Beirut burgers and the best chicken wings in London London doesn’t seem to be tiring of burgers. Since my gut-busting 35 burger roundup that finished back in August, still more burger restaurants have opened. Two of the latest, Patty and Bun and Brgr.co, opened within weeks of each other. I therefore thought it’d be interesting … Continue reading
Strawberry nachos, nettle soup, sardine skeletons, parsnip tarts and more. Season, as its simple name suggests, tries to use only ingredients that are in season and can be sourced from within the United Kingdom so the small menu changes monthly. This rather compact restaurant is located on a rather unattractive road near Finsbury Park that’s otherwise … Continue reading
Simple and good value Restauranteurs must rack their brains for weeks on end to come up with the names of their restaurants. Some create vaguely Latin-sounding names, while others simply name their businesses after the address as is the case with 10 Greek Street. This small Soho-based restaurant may lack an original name, but that … Continue reading
Meat on the walls and the plate. The Endurance is one of the odder pubs in Soho. Set inside a rather ugly block of concrete on Berwick Street, the dark walls are decorated with the mounted heads of various stuffed animals. As well having its own food menu, The Endurance regularly hosts other chefs and … Continue reading
Eat, drink and be merry? At the risk of stating the obvious, eating out with a large group is a very different affair from dining by yourself or with a small group of friends. Finding a restaurant with enough covers (in this case for 30 people), that isn’t too expensive, doesn’t have onerous booking requirements … Continue reading
Ramen-ya or Ramen nah? Update 20/10/14 – for the latest tonkotsu ramen coverage check out my group test Ramen restaurants are like buses – you wait ages for one, then three come along all at once. I’ve visited Tonkotsu before, but that little Soho gem has now been joined by Bone Daddies and Shoryu and … Continue reading
Green Lanes vs Hammersmith – a forgone conclusion? There’s more to Turkish food than just kebabs, but by gum are they tasty. One of the best London neighbourhoods to visit for Turkish kebabs is Green Lanes, but trekking out to this north London thoroughfare isn’t always convenient – especially if you live further south. I … Continue reading
Proper Bo or just Bo’ Selecta? Many of the new restaurants that have opened in London over the past year have inexpensive menus, but that’s definitely not the case with Bo London. This new restaurant, from Hong Kong chef Alvin Leung, serves only three different tasting menus at dinner time and is unashamedly expensive with … Continue reading
Less is most definitely more. Good steak in London can cost a lot of money and the area around Piccadilly and Soho is a good example of this rule of thumb. MASH serves up some excellent steak, but at very high prices. Flat Iron is completely different. In contrast to the plush surroundings of MASH … Continue reading
Yet another Islington gastropub or something more? Islington has no shortage of gastropubs, but The Pig and Butcher caught my attention for two reasons. One, it has a hint of blood thirstiness in its name that is both mildly amusing and quite fitting since there’s apparently an on-site butcher’s room. Two, it comes with The … Continue reading
