EVERYTHING LOOKS MORE APPEALING in the sun. Whether al fresco dining, or simply seeking snack satisfaction in sweltering in London; we’re spoilt for curb side choices. Every borough brings out even the stingiest of punters. To restaurants; beer gardens, bars. Like bees to honey we flee our un air-conditioned homes, to cooler pastures, unsure what…

La Trompette is Le Vacherin’s only independent competitor in Chiswick. are their sole competitors. Is the answer to this question of interest to anybody at all?

Date of visit Feb 18th 2026 CHINESE BBQ IN LONDON is growing in popularity. Meats on skewers; charcoal BBQ delights, with beer from any frosted glass container, is that thing we need to connect. Pierce almost any food stuffs, with something sharp enough to go through it, that’s safe enough to eat off. Use that…

MY LOVE OF DIM SUM transports me to where it started. Not just my love of dim sum. Chinese food devoid of beef with broccoli. Specifically, Chinese Cantonese food in London. Cantonese classics designed for whatever time of day you fancy: yum cha. Giles Coren once said “I love Chinese food above all things”. You…

My Chinese culinary journey to dim sum stemmed from childhood in Chinatown. Dim sum in London was “served until 3pm” on Gerrard street. This meant, inconveniently jumping off the tube at Leicester Square for a pork or prawn filled dumpling. Dim sum 點心 all day in London and Greater Britain is prolific now. Har Gow…

CÔTE BRASSERIE WAS SOLD to the Karali Group in late 2025. Experiencing what’s become of this 2007, Wimbledon born chain toady, asks more questions that it gives answers. Dropping the “Brasserie”, this French-style; British restaurant chain, is now simply known as Côte. Founded by Richard Caring et al, certainly entertains change these days. That being…

Crêpe vs. Pancake THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRÊPES AND PANCAKES comes down to the recipe. Texture is finite when flour marries moisture. Ingredients in a structured recipe for crêpes or pancake batches, are yieldingly familiar in their similarities. Typically, a crêpe is just a thin pancake, is it not? As is a European culinary delight. Shunning…

THE EAT TOKYO NOTTING HILL BRANCH MENU is an encyclopaedia. It’s also incredibly tedious to find snip-its online. No, it’s not an omakase restaurant. Natch, a member’s club in Notting Hill, you say? No, not that either. Eat Tokyo isn’t hidden down a cobbled street. Tucked away; it is not. Quite the opposite of Omakase…

BEING REFUSED ENTRY INTO A BOUILLON RESTAURANT researched, only quickens my pace. On foot I’m hopping on to the next. A frog couldn’t catch me. Crucially, prefacing this with what happens next: a traveller for good food finds it, right before they give up the search. Opening hours are all over the shop in Caen—specifically…

OUISTREHAM Ft. Funny Fish Date of visit – 22nd October 2025 SHELLFISH ARE RIFE IN NORMANDY. Travelling to Normandy is a must, unless plagued by shellfish allergies. Sweet, saline seafood, encased by shell. Prawns of all sizes, crabs bursting with meat and fat and of course, oysters. There’s more that trawl these shorelines. Caught, farmed,…

LOVE OF SPECIFIC FOOD TEXTURES is as subjective as taste. In Cantonese cuisine, for example, there is a desired contrast in textures of bouncy, in tandem with a crispy mouthfeel. Something slippery or slimy like an oyster or rice cake can dim the light of a palate unaccustomed to it. The best wok hei flavour.…

GEORGE ORWELL SAID: “A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing…” Why then, visit Vilnius, Lithuania? Regional Culinary Delights in the Historic Lithuania Earlier, I acquainted myself with Lithuanians of London, by way of booking an off-peak Ryan Air flight experience. Ryan Air had just set in place a new reason to…

UNDER THE BRODGE; down the steps, en-route Borough Market, a perpendicular swivel to your right, finds you enface an alleyway. Phew. Not nearly what it once was: finding a top rated London French menu. Here finds you in a courtyard, leased out to indoor crazy golf, et voila Boro Bistro. I would say, follow the…

COLBERT ON SLOANE SQUARE, is located where the idea of eating French food or any food in London, makes you run back down to the district. In the opposite direction. Colbert, that isn’t to be confused by the American comedian and writer of the same nomenclature, was opened to replace the Oriel restaurant in October 2012.…

ASSUMING CASH IS A REQUIREMENT to eating well in London, is one of the better assumptions I can subscribe to. Coming from a loather of assumptions in general, admitting this, without clarification, feels sacrilegious. Research alone does not debunk this harsh reality. When you’ve got a tenner, or double that, to spend daily in London,…

ZUMA review – date of visit Saturday October 2025 BEHIND BULGARI’S ENTRANCE, A BOUNCER stands boxed in Zuma London’s. To give that members’ club air of mystique. Cul-de-sac reminiscent; Raphael Street, houses a hidden gem. Behind Bulgari Hotel and residences, there’s a Firenze feel; trattoria-lined streets, cobbled underfoot. Restaurant group Azumi began with opening Zuma…
