This review of a New York eatery is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. The vast majority of the eateries reviewed on this blog are proper restaurants with full-service tables. Num Pang is a rare exception to this informal rule since it’s the only place I’ve ever heard of, either in New … Continue reading

Baohaus review – buns with puns
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. For most people, Chinese food means noodles, fried rice, roast duck and maybe Dim Sum. There’s much more to it than just that of course, and one of the under appreciated gems is the humble bao – steamed … Continue reading
Hill Country review 2 – New York BBQ still as good as ever?
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Barbecue specialist Hill Country was one of the culinary highlights of my previous visit to New York, setting the standard by which I judge all other barbecue restaurants. I was therefore excited by the opportunity to visit the … Continue reading
M. Wells review – a diner like no other
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Behind all the nice photographs and cheesy jokes, this blog has just two primary objectives. The first is to show you what a glorious time I’m having eating my round around London and the wider world! The second … Continue reading
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal review – overrated?
Is it really as good as everyone says it is? Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal needs no introduction for anyone who has even a casual interest in restaurants – the man is everywhere from numerous TV programs to even the front page of the Daily Mail. I’ve been chomping at the bit to try out his … Continue reading
Hawksmoor Covent Garden Seven Dials review – burgers in a steakhouse
Beautiful, bountiful burger bonanza I’ll tell anyone who will listen about the superb steaks and burgers at Hawksmoor, but just to reinforce the point I decided to pay another visit to the Covent Garden Seven Dials branch one weekday lunchtime. The Euro Hedgie and I managed to snag a table next to the dramatically lit … Continue reading
Franco Manca Chiswick review – pizza redemption in West London
Cheap pizza done right. Pizza isn’t usually something I eat at restaurants. Apart from the fact that I eat enough of the stuff at house parties and late nights at the office, the stuff is rarely done well. If there’s one place I will sit down for a pizza however, it’s Franco Manca. The original … Continue reading
Gauthier Soho review – calorie counting French-style
Small portions expertly prepared. Eating out can be a waist-expanding exercise as I’ve found to my detriment since starting this blog – if you’re on a diet then eating at restaurants is not a good way to stick to it. Gauthier Soho has taken a rather honest approach to this dilemma. Rather than concocting ‘healthy’ … Continue reading
Senkai review – Cocoon reborn
A butterfly reemerges from the old Cocoon? London’s Regent Street is better known for its shopping than its dining. The few restaurants are divided between fast food joints and the odd cafe on one hand and expensive fine dining places on the other. Senkai is definitely one of the latter. Although this Japanese restaurant appears … Continue reading

San Xia Ren Jia review – mouth numbing spiciness
Cheap and cheerful Chinese chilli chow There are few Chinese restaurants in Fitzrovia with the exception of a dilapidated-looking buffet on Goodge Street. This is due of course to the close proximity of Chinatown, but one interesting option is San Xia Ren Jia (no, I don’t know how to pronounce that either) on Goodge Street, … Continue reading
