How To Bust Your Gut in One Easy Sitting Despite some of the massive meals I’ve eaten in the course of writing this blog, there have been very, very few where I’ve ordered too much. The Breakfast for Two at the Guildhall branch of Hawksmoor is one of these gut busting meals and was so … Continue reading

Obika review – mozzarella in your face!
More mozzarella than you can shake a buffalo at As all of us know Canary Wharf is an overly corporatised glass and steel hell-hole with no where to eat besides godforsaken chain restaurants. There might be an exception to this rule though in the form of Obika, a restaurant that specialises in mozzarella. Inescapably however, … Continue reading
The top ten most popular London restaurants of 2011
Actually this is a list of the ten most read restaurant reviews here at The Picky Glutton, but that’s a considerably less catchy title. Naturally, this list is biased towards reviews from earlier on in the year since they have more time to gain popularity. The one startling exception is my review of Meatliqour which … Continue reading
Trattoria Mondello review – retro Italian
Travel back in time to the 1970s Business lunches can be pot luck in terms of quality since the decision of where to dine is often out of your hands. This was how I ended up at Trattoria Mondello on Goodge Street. I didn’t know quite what to expect, so I was surprised by the … Continue reading
About Thyme review – pub food in restaurant’s clothing
Will I come back here thyme and thyme again? Much to Wicket’s horror I’m not a huge fan of Christmas. It’s not that I have anything against it, I just never got into the swing of celebrating a traditional Christmas with all the trimmings. Even so, I ended up having a Christmas dinner of sorts … Continue reading
Meatliqour review – why it’s heavily overrated
The burger restaurant that sticks out like a sore thumb As this blog approaches its first birthday, it’s only fitting that I give my opinion on Meatliqour, the successor to pop-up Meateasy which was the first restaurant ever reviewed here at The Picky Glutton. I was impressed by the labour-of-love burgers at Meateasy, but I’ve … Continue reading
Mishkin’s review – definitely not kosher
Eat well, for we rise at dawn-ish Despite the longstanding Jewish presence in London, there are remarkably few Jewish restaurants of note outside of north London. This makes Mishkin’s, located in Covent Garden next door to The Opera Tavern, all the more remarkable. The food at Mishkin’s isn’t kosher though, the presence of pork on … Continue reading
Hawksmoor vs Burger and Lobster review – lobster roll head-to-head
Cheap lobster. In Mayfair?! I’ve spilled a lot of ink on this blog about lobster and one of the most enjoyable, but cheapest lobster meals I’ve had was the humble lobster roll at Luke’s Lobster in New York. As far as I know the only restaurants in London to serve the lobster roll are (comment … Continue reading
Many happy returns this festive season!
No matter which winter festival you’re celebrating this year (Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus or, yes, even Winterval), The Picky Glutton hopes you’re having a good one. Continue reading
Pizarro review – supersize my tapas
José gains a big brother Small London Bridge tapas joint José is one of my favourite restaurants to have opened in 2011. It’s therefore an understatement to say that I was excited about the opening of its sister restaurant, Pizarro, just down the road. While José serves up tapas, Pizarro serves up a menu of … Continue reading
