  • Tortilla Restaurant Review

    Tuesday December 20th, 2011

    Mexican doesn't have to mean burritos and tacos like everywhere else - sometimes it can be pretty good. We tried out one of the flourishing Tortilla restaurants springing up across London quicker than Speedy Gonzales. Ariba!

  • Potli

    The absolute star of Potli’s show is the starter Chicken 65, tender poultry in a pungent ginger and pepper batter, like an excellent and healthy KFC. We couldn’t get enough. We also had tawa machi – tilapia fish steaks marinated in ginger, garlic and mustard which were good but we’d have liked more mustard.

    There are plenty of options at Bratwurst with meal deals of sausages, as well as frikadelle and schnitzels too. With all the hype around street food, mostly stuff from the Far East, it’s worth remembering that closer to home we have a centuries old street food that is none the wurst for being eaten indoors either. Prost!

  • Chop'd at Boxpark

    Friday December 2nd, 2011

    The site of the new Boxpark ‘pop up’ shopping mall smells of freshly sawn wood and recently applied paint. But it’s a good smell. New, exciting and full of potential. And while these shops don’t have any windows, they do have a positive recession-bucking outlook selling unusual, interesting things and offering some food outlets too. We try Chop'd

  • Eight-Six Restaurant

    Following the success of their Club Coco in Verbier, co-owner Charlie Kearns and George Adams have created a destination that's fun but not frivolous, which is probably just as well for anyone with a finely tuned appetite.
