It’s no Breakfast at Tiffany’s. More like a dog’s breakfast. Despite the several breakfast reviews here at The Picky Glutton, I’m not usually a breakfast person. It may sound blasphemous and potentially unhealthy, but more often than not I just can’t be arsed to deal with the complexities of food first thing in the morning. … Continue reading

Busaba Eathai review – have standards slipped?
Is Alan Yau’s Thai chain still serving quality food as it expands relentlessly across London? The Picky Glutton visits a couple of them to find out… For many Londoners Busaba Eathai needs no introduction. Alan Yau’s series of Thai restaurants are known for their sleek, stylish looks and low prices as much as for their food. What … Continue reading
Archipelago review – zebra and scorpion for lunch
Grizzly gourmet or gastronomic gimmicks? Most business lunches are rather staid affairs full of talk about quarterly results and brand actualisation strategies, but one sure-fire way to spice it up a little is to have it at Archipelago, a smaller, rather unusual restaurant in Fitzrovia just around the corner from the BT Tower. Archipelago is … Continue reading
Harbour City review – Cheap and cheerful Dim Sum?
Fragrant food, tatty divine? There is no shortage of Dim Sum places in and around London’s Chinatown.

Ten Ten Tei review – The best budget Japanese in London?
Japanese restaurants in London, especially those serving sushi and sashimi, tend to be expensive. Unfortunately, the more reasonably priced ones usually aren’t very good either <cough, Yo Sushi, cough>. An exception to this rule is Ten Ten Tei, a small restaurant in Soho on Brewer Street. The place has a ramshackle, threadbare look to it. … Continue reading
Mushu review – Vegetarian Japanese in Fitzrovia?
I’m a big fan of meat, but I can respect the choice of vegetarians to avoid the bloody stuff. Two of my regular dining companions, the Prancing Hippy and the Flame Haired Squelchie, are vegetarians. Technically, the Hippy is a pescetarian as he does eat fish and other seafood – presumably they don’t deserve his … Continue reading
New Culture Revolution review – Chinese food in Islington
Islington isn’t the first place in London you’d think to go to for Chinese food, but it’s home to a branch of New Culture Revolution, a small chain of restaurants focussing on dishes from northern China. Based on an initial recommendation from the Jolly Giant, I’ve been to the Islington branch several times now, but … Continue reading
