Casa Tua review: Eating my way though London
Casa Tua is a hidden gem just a short walk from Camden Town. This charming restaurant exudes an authentic Italian ambiance and looks inviting from the outside. Established in Camden in August 2013, Casa Tua brings genuine Italian cuisine to Londoners, offering a cosy atmosphere. This is such a homely place- apparently the idea of the restaurant was to make people feel like they were visiting someone’s dining room and this restaurant achieves that. The service was pretty good and friendly. Tables were small so it was difficult to fit everything on. However, understandably there was limited space. Due to size, Casa Tua would be excellent if you were looking…

A Whimsical Journey: Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea at the Sanderson Hotel
Down the Rabbit Hole: Introducing an Alice-Inspired Tea Party Imagine stepping into a world where teacups talk, rabbits wear waistcoats, and your afternoon tea is served with a generous helping of magic. This is exactly what I encountered at the Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea, where Lewis Carroll’s beloved tale comes to life in the most delicious way possible! For a friend’s birthday treat, we decided to do something special and booked ourselves into the Sanderson Hotel for their whimsical Alice in Wonderland-themed afternoon tea. The Setting: A Mad Tea Party As we entered the outdoor courtyard, we found ourselves transported to the whimsical world of Wonderland. Well kind of transported-…

49 Cafe- Eat Like A Londoner
49 Cafe is my go-to place for lunch when working in London. It’s not too much to look at from the outside- but go inside! They serve big tubs of pasta and paella for £7.50. This place is popular with locals and the working crowd, so there is often a queue when visiting. Nevertheless it is worth the wait as the food is amazing and really filling. It is also pleasant to eat whilst sitting in one of the many parks around Bloomsbury. 49 Cafe, 49 Marchmont St, London WC1N 1AP

Bill’s in Victoria: A Review
Bill’s in Victoria is in an excellent location, with great views of Westminster Cathedral and the surrounding area. The decor is gorgeous- green velvets and soft leather seating, with the homely clutter that Bill’s is known for. My top tip would be to book in advance- I went on a Sunday lunchtime and it was very busy, so I can only imagine would it would be like on a Friday or Saturday evening. You can book easily through their website. What to eat? I had the chicken shawarma- it was really filling and made me feel like I was eating the rainbow! Simple but tasty. I liked the fact that…

Mexican food in London Bridge at Santo Remedio
I’m a big fan of Mexican food. For a long time, I have named Santo Remedio as my favourite Mexican place for Mexican food in London. I even wrote a blog post back in 2019, extolling its virtues (you can find it here if you want to check it out). And then I came across El Pastor and my favourite restaurant had some strong competition. I really wanted to go back to Santo Remedio and try it again. And then I got my chance- in January, we spent a few hours at Winter Lights in Canary Wharf (which is worth visiting if you ever get the chance to go), however the…
