    Tapas at Salvador and Amanda

    3 February 2019 /

    Salvador and Amanda is a beautiful and authentic Spanish restaurant, located in London’s Leicester Square. Although it’s been there for around 15 years, I wasn’t actually aware of it until my team held our Christmas party there last month. The restaurant boasts a surrealist art- deco interior, in which patrons are encased in curtained- off sections. We had the Christmas menu, which is a selection of the normal menu, but I’m pretty sure the standard menu is just as tasty. It was some of the best tapas I had eaten outside of Spain.

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

    28 October 2018 /

    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?

    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.
