Taiwanese blogger jailed for bad restaurant review
I’ll heading out to Taiwan later this year, so it was interesting to stumble across this news article about a Taiwanese restaurant blogger who has received a suspended prison sentence over a negative restaurant review. Although the sentence and fine of 200,000 Taiwanese dollars (just under £4,300) seems incredibly excessive, the blogger didn’t do herself … Continue reading

Carom review – Indian food gets noisy. Very noisy.
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound. Meza is a long-standing bar in London’s Soho and it’s the last place I’d expect to find an Indian restaurant. Nestled in a corner of the bar itself, eating at Carom late in the week is a cacophonous experience – the loud, buzzy music, including a live sitar … Continue reading
Gelonch review – Barcelona’s best kept secret
This review of a Barcelona restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Barcelona has more than its fair share of fine dining restaurants, but even in such a large city it’s possible to stumble upon some gems and Gelonch may well be one of them. It’s a small restaurant located on … Continue reading
Tapas 24 review – quality tapas goes underground
This review of a Barcelona restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Unsurprisingly, there’s no shortage of tapas restaurants in Barcelona but one or two caught my eye. Tapas 24 is reputed to be one of the best tapas restaurants in the city, but the prices at this small underground bar … Continue reading
Saüc review – hit and miss hotel dining in Barcelona
This review of a Barcelona restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. There’s no shortage of fine dining restaurants in Barcelona and quite a few of the newer ones are opening or have opened inside plush hotels but Saüc is slightly different. Although now located inside the Ohla Hotel on Via … Continue reading
Cinc Sentits review – Barcelona’s best restaurant?
This review of a Barcelona restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Cinc Sentits is reputed to be one of Barcelona’s best fine dining establishments, which is a vaunted reputation any restaurant will have a hard time living up to. First impressions are a good place to start and here Cinc … Continue reading
Hawksmoor Day part 3 – dinner at Spitalfields
This review is part of Hawksmoorathon – three meals at three different Hawksmoors in one day After a breakfast of devilled veal kidneys and a black pudding burger for lunch, it should come as no surprise that I was feeling rather chunky. Somehow, I still managed to rustle up a small appetite for dinner at the original … Continue reading

Hawksmoor Day part 2 – lunch at Seven Dials, Covent Garden
This review is part of Hawksmoorathon – three meals at three different Hawksmoors in one day The Seven Dials Covent Garden branch of Hawksmoor is perhaps my favourite of the three thanks to its elegant, iron colonnaded interior. It’s the one I visit most frequently since it’s actually located somewhere readily accessible, unlike the Spitalfields … Continue reading
Hawksmoor Day part 1 – breakfast at Guildhall
This review is part of Hawksmoorathon – three meals at three different Hawksmoors in one day Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day, but in this case it turned out to be one of the booziest breakfasts I’ve been to in a while. I’ve been to the Guildhall Hawksmoor before … Continue reading
Moments review – the best meal of my life. And it wasn’t in London.

If you’re the sort of reader who only reads the introduction and conclusion to a review and perhaps skims the photos, then let me save you the trouble right now. If you haven’t already guessed from the headline above, … Continue reading
