Lima Floral is a contemporary Peruvian restaurant in Covent Garden. We adore Peruvian cuisine – Chotto Matte and Pachamama are two of our favourite restaurants – but Lima Fitzrovia, Lima’s Floral’s sister restaurant, was relegated to my solo excursion list because the menu doesn’t have much on offer for Shiima (doesn’t eat pork and only…

Red Farm London Review
Red Farm in Covent Garden is the London outpost of the trendy New York Chinese restaurant. We’ve never been to either of Red Farm’s New York Restaurants, but Red Farm London is loud, confident, and casually stylish just as you’d expect in a trendy New York restaurant. We first became aware of Red Farm London…

Cinnamon Bazaar Review
Cinnamon Bazaar is a vibrant modern Indian restaurant in Covent Garden. Cinnamon Bazaar is part of the Cinnamon Collection, which is a group of splendid Indian restaurants around London.

Cantina Laredo Review
Cantina Laredo is a vibrant Mexican restaurant in Covent Garden. Cantina Laredo is huge, so forgive our video below which couldn’t take in the entirety of the restaurant from where we sat. The décor and the vibe of the restaurant is modern; and we really enjoyed the contemporary Mexican music. We dined on a Saturday…
Sushi Samba – Covent Garden
Sushi Samba (Liverpool Street) is one of our favourites and we were super excited to see it had opened one in Covent Garden. Amen had booked it for a few weeks ago but we had to keep rescheduling because of my changing schedule. Sushi Samba works perfectly for us, Amen loves the sushi and I…
Clos Maggiore Review
Clos Maggiore is a contemporary French restaurant in Covent Garden that was voted the most romantic restaurant in the world in 2016 and the most romantic restaurant in London many times. I imagine your first question is, “really? is it?” I’ll get to that 😊. Shiima found Clos Maggiore and she was really excited to…
Talli Joe Review
Talli Joe is an Indian restaurant in Covent Garden that claims to be best Indian restaurant in London. We love Indian food so we were tremendously excited to eat at Talli Joe. You can’t reserve a table of 2, so we rushed over soon as Shiima was done at work. Talli Joe has a very…
Frenchie Covent Garden Review
Frenchie is an elegant French restaurant in Covent Garden that’s classed as a “modern Brasserie”. Inexplicably, Shiima and I had never tried French cuisine, so were very excited about Frenchie Covent Garden, especially because the menu has a lot of intriguing dishes and the Frenchie restaurant group comes with much renown. Frenchie Covent Garden is…
Solo Excursion – Barrafina Drury Lane
So today, after my day was done, I suddenly decided to take a quick detour to Barrafina Drury Lane, which is in Covent Garden, and oh am I so pleased with myself. So much that I’m writing this post on my iPhone while still sat at Barrafina waiting for my last dish. If you want…
First Impressions – Flesh & Buns
Flesh & Buns is one of the offshoot restaurants of Bone Daddies, which initially started as a Ramen Bar and has now flourished into a bona fide London staple with several restaurants across (mostly central, to be fair) London. They focus on Japanese cuisine, but less sushi and more indulgent and somewhat innovative Japanese dishes…
