Finchley’s answer to Ten Ten Tei? Not quite… Ten Ten Tei is my favourite budget Japanese restaurant in London, but that restaurant is located in the West End. Although I’ll willingly travel far and wide for a good meal, not everyone feels the same way. London is a big city after all and not everyone … Continue reading

Motorino review – brussel sprouts? On a pizza?!
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Of all the cuisines available in New York, pizza must seem like the most unimaginative one to try out. The Big Apple’s pizzas are reputed to especially good though and I happened to pass by Motorino in 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.

Archipelago is … 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
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
Yayla review – Kebab redemption on Green Lanes
Kebabs have an undeservedly bad reputation in Britain for being greasy gut liners suitable only for soaking up alcohol during the course of a weekend bender. This view would almost certainly change if only more people visited the Turkish restaurants of Green Lanes in northern London. Green Lanes is a road occupied mostly by businesses … Continue reading
