Another Christmas, another series of festive meals, another January starts with a diet. 2016 mainly saw Elldrew revisiting some old favourites – to see if they’re just as good and festive as previous years – and in case you need any reminders you can read our 2014/15 or 2015/16 festive feasting reviews before taking a …

Oslo Court Restaurant, London
Once, a long time ago in an era far different from this one, ground floor apartment block space was given over to self-contained restaurants aimed at locals and residents. Nowadays this valuable piece of real estate is converted into either gyms or swimming pools, promoting a healthy wellbeing to attract potential buyers. But, in the …
Forest Restaurant, Selfridge’s Rooftop
Selfridges rooftop dining continues to provide one of the best vibes and taste sensations in London, thanks to the team from Des McDonald Consultancy, who already have a loyal following at their Q Grill and Vintage Salt restaurants. This summer the rooftop was transformed into the Forest Restaurant & Bar, bringing an abundance of fresh …
Trufflesecco: Prosecco and Truffles Bar
By now you should be well aware that Elldrew have a slight truffle fetish. We’ve previously blogged about our truffle adventures in Croatia and our Christmas truffle dining at The Savoy in London, so it would be naïve for us not to try London’s latest “And” venue (Prosecco and truffles bar), Trufflesecco.
Dietary Dining: Imaginative simple dishes
Over the years Elldrew have blogged about lunch and dinner entertaining we’ve hosted, they’re always great fun and the perfect opportunity to catch-up with family or friends and try out new recipes. Last weekend we probably had our biggest challenge to date. To prepare a luncheon for guests who are vegetarian, gluten and egg free.
Festive Restaurant Feasting 2015/16, London Style
Another year, another season and another ten days of eating and drinking in and around London. Without turning this into a personal competition, having read our 2014/15 eating capers, it could seem like we are setting ourselves an annual challenge to out-do the number of restaurants we can frequent with family and friends over the silly season. …
Zesty Courgette Spaghetti
One of the great things about the internet is the constant inspiration it provides. We recently scrolled across a photo of this wonderful looking zesty courgette spaghetti pasta dish, deliciously created and shot by Australian food stylist @tracyvalentinawood who we follow on Instagram. Tracy’s Insta account is full of amazing dishes she creates and well …
German Gymnasium – Guten Appetit!
Since acquiring the original group of Conran restaurants that took London by storm in the Nineties, our friends at D&D Group seldom seem to let the side down when it comes to relaunching classics or opening new offerings here and overseas, and Elldrew were definitely not disappointed with the newest addition to their collect, the German …
Som Saa Thai Pop-Up, London
Years back when pop-up restaurants literally “popped up”, we awarded our fictitious ‘Elldrew Loves’ restaurant crown to Dishoom, who brought the old Irani cafe style and flavours of Bombay to London with their first restaurant opening in 2010. Dishoom came to Elldrew’s attention with their pop-up at The Dishoom Chowpatty Beach Bar on the Southbank …
Busaba Eathai
For a London restaurant chain serving modern Thai food, Busaba does it really well. It has been around for over 15 years, with 12 venues, and was conceived by the famous chef Alan Yau. It’s a perfect spot for lunch or dinner. The salt and pepper calamari is delicious, the Lab (or Larb as we …
