For our last night in busy South Beach, without a prearranged booking, thumbing through the local restaurant guide, we fell upon Gloria Estefan’s South Beach flagship – Larios on the Beach – and thought why not, who doesn’t love a bit of Gloria? Slightly apprehensive that we could call and get a table so easily …

The Sir Richard Steele “Pub to Go”
Ell, a born and bred North Londoner, has seen his fair share of local pubs come and go with the whims of fashion and the in-crowd. Nowhere more so than in Steeles village, Haverstock Hill, once home to the achingly trendy and celeb packed Haverstock Arms and equally notorious Hill. But whilst they may have come …
Prime 112 Restaurant, Miami Beach
En route for our pre-COVID holiday to Blue Waters Resort in Antigua we made a fleeting pitstop in Miami, staying at the National Hotel, one of Miami’s original Art Deco icons on South Beach. We naturally did pre-holiday research for places to dine and restaurant Prime 112 (Prime One Twelve) consistently came up as another …
Chinese Tuxedo Restaurant, New York
Chinese Tuxedo is a cool, hip, happening Cantonese style restaurant set in a two-story former opera house on Doyers Street in the heart of Chinatown; the venue was once the headquarters for the notorious Tong (gang) wars that took place in the early 1900s. We say hip and cool because as you enter Chinese Tuxedo …
TAO Downtown Restaurant, New York
New York is a melting pot of cuisines, and never more so than in the Meatpacking District where you can find a French café nestled next to a hot dog cart around the corner from a Mexican Taqueria. During our recent stay at The Maritime Hotel we found ourselves craving Pan-Asian food, thanks to the …

Festive Restaurant Feasting 2019/20, London Style
Wow, we can’t believe that this is our 6th annual festive restaurant feasting roundup! For reasons both professional and personal Elldrew were a little quieter on the blog front in 2019, but don’t let that deceive you into thinking we haven’t continued to eat our way around London; and no more so than during the traditional …
Morso Restaurant, London
So no one has ever told us about Morso, an Italian restaurant on our doorstep in St John’s Wood, serving up seasonal small plates, handcrafted fresh pasta and delicious desserts as well as authentic Italian wines and innovative grappa cocktails! We were lucky enough to recently dine here and whilst the venue is small, we …
Kanishka Restaurant, London
It’s odd to think of heading to a restaurant for a curry dinner during summer, but as the season started to draw to a close, looking for some quiet from the tourist season madness, Elldrew ventured off to Indian restaurant, Kanishka, located in the heart of Mayfair.
Circolo Popolare Restaurant, London
Circolo Popolare has been billed as bringing authentic Sicilian cuisine to the heart of Fitzrovia, so we headed off hoping to tantalize the taste buds whilst checking out what all the fuss was about.
