Great breakfast spot, they do a really good English breakfast and they always have the most tasty croissants in the area! Personally I'm not keen on the porridge though, its a bit too runny for me but that won't stop me going back.]]> Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:18:04 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/1593p6v/porridge1016560583 HelenMary 51.527399116312 -0.19080599692318 The Red Pepper Restaurant http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1c15a8/the-red-pepper-restaurant

This is a really good fun place to meet friends, they open the big doors at the front in the summer but they still have heaters so you won't feel cold. The pizza is great, particularly the pesto bread. For a little restaurant they have a pretty good wine list. The staff are always so much fun, they should be on stage! They can get quite busy so at weekends its best to book.]]> Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:12:11 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/145sp7/le-cochonnet706330696 HelenMary 51.527399116312 -0.19080599692318 Gustoso http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1503p7u/gustoso

I can't give them enough stars! I love this place if you can't be bothered to cook go for one of their home cooked ready meals I can highly recommend the lasagne or the chicken pie. They have an amazing cheese selection, the brie has become a habit for me! Another favourite is the carrot cake. The best thing about Gustoso is that is so reasonable and the staff are always super friendly and very helpful, I can't rave about this place enough!]]> Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:08:44 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1503p7u/gustoso947908268 HelenMary 51.527399116312 -0.19080599692318 S & M Cafe http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1u4127h/s-and-m-cafe

When I'm down my partner always takes me here for lobster & chips, its the best in London. The food's great, the location's fantastic and the staff are amazing, so much fun, its dinner and show in one]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2007 20:52:20 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92j82/randall-and-aubin1016937849 HelenMary 51.512265 -0.134037 Gaucho Chancery http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/128ev7/gaucho-chancery

I'm not a big meat eater but I love the Gaucho Grill, probably because the steaks are so well done (in a perfect medium rare way). Probably best to skip lunch because its a lot of food. Our waiter was so lovely, and recommended the most delicious bottle of wine, it was a stunning meal and a very lovely evening.]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:06:36 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/128ev7/gaucho-chancery129047949 HelenMary 51.51433 -0.111248 Rosa's Dining Room http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1232u8q/rosa-s-dining-room

This is the loveliest place to go for dinner, its a bit like going to a friends house its so relaxed and the staff are very friendly (and usually very beautiful), and the food is British home-cooking at its very best. Best for cold winter evenings as there's always something hearty and warming on the menu. Make sure you dress up, as you quite often see celebs there, last time I went I sat near Ruby Wax and the time before Colin Firth.]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2007 15:59:18 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1232u8q/rosa-s-dining-room2055457323 HelenMary 51.518478560978 -0.19548373360485 Bumpkin http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o62s7o/bumpkin

I stumbled upon this restaurant when I was in desperate need for some comfort food. Its the perfect place for Sunday lunch, the roast beef was lovely and the Yorkshire puddings were huge. If pavlova is on the menu I highly recommend you have it because its divine! Its a little pricey but I'll definitely be going back probably next time to try the whisky room I've heard so much about.]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2007 15:45:47 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o62s7o/bumpkin974973555 HelenMary posh Sunday lunch british mature family & home feel expensive trendy friendly Cozy relaxed 51.516769640016 -0.20131662168326 Sofra http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1l5106h/sofra

Don't be put off by the way this place looks, the outside looks a little off putting, I've been here several times and the food has always been very good. Feel smug by opting for the healthy option lunch menu, there's stacks of food and its all incredibly tasty]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2007 15:37:51 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1l5106h/sofra576682734 HelenMary 51.515086885189 -0.15093793829089
