Cafe Leo – Sheen Lane

I found myself at Sheen Lane again this week and decided to try the bacon and egg rolls offered by Cafe Leo.

Cafe Rouge – Highgate

What I like about Cafe Rouge is that you can come here just for drinks or for a proper meal. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff don’t rush you in any manner. The red and white furniture complements the dark wooden surroundings. It does feel like a bistro that you would get in…

Le Pain Quotidien – Soho

We’ve been to Le Pain Quotidien many a time and it is good at any time of the day! It’s great to go early in the morning when the pastries are all fresh. They do good quality croissants and pain au chocolat. The granola with yogurt could have done with more yogurt to balance out…

Sapori – Covent Garden

A great pizzeria tucked away from the busy streets of Covent Garden. This restaurant is quite small although it does have some tables downstairs. We were lucky to be seated upstairs!

Brasserie Chez Gerard – Kensington High Street

On this site used to be one of my regular restaurants, Caffe Uno. This has now been changed (just like many others) to the French restaurant Brasserie Chez Gerard.

Bistro Aix – Crouch End

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…

Tibits – Regent Street

This vegetarian cafe had only been open for two weeks when we visited it. On entering, it was very spacious and had a nice atmosphere. Everything looked very new and clean. The staff seemed to be clearing up constantly so the cafe remained tidy.
