Last weekend I had a taste of Italy in my own East London backyard, or back Alley in this case. The Moretti Gran Tour London is back after a successful summer run with “The Winter Edition” at The Lofts. “The Lofts” is PR speak for empty and hard to find warehouse space, but this makes the perfect…

Coppa: Rooftop Sun While It Lasts
London’s weather was in a indecisive mood the day I made an unwise decision to visit Coppa. With a group of girlfriends we made the trek though london fields and eventually managed to find Coppa’s hidden stairwell entrance. It may seem dingy at first glance, but this hidden stairwell leads to a rooftop terrace of…
Burger Day With Hache
To celebrate National Burger Day yesterday I visited my local Shoreditch Hache Burger joint. Burger Day, in association with Mr Hyde, offered 20% off our burgers so, as the saying goes, “any excuse…”. The burgers read like a list of ethnicities; the Catalan, the Mexican, the Canadian, the Louisiana etc. I tried the Catalan which…
Bistrotheque: Worth A Game Of Hide And Seek
Bistrotheque embodies the current dining trend for “luxe squat” style east London locations. This Hackney hotspot can get hipster brunch lovers all excited with its unmarked industrial location, (it took me 30 mins to find an unmarked door and nervously descend a staircase to Who Knows Where) but caters to the YUPIs and foodies with…
The Frugal Foodie: Patty And Bun
I’m currently on the search to find London’s best burger, and Patty & Bun is currently sitting in first place for the title. I visited the Liverpool Street branch and tried a burger, wings and skin-on-fries and it was the highlight of my week. With just a few seats this is hardly a fine dinning…
Raised To Great Heights – Sushi Samba
Who wants everyday Japanese when you can have you raw fish with a view? Nobody right? I guess that’s what Sushi Samba’s creators thought when they decided to open a London branch in Heron Tower. Sushi Samba is the ultimate summer date location, with a delicious menu of Japanese with a twist, fabulous service, and…
Dalston Street Feast
Street food markets are nothing new to London, but, with a temperamental climate, it’s hardly the ideal city for dining alfresco. Street Feast’s creators have hit the money with their current Dalston venue. Technically it’s still outdoors enough to keep the word “Street” but it’s covered enough to keep business coming in any weather. The…
Just Opened: Brooklyn Coffee
They’ve just celebrated their one month anniversary in one of the trickiest coffee selling environments known to man – a hot london summer! But, despite the call of cold cider elsewhere, Brooklyn Coffee has quickly managed to gain a reputation for having the best coffee on Commercial Road – and certainly holds it’s own on…
London’s Best: Chalk Board Signs
Despite all this newfangled advertising technology all around us, the marketing that really catches our attention is as simple as a few choice words on a piece of wood painted black… Fleet Street Press Coffee has the best chalk boards in The CIty, their signs can bring a smile to even the grumpiest commuter and busiest banker… Even…
Street Food In Rabat, Morocco
Should You Eat Street Food In Rabat? Yes, Here’s Why. The medina of Rabat is a far cry from the souks of crowded Marrakech and the perfect place to find street food in Rabat. The lesser-known capital has barely a tourist in sight, and the shopkeepers, rather than hassling you, are almost dismissive. This…
