Ribs to live and die for
I think I found the best ribs in London! If you wander away from the touristy section of the Tower Bridge/ Bermondsey area, you will come across The Kings Arms, which offered up a smashing half portion of ribs. Read my review here: https://www.weekendnotes.co.uk/the-kings-arms-bermondsey/

Foodies do the West Coast of Canada
Autumn is my favourite time of the year. I’ve written countless blog posts about it and save my sweater collection all year round, ready for the Autumn months. This year, I started my Autumn off by spending it in the Canadian Rockies. I’ve really wanted to go there for sometime. After a nine hour flight, I arrived in Banff, to be greeted by crisp air and the sights of lush meadows and tall peaks. I’ve visited Canada before, back in 2012, and it is one of my favourite places. That time, I was lucky enough to visit the East Coast and posted a blog about my culinary experience here. An overarching…

Anyone for gyros? Eat like a Greek at Boxpark, Wembley
This gyros from The Athenian at Boxpark Wembley was amazing! Succulent, juicy and gorgeous. Also, today being Halloween gives me the opportunity for the perfect #TBT to a divine Halloween afternoon tea that I had a few years ago. Happy Halloween!

Afternoon Tea at the Kimpton Fitzroy
London and afternoon tea are two of my favourite things, but for some reason, I had never got around to trying afternoon tea in London. My Dutch friend had always expressed an interest in having afternoon tea in England, so with this in mind, I planned a trip. There was quite a bit of competition but the rose garden decor of the Rose Garden afternoon tea in Palm Court at Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel in Bloomsbury enticed me. It also came recommended by colleagues. The whole thing was gorgeous. Everything was beautifully laid-out, with vibrant rose decor. Also, it lived up to it’s name with vividly- coloured cakes in rosy hues. It…

Bill’s Melting Bombe
It’s me. The lesser- spotted me. I’ve been super busy recently with holidays etc. (look out for more info in a forthcoming post!) However, I’m not too busy to share some pics of my recent trip to Bill’s restaurant in Greenwich, in which I continued my mission to find London’s best dessert. Bill’s Melting Bombe is definitely a contender. Creamy caramel, delicious chunks of brownie, chocolate icecream…you can almost taste the calories. But this dessert was worth it. Gloriously decadent, with sauce you can liberally pour all over it, it was divine. And it was very satisfying when I cracked open the dome… That’s honeycomb by the way If Greenwich’s…

Last Night A Vegan Saved My Life
It has been all about the vegan food for me recently. I’m an omnivore but have a soft spot for vegan food. For this reason I found myself drawn to vegan fare- I often say that I prefer vegan burgers to meat ones. I recently visited StrEATfeast at Alexander Palace, where there was a wide selection of foods to choose from. Somehow, I ended up finding myself choosing the fried chick’n burger from vegan traders Last Night A Vegan Saved My Life- not least of all due to its quirky branding and memorable name. This was super gorgeous. I think Last Night A Vegan Saved My Life has got itself…

Eating My Way Through London: Casse- Croute
After my flirtations with Greece and Persia, it seems like I’m turning back to French cuisine. Visiting Casse- Croute makes you feel like you’re dining in a French village. It may not be the cheapest, but it’s not ridiculously overpriced either. Casse- Croute, simply put, is fab. Situated in the thriving area of Bermondsey, it is small, and authentic. The chalkboard menu (changed daily) only has nine things on it, everything is in French and it feels like you’re being invited into someone’s dining room. It was a hot summer’s night when we visited and the place was crowded, despite it being a Monday (it was also my 31st birthday).…

Taking Inspiration From Persia
Nestled in amongst the hipster pubs and fashionable restaurants in the trendy Northern Quarter of Manchester, The Patron is a lovely little bar serving cheap Middle- Eastern food. It was perfect for a light bite for lunch. This Kofta b’siniyah was really delicious- recommended especially if you’re looking for something different from the usual to eat.
