Kua 'Aina, my new favourite place

Kua ‘Aina, my new favourite place

If it’s good enough for Obama, it’s good enough for me. Ok, not really, but his endorsement of Kua 'Aina, the Hawaiian sandwich joint near Carnaby Street, helps. It was really the sell of fresh, char-grilled seafood and meat in toasted, made to order sandwiches that tickled my interest in Kua 'A

Where I've been eating lately...

Where I’ve been eating lately…

As usual, I’ve been spending most of my time either eating out or working out. It’s all about balance and I’d say I’ve gotten pretty good at doing exactly half and half. Luckily for you, this post is about the eating rather than the training. I have hit some pretty great places in the last c

Polpetto: my new favourite place.

Polpetto: my new favourite place.

People always ask me what my favourite restaurant in London is, and although it changes every now and then as I eat out a few times a week, at the moment it is definitely Polpetto. The reasons why are simple: it has a cosy, vibrant atmosphere with relaxed but great service, the food - Italian/Americ

Fin & Flounder at Broadway Market

I just had to share this because Fin and Flounder has a new(ish) stall at Broadway Market. They are a local fishmonger in East London (their shop is also located in Broadway Market to be exact) selling high quality, fresh fish sourced from sustainable boats. Their new stall has a range of delicio

Bar Pilar: Valencia, España

Bar Pilar: Valencia, España

Bar Pilar: The restaurant that changed my mind about mayonnaise. To say that I was excited to go to Valencia would be the understatement of the century. Not only does it have a humongous white beach, Valencia is the “birthplace” of paella. I was looking forward to eating seafood paella for ju

Franzè & Evans: my new favourite place

Franzè & Evans has been around for two years (coincidentally, this weekend is its official second birthday) but I have only realized how fabulous it is in the last six months. I’m a sucker for a place with great salads and delicious coffee, but Franzè & Evans is so much more than that.

yuforia Frozen Yoghurt Co (my new favourite place)

It’s summer, it’s hot, and there is no freaking air-conditioning in this city. Which can only mean one thing: I am craving frozen yoghurt every single day after lunch. I’ve always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with frozen yoghurt (the American kind, anyway). In the U.S. it was TCBY (Th

A diamond in the rough: The Hackney Pearl (my new favourite place)

Ok, so it’s not easy to get to and may not be worth the trip if you’re living in West London (why are you living in West London, anyway?), but The Hackney Pearl is charming, very-chilled out, inexpensive, and great for East-end locals looking for tasty homemade food and delicious cocktails on Su

My new favourite place

"This is my new favourite place." That statement comes out of my mouth about two or three times a month. I'm a bit dramatic, easily exciteable and generally get bored pretty easily. Hence why I proclaim every other week when in a new restaurant (or being introduced to a new menu from an old restaura
