I went to this restaurant nearly two months ago, it had been so long ago now, that even the menus have completely changed on their official website. Situated in St John’s Wood, One Blenheim Terrace is local for me – it’s 10 minutes on the…
2016 UPDATE: My review of the new Pitt Cue co in Devonshire Square is here. Yay, I finally ate at Pitt Cue. It is impossible for you to not have heard about this enormously successful BBQ sensation. It has certainly been the most talked about…
After taking time out to launch his immaculately designed Polpo cookbook, Russell Norman (and Richard Beatty) are back to open the third arm of Polpo, the first outside of Soho and their sixth opening overall. I went along to a preview last Friday – I…
For my birthday this year, I was looking to drink something a little special and so BBR became an obvious choice for it carries a list of classy old world (and very collectible) wine labels but with modest mark-ups. Prices track closely to the market…
Today I will recount the Legend of Young Turks & The Clove Club. The story of how a group of gifted palate thrillers had joined forces in their relative youth to dazzle the masses. There is already so much written about their food, their previous…
I am indebted to Josh Katz for sending me to this (relatively) new Middle Eastern diner opened by ex-Ottolenghi/Nopi chefs. Josh is now officially the former head chef at the excellent Made in Camden. While I’m a little saddened that I can no longer eat…

This will be brief as I do realise there is little value in writing up a two day special. As I’ve never eaten at any of Chang’s famous New York restaurants (yes, how embarrassing), this presented an opportunity to try his food. We were hoping…
The austere profile and procurement gimmick should – on paper – make 10 Cases an instant hit which is keeping with current trends. But in reality, this restaurant is so deliberately lacking that the end result is nearly banal. Styled as a British Bistrot, it…
I have been heavily anticipating the opening of 28-50’s new site in Marylebone Lane, by sommelier Xavier Rousset and chef Agnar Sverrisson of perennial Icelandic bib winner Texture fame, which has now turned into a fairly successful, well executed wine-bistro. Compared to the original Fetter…
The original Phil Howard protege, Adam Byatt may have had his ups and downs through the years, but things certainly look like they are up and up in 2012. Trinity has turned into a well-oiled machine for six or so years since it opened, gathering…
“..surrounded by the greatest wines of the world..” The dining room is relatively small and is intimidating as it is posh, as the website’s official photographs suggest. Built around the ‘wine salon’, the restaurant’s private room takes up to 8 people and is encased by…
