at .restaurant aka your new favourite BRUNCH spot, where the KHACHAPURI (Georgian cheese bread) is so soft, you could sleep on it and it’s chilled af.

I love this place and rate it as one of my favourites in London. Consistently good, menu is always changing and on point and the cocktails and wine are always excellent.

If you’re looking for a Bank Holiday BRUNCH, you found it but while we’re at it…










are my frequents.

at for their signature STEAK AND CHIPS at what was their last day and streetfood traders in their current format.

Twas a sad day…even sadder than Maguire not making the England squad. Yea that sad.

I first met Alex over 10 years ago when he democratised the Steak and Chips, serving quality British Bavette steak, cooked over coal on a , on top of freshly fried triple-cooked chips, which ranked as some of the best anywhere, with homemade sauces that could’ve been a highlight on their own.

It’s pretty well documented how hard hospitality is at the moment, with operators being pressured from all angles, and Beefsteaks was not immune to this so Alex made the decision to pack it up after, impressively, paying back his COVID loan. Yes it took over 6 years to run that sucker down.

It really sucks for all of us that the places we love are disappearing and I’m sure you’ve also got your own stories. If so, please share them or feel free to give them some love in the comments.

But also, go to them and even if you don’t buy anything, just say hi and have a chat - I’m always surprised by how generous operators are with their time and how open the conversations are. It’s cathartic if nothing else.

So with that in mind, and this insane weather, if you’re looking for a STREETFOOD MARKET this weekend, while we’re at it…














and of course, my second home, .

Oh and if you want a piece of Alex is still doing private catering.

at my local hero for MUTTONLESS ROLLS, fresh HOPPERS and their brand new seasonal menu that’s fitter than that friend who does Hyrox and won’t shut up about it.

Putting you on notice now but my manor, EAST DULWICH, is turning into a little underrated foodie hub more people need to be talking about cos while we’re at it…

has just dropped and is a killer gastropub
does some of the best chicken in London
sensational Indian
Thai Corner has more awards for their Thai food than they have window space for
is still serving big boy burgers
are smashing the NY slice game
do the most delicious empanadas
is a primo wine bar
is one of the best bakeries in the UK

and then you add to the mix the cute cafes like and you’ve got a high street that rivals any.

Big up ED. Prove me wrong.

at the brand new .pasta in the City where the CARBONARA RAVIOLO with crispy guanciale plays the part of Sarah Jessica Parker and I’ll be honest, I’m very ok with that.

This spot is lit and the City has just become a much more delicious place for it. This is just the taster though - full reel incoming.

Bravo .

at destroying a BEEF SHORT RIB BIRIYANI like my third girlfriend destroyed my self confidence and no Katherine, you’re still not forgiven.

Well…she might be if she brought this dish…or me to Hoppers to be fair.

I’ve been a big fan of ever since and opened their first one in Soho and they’ve only gone from strength to strength as they expanded into Marylebone, Kings Cross and now the vibey Shoreditch.

Each location has a different vibe, energy and some menu items and this one at Shoreditch is a winner.

Big addition to the area and a lovely spot for a date night with .

But limited it is so don’t be a fool. Get on it!

at .london where hero chefs and have joined forces like something out of a Marvel movie to relaunch one of London’s OG Mexican restaurants and Notting Hill institutions with a new identity and an entirely new menu, including an incredible taco-style riff on the FAMOUS .feel.dove CHEESEBURGER!

at dropping into the brand new where the food is classy like the dining room it’s served in.

This place is special gang; with a history dating back to 1863, it was once the immensely popular Whiteley’s Department Store, which closed its doors for the last time in December 2018. But the guys have taken over the site and turned it into this immense multi space spa, gym, hotel, restaurant, cafe, private members club that’s so impressive, it makes Adolescence’s performance at the BAFTAS look embarrassing.

Worthy of a trip, even if it’s just to see that iconic staircase. Big ups and !

at where the BEEF SHORT RIB KHAO SOI maybe be the showstopper but it’s the MUTTON FRIES that are the main event - like Malta at Eurovision. It’s always Malta.

Big us to for staying true to the craft and keeping them flavours punchy.

A top addition to London’s growing THAI restaurant lineup that numbers many so while we’re at it…
