MRS FOGG’S: Cruise along to this buzzing City spot, with exotic cocktails and Asian-inspired bites

Sailing away from the standard City bar format is Mrs Fogg’s in Broadgate Circle. The Mr Fogg’s chain of bars is one of my favourite in town, given its exploration theme, and the latest site, Mrs Fogg’s, sticks to the standards. The place was inspired by Aou...

Decked out with dolls-house like furnishings - think lengths of velvet and soft pinks and greens - Millie's at The Ned promises to charm. I checked out the British brasserie on a Tuesday night after a perfectly poured martini over at the Library Bar (a must-v...

CRISPIN: Italian inspired feasting housed in a glass pavilion of divine proportions. November’s guest chef residency by Dan Wilson requires ‘One of each’ please…

Possibly one of the most unique restaurant locations we’ve visited in a while, newly opened Crispin is housed in a glass and zinc pavilion on a quiet corner of Spitalfields. It has a submarine feel to it, minus the notion of sea. From the outside, it’s a large...

POLPO: Warming cocktails for the winter months with the spirit of Italy at the heart
