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
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

Roka
Having enjoyed a (brilliant) celebratory cocktail at Roka’s bar after receiving a job offer at a law firm, I chose this restaurant for a work dinner with a US partner who was staying at a hotel on the Strand. My law firm and Roka seem to go hand in hand! Indeed, I later learnt that … Continue reading Roka
SaladPride
SaladPride sits cosily alongside 26 Grains and the Wild Food Café in the health lover’s paradise that has become Neal’s Yard (ignoring Homeslice!). For a treat bank holiday Saturday lunch pre a matinée of a not so cheery play (Nick Payne’s Elegy at the Donmar Warehouse – probably one of London’s best and most intimate … Continue reading SaladPride
Shot
Nutritious, eclectic and delicious food, SHOT is my kind of go-to lunch spot. What’s more, it’s not too far from work on the calm backstreets of Bride Lane. SHOT's Scandinavian-style interior is eye opening: with Dutch tiles surrounding the space like a cocoon, it has a cleansing but avant-garde mood. It feels like a disco … Continue reading Shot
