Devonshire Soho: A Culinary Surprise Worth Visiting
The Devonshire Soho has been garnering a ton of attention on social media which always causing a little skepticism after the less than stellar visit to Paris’s Bubble Bliss of similar acclaim. However, the menu looked great, and we were in the area on an off time ~14:30 on a Monday and decided to chance…
Cedric Grolet at The Berkeley- London
My cabbie brainwashed me into visiting this bakery that I knew, but didn’t exatly know I needed. That makes sense, right? He was asking if I knew of Mr. Cedric, I said, ‘mais oui!’ The luxe patisserie king who concocts sweet delights well disguised as fruit or anything else. I suppose I had this conversation…
The Prince’s Head- Richmond
If you’re staying in the Heathrow vicinity and want to do something fun, albeit touristy, head to Richmond. A quaint town made famous by the show ‘Ted Lasso,’ the pub is as real as it gets. Be sure to ‘score’ a reservervation in advance, though there were a few available for our night in question….
London Guide: Update
In and out of London A LOT this year, (thanks to the Gentleman), I’ve updated The London Guide with lots of new content, easily accessible in one place. Macarons and Mayhem Guide: London
Olea Social- London
Amongst the darling side streets of Covent Garden, like a perrenial favorite, Flower Street, hang a right and you’ll run into Olea Social. After much pub grub and cozy fare, we sought something lighter and landed on Olea Social for an attempt at vegetables. I started with a housemade lemonade and the baba ghanoush with…
Ave Mario- London
While we dined at Ave Mario as a pre-theater spot, it was so bustling you would have thought it was 9pm on a Friday rather than 5:30pm on a Tuesday. The place was popping and you had your table for two hours only, as it was clear they needed it. To start we had the…
Apex Temple Court Hotel- London
For a ladies’ weekend who would be bouncing all over the city, we opted for the super central, Apex Temple Court Hotel. Set in a business district, the weekend was quiet with some restaurants closed, but things picked up during the week. A stone’s throw from Covent Garden, the proximity was perfect for getting around…
The Stratford- London
There’s a new five star on the block and she’s actually affordable, welcome into the London rotation, The Stratford. While I wasn’t originally keen on staying just outside of the central city, this hotel certainly fits the bill- designy, bustling lobby, comfortable, clean rooms, and a delicious breakfast cooked to order. The neighborhood is full…
Wicked Fish- Stratford
One sunny, London summer evening found us strolling along the canals near Stratford. The destination in mind was the Hackney Wick for a pint or two. Surprised to find that it was closed for the filming of a rom-com, we tried a few other spots before realizing it was time to find some food. Pubs…
Serata Hall- London
What’s one to do if you have 33 GBP and a Sunday morning to spare? Head to Serata Halll but be prepared to be part of a birthday and bachelorette extravaganza. Without asking, you’re brought a bottle of white and rose sparkling… oh and a jug of rum punch for good measure! They need to…
Howling Hops Hackney
Fancy a pineapple reminiscent “tropical pale ale?” Good because this place is so popular, it’s about the only thing still on tap. Perfect for a tasting flight that’s all the same beer. 🍺
