Proud Cabaret, EC3
Opening a restaurant in London is a precarious affair, with the location being one of the most difficult decisions to make. So opening in one of London’s lesser known back streets is probably not the most obvious choice. However, judging by their packed reservations book, Proud Cabaret seems to have figured out the formula... »
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... »
Sauterelle, EC3
With restaurants like Sauterelle, it’s no wonder that the City’s dodgy bankers got away so many dubious deals. Here we have a truly impressive restaurant located within The Royal Exchange - one of the City’s largest and most historically important buildings – where the money men can enjoy fine wines, great food and talk... »
Tike, EC3
Not counting dodgy doners kebabs which are about as Turkish as The Pope, my knowledge of Turkish food is somewhat limited at best. Fortunately, I had heard some very good things about this highly regarded international chain of Turkish restaurants, so popped down to see what the fuss was about. I was pleasantly surprised... »
New Opening: Chinese Cricket Club @ Crowne Plaza Hotel, EC3
With a former Zuma chef at the helm and it’s location in one of The City’s top hotels, Chinese Cricket Club looks likely to be infinitely more successful than the rubbish cricket team that it’s named after!

Bangalore Express, SE1 & EC3
In a city of around 250 spoken languages and 6000 restaurants, it’s no surprise that Londoners have such a variety of cuisine to choose from. From Indian and Italian to the Caribbean and South Africa, there’s a restaurant to suit every taste. In the case of Bangalore Express, you can even have them all... »
Greens, EC3
Whilst most restaurant owners wait about 10 minutes before they decide to embark on an expansion plan, the team behind Greens have taken a mere 27 years to open the second outpost of their original restaurant in St James’s. I’m not sure whether it’s an ironic twist of bad timing or economic optimism, but... »
New Opening: Green’s Restaurant & Oyster Bar, EC3
With oyster season officially underway, the opening of Green’s is perfectly timed for City folk to indulge in the delicious shellfish. Split into two areas, the Banking Hall is open from breakfast to dinner and features a crustacean display and a grazing menu for a quick bite; whilst the mezzanine restaurant will be open... »
