If you have a craving for chicken, which I had on this particular day, then Nando’s hits the spot perfectly! It had to be the quarter chicken with their famous PERi-PERi mango and lime sauce! The chicken was fresh and succulent and you can tell that Nando’s don’t use frozen chicken. As the meat had…

Tinderbox – N1 Centre, Angel
This espresso bar has recently relocated from the busy Upper Street to the N1 Centre. Looking at it from the outside, Tinderbox looks like a small takeaway coffee shop. But if you walk in and up the flights of wooden stairs at the back end, that is where the real coffee shop is! The Tinderbox…
Melbury & Appleton – Muswell Hill
This gem of a place was recommended to me by my friend Joan Podel, and to be honest I wasn’t that keen on reviewing it at first. Why? Simply because in my experience this type of deli often leave the food out in the open for everyone and their kids to poke and sneeze into,…
Poseidon Fish Restaurant – East Finchley
You can tell the excellent quality of the fish at Poseidon. I was impressed that they specialised in 20 varieties of fish and that you have the option of either having it fried in groundnut oil and matso flour or you can have the healthier grilled option. We asked if we could have the mussels…
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…

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…
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…
Del’Aziz Cafe – Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre
A leisure centre is not the first place that would come to mind when thinking of a good Mediterranean bistro but this one is an exception. The large wooden tables and stools give it a rustic feel. You can sit either looking at the view outdoors or one of the window walls looks down onto…
