My life evolves around food. I’m Mediterranean, and if I meet a friend, it will be over food. In French, I’d call my friends “copains”, those you share bread with.

The tortelloni […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Bistros Food: Excellent Service: Lovely but sloooooooooow. Do not go there if you are at all in a rush. Bonus: Takes TasteCard (even on Fridays) for 50% off the food. Also has absolutely lovely armchair seats. So the slow service is happily tolerable, even pleasant. Favourites: Calamari […] continue reading »
