Resto 19 ZappZaa, Hornsey
No beer and Michael Bolton does not a happy diner make.
Resto 18 Sublime Pizzeria, Woodberry Down
I'd go back to Sublime if I was hungry and in the neighbourhood but for this money there's better Italian action to be had by the half dozen around Stroud Green.
Resto 17 The French House, Soho
er dining in the great barn of Hawksmoor Regent Street on Sunday, whose excellence of cooking and service is slight undermined for me by the feeling of being on an enormous conveyor belt of wallet bulging customers, it was a real joy to dine in a small room with committed staff turning out excellent food.
Music in London (yay!)

Resto 15 Mildred’s, Soho
Mildred's is the best vegan food I've had in a long time. I suspect it won't be 6 years before I'm back this time.

Resto 13 The Delaunay, Aldwych
It almost brought a tear to the eye to be among a happy crowd of diners in one of the best rooms in London.

Resto 11 Nazuki Garden, Warren Street
I now found that darts makes me hungry so we headed northwards in search of curry. But it being Monday a lot of places were shut (I'm guessing some of them were also just shut full stop) so by the time we were nearly at Warren Street James pointed out that the best restaurant when you were hungry was the one you were eating food in.++++ Wise advice and we chose to eat at Nazuki Garden based on its being the restaurant we could see when we had that discussion.
