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

Bao Borough Review
Bao Borough is the newest restaurant from Bao, an exquisite tapas style Taiwanese restaurant known for their delicious steamed buns.

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,…
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…
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,…
Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay Review
Lucky Cat is Gordon Ramsay’s opulent Pan-Asian Restaurant in Mayfair. Shiima’s a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay, we really enjoyed our dinner at Maze Grill, and we love Pan-Asian cuisine, so Lucky Cat has been near the top of our list since it opened in the Summer Lucky Cat replaced Maze Grill (now closed) in…
Dehesa Restaurant Review
Dehesa is a Spanish and Italian tapas restaurant in Soho. I absolutely love tapas, particularly Spanish tapas and I’ve been on a personal quest to find the best Spanish tapas spot in London. That quest has already taken me to two of Dehesa’s sister restaurants from Salt Yard Group – Ember Yard and Salt Yard…
