Mr.N had a meeting in Mayfair. We hardly venture out in Mayfair, in fact, since I started working at my current firm we only seem to go out around Soho. Our plan was to meet after work and head somewhere nice for a few drinks. I booked Mr.Foggs’ Residence but they only had a table at…

The Crazy Bear, Fitzrovia, London: Ultra trendy Thai
I think I have said this before, but our friends and family are obsessed with giving Mr.N and I restaurant gift cards and experiences. I’m actually shocked that we both aren’t obese already. I’m not going to lie though, I have put on a tiny bit of “love” weight since the wedding. It’s actually got to…
Dehesa, London: Spain meets Soho
I had become well acquainted with Mr.R, an accountant who I had worked with some while ago, and as it turns out, he loves my blog! Our conversations are often based around food, and he is as critical, if not more than I am about his food. We decided to meet after work to explore…
The Rum Kitchen, London: Jerk Chicken and Caribbean Cocktail Central
We all have one of those weeks occasionally where we literally find ourselves counting down the hours and seconds until Friday. Last week was that week for me. Mr.N, being the romantic soul that he is, decided meet me for dinner after work to cheer me up. He took it upon himself to book The…
Blacklock, London: Chop notch grub
First and foremost, please accept my apologies for how long it has taken me to post a new blog, guys! Mr.N has been complaining about the amount of time I’ve kept him in hibernation! Truth is that we were really busy with moving into our new place and on top of that I landed myself…
MeatLIQUOR N1, London: Winging it?
MeatLIQUOR has been on my ‘must go to’ list for a while. I’m a junkie, there, I said it. No, not in the dodgy drug abusing sense but in the sense that I have an unhealthily frequent desire to binge on junk food. I love burgers, I love chicken wings, I love cheesy fries- I just love…
XO, London: Pan-Asian hits the spot
Mr.N and I were feeling in the mood for some dim sum or Japanese but neither of us fancied going all the way into the city. I thought I would ‘Foogle’- this is my term for using Google to hunt down a good and relatively local restaurant. The result was XO. This understated chic Pan-Asian restaurant is hidden…
LIMA Floral, London: Pleasant Peruvian
This was another birthday treat. I asked for non-stuffy, non-pretentious and I got exactly that in the form of LIMA Floral. This is the sister restaurant of the Michelin starred LIMA London in Fitzrovia. Naturally, I was wondering what this younger sibling had in store for us. The restaurant itself has a tranquil and relaxed…
Top annoying restaurant behaviours
First off, I am sorry for not posting anything in a while. We’ve just recently bought a new place and between waiting for sofa deliveries and catching up on season 4 of Suits, I have had no time to dedicate to a meaningful blog! I have, however, been thinking a lot about my general experiences at restaurants…
Salt Yard, London: Finest tapas inspired from Spain & Italy
I told Mr.N that I wanted to go somewhere fun and cool for my birthday. We always go to all these “posh nosh” restaurants for celebrations and yes, it’s lovely but we are almost always the youngest diners in the room and I just fancied something trendy and contemporary. The Salt Yard Group boasts four…
The Waterside Inn, Bray: 3 Michelin stars for 30 years, perfect for Mr.N’s 30th treat
Mr.N wasn’t too delighted at the prospect of turning 30 as you can imagine. To quote “I feel like I haven’t achieved as much as I had hoped for by 30”. Well that’s just bloody charming! In my head I was thinking errrr hello, you achieved me! In any case, I knew I had to…
Hunan, London: The Emperor strikes back at this Chinese tapas hidden gem
Our very close family friends, Mr.A and Mrs.K, decided to arrange dinner with us in the lead up to Mr.N’s 30th birthday celebrations and trusted restaurant guru, Mrs.K had something unusual in mind. I recall receiving a text from Mr.A a few days before the meal: “recommending any restaurant to you incites fear in me after…
