ZOBLER’S DELI & DINER: Ox cheek donuts, mac & cheese and martinis at this New York-inspired spot

tagged in: , , , , , ,

'People can't get enough of them. One group of men came for lunch and they kept on ordering them one after another!' I was at The Ned - the wining and dining emporium which is a must-visit for residents and visitors alike to London for its stunning interiors - and I'd landed at Zobler's Deli & Diner. The 'them' our waiter was referring to, was one of the New York-inspired eatery's most popular dishes; spiced ox cheek donuts. Swept up by his enthusiasm, we put the savoury donuts on our order list. Also to start, we opted for the blistered padron peppers with a spicy dip. For mai...

But if you're a resident or visitor to the town and haven't been, I encourage you to gallop along to The Ivy Montpellier Brasserie.

LASZLO & FOREIGN CINEMA: A winning bar and restaurant combo in San Francisco’s hipster Mission District

tagged in: , , , , , , , , ,

San Francisco's Latino Mission District has been described as being 'Brooklyn on steroids' with its bustling hipster scene. On a brief stop in the Golden City recently I was steered towards the hip neighbourhood to delve into its restaurant and bar scene. It was a Tuesday night and I walked from San Francisco's more manicured city centre with its high rises and sharp looking store fronts to the ramshackle warmth of the Mission District. Think electric shops, twinkling lights and a motley bunch of characters from all walks of life. LASZLO Reaching 2526 Mission St I came across Laszlo, a ...

BLOOM: Kensington gets some spark back with this polished party liar, with truffle mac, delicious margaritas and a dance floor

tagged in: , , , , , , ,

Sometimes I'm stuck for where to head in Kensington for a fun post-work drink other than one of the many great but not glitzy local pubs. But after stepping into Bloom on High Street Kensington, I feel like this dilemma has been solved. This bar, eatery and club ticks all the boxes when it comes to having a bit of grown-up fun with no fuss. There is no dress code and no guest list at Bloom, unlike when it operated as the Swiss-themed venue Bodo’s Schloss and the Polynesian-themed club Mahiki. The party spot, nestled under the Royal Garden Hotel, was snapped up by the Incipio Group, the s...
