    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?

    Vantra Vitro

    Vantra Vitro is a small restaurant nestled along Oxford Street in London,  specialising in healthy food.  Everything is vegan which is why a group of us ended up there for my vegan friend Anna’ s birthday last weekend. The restaurant doesn’t sell alcohol so I drank Elderflower water instead (somebody tried the Mangoade). The food was in a buffet style,  so you help yourself and then the plate gets weighed.  You pay for how much is on your plate. There was a choice ranging from Thai curry to steamed broccoli and strogonoff.  I really enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend Vantro Vitro if you’d like to try something healthier. …
