Deep fried mars bar with vanilla soft serve @rias_london. Have to respect any place serving a deep fried mars bar #mars #marsbar #deepfriedmarsbar #foodinlondon

Deep fried mars bar with soft serve

Left over pizza bread for their bread and butter pudding. Too heavy and a bit too dry

Pizza was pretty heavy and filling :/ 🍕

Dense pizza

Haggis pops with wild garlic mayo

Baby gem salad

Some brilliant desserts at @gardenmuseumcafe by @gabbergrams. The rest of the food is mostly good but the dessert menu (which changes every day) is the reason to come here, along with the lovely garden setting. Truly incredible 10/10 blackberry meringue roulade. Swipe to see the rest

Loganberry fool and shortbread. Unreal 🫠 🥰

Apricot, almond and chocolate tart 🙌🏽🤌🏽🙌🏽🤌🏽

Strawberry mousse

Delicious fatty lamb with potatoes, green beans and salsa verde

Gazpacho

Flat peach, tomato, ricotta, pine nuts and basil. Lovely but too small

Octopus was excellent but not enough of it 😢

Very good lemon sole with spinach, girolles and an aioli which was overpowering

Rabbit cooked in rose, cucumber, saffron and basil

Orecchiette, peas and bacon

Carne salata, watercress and anchovy dressing

Focaccia

Delicious food at @theshaston.arms - cannot believe it is not busier. Same owners as @thewatermans.arms where the food is also very good. Ex dairy fore rib steak was one of the best steaks I’ve had in London

Outstanding chips 🍟 🤤

Mussel, smoked cod’s roe and shallot fritter. Worked brilliantly

Rare beef, friggitelli pepper on an onion ring worked well

Squid and Merguez bun - so delicious. Squid had the perfect texture

Rib cap skewer and prawn sauce. Skippable

Bigoli al limone but more like a cacio e pepper with a bit of lemon 🍋 🤌🏽👌🏽

Peach, asiago cheese and basil

Ice creams were house made but disappointing. Skip these and go to the new @icecreamunion immediately next door and get the pistachio, matcha, coconut choc chip, banana split, dulce de leche and hojicha flavours 💁‍♀️

The River Cafe Cafe @therivercafecafe is really great. Ingredient quality here is so high and the pastas and desserts are just as excellent as their older sister @therivercafelondon which is immediately next door. Spaghetti vongole (clams) was perfect… swipe to see the rest

Caponata 👍🏽

Vitello tonnato 🙌🏽

Lemon tart - just as amazing as always and exactly the same one as The River Cafe.

Almond gelato

Straciatella gelato affogato

Undeniably good food at @strakers__ by @thomas_straker. The mussel flatbread was the star dish and it is worth coming here just for that. Swipe to see the other dishes

Grilled iberico pork with roasted peppers 🫑

Gnocchi with duck ragu and pecorino 👍🏽

Set vanilla custard with amazing gariguette strawberries and an almond tuile

Delicious food @cafeclementlondon in a cool space. Can’t wait to return. Ex head chef of the River Cafe @dannybohan has made a great menu👌🏽

Lemon meringue pie (must order) / trout 👍🏽 / croque monsieur done so well - so tasty with a nice hit of mustard / ravioli with comte, ricotta and crème fraiche 🫶🏽 / duck and potatoes / beans and courgettes / hazelnut and raspberry tart. Not pictured was an amazing must order chocolate mousse - one of the best ever 🫠 🤤 #foodinlondon #cafeclement #stclement #lemonmeringuepie Less

No restaurant could live up to the crazy level of hype that @impala.soho has received but the food was very good and would definitely return. The menu is quite big and would be interesting to see if they could reach greater heights if it was stripped down with more focus on fewer dishes. Roast duck with fig sauce / ftira - must order delicious fried bread with a hen’s egg / sheftalia - pork wrapped in caul fat / beef tartare / white crab wrapped in a Shiso leaf / orzo with spiced oxtail / beef with molokhia / aish baladi (whole grain and bran) / honey and olive oil bread (a bit like a sweet challah) / sweetbreads / hot squid salad / pilaf with herbs and barberries / date and pistachio tart #foodinlondon #impala #impalalondon #impalasoho #sheftalia Less

The attention to detail across all aspects at @maison_sota is very special. Delicious and unique food in a one-of-a-kind setting that has been converted from a wine storage building and coffee machine repair workshop. Millecrepes made with button mushrooms and celeriac sauce / salt baked guinea fowl - so juicy / sardine with a chestnut crisp / koji (from Hokkaido) risotto with girolles / white asparagus, raw cream and horseradish / grilled turbot with asparagus and nettles sauce / salad / pear feuilleté and vanilla ice cream / chocolate fondant / passion fruit / bread and butter for Normandy / apple and sorrel juice #paris #maisonsota #sotaatsumi Less

Bistrot Paul Bert @bistrotpaulbert is👌🏽- well worth a visit and the desserts especially were excellent. The steak meat quality wasn’t great but the peppercorn sauce was amazing and the best I’ve had. Poached veal brain with lemon butter 🧠 / herring / chips / gougeres / delicious must order ile flottante with custard / Grand Marnier soufflé 🙌🏽 #paris #paulbert #bistrotpaulbert #ileflottante #bistro Less
