On one of the main squares in Gamla Stan is this wonderful cafe. Chokladkoppen is quite easy to spot; just look for the two tall colourful buildings, and the orange one is the one that you want. It is a fantastic cafe to sit and watch the world go by, especially on a hot sunny day.

Sen Nin – Angel
Last weekend, I had the privilege of going out for dinner with my brother and spending some quality time with him. He chose the restaurant and I was not at all disappointed. I was introduced to Sen Nin: a Japanese tepannyaki and sushi restaurant in Angel.
Prezzo -Euston
Prezzo initially pleased us both with its food and service. It was towards the end of the meal that this restaurant failed us. On arriving at Prezzo, there seemed to be a nice atmosphere helped by the friendly staff. Wood panelling, nice decor and comfortable chairs made up the dining area.
Getti – Piccadilly
Getti is a mediocre Italian restaurant. I would not say that the food was outstanding nor was it bad.
Bluebird Cafe – Chelsea
Bluebird Cafe makes up just one part of the Bluebird Courtyard, which includes the cafe, restaurant, shop and bakery. It has a lovely outdoor seating area with the heaters to stop you getting chilly.
Bakko – Muswell Hill
Bakko is a fantastic family run Turkish restaurant which serves food of the highest quality. There were so many things on the menu that took my fancy. It finally came down to a choice between some mezes or a main dish. I chose a few of the hot mezes so that I had some variety in my meal.
Gourmet Pizza Company – South Bank
Gourmet Pizza Company looks like a beach hut and it may not be exactly next to a beach, but it has the River Thames on its side. The actual location is in Gabriel’s Wharf on the South Bank.
Reun Thai – Hammersmith
As soon as I entered Reun Thai, I was taken aback by the friendliness of the staff. It is quite a small restaurant and was decorated in earthy tones. The wooden chairs were comfortable as they had seat cushions.
English Tea Room at Brown’s Hotel – Mayfair
If you want to go for a traditional English Afternoon Tea, then you must try the Tea Room at Brown’s Hotel. It is quite formal and an excellent treat for a special occasion. This venue and its Afternoon Tea was awarded the “Top London Afternoon Tea 2009” by the Tea Guild.
