The South of France, the millionaires playground, isn’t somewhere Elldrew have visited for many years, so we were excited to spend a long weekend there last summer. Based in Cannes we were spoilt for choice when choosing restaurants, but amongst the culinary delights on offer we found our very favourite nestled outside the city in …
For anyone staying on the Ialysos Avenue ‘hotel strip’ to the north of the island, about 2.5 miles from Rhodes medieval Old Town, we’ve pulled together a few of our favourite restaurants.
The Marco Polo restaurant, located in the Turkish Quarter of Rhodes medieval Old Town, is part of a small family run hotel (Marco Polo Mansion). We had heard it wasn’t the easiest to find, and we can vouch for that – we walked past the door a couple of times as our phone navigation was jumping …
There’s been a lot written about Alan Geaam’s journey to Michelin star acclaim; he learnt cooking by watching his mother whilst growing up in war-torn Lebanon, moved to Paris at the age of 24 with no qualifications or grasp of the French language, taking inspiration from French culinary magazines he read as a teenager, with …
With over 1,000 restaurants in Madeira’s capital city Funchal you will definitely be spoilt for choice; from modern and sophisticated eateries offering international cuisine, to locally-sourced fresh seafood, meat and seasonal produce served up in traditional tavernas, whatever your craving you will find it when visiting this culinary city. We recommend reading TripAdvisor for the …
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.
Elldrew think that the last time they saw the back corner of Kings Cross (the bit between the gas holders and the canal) was over a decade ago, in the early hours of a Sunday morning, on their way home from a misspent evening at one of the legendary nightclubs that used to occupy that …
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 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 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. We’ve wanted to visit but Richmond is a day trip for us, …
