Lotus Floating Restaurant has been a staple in the heart of the Docklands since before I knew where the docklands were (pre 2005)! When Canary Wharf was nothing but a few office buildings and cafes, this has been the go-to Chinese of choice for locals to get authentic food. If you can ever imagine that Canary Wharf was not the… Read more →
If you like Korean food, or are looking to try it, there is possibly nowhere better to head in London that will give you deliciousness in a great environment, at an amazing price. Jinjuu means ‘pearl’ in Korean, and it certainly is a gem! Opened in Soho in 2015, I have been meaning to get around to it for a… Read more →
Opened in March, Black Roe poke bar & grill (pronounced po-kay), is the new venture behind the brilliant minds at one of my favourites, Chotto Matte: Kurt Zdesar (of Ping Pong fame). The restaurant is hidden away on tiny Mill Street just behind the hustle and bustle of New Bond Street in Mayfair. Formerly the site was home to ‘demon chef’… Read more →
Angler is a discreet, lovely restaurant above the fabulous South Place Hotel, near London’s Liverpool Street station in the heart of the city. Having spent much time in the bar downstairs, I finally got to try the michelin starred delight twice in a month! Both times taking some very special people (you know who you are!). I was delighted to… Read more →
INK restaurant in the up and coming Bethnal Green area, is going places. From the beginning when I booked, I was not sold… I found the restaurant as a very good Groupon deal, and the food looked too pretty to ignore, but I had my doubts. Especially when I had some booking problems, my pessimistic side was preparing me for… Read more →
I have been to California numerous times in my life, as my sister moved there when I was young. So I grew up visiting great spots like Manhattan Beach, Disneyland and Universal Studios – any young kid’s dream. As it came to planning our next holiday, I really wanted to take ze German to Las Vegas, as he wasn’t convinced… Read more →
I have been hoarding a few Bristol hotspots, to write a single article on the city that I frequent now and then for work. But after a particularly delicious evening the other week I have decided just to share what I have and do a guide later! After a long work day I agreed to meet colleagues for dinner at… Read more →
Saturday night, I was invited by Mrs Jonas to join her for a fabulous Burma Street Kitchen pop up in Hackney. I have eaten Burmese food only once, during our trip to Chiang Mai last year, and it was delicious. So I was keen to try it again when Mrs J told me she had won some tickets and her last… Read more →
Recently I visited The Landmark hotel near Baker Street in London. It is a beautiful location in the heart of touristy hubbub land. 10 minutes walk down the road gets you to Madam Tussauds, which I thankfully only remember from my childhood (funny memory: when my sister asked me to ask the policeman the time and he was actually a waxwork. Hilarious!). The… Read more →
Richmond is a lovely part of London, where you can mosey on through the high street once you come out of the station, and enjoy the river views when you feel like it. It is an affluent and verdant pocket of the big smoke, where it is always pleasant to take a stroll – especially through the beautiful Richmond Park,… Read more →
