    Eating My Way Through London: Mexican at the Bodega Negra Cafe

    Soho is the go-to place for a good time in London, and it was top of my list for dinner and cocktails after visiting an exhibition. Bodega Negra Cafe boasts a vibrant, lively ambience with a cool Soho-vibe. The decor makes for a trendy atmosphere and the staff were friendly. It has all the makings of a classic Saturday night hang-out. Except it’s missing one vital ingredient. The food is just okay- my quesadillas were more like a pizza, and the rice and black beans in my friend’s dish were cold (but we think they were meant to be like that). The portions were pretty small and I felt hungry…

    Eating My Way Through London: Pasta at Vapiano

    I was looking through old pictures on my phone and came across some photos of my visit to Vapiano last year. I’m not obsessed with pasta (okay, I am), but pasta is great to photograph. Is that just me? Anyway, Vapiano is a canteen- style Italian restaurant that caters to the ‘swipe and go’ generation. I think it’s worthy of a mention on this blog as the pasta is fabulous. And they offer takeaway- ideal for these Covid times. There’s a few branches around London, so if you’re near one, it’s worth paying a visit. And if you’re not…put it on the list of places to visit in London when…

    Eating My Way Through London: Figo, Stratford

    This pizza from Figo in Stratford deserves a lot of love. I tried it way back before lockdown 1, so it was a bit of time ago, but it’s stuck in my memory since. Figo is a great little Italian place in East London, with a vibrant atmosphere. The pizza was excellent, so flavoursome and filling. The restaurant is popular with the nearby office- workers, therefore hopefully it hasn’t suffered too much as a larger number of people work from home. I think I’ll give Figo 9/10 for its pizza.

    All you can eat pizza at Crust Bros

    Even though I can’t actually visit there right now, I’m currently dreaming about these delicious pizzas from Crust Bros in Waterloo. Yes I had both in one go! It’s really hard to post content under the UK lockdown, especially for a food blog that is centred mainly around eating out! It becomes a struggle to avoid being insensitive, whilst also being interesting. Luckily, I have lots of food pics from previous foodie- trips to enjoy. This is also an opportunity for me to try some more home- baking, something I sadly don’t get much to do, because of time. Stay safe everyone xx
