I would have never gone to Cafe Amisha if it wasn’t for my Italian friend at work. She is a very good cook herself and very critical about Italian restaurants, but this one, she said, served very decent food. Who would have thought this about a place called Cafe Amisha? You expect a grotty Indian take away, so I was still not convinced. But considering that it is 10 minutes by foot from where I live/ about 10 minutes also from Bermondsey Street and that it is 50% off on Taste London, I was willing to take a risk. Read more...

Set menu: 18 pounds for 2 courses, 21 pounds for 3 courses
York & Albany was a very pleasant surprise. You walk up Parkway from Camden Tube Station and it seems endless in wind and cold. You think you must have missed it, when you suddenly there it is: A Gordon Ramsey restaurant in the middle of nowhere (at least it seemed so to me, correct me when it’s a really cool area after all) at the corner of Regent’s Park which is unpretentious and the food is really really good.

Goldfish City might have a rather funny name for a restaurant but it serves surprisingly delicious, non-greasy Chinese food. Why surprising? Chinese is the cuisine I have been probably the most unlucky with over the past years and only recently I have discovered a range of Chinese restaurants where I actually LIKE the food. Maybe I finally broke the Bad Chinese Food in London spell? Read more... (625 words, 8 images, estimated 2:30 mins reading time)

Pasha is a posh Moroccan restaurant in Gloucester Road and it unfortunately did not impress me at all. Pasha and my relationship was off to a bad start as its website plays a very very annoying music which took me forever to switch off resulting in me being highly irritated. This would have been already enough to put me off Pasha forever, but I had to give it a chance: I needed a pre-concert restaurant before going to the Royal Albert Hall and Pasha happens to be 50% off on Taste London. So there we go. Read more... (744 words, 7 images, estimated 2:59 mins reading time)

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. Read more... (607 words, 7 images, estimated 2:26 mins reading time)

So there is one major problem with Platform, a new restaurant close to London Bridge tube station. It is very loud. I mean ‘you can’t understand you own word and have to shout at your opposite’ loud. ‘Having no voice left afterward’ loud. ‘Having no way to attract the attention of the waiter’ loud. I think you got the idea. Read more... (635 words, 2 images, estimated 2:32 mins reading time)

Vietnamese and Japanese fusion….? No it’s not, it’s awful!
N and I, after a not very successful shopping afternoon (I wonder who actually looks good in harem pants..), had booked a table at Nuocmam in Great Portland Street close to Oxford Circus. It was 50% off on Taste London and it claimed to serve Vietnamese cuisine.
When we arrived there we started to feel a bit dubious about the whole idea, as the sign at the door indicated that it was a “karaoke restaurant”. Scary! Read more... (652 words, 1 image, estimated 2:36 mins reading time)

The first sunny day of the year made us venture out to Richmond. After some Pimms at the river side, we ended up at FishWorks for dinner – a branch of a small chain of fish restaurants/ fish mongers/ cookery schools (fish & seafood) which looked rather attractive with loads of fresh fish being displayed at the fishmonger part attached to the restaurant. Even better they had a table for us outside. Read more... (542 words, 2 images, estimated 2:10 mins reading time)

Sometimes not even a 50% off deal (Toptable) makes a restaurant worth going to. Alfie’s, a hotel restaurant on Bermondsey Square, is one of these unfortunate places.
It didn’t have very good reviews admittedly, but we decided to give it a chance anyway, as the hotel looks really classy from the outside and so does the restaurant. Also the inside is quite nice – it’s a rather stylish, maybe not too comfortable but nicely done with an open kitchen. Read more... (408 words, 2 images, estimated 1:38 mins reading time)

I should have know better, especially as I know I prefer quality over quantity… what on god’s earth made me go for the Hi Sushi all you can eat tasting menu? To be fair – everyone in the restaurant seemed to be doing exactly this and it was filled with Japanese, so I prematurely got my hopes up I have to admit (even though it is common knowledge that ‘all you can eat’ is worthwhile only for people who actually eat a lot and don’t care how it tastes).
