Experimental Negroni Club at Henrietta Hotel, Covent Garden
Did you know that 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Negroni cocktail? Obviously, the folks at Campari (a key ingredient in a Negroni – along with equal parts gin and red vermouth, and an orange peel) are well aware … Continue reading

The Oystermen Seafood Bar & Kitchen
Heading over to The Oystermen for a friendly lunch earlier this week, I found the year and a half old eatery to be doing an even tastier job than before with an updated and broadened – but still exquisitely simple – menu. Continue reading

Best Cafes of 2018
Excellent coffee is crucial, particularly when I’m travelling. Having comfortable places to drink it is a big deal too. So are competent and affable baristas. If you can throw in reliable WiFi and an outlet to keep my laptop and phone charged while I drink coffee, you’re golden. This list of three London espresso bars and six more in Chattanooga (Tennessee), Greenville (North Carolina), Köln, Liverpool, Pittsburgh, and Zurich met all my requirements and shined the brightest for me in 2018.

Covent Garden Smells of Roses
London’s Covent Garden is synonymous with many things. The traffic-free piazza, luxury boutiques, restaurants and bars are amongst those which make it a must see for anyone visiting town. There’s always a good reason to go but here’s one more. Fleurs de Ville’s floral-dressed mannequin installations are now on display in Covent Garden’s Central Avenue. They will remain there as part of Frieze Festival until Sunday 7th October. Continue reading

Best London Bars and Pubs of 2015
London has been a great place to drink for many a year. This year, for me, it seemed even better than before.

Nothing Jarring about a Relaxing Dinner at Drury Lane’s Jar Kitchen
A member of the Sustainable Restaurant Association, Jar Kitchen’s menu features plenty of British fare (all meat sourced from Walter Rose & Son butchers in Wiltshire) with a contemporary European twist along with tasty items presumably picked up just round the restaurant’s Seven Dials corner (chiefly Monmouth Coffee and Neal’s Yard Dairy). And – from what I could ascertain at a recent tasting event – I it’s all in good hands with Chef Dominik Moldenhauer (ex-Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner). Continue reading

Tredwell’s by Marcus Wareing
Often before heading to a restaurant for the first time I’ll have a look online at existing reviews about the place to know what to keep an eye out for and maybe to avoid. For my Sunday lunch visit to Marcus Wareing’s “Modern British” Tredwell’s, I should have just avoided reading the reviews all together and let my gut (which is now a good bit larger after my Tredwell’s meal) guide me in the right direction.

Tequila with Zing
World of Zing’s new range of Flavoured Salts is delicious; the salts pair especially well with Tequila Ocho – the world’s first single field (and still only?) premium tequila – for a most flavoursome margarita, and a fine bar for enjoying said cocktails is El Nivel near Covent Garden. Oh yeah, one more thing: World of Zing and Tequila have teamed up to launch a bottled Persian Lime and Nori Margarita cocktail. It’s yet to hit the market, but based on the sips I took a tasting a few weeks back, I can confirm it’s a lip smacker that’s well worth a wait. I reckon it’d make a terrific thirst quencher served just about anywhere you hanker to have it. Continue reading

The MacRib: Mega Meaty Americana at Joe’s Southern Kitchen
Up until last weekend, I would have filed Joe’s Southern Kitchen under that category of Central London restaurants that I’ve walked by innumerable times but never actually ventured inside. Heck, I can even remember when the place was called Navajo Joe’s. But when an offer came round to sample this Covent Garden stalwart’s new (and blatant “homage” to you-know-who’s limited offer you-know-what) MacRib sandwich, I reckoned it was time to give the place a go. I’m glad I did. Continue reading
