It’s several years since we first raved about Mela. Time has moved on, we’re looking older… and Mela’s still delivering the goods...

It’s always slightly unnerving returning to a restaurant a long time after you gave it a rave review. Will standards have slipped?

The Menier Chocolate Factory is a former chocolate factory, once owned by a bloke called Menier, funnily enough. It’s a strange hybrid of a place, that’s part bar, part theatre and part restaurant...

The Millennium Hotel holds a dear memory for me. It was here (or at the Chelsea Holiday Inn as it was then called) that I spotted my first celebrity, Brian Ferry, languidly sipping cocktails at the bar....

A little crescent off Regents Street doesn’t seem the obvious place for the little slice of Marrakech that is Momo.

It has to be said that Streatham High Road is one of the dreariest places in all of London. On the surface, Mrs Wong’s fits in with this profile both outside and in. But when food is set in front of you, things begin to change. Dramatically. The cooking is spot on, equal to the best in Chinatown if not slightly better.....

From the outside, the lower case noble rot is also quite low key. I must have walked past it several times - I've certainly spent a few afternoons in the pub opposite - without ever noticing this restaurant and private members’ club. However, while the private members club is achingly trendy (a quick glance at the guest list featured several supermodels and more men called Tarquin than you've ever dreamed possible), the restaurant shouldn't be ignored.

As the name suggests, Notting Hill Brasserie is a neighbourhood restaurant. It’s just a very good restaurant for a very good neighbourhood. This means it’s not cheap but you know something? Neither is the local clientele. The last time I saw so.....
