Not because its fancy or even because the food is amazing - but because its there. It still has luncheon voucher stickers on its cappuccino machine, the toilets are outside old school style, its pizza menu is 8 items long... but its BYOB and you can always get a table on a saturday night.<br /><br />It also has a giant topless mermaid mural on one wall and giant bags of italian flour stacked by the door.<br /><br />Finally, it closes randomly whenever it feels like, and I've spent many an evening there when I've been spurned from Polpo, Wahaca, Barrafina or whereever else.Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880704082067997120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-45683939579234671682010-08-31T18:54:15.847+01:002010-08-31T18:54:15.847+01:00My favourite at the moment is Polpo - mmmm slow ro...My favourite at the moment is Polpo - mmmm slow roast pork bellyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550630880349913974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-72110879711315345372010-08-29T22:17:22.412+01:002010-08-29T22:17:22.412+01:00Saf in East London - it's true brilliance on a...Saf in East London - it's true brilliance on a plate. You should go for the 'beetroot ravioli' and for the creative and tasty approach to introducing Londoners to a raw food diet! Also, the Sicilian Nero d'Avola (organic!) and cocktail with rhubarb should not be missed!Notebook Unedited Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03438837638416850100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-86457186923650159562010-08-27T14:54:58.676+01:002010-08-27T14:54:58.676+01:00How about London's only Burmese Restaurant 444...How about London's only Burmese Restaurant 444 Edgware Road run by the Ally brothersDi9it8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-65949484155470998072010-08-25T17:24:40.204+01:002010-08-25T17:24:40.204+01:00Would love to go to this!

Ignore the loud arguments from native patrons drinking beer on the pavement tables out front, try not to snigger at the triangles of dairylea presented with the bread on arrival, and tuck into the best prawns you'll ever eat. A platter of enormous, shell-on prawns sodden with a choice of garlic butter straight or with extra peri peri sauce. Utterly devine, and dirt cheap.Emmahttp://www.souperior.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-44690996747976848112010-08-24T11:05:36.581+01:002010-08-24T11:05:36.581+01:00St John Bread & Wine, because it's old sch...St John Bread & Wine, because it's old school in a good way, mindful of provenance, but mainly because they have full on respect for THE PIG.<br /><br />Oh, and having leftover Madeleines for breakfast because I can't stuff them in my face the night before.The Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01464898095881984697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-57555732054899204432010-08-23T18:31:15.200+01:002010-08-23T18:31:15.200+01:00I love many restaurants in London but my fave is B...I love many restaurants in London but my fave is Bob Bob Ricard. Partly because I feel cheered up and decadent and special just walking in to that interior, partly because the service always makes me feel so welcome too and of course, I really like the food. I'm going to celebrate my birthday there next month - better get on with organising something, actually!Kaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662875905365870280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-31413757891024454372010-08-23T17:26:38.318+01:002010-08-23T17:26:38.318+01:00My fave at the moment is probably 101 Thai Kitchen...My fave at the moment is probably 101 Thai Kitchen.
