I’ve noticed a recent rise in Báhn mì cafes across London, churning out their Vietnamese meat filled baguettes, and a lot more attention is definitely being splashed on the already established restaurants and Vietnamese cafes dotted across the city – seems like Vietnamese cuisine is definitely the latest trendy grub!
Recently I succumbed to said trendy grub and dragged …

Every now and again I seemingly stumble on a great little independent wine shop, a funky boutique wine bar or an amazingly cosy restaurant. Though what if I told you I had found all 3 rolled into one in the heart of the City, on Bow Lane? Now the Enoteca concept is not entirely new, but finding a …

Ask most foodies what they are looking for in a great pub and the answer will not be ’space to park an overpriced and oversized pram’ but such are the recent changes in my life that such a space is now a prerequisite for any lunch booking.

Let’s cut to the chase: The Canton Arms in Stockwell, south London is a very good gastropub. Managed by a team who previously ran the show at Waterloo’s Anchor and Hope, it opened about twelve months ago to a barrage of press which mainly focused on its rather novelty foie gras toastie.

The St John-isation of the UK dining scene is well documented. Where once Fergus Henderson ploughed a lone furrow of pigs heads and bone marrow, now those dishes appear on menus across the land. The gospel of Proper British Food has spread far and wide - and the world is a better place for …

I’d make a rubbish restaurant review blogger. For a start, I’m useless with a camera and always feel embarrased when I do take photos in restaurants. I just feel bad stopping my friends from diving in to their scallops starter while I snap away merrily. All of which is my excuse for illustrating this post with a photo nicked for Odette’s website rather than …

IT was a rainy night. The kind of rainy and cold night where you suddenly feel that wearing high heels and forgetting your umbrella at the office were far from being your smartest choices of the day.
All the girls will picture those two actors kissing under the rain, as if nothing could …

I lived in Buenos Aires for 3 years back in the day so I know a bit about Argentine cuisine, even if I was a vegetarian for 2 of those 3 years. Yes, I know, how could I, was I mad, etc… One thing I can say is that I’m a pretty good judge of Argentine …

I hadn’t had a decent lunch in ages. I mean a proper lunch, one with three courses and red wine and at least the possibility of some cheese. In fact, it had been months: Christmas, January credit card bills and the cold had been getting in the way of serious eating.
That all changed with one absent minded click that took me from …
