An absolutely outstanding North-African lunch experience: Restaurant The Barbary (12. November 2023)
The Barbary is a place, which has been showing up on many of my lists as a place one should visit. Naturally, I was wondering if that was really the case, and it turns out, yes, it is! I mean, the place is relatively small, with maybe like 16–20 spaces around a bar. However, in […]
A place, which serves memorable dishes like maple bacon and rosemary spinach: Restaurant Hawksmoor Spitalfields (11. November 2023)
Only after uploading the pictures for this post, I had realised that I’ve already been to the Hawksmoor Spitalfields once before in February 2020. However, I had already rated the place quite well back then, and I can just reconfirm that. We went for the “Old Spot Belly Ribs (vinegar slaw)” (GBP 15.00) as one […]
A speakeasy, which is easily found with great drinks: The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town @ The Breakfast Club (11. November 2023)
The thing I truly dislike about speak easys today is the fact that you really have to book in advance, and it’s very public. I mean, back in 2016, when I visited my first speak easy, it was really a well hidden place, where you would not get in if you didn’t know. Nowadays, you […]
A delicious Syrian food experience with initially confused waiters: Restaurant Imad’s Syrian Kitchen (10. November 2023)
Given I haven’t had the chance to try Syrian kitchen on a regular basis, I was intrigued to try Imad’s Syrian Kitchen. The place is located in the Kingly Court, which is a nice area full of a variety of restaurants. The Imad’s Syrian Kitchen is on the top floor and is actually super booked […]
A wanna be Peruvian restaurant: Restaurant Monmouth Kitchen (9. November 2023)
Given I’ve spent the past few days cooking at Le Cordon Bleu and you usually end up eating what you’ve prepared throughout the day, I was not really too hungry for dinner. However, given this day the course was done exceptionally early, I felt a bit hungry again and decided to try a restaurant for […]
My first Burmese cuisine experience: Restaurant Lahpet West End (6. November 2023)
Since I’ve never been to a Burmese restaurant before, I decided to give the Lahpet a try when I walked by and realised its specialisation. Luckily, they serve a “Lunch Menu” for only GBP 15.00 until 4pm. And given the selection of the lunch menu that day was quite appealing, I decided to for it […]
A truly amazing experience – entering a private members club in London: Carlton Club (27. June 2023)
If you ever have the chance to get into a private member club in London, you should definitely do so. I was lucky enough to have that opportunity and man, it’s an experience! The things are really like they show it in the movies (obviously depending on the film, though). Everything feels like it’s been […]
An interesting Scottish dinner experience: Restaurant Boisdale of Belgravia (27. June 2023)
When I was suggested to visit this place, I was a bit surprised since it turned out to be a Scottish (not a British!) restaurant. Since my colleague is Scottish, though, this started making a lot more sense. And I must say, my Scottish food experience was a pleasant one. We started with “beer sticks […]
