Resto 14 Bill’s, Holborn
Is Kingsway the most functional eating street in London? It has all the chains in a relentlessly mid-range bracket and in the mid-range of the mid-range sits Bill's.
Review #7 A La Mort Subite, Brussels
Like the Café Den Turk À La Mort Subite is the kind of historical location that could, if it chose, go down the route of celebrating its own celebrity by going easy on what made it good in the first place and turn itself into a Belgian theme park. And like the CDN it is…
Review #8 Mub’Art, Ghent
The last of our eating places of a very high quality weekend was the surprise package. To borrow from Rumsfeld (who seems strangely less crazy than once he did, that’s the power of 2016) Mort Subite was a known known, Belga Queen was a known unknown and Den Turk was an unknown known.

Resto #3, The Wharf, South Bank
Good fish at The Wharf on the South Bank plus Vanessa Redgrave getting agitated over a self-inflicted mic problem.
Annie’s Burger Shack – First restaurant of 2017
Good burgers, cracking football.
Restaurants of 2016 – the round up

Review #110 North Sea Fish Restaurant, Bloomsbury
Last night a fish bar saved my life. Well, kind of.
Review #108 Bistro Aix, Crouch End
I can't wait to go back to Bistro Aix in the New Year and take a look at the à la carte - it's a place worth saving for a celebration.
