Little Brazil in London

Have you noticed the World Cup started yesterday?

If you didn’t, then wow!

The magic of the World Cup has been lost for me. I haven’t been excited about it since when that crazy Cameroon goalie would run up the pitch and score a goaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!!!

Try this: my friends and I went to Guanabara last night for the opening night. It’s a Brazilian bar off Holborn/Covent Garden. Usually a bit studenty, we usually avoid it as it doesn’t stock one’s champagne, what what! But occasionally it is rather fun to hang out with 20-somethings during happy hour.

Tibits: Veggie Heaven

I am a veggie (sort of, I can eat fish if it isn’t looking at me) but I avoid veggie restaurants. I know that’s bonkers but I find that good restaurants always have good options and let’s face it, the atmosphere will be better as veggie restaurants aren’t usually filled with roaring drunken laughter.

Not so Tibits! Tucked away on Heddon Street just off Regent St, this gem of a restaurant is wonderful. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a restaurant because it

Hakkasan

Are we cool? We go to Hakkasan, Mayfair for dinner and cocktails. Or are we stuck in the noughties? We used to go there when we were young and crazy, we would drink cosmos, giggle with strangers and go on to a club.

We went on Saturday – do people still go to Hakkasan? Apparently, yes.

Momo: Moroccon Gem Still Rocks

Looking for somewhere to go on a Saturday night in London. I revisited Heddon Street, W1, the other day to discover a number of new eateries and bars that are hidden in this little treasure trove of a cul de sac. But for me the restaurant that I once loved and frequented is still there, Momos.

Bakery with a bar!

What a combination!  This is the genius of the most amazing Italian bakery in the world – Princi.
