Resto 30 Rusty Bike Indian Kitchen, Kings Cross
A waiter with personality, a BYOB policy and excellent food make The Rusty Bike the number one option for Indian in Kings Cross. Oh, and see the Pablo Held Trio if you can.
Resto 27 Machiya, Leicester Square
Perfect Katsu makes Machiya the go to Japanese in the West End for lunch and better value than Shoryu around the corner. No wonder people queue out the door to get in.
Musset update!

Resto 24 Dear Pizza, Highbury
Resto 24 #dearpizza, #Highbury An excellent awning makes al fresco dining in the heat tolerable. Good #pizza and friendly service are a hit. As is the #estorick show of #campari related material. A perfect one-two in #Islington. #food #london
Resto 23 Firebrand Pizza, Lisson Grove
in Lisson Grove for a rather underwhelming production of Medea we wanted quick eats out of the sun. Firebrand Pizza looked a good bet. It’s a shady room with a big window to watch the folks of the Grove go by. The menu is standard pizza and starters so went for a platter of meat…
Resto 22 Viet Eat, Holborn
A condescending waiter and underwhelming food. Not a great combination.

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.
The Crouch End Festival and Alfred de Musset
A fun part of the production has been assembling props - a 40s Woodbine astray, an old-fashioned bottle of scotch, a cigarette case and a whiff of 40s in the costume of the characters. And the cast - Anna Rogers, Matt Griffin and Ruari Johnson - have been extraordinarily successful at bringing Musset's characters to life in a faux-Fitzrovian setting.
Resto 17 Khoai Café, Crouch End
Where Kho went wrong Khoai goes right - keep it simple on service and dish up the good stuff.
