, 63 Dean Street, London W1D 4QG

by

I don’t think we could have had any more appropriate ailments the night we visited Tonkotsu. I had just broken a tooth so was on soft food only and Ade had the beginning… Continue reading
