Resto 6 East West Pizza, K Town

The service was charm itself and the room just as functional as you'd want from a pit stop pizzeria. Prices showed that K Town has slid nearer to Primrose Hill than it used to be so we retired to the Park Tavern for post-food relaxation and proper north London prices.

Resto 5 Lima, Fitzrovia

Resto 4 Zizzi, St Paul’s

Would I go back? Probably not. Would I recommend it for a good, quick, cheap-ish meal if you're in the area. Possibly, it's got to be better than Café Rouge.

Resto 33 Papa L’s Kitchen, St James’s

It's a real plus to have somewhere a bit different in this part of town.

Resto 32 Tonkotsu, Finsbury Park

We were on the way to see The Banshees of Inishfree at the pictures in the new (-ish) development in Finsbury Park and with one of us doing Japanese lessons Tonkotsu seems to be a logical manoeuvre. Trade wasn’t brisk on a Saturday teatime but the welcome was friendly and we got a table near…
