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 14 The Darlington Road Diner, Ferryhill
Back to the (second) homeland for a night out with friends I could have chosen a better night than a Monday in January to check out the food scene in Ferryhill. Romana’s was shut for renovation, while the other Italian restaurant was just shut shut. And I was informed by the hotel manager that The…
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 12 Santoré, Exmouth Market
It feels like a long time ago that we went to Santoré so my failing memory means that this post will be brief. After a festive jar in the excellent Shakespeare’s Head we were back to Exmouth Market for nosh. Indian not being to my wife’s taste we compromised with Italian. Santoré does the standard…
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.
Resto 10 Cinnamon Tree, Islington
I was brained out and hungersome.
Resto 9 The Gannet, Glasgow
Antwerp being off the agenda for a festive weekend away with friends our destination was re-adjusted to Glasgow where we planned to mix sophistication and boozification in equal measure, sometimes at the same time.
Resto 8 Osteria dell’Agnolo
Improbably in Florence for a conference dedicated to Marivaux studies I was with my fellow delegates in search of a good, cheap place to eat. Fortunately we had Italians among our number and we managed to squeeze into a table at Osteria dell’Agnolo. Its location so close to the Duomo rang alarm bells with me…
Resto 7 Bali Bali, Shaftesbury Avenue
I’ve had my eye on Bali Bali for a while as being that lonely beast, an Indonesian restaurant in London. With Britain’s colonial history skewing South East Asian food towards Malaysia (though I now realise that I haven’t been to a Malaysian place in these posts) the only previous occasion I’ve gone for Indonesian was…
Resto 6 Selale, Green Lanes
All in all as good as any similar establishment in the area while having a little more of a feel of a proper night out than some.
