I blogged about Chicama nearly a year ago (you can read about it here). But they have recently launched their new lunch menu so I thought it was time for a revisit. We visited Chicama at Monday lunchtime, so it was nicely quiet and we were seated straightaway. From the Starters Section, the first dish…

London Food Review : Sunday Roast, Hawksmoor
I think I have found it! The best Sunday Roast in London. In a city inundated with gastropubs, it is a steak restaurant that takes the cake (or meat, should I say) for me in terms of putting together an exceptional Sunday Roast. We have been to Hawksmoor before, but this was our first time…
London Food Review: The Listing
The Listing is a stylish city bar and restaurant by Drake and Morgan. Even if you didn’t know that, you can probably guess it from the similarities in the menu to another Drake and Morgan restaurant we visited recently, The Allegory. You can read all about that one here. On a Wednesday evening, the place…
London Food Review : Fiume
Is it me or are London restaurants really pushing the boat out with Italian food? Fiume (Italian for river) is the latest offering from Chef Francesco Mazzei (Sartoria and Radici fame). This newbie, in collaboration with D&D London group, is located in the shiny new development of Battersea Power Station’s Circus West Village. The spacious…
Tasting menu with Laurent Perrier & Les 110 de Taillevent
My last week started on a spectacularly gastronomic note when I won a competition to a special one-off Taste of London Tasting Evening in collaboration with Laurent Perrier. The venue was the stunning Les 110 de Taillevent, a French restaurant in Marylebone. I joined a group of other competition winners for a glamorous evening of…
London Food Review : The White Swan
We recently visited The White Swan for the launch of their new menu. Located in the City of London, they have completely refurbished the first floor dining room, resulting in a stylish and slick city-style boozer. I especially liked the use of mirrored ceilings which was a clever way to create an illusion of double…
London Food : Xu
It is very rare that one finds a restaurant where everything on the menu is so faultless that you beg for a flaw. But XU is a one such gastronomic wonderland. Not so much a hidden gem but more like a sparkling, dazzling gem of the highest order which astounds you with every dish it…
Hotel Review : The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne
Kris and I recently whisked ourselves away for a long weekend in Eastbourne. Nothing quite relaxes us more than the sight and smell of fresh sea air. Coupled with a relatively fuss free journey (just over an hour from Clapham Junction) and off-season prices, it was an ideal getaway destination. What exceeded our expectations was…
London Review : The Allegory
Drake and Morgan own some of my favourite bars and restaurants in London. So the news of the launch of their newest baby The Allegory was met with squeals of delight. Within a week of their opening, Kris and I were there to check the place out. Located within the shiny development of Principal Place…
