One of the things that caught my eye as I looked at the entrance of this branch of Pizza Express was that it had been given an impressive five stars from Scores on the Doors. Scores on the Doors is the official local authority hygiene ratings for food establishments. The Bruschetta con Funghi was not…

BFI Benugo Bar and Kitchen – South Bank
We went to this BFI cafe as our regular favourite BFI Riverfront cafe was closed on this particular morning. The decor looked very similar to Tibits on Regent Street: https://ratemybistro.co.uk/tibits-regent-street/ Seen as Benugo Bar and Kitchen has been open for a lot longer, Tibits’ decor may have been inspired from this BFI cafe! Benugo is…
Tampopo – Chelsea
Tampopo’s slogan is “fresh Eastern cooking” and that is what they deliver. Their cuisine ranges from Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. The service was really friendly and the waiter came and made sure that all the food was ok. The staff were very helpful and answered all my questions about the…
Rossopomodoro – Covent Garden
This Neapolitan restaurant is situated on the premises where the former sushi eatery Gili Gulu used to be! Rossopomodoro’s menu is quite extensive ranging from the usual pizzas, pastas, salads to fried pizzas, grills and a selection of starters. We were quite impressed with the quality of the food the first time we ate at…
Bella Italia – Whiteleys Bayswater
Walk straight past the crowded open area of Starbucks in Whiteleys and head to the calmer Bella Italia for your coffee break! There is plenty of seating inside or out on the terrace. The decor had that warming rustic feel to it! The tea was served by the pot and there was definitely enough for…

Stage Door Cafe – Sadlers Wells Theatre Islington
This is a nice enough cafe next door to the Sadlers Wells Theatre. At first, it looks like they only have a few of the high metal tables and chairs by the counter. But at the back, it opens out into the garden court area. This is indoors and is very light and airy. The…
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! The decor is pretty cool; nice artwork on the wall and strings of lights near the back of the restaurant. The staff were really friendly…
