curating memorable experiences around the world
When it comes to Asian food, I really can't resist. From Chinese to Thai and Vietnamese, I'll devour it all. So when Robata opened up on Old Compton Street, I seized the opportunity for a review. Low-key exteriors gave way to an open kitchen, where the robata grill rested in prime position. Sat closest [...]
Fusion food; gorgeous interiors; quirky concepts... you can't bat an eyelid without a restaurant popping up that boats at least one of these attributes. But all three? That's where Angelina comes in. This Dalston restaurant centres on Japanese cuisine with Italian ingredients and I had to get a taste. Underestimating just how stunning this east [...]
When you think West African food, there's one place that comes to mind; Ikoyi. Showcasing the flavours of countries including Nigeria and Benin, the Michelin-starred restaurant had been top of my list for a while. Being half Nigerian, I was really interested to see how the St James's spot would execute its take on my childhood [...]
Is it just me, or has London gone full-on floral this spring? From iconic members clubs sporting flowery fronts to wisteria hysteria spreading across Instagram like wildfire and a whole host of botanical-led gin pop-ups, we can't get enough. One central London spot that's marking sakura season is P.F. Chang's Asian Table and I was [...]
If taking over Mayfair with his Michelin-worthy menus and stunning interiors wasn't enough, OIllie Dabbous is heading to Chelsea this month and I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of his latest pop-up. Located in Belgravia, Chelsea Barracks Kitchen by Ollie Dabbous is opening exclusively for the Chelsea Flower Show (21-26 May 2019) and [...]
Burgers smothered in gravy? Fried loaded with bacon? Wings topped with all kinds of sauce? Junk food is bigger and better than ever. Leading the way in the cheat day charge is Burger & Beyond so I had to get down to their first ever restaurant to check it out. Moving away from their humble street [...]
In case you haven't realised by now, Asian food is my absolute fave. From noodles to dim sum and BBQ, there's nothing that I won't touch. So with it being Chinese New Year, I just had to hit up Yauatcha Soho for their 8-course feast. It is Year of the pig, after all... This was my [...]
Haven't heard of Kalifornia Kitchen? Have you been living under a rock? ICYMI, the pink-hued vegan restaurant opened up in Fitzrovia back in November and has been something of a staple on Instagram feeds ever since. So naturally, I had to grab my veggie mate and get my ass down to see what all the fuss [...]
You may have noticed that it's been a while since I've had a cocktail-fuelled night out. A lack of funds, shitty weather and generally not being able to handle a bottle of fizz like I could pre-NYE has meant that January has been far drier than I'd like. Luckily for me, Mr Fogg's came to [...]
Oh, January. I feel like I'm approximately 19483 days into this month and it just won't end. December was a glorious month filled with so much boozing, Netflix binging and a little too much spending. Take me back. It's been a slow start to the year, cutting back on the drinking (a little) and trying [...]
