Bompas & Parr Mercedes Drive-throu

Bompas & Parr Mercedes Drive-throu

As we read on their website, for the London Fashion Week, Bompas and Parr “designed a temporary drive-thru restaurant called – drum roll, please – “Mercedes Drive-Thru“! From September 14 – 16, guests can enjoy an extraordinary art and dining experience, featuring a spectacular mix of food, light, and fashion. The formerly humdrum act of deciding which size soft drink to guzzle while going 90kmh will morph into an exciting, delicious, and signaturely awesome sensory experience.” Having missed out on…

A meal at Medlar, Chelsea

A meal at Medlar, Chelsea

A couple of weeks ago I celebrated a fairly depressing birthday so not wanting to do anything major, I booked a table at French restaurant Medlar for myself and @bmcboy.

Pret a Diner: “Italians do it better”. Really?

After trying out Pret a Diner 2011 venture in our local Old Vic Tunnels and not being particularly impressed with the food, I was curious to try this year’s proposition, antagonistically named “Italians do it Better’. Name apart, it was going to be a feast of contemporary Italian food and art. At the time of booking Massimo Bottura was even listed amongst the chefs! Moreover, seeing Paolo Marchi’s name associated with the event, put more weight on the whole thing…

A meal at Dabbous, Bloomsbury

A meal at Dabbous, Bloomsbury

***this restaurant has since closed down*** Some three months ago someone mentioned Dabbous. I knew nothing about it but how could I resist booking a table at what looked like a really interesting place to visit? So I opted the first available date, for a far away day in May. What seemed ages away quickly arrived and by now, Dabbous had been visited by worthy critics and fellow bloggers, and the expectations were mounting. Reservations were as coveted as a…
