Hoi Polloi Restaurant Review
Hoi Polloi is an English modern brasserie in Ace Hotel Shoreditch. We had brunch at Hoi Polloi last year and loved it, so were keen on dinner at Hoi Polloi. But, for whatever reason, Hoi Polloi languished on our dinner list, until a very good friend wanted to join us for dinner last weekend. Hoi…
Lima Floral Review
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…
MBER Restaurant Review
MBER is a tapas style Pan-Asian restaurant by Monument Station in the City. We love tapas style restaurants because we can order even more food than usual (which is a lot 😁), and Pan-Asian food includes some our favourite dishes from our favourite cuisines. So we were well excited to dine at MBER. MBER is stylish,…
Robata Soho Review
Robata is a Japanese restaurant in Soho specialising in charcoal cooking on the Robata grill. Soon as I heard about Robata Soho I was in, and so was Shiima when I showed her the menu because it has a bunch of her favourite Japanese dishes and many more intriguing options. We were sat at the…
Bao Borough Review
Bao Borough is the newest restaurant from Bao, an exquisite tapas style Taiwanese restaurant known for their delicious steamed buns. We love Bao, the restaurant and the steamed buns, and have dined at Bao Fitzrovia approaching ten times the past two years. Bao Borough is unique from other Bao restaurants because there is a keen…
Cornerstone Hackney Review
Cornerstone is an elegant restaurant in Hackney Wick focused on creative yet simple seafood dishes. Shiima’s started to enjoy seafood, but a seafood-focused restaurant is a stretch for her. I, on the other hand, love seafood so Cornerstone Hackney has been right at the top of my solo excursion list for a while now. Plus,…
Brother Marcus Spitalfields Review
Brother Marcus is an all day small-plates Mediterranean restaurant in Spitalfields. We are big fans of Mediterranean cuisine and absolutely loved our dinner at Barboun last week, so we were quick to reserve a table at another celebrated Mediterranean restaurant. Plus, I love small-plates (tapas style) restaurants. Needless to say, we were very excited about…

Barboun Shoreditch Review
Barboun is a chic Mediterranean restaurant in Shoreditch. I came across Barboun while reading about newly opened restaurants and I was intrigued by the menu. It has a lot of the dishes we’ve enjoyed at other Mediterranean restaurants and many more mouthwatering options. So Barboun moved to the top of our list! First thing you…
Chotto Matte Soho Review 2020
Chotto Matte is an awesome Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurant in the heart of Soho. I very rarely use the word “awesome” and just as rarely begin a review so forthrightly, but we love Chotto Matte. We’ve loved Chotto Matte for years, as you can see in our May 2016 Chotto Matte review (our second ever)….
Aqua Nueva Review
Aqua Nueva is an elegant Spanish tapas restaurant in Soho. Aqua Nueva is the second restaurant Shiima and I went on a date more than six years ago and we haven’t been back since. Mainly because it was an odd experience… Shiima didn’t like anything on the menu. But again, that’s six years ago and…
