Afternoon Tea at Corinthia Hotel, Embankment
Afternoon tea can be had for £58 pp with additional glass of Laurent-Perrier. This is one I will be thinking of ardently, and returning to imminently.
Brunch at Q Grill, Camden
I love a good brunch, and Q Grill do it very well. There are papers to flick lazily through, and the ambience is deliciously unhurried.
Pizza Pilgrims, Revisited
Fluffy crusts and the typical dotted charring on the undersides make up the Neapolitan pizza at Pizza Pilgrims. Ingredients include fior de latte, pecorino, and egg yolks.
A Stunning Dinner at Mele E Pere, Soho
The best of the mains is a 1.2kg T-bone steak, kissed with charcoal and sliced to reveal blushing insides, its Jurassic-proportioned bone overflowing a wrought iron pan.
Cakes at Cocomaya, Sloane Square
Cocomaya is the sweet-shop collaboration between a trio of fashions biggest names including the former head of concept at Liberty and Agent Provocateur co-founder Serena Rees.
A gorgeous dinner at Comptoir Gascon, Farringdon
The phrase used 'douceur de vivre’ (sweetness of life), is adopted with ease and, like its Basque muse, Comptoir Gascon focuses mainly on duck, foie gras and truffle.
