Review #92 Barrica, Fitzrovia
No Dickie Fitz but chorizo dog dicks in the bustle of Goodge Street. And a gratuitous Ray Wilkins reference.
Review #91 Taste of India, Drummond Street
Coming to review a restaurant when the intervening 48 hours have seen a bacchanalian 60th birthday party and a 6 hour police assisted face off with somebody with mental health issues (not mine (this time at least!)), one could be forgiven for not exactly remembering the details of the cuisine on Friday night.
Review #90 Bonnie Gull, Fitzrovia
There was a smattering of familiar faces in the room but the real star in this restaurant was the food.
Review #89 Shoryu Ramen, Regent St
Shory deliver good food at an affordable price with just enough quirkiness and variety to mark them out from your Wagyermamas or Yos.
Review #88 Wigmore Hall, Marylebone
First class service and well-executed food make for a winning combination in the dungeons of the Wigmore.
Review #87 La Viña, Harringay
The root cause of La Viña's appeal is that it is run by a team who obviously care about what they do.
Zak Ové at Somerset House
A spectacular installation that holds a dialogue with an imperial past and a multi-cultural present.
Review #86 Villa Maria, Amsterdam
Don't let the signage fool you - VM is definitely not Argentinian.
Review #85 De Belhamel, Amsterdam
Into the top 10 dinners of 2016 goes de Belhamel. Canal-side dining with charming service, it made me happy to be alive.
Review #84 De Twee Grieken, Amsterdam
Fancier places are available in Prinsenstraat but DTG is good if you're starving hungry.
