Chotto Matte – London

February 15, 2019.Reading time 7 minutes.

You know these uber-trendy bars in movies? Where Will Smith hangs out in Hitch or Emily Blunt would go to in the Devil Wears Prada (some serious cinematographic references going on here…)? This is exactly how Chotto Matte looks like when you enter. Everybody is polished and beautiful, the lights are dimmed, the music is […]

L’Oculto Restaurant – London

February 5, 2019.Reading time 7 minutes.

Today’s place is a special one. We moved to Lewisham almost 3 years ago and it didn’t take us long to find L’Oculto Tapas Bar. It very quickly became one of our favourite places in the Borough, if not the whole of London! Each time we visited, I was so busy enjoying the wine and […]

Hoppers – London

February 1, 2019.Reading time 8 minutes.

Today’s place isn’t new, neither is it off the beaten track. It is quite the opposite actually! Hoppers has been open for a while, it has incredible reviews and it couldn’t be more central even if it tried. I still think it is worth sharing my first visit there with you so we can see […]

The Horniman Museum and Gardens – London

January 17, 2019.Reading time 6 minutes.

London has some of the biggest and most interesting museums in the world. It is amazing to have access to so much culture and beautiful objects for free, but sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming. On the days you still want to immerse yourself in the charming and inspiring atmosphere of an old museum […]

Greenwich Grind – London

January 8, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

Although Greenwich is a fantastic neighbourhood to explore until recently it had never been a place we headed to for a mid-week dinner out. It didn’t have many eateries and we had exhausted most options a long time ago. Of course, Greenwich had (and still does have) a fantastic food market and some lovely cafes, […]

The Wallace Collection – London

November 29, 2018.Reading time 6 minutes.

Today I am taking you to one of the most beautiful yet underrated museums in London. I had visited the Big Smoke about 7 times before moving there and I have been a Londoner for now almost 8 years, yet I only went to The Wallace Collection for the first time last Monday. It is […]

Market Hall Victoria – London

November 22, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

It is no secret that I love a good food market, I also happen to live in one of the cities with some of the best and most diverse food courts. In London, every neighbourhood has at least a couple of food street venues. They are great places to meet with friends, grab some drinks […]

Sapporo Ichiban – London

November 9, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

Since our trip to Japan, Andrew and I became real Japanese food snobs. It has become more difficult for us to be impressed by any restaurant serving Japanese delicacies. Once you had a taste of the real deal it is hard to not compare everything to it. However, if we come across a Japanese restaurant […]
