London Reviews

MILDREDS (Soho, Vegetarian)
Mildreds - Central London

MILDREDS (Soho) - Category: Bistro - Mildreds is my favourite (cheap) vegetarian restaurant in London. I once in the while go there on weekends, after I had maybe a couple of drinks too many and loads of heavy food the day (the week?) before, for some small “detoxing/feeling better about my body” food (it’s by far better than sports ). What I also like about it is,...

Bob bob ricard (Soho, British, Russian)
Bob Bob Ricard - Central London

BOB BOB RICARD (Soho) - Category: Brasserie - Food and Wine Blogger dinners are a great opportunity to meet and socialise with other food bloggers and enjoy good value food in interesting restaurants   (thank you Niamh for organising!). This time it took place at Bob Bob Ricards in Soho. - Bob Bob Ricard is a super stylish and decadent, Russian themed restaurant with – very...

J. Sheekey
J. Sheekey - Central London

J. Sheekey, the fish and seafood specialist hidden just off St Martin's Lane, is the equally successful but never-quite-as-famous sibling of Scott's in Mayfair; Maggie Gyllenhaal to Scott's' Jake. It's also one of my absolutely favourite restaurants of all time, ever. From my first visit about eight years ago with my then boyfriend to last night's brief but wonderful...

Club Gascon, 57 West Smithfield, EC1A 9DS
Club Gascon - City

I’ve been to a few Michelin-starred restaurants in London (see my “Part I” review here - this was supposed to encourage friends to take me out for posh dinners more often so I could write a Part II!) and they all have their own distinct style and character. I’d actually never heard of Club Gascon which on reflection may be part of its own...

London Eater – London food blog and restaurant reviews and restaurant guide » Kikuchi: Framed blades, £8-toro and slimy tuna.
Kikuchi Restaurant - North West

Food history is always an interesting read. Most of the evolution of modern day food has been esoterically documented, parts of it excitingly shrouded in folklore, but always, food is something inextricable linked to the life of the times. In the case of sushi, we know it’s been around since the 8th century, though its very earliest form probably unrecognisable in the 21st...

La Terraza, 27 Bedford Road, SW4 7SH
La Terraza - South

La Terraza is great because: - You can sit on the pavement amongst the plants in the sun, drinking rose and eating calamari and feeling like you’re in Spain - They have lovely friendly Spanish waiters who may (or may not) give you a shot of fire water because he likes the fact you admired his silk shirt - Most of South London’s hispanic population is at the bar, watching...

TSURU SUSHI (Bankside, Japanese)
Tsuru - Central London

TSURU SUSHI (Bankside) - Category: Le Budget - Tsuru Sushi is a little gem and I really wonder how I survived so long without it. My enthusiasm is attributable to several factors: (1) good food (2), so close to London Bridge (this is where I work), (3) possibly the friendliest and most charming service I have had in a long time and (4) it is already cheap but even cheaper when you have...

Hoxton Grill, Shoreditch
The Hoxton Grille - East

I seldom (though by no means never) write about breakfast. When it comes to your wakey wakey eggs 'n' bacey there's really very little that separates the fantastically good from the dreadfully bad and even the most talented of writers - which I naturally do not pretend to be - would have a hard job of making something as quotidian as, say, boiled eggs and soldiers sound exciting (Nigel...

Afghan kitchen, london
Afghan Kitchen - North

Aubergines in yogurt - LONDON — For anyone who would like to have Afghan cuisine, I highly recommend this simple and charming restaurant in Islington, London. - I was excited to visit this restaurant, as I had never tried Afghan food before.  And wow, it’s really delicious!  The menu is quite modest, but the food is packed with flavour.  On this evening, we ordered...

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester - Central London

Where: Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester, MayfairWith whom: The Flying Manc and two others - How much?: DISCLAIMER ***guests of the restaurant, but not for blogging or review purposes, it's one of the perks of my day job*** two courses (no wine) are £55 per head, three for £75. There are times when you realise quite how lucky you are. Being able to regularly...
