Kiln Restaurant, Soho, London
We FINALLY went (stumbled across it by accident on a shopping trip to be honest, but we had been itching to go for ages). We waited (not too long for a Saturday afternoon sitting, around 20 minutes) and we fell totally in love with Kiln, an open plan Thai-inspired restaurant using wood-burning ovens and grills …
Flavour Bastard Restaurant, London
Flavour Bastard restaurant, we went because the name made us giggle and the critic reviews were so scathing that it could only be better than expected. It was and we’d definitely go back, not just for its name sake!
Bala Baya Restaurant, London
Bala Baya – it’s a bit of a limerick to say quickly, but Elldrew have been saying it a lot since we went there a week ago. It rocked. Not just because it’s under train arches, nor because of the flying camel logo, but because it’s one of the best restaurants we’ve been too recently …
Temper City Restaurant, London
We have been big fans of Temper restaurant since they opened their doors in Soho. A BBQ restaurant with a South American influence serving up amazing dishes; it’s all about meat and boy do they know how to cook it! We were naturally very excited to hear they had opened a second branch in the …
Oblix Restaurant, The Shard, London
In wild contradiction to our recent bargain pasta dinner, that same week we also had the pleasure of dining at Oblix, one of several restaurants in London’s Shard – polar opposites to L’Artigiano. The whole experience of dining in The Shard is special; it’s a meal for a special occasion with a price tag reserved …
L’Artigiano Restaurant, London EC1
Spontaneous dining; not something Elldrew do often; mostly because our choice of restaurants require planning and booking well in advance, however every so often, when the moons align, spontaneity can be a good thing. This was apparent on a recent outing to trendy Clerkenwell to watch a friend’s live gig. Without a booking, specific craving …
Banana Tree Restaurant, London
Quite often we tend to get wrapped up in the hype of trendy or new restaurant openings that we forget there are plenty of well-established venues serving up delicious cuisine, that also need recognition. It may have taken Elldrew 20 odd years to finally book a table at Pan Asian restaurant Banana Tree, but after …
Elldrew’s Perfect Tiramisu Recipe
Elldrew love tiramisu; that perfect blend of coffee, a little alcohol and a lot of cream. It’s one of our favourite desserts if the tiramisu recipe is made just right, so not having an Italian bone in either of our bodies it’s taken us years – and many attempts – to perfect what is now …
Restaurant Guide Update: Ciutadella, Menorca
They say you can never have too much of a good thing, so on a second visit in as many years to the lovely Hotel Can Faustino located in the old Ciutadella on the Spanish island of Menorca, we couldn’t wait to return to eat at some of our previous favourite restaurants, as well as …
