Bronek’s Fish Restaurant review – a big fish in a medium-sized pond
Seafood and wacky decor get you in the door, but it’s the people watching that makes you come back.

Young Cheng review – Cheap Lobster Chinatown-style
London Lobstermania Lives On Following my disappointing experience at Belgo’s June Lobsterfest, I was on the hunt for quality lobster at a low price in London. The Euro Hedgie pointed out that Chinatown is full of inexpensive seafood restaurants, so we popped along one weekday evening to the Lisle Street branch of Young Cheng. There … 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
La Posada de la Villa review – coach-class dining
This review of a Madrid restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. You’d never find La Posada de la Villa (or LPDLV as I’ll call it from now on) if you weren’t looking for it since it’s tucked away on a little Madrid side street, but once you do there’s no … Continue reading
La Barraca review – warm paella, cold service
This review of a Madrid restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Eating Valencian food in Madrid may seem a little peverse (the Spanish capital is quite a distance away from Valencia on the dry Castillian plains in the centre of the country), but according to some of my sources La … Continue reading
Cay Tre Hoxton review – better than its Soho sibling?
Goodbye Vietnam? Following my unimpressive and disappointing experience at the new branch of Vietnamese restaurant Cay Tre on Dean Street in Soho, I received a few emails suggesting that I would have a better time at the original restaurant in Hoxton on Old Street. I decided to try it out one weekday lunchtime, but I … Continue reading
South Bank BBQ – PittCue review
Can barbecued meat served from a truck underneath a railway bridge really be any good? I don’t usually review food trucks, but in the case of barbecue purveyor Pitt Cue I’ll make an exception given the dire state of BBQ in London. Food trucks are currently in fashion in the US and they’re exactly what … Continue reading
Where to get a cheap breakfast in Madrid
Breakfasts in Spain’s capital for around €5 or less If you’re from Britain then travelling in the Eurozone can be quite expensive given the current exchange rate – a disadvantageous €1.13 = £1 at the time of writing. Since this makes chocolate gold coins worth more than sterling on the continent, eating three square meals … Continue reading
El Inti de Oro review – a taste of Peru in Madrid
This review of a Madrid restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. One of the pleasures of dining in other countries is that you get to try cuisines underrepresented or entirely absent from London. Inti de Oro is a classic example – a Peruvian restaurant hidden away in a back alley … Continue reading
The Salt Yard review – The best tapas in Fitzrovia?
In my review of Goodge Street tapas restaurant Barrica, I frequently mentioned the neighbouring Salt Yard. Although I visited sister restaurant The Opera Tavern a couple of months ago, I have only just had the chance to revisit The Salt Yard dragging along The Flame Haired Squelchie, Weyoun and January to help me out. The Salt Yard … Continue reading
Fakhreldine review – Lebanon on Green Park
Long lived Lebanese lives up to legend? Update: this restaurant has now closed. Posh-as-corsets Mayfair may seem like an odd place for a Lebanese restaurant, but Fakhreldine isn’t some dodgy cafe with more hookah pipes than customers. It’s a years-old establishment with an attractive, elegant decor even if it does verge on resembling an inoffensively … Continue reading
