If there was ever a time to eat pizza then it would be a Friday and whilst we can’t send you pizza to your desk, we can tell you about London’s next pizza joint – a slice of the action if you will (yes we went there). Following on from their success in Neal’s Yard, Homeslice are back and they’re opening their second restaurant in Fitzrovia. The 120 cover restaurant will be bigger than its sister site and will feature a main dining area, dedicated takeaway space, outdoor seating and a cocktail bar and counter seating. The vibe will be […]
At the end of next month, Cavendish Square will see the arrival of Les 110 de Taillevent a French brasserie brought to London by Taillevent Paris, the Gardinier family owned group behind the famous, 2 Michelin starred Le Taillevent. The 70 cover brasserie will have a strong focus on wine, (which is something we love to hear) with over hundred available by the glass (110 to be exact, the clue is in the name), the wine list which will feature rare wines has been curated by Pierre Bérot who brings his wealth of experience from Taillevent Paris. With a strong […]
Salaam Namaste is tucked away in London Bloomsbury; a couple of minutes’ walk from Russell Square station, and is the proud owner of ‘Best South Asian Restaurant’ at the Asian Curry Awards. When we arrived at 6pm we were only the second people there but after half an hour the place had almost filled, and by the time we left there were only two small tables available. I’m not a fan of poppadums’ or the sauces that typically go with them but I could not get enough of the creamy, tikka style sauce they serve at Salaam Namaste or the […]

Who doesn’t love cocktails? Choosing a delicious combination of flavours, watching and waiting for them to be blended into a masterpiece for you and your friends to sample. Team that up with long summer evenings, and you’re on to a winner. As we stepped inside the black doors of Noir, passed the ‘friendly but don’t mess with me’ guy on the door I noticed the sharp black leather and gold interior. The bar felt dark and intriguing, just like the 40’s film genre it shared its name with. The staff immediately looked after us and I could tell we were […]
Three – it’s a crowd, a party, the lucky one and the magic number, whichever way you look at it three is not a number not to be ignored just like the latest announcement from Shake Shack, which is that they are set to open their third London venue later this year. Setting up on New Oxford Street, the latest Shake Shack will be following the same principles as the other venues with its mission to Stand For Something Good ® by using recyclable and sustainable materials to create its unique interior. So those table tops, they aren’t just any […]
Living in London, harvest probably doesn’t really cross your mind that much, it was just something you had to do at primary school, when you were asked to bring in some vegetables and your mum sent you in with some obscure tinned beans that she bought once to try in a recipe. Well it’s time we started to appreciate it, because we hate to break it to you, but did you know potatoes don’t actually come from Waitrose? And the Gladwin Brothers aka the team behind The Shed and Rabbit are bringing harvest right to Notting Hill and the Kings […]
Outdoor cinemas are all the rage at the moment and quite frankly, we can see why! There’s just something magical about enjoying one of your favourite films, or watching a ‘must-see’ movie in stunning surroundings. Plus, it’s a tad more exciting than your living room. London Riviera, the immersive food and drink experience on the Southbank, is opening its own open air cinema this September, as part of the More London Free Festival. They will be screening classic and cult films in this amazing location and the best part is, that it’s all for free! While watching one of the […]
If you’re in Pimlico then you might have noticed the new kid on the block (and if not then let us tell you) the boutique hotel, Artist Residence (from Charlie Newbury and Justin Salisbury), on Cambridge Street, has just opened the new-all day dining venture, Cambridge Street Café. With a focus on wholesome, fresh, produce, Head Chef Radek Nitkowski (formerly Dean Street Townhouse) will be serving food throughout the day, starting with breakfast from 7:30am. The marble topped bar will be lined with newspapers, Allpress coffee and Flint & Co tea, setting the order of the day. A Belfast […]

Jean Jacques is a new French brasserie and wine bar, set over three floors of a Soho townhouse, whilst it might be a celebration of Jean Jacques Rousseau., it actually comes from a Russian restaurant group. There’s a cosy cocktail bar in the basement, handy for any Ronnie Scott’s overspill, and a lovely little roof terrace on the first floor, for alfresco dining and drinking. The menu features all the French classics that you’d expect from a Russian restaurant – steak tartare, onion soup, poussin and so on. We started with the snails, which were fine, a little under-salted, and […]
