Is my favourite breakfast place in London still up to scratch? It’s been a while since my first visit to Kopapa, an Australian Antipodean cafe/restaurant that serves up a delicious French toast for breakfast, not because I haven’t wanted to but simply because I’ve been sidetracked by all the other places I’ve been eating at. … Continue reading

Motorino review – brussel sprouts? On a pizza?!
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Of all the cuisines available in New York, pizza must seem like the most unimaginative one to try out. The Big Apple’s pizzas are reputed to especially good though and I happened to pass by Motorino in the … Continue reading
St Anselm review – grills and thrills
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. St Anslem is slightly unusual due to a combination of both its menu and location. Almost every savoury dish at this dimly-lit Brooklyn restaurant is grilled on a large gas-fired appliance, from meat and vegetables to seafood. It’s … Continue reading
Num Pang review – Cambodian sandwiches in the Big Apple
This review of a New York eatery is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. The vast majority of the eateries reviewed on this blog are proper restaurants with full-service tables. Num Pang is a rare exception to this informal rule since it’s the only place I’ve ever heard of, either in New … Continue reading
Baohaus review – buns with puns
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. For most people, Chinese food means noodles, fried rice, roast duck and maybe Dim Sum. There’s much more to it than just that of course, and one of the under appreciated gems is the humble bao – steamed … Continue reading
M. Wells review – a diner like no other
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Behind all the nice photographs and cheesy jokes, this blog has just two primary objectives. The first is to show you what a glorious time I’m having eating my round around London and the wider world! The second … Continue reading
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal review – overrated?
Is it really as good as everyone says it is? Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal needs no introduction for anyone who has even a casual interest in restaurants – the man is everywhere from numerous TV programs to even the front page of the Daily Mail. I’ve been chomping at the bit to try out his … Continue reading
Shibuya review – sushi Vegas-style
This review of a Las Vegas restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Of all the restaurants I visited during my recent trip to Las Vegas, Shibuya is my favourite aesthetically. From the semi-abstract video wall looming over the sushi bar to the lattice work on the walls and the combination … Continue reading
L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Las Vegas review – great food, arse-numbing seats
This review of a Las Vegas restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Although famed French chef Joel Roebuchon has branches of L’Atelier in both London and Paris (among others), my first experience of his cooking wasn’t in either of those close-by locations, but in comparatively far-flung Las Vegas. Strictly speaking … Continue reading
Burger Bar Las Vegas review – sweet and savoury burgers
This review of a Las Vegas restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. America is the ancestral home of the burger, so I had to have at least one during my recent trip to Las Vegas. Ironically though I ended up at the Burger Bar at the Mandalay Bay Hotel which … Continue reading
