Lokhandwala Restaurant, London W1
Continuing our recent ‘small dishes’ dining trend (influenced by the culinary world of course), next up was Indian tapas, Lokhandwala, in Fitzrovia. A small restaurant, we loved the décor, even with a juxtaposition of baroque styling against an Indian menu. It made sense once we had learnt of Lady Charlotte Louisa Fitzrovia and how she rocked Victorian …
The Belrose, Haverstock Hill NW3
The Hill, The Load of Hay, and now The Belrose – Elldrew’s most local of locals has been through many incarnations in the past few years, so this weekend we got to visit the latest, as part of its soft opening. Pitched as “a neighbourhood pub with a difference, serving seasonal Italian inspired fare” we …
Petersham Nurseries Covent Garden: La Goccia Restaurant
Petersham Nurseries in Richmond is the stuff of legend; an unloved nursery purchased by folks escaping the rat race (with little “nursery” experience) that has grown into a successful shop and Michelin starred restaurant… and we suspect an aspirational family business cum lifestyle brand.

The Palomar Restaurant, London
The Palomar, in London’s west-end, serving modern day Jerusalem inspired food has been on Elldrews bucket list for far too long. So, with a day out of the office, we excitedly headed to a late lunch booking. The first thing you notice when you enter the tiny restaurants is the zinc bar and open plan …
