Resto 24 Saki, Crouch End
Eeels are good, eels are good their bloody eels are good.
Resto 22 Dragon, Crouch End
A Chinese restaurant isn't the traditional venue for a Good Friday dinner I guess but if you're in the grip of the perma-hang it's good option.
Restaurant 19 Galette Café, Paris
We wanted a quick lunch on the way to the Louvre and galettes (or Breton pancakes) seemed a good option.
Resto 18 Goppa’s, Hackney

Review #8 Mub’Art, Ghent

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. Mub’Art, however,…
Resto #4 Quê Mę
A full room on an early Saturday evening (in contrast to La Porchetta a couple of doors along) showed that Quê Me has successfully cracked the price/quality equation for this stretch of restos, where the competition is fierce.
