The Potato Project (Soho)
Even in my darkest times while living in Australia (it’s true, I used to complain more than I should have, it’s really not that bad), there was always one thing about it that gave me hope in a better...
View ArticleThe Calf
There was a soft autumn light which poured itself inside the pub – which is strange given that it is only the beginning of spring. The Calf was eerily quiet, as many places tend to be at this time of...

The cakes are scattered around the room, kept safely under their little glass dome, much alike the rose in Beauty & the Beast (I can’t help it that is what those things make me think about all the...

Deciding a good place to brunch is never as easy as TV series would depict, where characters seemingly wake up with divine providence of where to go. Instead, there’s more of a barrage of queries such...
View ArticleTart
The cabin-like wooden interior, together with the baskets of croissants and madeleines lying about quickly made me think of a chalet when entering tart. Surely enough, chalets aren’t necessarily French...
View ArticleThe Camden Assembly
Camden has always been a vibrant area full of bars and pubs attracting quite a lot of younger people (and it also has the Irish Centre where I went to see some blue collar boxing matches). With the...

Looking back at the traditions of especially posh Britain, hunting used to be something that was quite important – even if it has now decreased quite considerably. The London food scene has certainly...
View ArticleRum & Sugar
The West India Quay side of the Wharf tends to be one of the go-to locations for after-work drinks, so it was high time to explore what the area offers in terms of lunches. Rum & Sugar makes me...
View ArticleDstrkt
The inconspicuous entrance of Dstrkt is oddly reminiscent of places I would expect to be frequented by Russian gangsters; sleek, hidden, with a hint of modern and glamour. The sakura (cherry-blossom)...

South Kensington is not foreign to French delicatessens, with La Patisserie des Reves just around the corner. It is rather fitting with the area, which has a certain appeal towards sophistication and...
View ArticleCafe Route
Dried chilies hanging from the ceiling, accompanied by the odd smoked pig leg, channel the two great loves of my life: spice and pork. The Route Cafe sprawls outside onto Dalston Square – a boon if...
View ArticleThe Great Eastern
Once described by a work colleague of mine as “Familyville”, the term fully encompasses what Island Gardens feels like: quaint, brick by boring brick. It’s pretty lifeless when it comes to anything...

For a Catholic country like Mexico to produce such a sinful food as the burrito is simply beyond me – two deadly sins, lust and gluttony, combined in a wonderful wrap of joy and pleasure. Certainly...
View ArticleComptons of Soho
Abundant, in Soho, are the bars where a gay man can go and be himself. In reflections of such a difficult task that is which one to pick, I’ve decided to start reviewing them (in a very PG13 fashion...
View ArticleLoves Company
As the “Bare Necessities” played effortless in the background, we sat at the high chairs, the dying light of day slowly giving way to a soft darkness that enveloped the streets. Loves Company has a...
View ArticleProtein Haus
The concept behind Protein Haus (healthy eating, knowing exactly what your food contains) is one that I fully support – and one that I believe needs to be replicated more in our society. It’s not...

Greenwich is completely underrated – I mean there’s a reason why of all places in London, Thor decided to wreck Greenwich University Campus. The area is stunning, especially in the summer, and more...
View ArticleOgnisko
It’s true that the concept of “Polish cuisine” might dissuade people rather than entice them, but Ognisko certainly has a thing or two to say about that! Shrouded in classical South Ken opulence, the...

The concept of “fusion” within gastronomy is one that I do not usually agree with – often either a front for not having to adhere to certain rules that have a point or at times just so you could sell...

Somewhere in a deep dark corner of my blog, there must have been a promise made for me to constantly bemoan the general shittiness of restaurants and cafes in the Wharf (yes, I know, it’s not that bad...
