This review of a Shanghai restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage Given the array of regional Chinese cuisines available in Shanghai, eating at T8, a Modern European restaurant, will seem like a bit of a cop out.

Karpo review – quirky new King’s Cross restaurant
Trying too hard, yet paradoxically needs to try harder Karpo bills itself as a diner, but apart from a small hatch through which dishes are passed from the kitchen to the main dining room, this restaurant is completely unlike any diner I’ve ever been to. This is especially true when one takes the plant-festooned wall … Continue reading
Garlic and Shots review – almost anything tastes good if you’re drunk. Almost.
Food with enough garlic to make a coven of vampires gag Although Garlic and Shots is located smack in the middle of Soho, it’s easy to pass by it without realising it’s even there.

Like the superb La Tasquita de Enfrente, Divina La Cocina (referred to as Divina from now on) is located on a little side street not far from the Gran Via thoroughfare. If you weren’t looking for it, then you would … Continue reading
La Tasquita de Enfrente review – quirky and inventive
This review of a Madrid restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. The Euro Hedgie is even pickier than I am when it comes to restaurants, so when he declares that a restaurant is worth my attention then I usually heed his advice. La Tasquita de Enfrente in Madrid is one such … Continue reading
The Triangle review – Kangaroo and crocodile meat in north London
Eclectic dishes served in style London is a huge city which makes getting around seem like an Antarctic trek compared to more compact cities. On the up side, London’s huge expanse means you’re likely to find interesting restaurants in the most unlikely of places. The Triangle is a case in point. This stylish restaurant serving … Continue reading
