Ozer
Ozer is the sister restaurant to budget Turkish fave Sofra. Indeed, aside from the slightly more opulent decoration, it could be the identical twin sister restaurant...

The sums add up at Percento. While the horrible ‘70s buildings have come down around St Paul’s and before the (hopefully) wonderful new buildings are on the way up, there are some amazing, if temporary, views to be seen...

Chinese New Year is a bit like Christmas. Of course, there are presents, parties and lots of food, but it’s also one of those holidays that defines a whole season and goes on long after the actual day has passed...

Pomino is a neighbourhood Italian / Tuscan restaurant in South London. With luck, and a little investment, the idea will soon be rolled out into other neighbourhoods. It’s an unpretentious, relaxed spot serving

Lookswise, Preem is functional rather than ostentatious. To be blunt, there’s not a lot to make it stick out from its crowd of Brick Lane rivals but that’s not meant as a criticism...

Restaurant reviewers really would like to be able to say every place is wonderful and enumerate the multiple virtues of their dining experiences, if for no other reason than the fact that it would mean all their dining experiences actually were entirely wonderful. Meanwhile........

It seems it’s a challenge to recreate the experience of real Italian dining in the UK. I am always on the look out for a restaurant that can produce the mouth-watering freshness of real Italian cooking.

A restaurant with its art in the right place.Not all parts of London’s West End are created equally. The Haymarket has theatres and cinemas but is a dining-out blackspot.
