The neon sign of Kapara welcomes you to “A Tel Aviv fantasy”, in much the same font as one used to see outside less salubrious doors also promising a “fantasy” experience. This is Soho so the choice of font is likely to have been intentional but the culinary fantasy promised at Eran Tibi’s (of Bala …

The Black Cow Restaurant, London
We love Middle Eastern food and have been regulars at Machneyuda group’s London outposts (including Coal Office in King’s Cross and Palomar in Soho) since well before the pandemic. We were even known to pop down to Kings Cross for a cheeky Coal Office takeaway in the deepest, darkest days of lockdown, so it’s hardly surprising that we fell …

Larios on the Beach Restaurant, Miami Beach
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 …
Prime 112 Restaurant, Miami 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 …
Amazonico Restaurant, London
If you find yourself wondering why you’re in a rainforest setting, in the heart of Mayfair, then you’ve probably stumbled into Amazonico restaurant. One of London’s latest restaurant openings, Amazonico is the first outpost of the Madrid celeb hangout of the same name. With no expense spared – not on the location; not on the impeccable …
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.
