Time to read: < 1 minute London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Italian & Pizza Real and proper, uncut and on a wooden board, pizza al metro. Delicious base, excellent toppings, generous portions. Shame the place got so crowded that we couldn’t get a hold of a dessert menu in good time. On our next visit we’ll have to […] continue reading »

Restaurants, bars, hotels, beaches, cafes, museums, etc… Reviews of the places I visit.
Caravan heaven
Time to read: 3 minutes The most unprepossessing entrance to the worst kept secret in London! A brunch fit for… Well… The eclectic foodie. One of my best friends in the world had just come back from visiting his family back in Greece. He felt guilty and relieved at being back in London. He’d missed the place. And, to be […] continue reading »
Qype: The Ebury in London
Time to read: < 1 minute The rabbit did it. No, really! There’s a rabbit sitting on the bar, and he did it! He made me order the bloody mary, and the delicious (they must have been fresh) squid, and the steak. yummm…. steak… Although, to be fair, I’m not sure I’d recommend the steak. I think they got my order […] continue reading »

Time to read: < 1 minute London – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Bars – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs Convenient location, pretty good burgers, but a bit slow on the service for something that looks and feels like a pub.Wouldn’t either recommend nor discourage.

Qype: Abyssanto Villas in Santorin
Time to read: 2 minutes A series of small houses, without kitchenette, in a field near the coastal road running on the back of the island. This is a quiet road. Clean and economical, especially if you need to fit a car into your budget for getting to beaches, other towns or archaeological sites. Also, Hostelbay and its unique ferry […] continue reading »
Qype: Hilton Athens Hotel in Athens
Time to read: 2 minutes Room was clean, although the floor seemed a bit dusty. We were disappointed to not have bathrobes in the room by default (and this is an expensive Hilton), and didn’t bother asking for them. An iron and ironing board are in the closet. Dry cleaning facilities are provided, but at €14 for a pair of […] continue reading »
Qype: Cafe Des Amis in London
Time to read: < 1 minute London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – French – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant The pricetags do not quite match the food. I suppose that’s the only reason this is getting a 3. Despite the tastecard discount, I am still not impressed. The flavours were nice enough. The scallops cooked very well. The tortelloni […] continue reading »
Qype: Leicester Square Bar and Restaurant in London
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 »

Qype: Gaucho in Richmond
Time to read: < 1 minute Richmond – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Steak Houses A well-kept secret, Richmond’s edition of the popular Gaucho has perched itself just by the waterside, under a massive oak tree (is it an oak tree? My herbology isn’t up to scratch). It has lovely seating both indoors and outdoors, with wall-to-wall windows making a […] continue reading »
