La Porchetta is our office’s default pizza place in Soho. If we ever feel like consuming 1,000 calories or so over lunch, we have this place on speed dial so that our order will be ready for collection when we get there. We dined in recently due to our office’s very generous policy of buying …
“The Bountiful Cow – a public house devoted to beef.” Possibly the best description of a pub that I have ever encountered. This place has it all; and when I say that they have it all, I mean that they have ridiculously large burgers for a very reasonable price. So I guess that they don’t …
I am currently binging on Thai food. Not in a gross literal sense, but still. My last two reviews have been of Thai restaurants; I went back to Esarn Kheaw for seconds last Friday; I had Thai for lunch yesterday (this review); and today I’m going to a Thai restaurant for the office Christmas meal. …
I found out recently that my family have never had Thai food before. That they had never eaten Thai food before. At all. I was shocked. Naturally, I’m going to right this wrong (starting with my sister this weekend), but still – everybody has had Thai food before, right? And pretty much everybody likes it …
Wow. When we bought Groupon vouchers for Esarn Kheaw we were just expecting some nice, cheap Thai food – nothing exceptional and nothing inoffensive. Instead, we were pleasantly surprised. The vouchers were £15 for £30 value to share between two people, so we bought a couple thinking that we’d go twice. I can safely say that …
I’ve mentioned before that I don’t go out for Indian food that often, but Imli serves the type of Indian food that I can get on board with. I like my Indian food light and fragrant – not heavy, hot and oily. Always on the lookout for a bargain, we recently took advantage of an …
We have a new Thursday tradition in our office: we take it in turns at finding a restaurant which costs £10 or less per person. This is easy as we work in Soho, and there are eight of us (we’re a web/social networking startup). The company then very kindly buys us lunch. I think that …
This place is almost exactly like Yo Sushi. I will be up-front and say that I have an (I feel entirely justified) hatred of that particular chain. If you are familiar with Yo Sushi then feel free to skip the bulk of this review; make the comparison in your head, and then make the decision …
I know that this is a London food blog (it says so right in the tagline – “fine dining on a budget in London”) but my recent experience at La Clef des Champs in Brussels was too good not to write about. I share my experiences here in the hope that somebody planning a trip …
I still remember the first time I went to Jumbo Eats for lunch. I hadn’t been working in Soho for long, perhaps just a couple of weeks, and my co-workers suggested that we go to “Techno Wraps”. I was intrigued. We walked there, and as we got closer the reason for the name soon became …
