Tupelo Honey looks ok when you enter but it did not take long to be disappointed with this place. All the food on the counter is open and looked stale. The main dishes in the counter fridge were already prepared and cooked, and would only be warmed up if ordered. Right next to the window…

Fig & Olive – Angel
On entering Fig & Olive, there is the ornate seating on one side and the display of its cakes on the other. There was quite a large selection of cakes, fruit pies, cheesecakes and pastries. These were displayed behind a glass front but customers could still reach them. It would have been better for the cakes to be in a closed display fridge.
Frankie’s Bar and Grill – Dublin
Situated in the lively Temple Bar area is Frankie Dettori’s and Marco Pierre White’s restaurant. This Italian restaurant was a little dark when we entered but I think that we got accustomed to the lighting.
Serpentine Bar & Kitchen – Hyde Park
The Serpentine Bar and Kitchen in Hyde Park has been newly renovated. It is a really great spacious cafe/bistro. They do a range of food, from fresh pizzas cooked in their pizza oven, to sandwiches and other hot dishes.
Tas – Waterloo
Tas is a great restaurant that serves Anatolian/Turkish cuisine. The food is very tasty and portions are quite big. The kitchen and the bar are at the back end of the restaurant. The starter we had was borek: filo pastry filled with feta cheese and spinach. This was nice and as there were four pieces,…
Phoenix Palace – Baker Street
Dim sum is always great but it is better going with a group of friends for a weekend lunch. It means that you get to catch up with everyone and also share lots of different dishes.
Caponata Osteria and Bar – Camden Town

We were welcomed by the very friendly staff, who told us that this level of the restaurant was the informal Osteria, which means bar/inn in Italian. It had a…
Caffe Uno – Bond Street
Caffe Uno is one of those reliable restaurants that we used to visit quite often. But it now seems that they don’t have as many branches as they used to. We decided just to go for a range of starters and so then we also got the additional variety! The light dough ball fritters were diamond shaped…
Sway Bar and Kitchen – Holborn
Sway is quite a trendy looking place from the outside and we were welcomed by the friendly smiling staff as soon as we entered. The restaurant area is on the same floor as the bar but is separated by a small divide. Take a look at the fresh fish fridge as you walk to your…
