So here's a list to get you / me going to end 2013 nicely and before i have anything substantial to write. Some places I've been and quite liked:
and pls give me some suggestions so i have a nice and full agenda =)
Fancy Food Spots:
fancy bar for a nice date,
relatively pricey but a good night out, very delicious food and a very nice bar
upstairs. (save room for dessert), book in advance fills up
fast
same owner as social eating house,
smaller place with more affordable ££ with a speak-easy feel
amazing view from heron tower, good
flow, nice buzzy place, book in advance (brunch is amazing too)
fancy fancy delicious food with an
outstanding vegetarian menu, very nice setting with an amazing dessert bar
similar feel to pollen st social,
nice cuisine with good game meat selection for mains
Japanese / Mexican fusion? Some nice
dishes, some combinations are a bit.. interesting but worth taking a date!
various room, different feel /
purpose, all very fancy, date place for sure, nice and expensive cocktails, oh
and take your camera to the toilet with you, the design is so cool
another spot for nice slow cooked
meat dishes, and amazing sorbets
really fancy spot just in the St.
Pancras hotel with amazing food and classy crowd (save room for dessert)
somewhere to go if you want to feel
nice and posh for just a bit =) green park
Casual bites
its sort of like a tapas place,
there’s a special chefs table as well, interesting dishes
they have a pizza section and a
counter section for pastries and sweets, almost always have to que but worth the
wait if you want some fresh Italian food!
wasn’t the biggest fan of their
pizza but the bar is worth stopping in for
same owner as the garrison, right on
bermondsey st. very good food and not too ££
yummy food with an interesting menu,
great for brunch, bermonsey st
same owner as the above two, food is
more British than others, a bit heavy for my taste but worth a try
tapas bar on bermondsey st =), a
tad pricey but nice to stop in after work
just here! sunday roast =)
the pistachio ice cream is like zomg
so good, ill eat it any day even if its freezing out!
Diners / Joints
nice old school diner, there's also
cinema that's really cool, selection of showings aren’t great though
same owner as meat & liquor,
less crowded, still yummy
well obviously
really, really yummy burgers
Bars / coffee
shops
cool buzzy bar, has live music so
look it up for tickets in advance, haven’t tried the food
this place is cool you can bring
your own alcohol and they mix it for you
more of a bar than a restaurant just
in the st. pancreas hotel, which used to be a booking office of the train
station (I think), live music
live jazz music, amazing selection
of spirits, somewhere to sit for a while to enjoy the crowd
Brunch Spots
classic spot for some hearty healthy
breakfast (or all day meals really), many locations but sometimes still have to
que!
famous one, American breakfast
(can’t go wrong with that), no reservations, have to que (10-30+mins) everytime
Bombay fusion
foods, interesting dishes with a twist and many spices! (yummy chai)
very nice place for a brunch date
breakfast buffet, it’s a bit pricey
so make sure you go like really hungry and drink all the champagne, and then got
nothing to do rest of the day
Asian
soho - nicer place to have
Vietnamese food, very yummy and fresh ingredients, portions quite large
tottenham court road - Koba Korean
food, pretty authentic, nice setting and gets quite loud (as Korean restaurants
should!)
holborn - good place for soju / sake
bombs and good BBQ!!
covent garden – decent thai food,
always my go to place if I want to grab some yummy green curry
soho - que is usually a bit longer
here, very yummy as well with nicer décor
soho – more thai than anything, go
for the randeng beef / pad thai, nice fresh fruit juices
Chinatown / soho –
Japanese yakitori spot, loud, buzzy, meat on skewers, that sorta deal
authentic ramen spot =)
not as authentic as cay tre but
still decent hot pho on a cold day
fancier thai spot with more delicate
food choices
no website, my favourite spot for
some authentic Japanese homemade food, katsu curry, chicken teriyaki, udon,
super cheap can’t go wrong

come back on these =)
