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

La Bodega Negra review – Mexican food gets sexy
A Mexican restaurant of two halves As my fellow restaurant blogger 31_75 pointed out recently, in his own inimitable style, there are very few good Mexican restaurants in London. The situation isn’t nearly as bad as it was two decades ago when all we had were horrid Tex-Mex dives like Chiquito, but it’s still far from … Continue reading
Kopapa review 2 – breakfast and brunch bonanza
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
La Bola review – one trick pony?

Other than the staggering number of non-Spaniards passing … Continue reading

The Salt Yard … Continue reading
Arbutus review – the best restaurant in Soho?
One of my favourites. Soho has more than its fair share of restaurants, but Arbutus on Frith Street is one that I return to time and time again. Arbutus, sister restaurant to Mayfair’s Wild Honey, serves up inventive Modern European fare both a la carte and as a superb value £20 set menu. The decor of … Continue reading
Barrica review – Tapas invades Goodge Street
Yet another tapas place in Fitzrovia – but is it any good? There’s no shortage of tapas restaurants and bars around Goodge Street in Fitzrovia – some of my favourites include The Salt Yard (sister restaurant of The Opera Tavern) and Fino. For some reason Sue-Ellen inexplicably favours Navarro’s – inexplicable given that restaurant’s consistently … Continue reading
