Eat Like A Londoner
-
The Barbary, Covent Garden
Being labelled ‘the best restaurant in London’ gives The Barbary in Neal’s Yard a lot to live up to. The little sister of established London eatery The Palomar, the restaurant takes its inspiration from the Barbary coast. Good thing the food is amazing then…read my review on Weekend Notes here

The Woodin’s Shades, Bishopsgate
Last week I took part in a charity run for World Aids Day, which was exhilarating and rewarding. I’m not a runner so to even do something like this is a big deal for me. I’m a believer in rewarding yourself after you’ve exerted yourself, so I visited a pub in Liverpool Street to refuel afterwards. You can read my review of the pub here.

Eat With A Friend Day
Today is Eat With A Friend Day! To honour this special occasion, this is exactly what I did. On our way to the light festival at Syon Gardens, my friend and I stopped off at at One Kew Road, Richmond, to have dinner. We both chose the spitroast chicken, drizzled in truffle and garlic sauce, with aliona butter on the side. It was pretty good, but then aliona butter is my favourite, so that’s no surprise!

Birthday Dinner
I haven’t posted on here for a bit, but this is something that’s worth shouting about. For my 30th birthday a few weeks ago, my friend and I visited Cote Brasserie along London’s South Bank. I have a soft spot for French food so this lured me in. We had the chicken drizzled with garlic butter (below). The chicken already tasted gorgeous but the garlic made it extra special! There’s something rather decadent about French food, isn’t there?

Comforting Ramen
I think this was the restaurant’s Soho Ramen. Tonkotsu, Soho. There are lots of branches of Tonkotsu scattered around London. Check out my review of Tonkotsu for Weekend Notes here:

Tempura Prawns
A few weeks ago, I visited Hyper Japan, a festival of all things Japanese, taking place at the O2 arena, Greenwich. One of the great things to do there is experience Japanese cuisine, hence we sampled the above Tempura prawns and noodles.

Time for dessert
I went to a party a few weeks ago, where the desserts were set on fire. It was really spectacular. The Swan Restaurant at the Globe Theatre, London
