Superbly hyped but definitely not a place you need to visit: Restaurant Clos Maggiore (25. October 2025)
The Clos Maggiore was on my to do list for quite a while since it has been labelled as one of the most romantic restaurants in London – and I figured, why not give it a try. However, it’s not really that mind-blowing, so, not entirely sure how it got up there. After a rather […]
A place I should have visited much earlier: Japanese BBQ & Bento @ Borough Market (25. October 2025)
When it’s raining outside and the weather is cold, you feel like warming up with something tasty, so the Borough Market is just perfect for that purpose. The only issue with that is that there are so many food joints that it’s hard to pick. But given it was actually quite cold, a warm ramen […]
If you randomly stumble upon the perfect breakfast spot: Chestnut Bakery Covent Garden (25. October 2025)
It was nothing but luck that I saw the Chestnut Bakery Covent Garden, but given the place was already quite crowded right after it had opened and given the food looked tasty, I figured one should have breakfast here. I started with the “turkey, garlic & honey mustard lattice” (GBP 7.25), which was actually quite […]
Great hand-made noodles for a late night snack: Lanzhou Lamian Noodle Bar (24. October 2025)
Funny enough, only an hour or so before, I’ve seen this joint online offering great hand-made noodles for less than GBP 10.00 – and given it was just around the corner from my hotel, I figured I should give it a try, so, I did. I went for the “beef noodle soup” (GBP 10.90), which […]
Superb service, friendly staff, tasty, but expensive: Restaurant SiLVA (24. October 2025)
It wasn’t all too easy to find a place on a Friday evening, which has space and has a good rating. I found hte SiLVA and I must admit that the waitress taking care of me did an amazing job. She was jovial, friendly, and professional at the same time. Perfect service! I went for […]
A unique dining experience based on fire and smoke at the Chef’s Table: Restaurant Humo (23. October 2025)
I was not quite sure what to expect, but when you enter the Humo and are led downstairs to the private room, then you’re definitely in a for a treat. There are four waiters and two chefs attending you – and we were only a group of eight, so, it’s a rather nice and exclusive […]
A last-minute pick, but definitely one to visit again: Restaurant Scully (22. October 2025)
We were hungry after the event and decided last minute to go for dinner. Since we were a group of five, and we decided to get all the snacks on the menu and order each of us a different starter to make sure we were able to try as much as possible. The first load […]
A swift lunch is definitely an option @ W Lounge @ W Hotel London (22. October 2025)
Given I’ve had only a few minutes for lunch, I was lucky enough that the place wasn’t packed for lunch and that the staff were rather quick. I ordered the “chicken tenders (buttermilk dip)” (GBP 16.50), which were served within less than 10 minutes, which was great. That being said, I had a bit of […]
