Kudu is a cosy family-run South African restaurant in Peckham. I’ve been very keen to visit Kudu for a while now. South African cuisine? Yes, I’m intrigued. Michelin Bib Gourmand award? Oh, absolutely! Shiima wasn’t as keen as I was though, so Kudu stayed in middle of our go to list. Then last week I…

Allegra Restaurant Review
Allegra is an exquisite modern European restaurant on the 7th floor of The Stratford Hotel. Since the Olympics in 2012, a side of Stratford, now called Stratford City, has been well in the process of gentrification. The Stratford is undoubtedly one of the pillars of this process and Allegra is currently the pinnacle. Before I continue,…
Stork Restaurant Review
Stork is an instagram-ready restaurant in the heart of Mayfair that serves a very unique fusion of West African (Nigerian mostly), Eastern European, and modern British cuisine. Enjoy our thoughts, with lots of food pictures.
Smoke & Salt Review
Smoke & Salt is a small plates restaurant in Pop Brixton that uniquely fuses seasonal British ingredients with ancient cooking methods for a creative dining experience. I’ll say this from the start, I’m a friend of Remi Williams, on of the chefs and owners of Smoke & Salt alongside Aaron Webster, and although I believe…
The Modern Pantry Review – First Impressions
The Modern Pantry is an elegant restaurant in Clerkenwell with fuses everyday cooking with modern ingredients. It’s modern European cuisine from a renowned Kiwi chef, so it’s far from the norm. The Modern Pantry is another one of our Taste of London Festival revelations and after looking through their menu at the festival we were…

Duck and Waffle
Shiima and I had our first “date” at Duck and Waffle close to five years ago. Date being in quotes because I’d booked dinner at Duck & Waffle, but she thought it was a tad too highfalutin to be the first place we hung out… she wanted somewhere more casual, so we went for an…
Chiltern Firehouse – First Impressions Review
Chiltern Firehouse comes with an esteemed reputation, mostly because of its clientele and ostentatious aura, which includes difficulty to get a reservation. Shiima and I are cool with all those. Actually, we enjoy it because it makes for a more entertaining experience. But all that quickly becomes a detriment if the food isn’t up to…

First Impressions – StreetXO London
Recently I’ve been letting Amen choose the restaurant without having me look at the menu. On some occasions, he’s done awful but he is getting better lol. I had no idea what StreetXO would be like or what the cuisine is, but I was willing to give it a go. The only thing he told…
Rok Shoreditch – Solo Excursion
ROK HAS SADLY PERMANENTLY CLOSED Rok is a smokehouse that perfectly blends Northern Europe (predominantly Scandinavian) barbeque techniques with British meat. If that description wets your appetite even an inch, you’d enjoy Rok. A good friend of mine told me about Rok Shoreditch last year, couldn’t stop talking about it. I checked the menu, but…
First Impressions – Coppa Club
We haven’t been to any new breakfast/brunch in a while, hence why we haven’t written about any. But I saw a few friends go to Coppa Club on my Instagram and I was intrigued since it looked beautiful in the pictures. I checked the menu out, it looked pretty good so I went ahead and…
