Arbor Restaurant, Bournemouth
Although quiet for lunch in the week ( which I loved), Arbor was a bright and breezy place to dine.
Food tasted like it had just been grown in the kitchen. The restaurant was covid safe. Staff were attentive. Great lunch time dining experience.

Yosma
A TURKISH MEYHANE, MANGAL & RAKI BAR INSPIRED BY THE STREETS OF ISTANBUL.
I love Turkish food and eat it often; so it was an absolute delight to find a restaurant in Baker Street that doesn’t do generic Turkish food but excellent Turkish food with a twist. Every dish melted in the mouth from the bread and humous to the lamb dumplings. Even the salad was amazing. Mouthwatering, with excellent ingredients where I could taste the quality. This is a true find for Turkish cuisine. Beautifully presented and served with a smile. Easily the best Turkish inspired restaurant I have eaten at in London thus far.
Edith’s House N8
If you need cake; and let’s face it, at some time in life, even if you are savoury, you need cake, then look no further. Well if you are in North London look no further. Specifically Crouch End. White chocolate Scones and condiments like black pepper and raspberry? Whaaaaaat? Yes they do have more foodie stuff because a place can’t survive on flour alone, but if you crave the sweet Edith’s House is a treat.
Alice’s Adventures Underground
The Vaults at Waterloo are playing host to an amazing version of Alice in Wonderland. A show that draws you into the world of nonsense and makes you play along with the characters. I don’t want to be a spoiler but it’s an outrageously fun 90 minutes of mayhem. The sets and costumes, intricate and curious. Twists and turns in every room. Unpredictability is the name of the game. I laughed with wonder and humour for the full duration. Puppetry and dance, comedic turns coupled with a lot of being bossed around in the madness. Watch out for the Queen of Hearts! There is a children’s version and an adult version and it’s not on for long. If you can – do it! Photos aren’t allowed inside so I offer my snapshot above. If you wanted to ever visit Wonderland they have made it possible.

Gymkhana
Where to begin with the feast that was laid before us? Gymkhana, needs some booking ahead. Why? Because if you like this sort of food they are at the top of the game in London. I use opentable, book one month ahead and take the £35 tasting menu for a late lunch. Oh you may think it may not look much as a three course meal (you can do four courses should you wish) But I dare you to roll out of that restaurant wanting more.
Traiteur – New London N4 Restaurant
The other night I went with my friends to the new hot Spot, Traiteur in Crouch Hill. Anything new in The Manor I need to know about and quickly. Well well well, what a fantastic find.
The above was a surprise gazpacho with crab Hors d’ouevre for us to have before our meal.
As soon as I took a bite of the beef short rib Croustillant, I wished that it would never end. But I’m greedy so I ate it in about one minute and felt sad it was gone after. It tastes better than my picture. I then had gnocchi, which is one of my favourites and it did not disappoint. No packet gnocchi here. Everyone had enviable meals. I wanted to go back again the next day.
This place is not fancy to sit in, but it’s intimate and it works. The only downside is BYOB. We didn’t pay corkage and if you own this restaurant – do not charge corkage please. You will ruin what is an amazing thing that has happened and annoy people like me who would write about it. I have a feeling that they won’t be there for long and it will expand quickly, so If I was anyone interested in food in London, I would book IMMEDIATELY.
They also cater for events. My birthday is soon and this is happening all over again.
