Deliciously Elegant. There are plenty of Italian restaurants in London. They cover the whole gamut of quality, but Como Garden is a cut above many others for both food and ambiance. The location of this beautiful restaurant is enviable. It is just a few yards from its sister restaurant Zuaya (recently reviewed here) and nestled…
Aiming to Offer Some of the Best Pizzas in London! The popular Italian restaurant, Como Garden, is launching a brand new pizza menu that will take diners on a culinary odyssey through the authentic flavors of Italy. Captivating diners with its romantic charm and lush garden-inspired interiors, Como Garden is bringing Kensington an essence of…
This is a leafy corner of the capital. It’s not a neighbourhood of steel and glass. This is the preserve of people who actually live here and those who choose to visit this end of Kensington High Street to seek out a little charm and calm. Now there is a new draw along this high-end…
It’s raining in Kensington and we are hungry for brunch. Yes, that convivial meal twixt brekkie and weekend dinner that allows for a broad menu over which to pore. Kensington is posh and I would venture to say that Dirty Bones has the only entrance in the area that resembles that of an iffy dive…
I am not naturally an early-morning person. I am not naturally a morning person of any time classification, but I do love breakfast – as long as I am not cooking it. If you are going to go to the trouble of sitting down to a meal at that time of the day then it…
The name Zaika means ‘fine flavour’ in a South Indian dialect, and this restaurant has been known for that since its opening in 1997, although now the owners, chef and managers have all changed. It’s a Grade II listed former bank building which would be described as having “many original features, with a striking dining…
Well, perhaps not the man himself, but The Kensington Hotel is presenting a delightful afternoon tea that is inspired by the fashion designer who is the focus of an exhibition in London called Savage Beauty. Alexander McQueen was born in London and was known for having worked as chief designer at Givenchy between 1996 and…
One is spoilt for restaurants in London. High-end Michelin-starred, white-tableclothed establishments abound. There are exotic and periodically good curry houses. There are trending trucks offering all manner of international fare. And then there are those enduring restaurants that specialise in meat. Think of some prime beef served with an array of vegetables, and there could…
Kensington High Street is smart. There is the usual complement of restaurants in the area and they range from the expected Lebanese to the trendy European casual restaurants; but this is a wealthy neighbourhood so there are eateries here that might demand a second mortgage. One would expect to pay a premium for a meal…
[This venue is now closed] One could easily miss Naga and that would be a shame. It’s tucked down a side road off Kensington High Street and its entrance doesn’t give much of a clue to the style of restaurant within; but it’s a bijou revelation. The bar is at the front and at street…
This should, in all honesty, be the shortest restaurant review you will ever read. Unbeatable for its genre. Go before the tables need to be booked months in advance. I’ll be returning. It’s well up to the standard of the competition. Yes, all true, but I guess my dear reader will want some padding on…
