Waterloo Bar and Kitchen is a very bad restaurant. I am just telling you this so that you not, by chance such as me, stumble in there and waste precious money, time and calories on their hideous food.

September 26th, 2010 Catgory: Bistro Clos Maggiore, a French restaurant in Covent Garden, does not only offer an incredibly well-priced set-menu (19.50 for 3 courses or 24.50 for 2 courses and a half-bottle of wine) but is also supposed to be the most romantic dining spot in London. So I dragged my better half along for a Sunday lunch. September 25th, 2010 Supper Club, 40 pounds/head, BYO Shacklewell Nights is a new Supper Club born out of a collaboration of Claire Roberson and Jonathan Woolway. While Claire has had a lot of experience in hosting supper clubs before as the woman behind The Green Onion Supper Club, Jonathan Woolway works as a chef at the distinctly English St. John’s in his day job. A marriage made in heaven it seems for a delicious take on British food. September 20th, 2010 Discover the Origin – protecting food in Europe.
People who care about the food they eat are increasingly aware of where their food comes from. Discover the Origin is an Europe wide campaign promoted by the European Union to enhance the knowledge about the provenance of certain foods. Not only to help consumers with information about the origin of their food but also to protect certain trade names associated with specific locations against imitations, the EU has introduced the concept of PDO (Protected Designation of Origin). September 19th, 2010 Kyoshi Sushi must be the smallest place I have ever eaten at but also the most charming and cute one. It is too small to be even called a restaurant actually. We found it on Chowhound and it was apparently featured on the Antony Bourdain’s No Reservation programme on US TV (which I have to be honest have not heard of before). And you can look at it here (starts at 1:00 min)
September 17th, 2010
River Cafe in Hammersmith has been opened in 1987, received a Michelin star in 1988 and has been an institution of the London restaurant scene ever since. A place every serious London foodie should visit at least once I finally made it there for a delightful Sunday lunch on a perfect sunny autumn day. The restaurant is difficult to find with a rather inconspicuous sign which is easy to overlook. If it hadn’t been for Ed Miliband standing in front and welcoming guests for his luncheon (NB: not me) – I would probably still be searching. It is good to know that our politicians appreciate good food, I wonder if this should influence my decision who to vote for? September 13th, 2010 Category: Le Budget (£ Mooli’s has been the darling of the London food blogger and food lover scene for the past 6 months and I don’t know why it has taken me so long to sample their new take on Indian street food. Possibly because there are just too many restaurants and unfortunately, even when I am pushing it, only a limited amount of times I can go out for for a meal. But clearly, there is no excuse for not having visited Mooli’s earlier and I will have a lot of Mooli’s catching up to do for all this Mooli-less time I have already wasted. Because - it’s yummy, it’s fun, it’s charming, it’s novel, it’s cheap and I left with a big smile on my face. September 12th, 2010 Luckily Kyoto has been spared from air raids during the 2nd world war due to its historical value and has remained one of the world’s most culturally rich cities harbouring 17 Unesco World Heritage sites, more than 1600 Buddhist temples and over 400 ShintÅ shrines. Can I just start by saying – I did not visit all of them. In fact I did not visit very many at all which was not due to a lack of interest but rather to the heatwave which happened to visit Japan at the same time as me. The heat was especially bad in Kyoto and one could not stay outside for very long (longer than 30 seconds) without being completely soaked and close to fainting. September 11th, 2010 The port town Kobe – even though it is the 6th largest city in Japan – feels pleasant and relaxed whilst still having a cosmopolitan flair to it. I happened to end up in Kobe for a conference and was more than happy to experience this city as my introduction to Japan. It is very close to Osaka and Kyoto, but I don’t think many Western tourists ever find their way there. In fact – before the conference started – I did not see a single Caucasian. September 8th, 2010 My fascination with Japan regarding its food, its culture, literature and art has been long lasting and only financial reasons have prevented me from having gone there already ages ago. I was absolutely thrilled when it turned out I was invited for a one week conference in Kobe with the flight and hotel being payed! What a great opportunity to hang on a few days and go off to explore Japan. |
