Towpath Café, De Beauvoir Town, London N1 5SB.
This place is fantastic and exceptionally executed, it has a wonderful atmosphere and a special sense of community.
40 Maltby Street, London SE1 3PA
One of the most exciting restaurants, its food has a perfect balance of technically, brilliant but also warm and satisfying.
The Laughing Heart, Hackney Rd, London E2 8NA
Delicious food, but also so much fun, and great wine too.
Kol, Marylebone, London W1H 7BA
This one is for those very special occasions.
Peg, Hackney, London E9 6LH
Easy going and really punchy flavours, I love perching by the window and watch the world go by.
Bright, Hackney, London E8 3RL
Their deep-fried lasagne is to die for, the wine list and service are incredible too.
Brat, Hackney, London E1 6JL
I loved my experience here, incredible sea food dishes and Basque cheesecake.
Quo Vadis, Soho, London W1D 3LL
For delicious food and a very special atmosphere. I cannot wait to take my mum there when she’s finally allowed to come to the U.K.
