Resto 27 Indian YMCA, Fitzrovia
At just over a tenner this was a gut-busting feast of flavour that powered through to the end of the evening's Prom of RVW. Definitely one to which to go back to.
Resto 26 La Patagonia, Camden
Credit to the guy on the grill who we could see toiling away at the back of the room - he did the beef to perfection.
Resto 25 Pepito, Kings Cross
Having forgotten to take a picture of Bar Pepito a search for images for 'Pepito' brought back savage memories of childhood boredom watching mystifying variety acts on Saturday night television when I stumbled across Pepito Alvarez, juggling superstar.
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.
Resto 5 Viet Ngon, Stroud Green
Good quality Vietnamese eats and a pleasant surprise on the beer front.
Resto 4 The Wooden Fender, Ardleigh
On the back of a battering at the hands of Ardleigh we repaired to the local pub for a chat with the opposition and some grub. Roast salmon was very good with plenty of spuds but a slight paucity of veg. Not quite up to the Swan’s standards but still good value for money. 7/10
Resto 3 The Swan, Westerfield
The first day of a cricket tour with golf behind me and five days of the red ball ahead I came to our digs’ local hungered and thirsty. Thirst was taken care of by a pint of Adnam’s best while on the eating side of things there was a good range of standard pub fare…
Resto 2 Spice Merchants, Southsea
If you want to celebrate ‘Freedom Day’ there’s probably nowhere better to be than Pompey. The islanders are a liberty loving people and any Covid related caution was greeted with a sceptical eye bordering on ridicule. You can walk through centuries of history and centuries of architecture in a journey from The George (one of…
Resto 2 JUMAK39, Panton Street
Finally somewhere new to review and it’s a good one. Panton Street, blessed with Asian food, is where you’ll also find the Japan Centre, Kanada-Ya and Yori. But we sought novelty so we gave JUMAK39 (yes, it’s all in capitals) a go. At the door we were asked if we wanted buffet or casual. Casual…
