In the mood for a bowl of pasta, my companions and I headed to Burro e Salvia on Lordship Lane for a start of the week treat. Named after a classic accompaniment to stuffed pasta – butter and sage – this café is the East Dulwich branch of its original Shoreditch home. Serving almost nothing … Continue reading Burro e Salvia

Pop Brixton
Although always a fan of Brixton Village Market, Pop Brixton appears to be South London's latest foodie hotspot. Describing itself as a "pioneering new space in the heart of Brixton", it's interior is certainly innovative. Like East London’s Boxpark, it's built from upcycled shipping containers. Furnishings are rough ply-wood and there's a mixture of indoor … Continue reading Pop Brixton
Wild Food Café
The Wild Food Café is a vegan/vegetarian eatery with a slight hippy-esque vibe, hidden away in Covent Garden’s charming Neal’s Yard. This tiny little square is home to the first Neal’s Yard Remedies, and a range of eateries, from the porridge hotspot 26 Grains and the salad spot SaladPride, through to Homeslice and The Barbary. … Continue reading Wild Food Café

Typically for a Saturday evening, this meant that the restaurant was heaving, so I was relieved that my friend had booked us a table. Or should I … Continue reading Tas Pide

With so many restaurants on offer on this one street, we were spoilt for choice. Given our … Continue reading Santoré
Casa Morita
Mexican food is undoubtedly one of my favourite cuisines. From crunchy nachos (blue corn all the way) dipped in chunky guacamole and tostadas piled high with fresh greens and spicy beans, to soft-corn tacos and quesadillas oozing with melted cheese, good Mexican food is fun, messy and full of flavour. So returning to Brixton's bustling … Continue reading Casa Morita
Café Murano
Café Murano, described as the "brassier, naughtier younger sister" of the Michelin-starred Murano, is the creation of the ever-inspiring force that is Angela Hartnett. Having enjoyed excellent meals at her other ventures, including The Merchant's Tavern and the recently revamped restaurant in Hampshire’s Limewood Hotel, I had high expectations of this "café". And it did … Continue reading Café Murano
