My favourite part of the weekend, brunch. Although I actually do sneak in a simple pre-brunch breakfast to tide me over. Anyway! My latest find is The Holy Birds, famed for fried chicken, cocktails and a 70s vibe, metres away from Liverpool St Station. As I walked in I can say I was not expecting… Read More The Holy Birds
The city has always been a bit of an alien place for me, within Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Bank lies the no go triangle, unless you are employed to do so. The Kitty Hawk finds me with a reason to venture in, with the call of coffee, freshly made pastries and all day dining. After… Read More The Kitty Hawk
I love a hipster restaurant as much as the next foodie. I say foodie as we are the people who enthusiastically drag our unassuming friends into the two hour queue for the best new hybrid cuisine; sitting on uncomfortable stools in a dark, noisy, cramped room. The food is served a breath after your order… Read More Galvin La Chapelle
The formidable Pho Mile is one of my go to lunch/dinner spots.Vietnamese food is light and fresh, most restaurants welcome single people, couples or groups so it is a reliable choice. My obsession with Pho (a light noodle soup traditionally served with rare beef) has lead me round nearly every restaurant on Pho Mile .… Read More Pho Viet 68
Most Mondays I’m reprimanding myself for drinking that little bit (a lot) too much and staying out that little bit later than I should. Leading me on a hunt for the obligatory carb heavy lunch. I haven’t been to Philadelphia but they are famous for the ‘cheesesteak’, a huge sandwich of peppery steak, onions and… Read More Liberty Cheesesteak
Vital Ingredient, the original salad bar in London with 17 outlets invited me to give their salad bar a try. I was in need of a quick lunch on a warm busy day, and with summer coming I’m always cautions with prepared food because you just don’t know what goes in there. However, Vital Ingredient… Read More Vital Ingredient
Walking through the City at night reminds me of the beautiful urbanisation in London, scuttling through the alleyways between massive skyscrapers. I’m sure if you work in the City this rose tinted view wears off pretty quickly leaving the expanse of stark grey buildings behind. Being in the City or not nothing keeps be away… Read More Darbaar
Let’s by pass all this ‘healthy’ New Year thing and just go straight in for a boozy bottomless brunch; famously named for its limitless alcohol. This is a really fun thing to do with a group of friends, they usually have a set menu so when you split the bill you wont be stung by… Read More Bad Egg
A new restaurant a stones throw from Liverpool Street means it is heaving with attractive young professionals by the cocktail bar when we arrive on a Friday night. Seated, we are handed the wine list and menu, just the start of their slick yet unobtrusive service. We had wine by the glass through out our… Read More Canto Corvino
A ‘bottomless brunch’ is a strange animal, promoting binge drinking in the middle of the day with a strict time limit. Hey I’m not judging it, I’m ‘reviewing’ it, well that is what I was telling myself four glasses of prosecco in… Bottomless brunches also get booked up quickly, usually with a set menu and unlimited alcohol… Read More New Street Grill – bottomless brunch
