Resto 22 Viet Eat, Holborn
A condescending waiter and underwhelming food. Not a great combination.
Resto 21 Coriandre, Paris
Coriandre is a hit - healthy Indian food delivered by an enthusiastic team.
Resto 20 Au Cadrans du PLM, Paris
Professional waiter, cold beer and massive salad with big lumps of salty goat cheese au Cadran du PMU. Recommended.
Resto 19 Sathees, Paris
The Marché St Germain. It has an Apple store, a Marks and Spencer and an arcade. But it's not Covent Garden. Oh no, there's none of your stick riding Yodas here. Or tedious shouters with flamesticks shoved facewards, gurning for a jaded mob of tourist cretins. This is left-bank Paris and they're too civilised for that crap.
Resto 18 Bufala di Londra
The only way this meal could have been improved was if the restaurant was at the end of my street rather than being on the wrong side of the tracks.
Resto 17 Khoai Café, Crouch End
Where Kho went wrong Khoai goes right - keep it simple on service and dish up the good stuff.
Resto 16 Koh Thai, Southsea
With a chef like this Koh deserves to be a success whatever shenanigans the front of house team were getting up to.
Resto 15 Matthew’s Kitchen, Crouch End
I'd go back to Matthew's Kitchen - for Crouch End on a Friday evening it was very peaceful with a perfect atmosphere for a bright summer's evening.
Resto 13 The Life Goddess Store Street
A gaggle of friendly fellers behind this counter make this the perfect place for authentic Greek cooking in a chilled atmosphere. One of the best so far this year.
Resto 12 National Gallery Dining Rooms
Maybe it's more of a lunchtime joint but it's a good post-exhibition option if you want straight up modern cooking at a good price.
