Places I’ve ticked off
Gelupo — yum yum, ice cream at 10pm! Blog post to come…
Yauatcha — dim sum in the coolest soho basement
Maze — I’m in awe of the chef’s menu (less in awe of the salt hangover)
Tiny Robot — The most beautiful pasta I’ve ever seen, and this girl’s half Italian.
Inamo – Touch-screen tables and melting pork belly. Novel, for sure. Battleships, anyone?
Brixton Village – My local haunt, especially Lab G, Honest and Brick Box.
Spuntino – too cool. too good. Get in early.
Ducksoup – cute but pokey. Interesting extremes – from fois gras and scallops to peasant-style braised ox cheeks. Much more for your money with the latter but all three sublime.
