The Real Greek named UK’s healthiest restaurant, calorie counted greek cuisine, in a freindly environment, great for couples and groups.

They said it wouldn’t catch on, but the emergence of calorie-counted menus in its six London outlets has led to The Real Greek scooping one of the biggest rewards in the industry. This week the group announced it had scooped Healthy Eating Chain of the Year at Restaurant magazine’s R200 2010 awards, beating off stiff competition from Leon and Feng Sushi.

Locale, great food, now with live music

There have been a few changes at Locale in Balham since we were last there, about a year ago. The kitchen is now open, and there is – to A’s great pleasure – a Josper grill. Locale Balham are now featuring five acts on rotation every Thursday and we were there for Katie Verner and Laurence Pendrous. Being a West End performer, Verner’s delivery had a clarity that was very appealing.
