We went to this French restaurant for a friend’s birthday! On entering this restaurant, one of the first things that I noticed was that it was a lot more spacious than what I would have expected and the lighting was just right for an evening setting. We started off with the goat’s cheese with walnut…

Leon de Bruxelles – Paris (Republique)
A good Belgian restaurant in the middle of Paris. The moules marinieres, mussels in a white wine sauce, were cooked perfectly. The chunky chips were great too but what made them even tastier was the thick good quality mayonnaise.
Oscars – Whiteleys Bayswater
This is a really good Mexican restaurant with nice decor and a good atmosphere. We only had the appetizers but they were as filling as a main meal. The chicken taquito (a corn tortilla filled with shredded chicken) had tender chicken with taco sauce and a good amount of vegetables. The taco sauce was not too spicy…
Tiffinbites – Liverpool Street Station
This is a gem of an Indian cafe with all the food tasting authentic. The idea behind this cafe/restaurant is the Indian tiffin tins. Tiffin tins are what are used primarily in India to transport lunches to workers. There are usually 3 containers: one with rice, one with a curry and one with vegetables. The food…
Bistro Romain – Paris (Republique)
A nice and friendly restaurant which had seasonal additions to its menu. This month was the ravioli month so we decided that they should be sampled. The first time at this restaurant, we had the mint, basil, tomato and ricotta tortellini which tasted really good. We also had the grilled vegetables (aubergine, red pepper and courgette)…
Yum Cha Silks and Spice – Camden Town
We originally came to this restaurant just for tea but then decided to have some dim sum as well. It has a nice location opposite the Stables Market in Camden. There was not a great range of vegetarian steamed dim sum but we did have the vegetarian Thai spring rolls. These were crispy and not at all oily….
Pick More Daisies – Crouch End
CLOSED DOWN This review has been left for historical value. Come here for breakfast, lunch, dinner or coffee and cake. Its perfect for anytime of the day! To start the day, if you would like a good quality fry-up (without the atmosphere of a greasy cafe!), then try the Brits Breakfast. Their Kobe burgers…
BAR – New Haven
This has to be one of my favourite pizza restaurants. The pizzas are out of this world, freshly cooked in the brick ovens. I think it is the tomato sauce that is one of the things that makes this pizza so delicious and moreish.
Chez Imogene Creperie – Paris (Oberkampf)
When we asked a local where we could go for good crepes, they told us about this place and said we wouldn’t be disappointed. How right they were.
