Friday August 30th, 2013The D & D restaurants are all a bit different in style, but all seem to aim at being somewhere to rely on, whether it’s towards the high end at Cog d’Argent or a little bit touristy like the Butlers Wharf Chop House. Fish Market seems to be swimming right in the middle.

It’s the kind of spending excess that makes dreadlocked white kids put wheelie bins through the windows of banks before heading off to pay £11 for a gourmet burger.

Heliot Steakhouse
Wednesday August 7th, 2013A casino in central London may not seem the most obvious place for a ‘gourmet steakhouse’, but Heliot restaurant and bar, located in the Hippodrome Casino, Leicester Square, has managed to create a balance of food and cocktails with a side of blackjack.
