  • MiMi Mei Fair – Chinese New Year 2025

    MiMi Mei Fair – Chinese New Year 2025

    Chinese New year fell on 29 January 2025 – Year of the Snake. This year is all about transformation, evolution and precision. ” A snake that cannot shed its old skin perishes” With this year being all about transformation, I should really transform into more of a creature of habit and remain consistent with these…

  • OMA

    Oma is a hidden gem which sits above Borough Market in London Bridge, think high end Greek food in a modern grey wash setting. Once you find it (above Agora), you will be pleasantly surprised, if you like this kind of atmosphere. I visited at lunchtime and found that it was unsurprisingly busy. This restaurant…

  • Fish Union

    Fish Union

    Fish Union is a fishmongers by day and a restaurant by night but despite it appearance do not mistake this establishment for a chippy. The restaurant has a very small outside seating area, which in the summer (IF we ever get one) is pleasant. While we waited for our table to be ready we sat…

  • Les Relais De Venise, L’entrecôte

    Les Relais De Venise, L’entrecôte

    Salad, steak, chips and a famous sauce. What’s not to like? Unless salad, steak chips and a famous sauce isn’t your thing! This restaurant ONLY serves the above so if it isn’t for you, this is one to miss. For those of you that are still with me, this restaurant is a real delight. There…

  • Humble Crumble – Borough Market

    Humble Crumble – Borough Market

    Not a restaurant, but a dessert stall in Borough Market. Humble Crumble is anything but humble. If you are a fan of apple crumble and all things dessert, then this is well worth a visit. You can choose from a variety fruit bases, adjust your fruit/crumble ratio and pick hot or cold toppings. Not everyone…

  • Seabird – Hoxton Hotel

    Seabird – Hoxton Hotel

    Jump in the lift in the Hoxton Hotel on Blackfriars Rd and you are whizzed to the rooftop. Enter Seabird. As the restaurant is 14 floors up, it means the view is very decent, even more so if you are able to sit outside on the terrace. Seabird is charming in its nature, and a…

  • Habanera, Madrid

    Habanera, Madrid

    This restaurant lights up the street corner facing Colon metro station. As you step off the pavement into the doorway, you are greeted by what looks like a botanical garden, the atmosphere is inviting. Garden vibes in the the city centre of Madrid, Habanera may look pretty, but one thing I will say is that it…

  • Vamos to Arros QD

    Vamos to Arros QD

    Prepare to be transported to Spain with the authentic wood fired Spanish paella dishes served at Arros qd. Think open fire station views and great wine pairing. This restaurant screams special occasion. I began with the Achiote pulled pork which is served on corn bread with pickled red cabbage, this was a winner for me.…
