Resto 18 Ognisko, South Kensington
Cricket, art, cocktails and music in a pretty much perfect evening out in South Kensington. Oh, and excellent food.
Resto 17 Hanedan, Green Lanes
The monotony of Green Lanes is increased and we have to eat kebab.
Resto 16 Cinnamon Bazaar, Covent Garden
Seriously good Indian food at a reasonable price. And what a wine list!
Resto 10 Gazette, South Ken
And this inspired doggy art of a Mrs PigWoof lying bloody-gutted from a running over (with tennis ball pre-stomach and ready swallowed) on this side of the table, while on the other side there was a more psychedelic beast, multi-coloured and fizzing energy. We
Resto 9 O’Sole Mio, Pimlico
And thanks to the waiter who then also brought us a bonus Limoncello each, which we wolfed down before going on the hunt for more random ancestor-related properties (them) and a comfortable bench in the V&A to prepare for staying awake in the cinema (me).
Resto 8 Umut 2000, Harringay
At 25 quid a head including service (which was excellent) Umut is the best value I've had on Green Lanes recently and well worth considering for a future post-snooker scoffage.
Resto 7 Nep Nep, Lisson Grove
Another weekend another random suburb of London.
Resto 6 East West Pizza, K Town
The service was charm itself and the room just as functional as you'd want from a pit stop pizzeria. Prices showed that K Town has slid nearer to Primrose Hill than it used to be so we retired to the Park Tavern for post-food relaxation and proper north London prices.
Resto 5 Lima, Fitzrovia
For main a pancetta lump (it was more elegantly described on the menu) was a thing of wonder - three sticky boulders of pig in a fiercely hot sauce with plenty of veg alongside.
Resto 4 Zizzi, St Paul’s
Would I go back? Probably not. Would I recommend it for a good, quick, cheap-ish meal if you're in the area. Possibly, it's got to be better than Café Rouge.
