We all know that you can find cuisine from almost anywhere in the world in London. The food of some nations will never really travel beyond a single restaurant due to the acquired palette needed. Others are much more acceptable to our taste buds and travel far and wide to dozens, if not hundreds... »
Love: Restaurants & Bars

Bedford & Strand, WC2
It doesn’t matter how much time you spend in our great city or how well you think you know it, London has the uncanny knack of throwing up the greatest of surprises when you least expect it. Take my recent visit to Bedford & Strand for example. It’s been around for quite a few... »
Benares, W1
We often hear the term ‘Modern British Food’ casually bandied around, but to my mind, I don’t really know what this means. At best, I’d say was traditional British dishes, deconstructed, poncified and served in measly portions – i.e. not terribly appealing. However, with Benares, I think Chef Atul Kochhar has created the very... »
Red Barn, RH7
We all love the idea of heading down to a country pub when it’s cold & dreary outside to huddle round a big fire and tell stories over a couple of pints. The problem is that when the weather does take a turn for the worst, making your way past the end of the... »
St Anton am Arlberg, Austria
Welcome to St Anton am Arlberg. The self-proclaimed cradle of Alpine skiing and home of some of the swankiest restaurants in Austria. Just an hour from Innsbruck airport, this resort boasts a rich skiing heritage and arguably the most varied terrain and best snow conditions in Europe. The skiing area is extensive – five... »
Terroirs, WC2
Tucked away along a quiet oasis between the Strand and Covent Garden, Terroirs has quietly been getting on with developing a reputation as one of London’s top restaurants. Terroirs originally launched a number of years ago as a wine bar serving highly quality tapas style plates of rustic French food. However, no doubt as... »
Charlotte Street Blues, W1
With the economy in a bit of a pickle, the opening of a venue championing the poignant side of music was probably the best timed of 2009! I jest of course, for Charlotte Street Blues provided one of the most entertaining nights I’ve had in ages. Set in a characterful three storey converted Georgian... »
1 Lombard Street, EC3
Whilst dining in The City isn’t to everyone’s taste, one can’t deny that restaurants in London’s financial district are some of the most visually interesting around. With so many historical buildings to choose from, restaurants can be found in the most inconspicuous yet spectacular of settings. Restaurants like Greens, situated on the mezzanine level... »
Trishna, W1
When you sister restaurant is known to be one of Mumbai’s finest Indian restaurants, the expectations on your London outpost are understandably going to be high. Probably appreciating how difficult it is to emulate such a revered restaurant, the team behind Trishna merely bought a few influences of their Indian outpost to London. As... »
The Warrington, W9
Being in the restaurant game, I have the pleasure of meeting some right characters on my travels. And so it was that my trip to The Warrington produced a real gem. Asked on his opinion of the macaroni cheese, our waiter gave the dish the ultimate recommendation by boldly stating something along the lines... »
