Today I stopped by Victoria & Albert Museum for a bite to eat and to see an exhibit. I had read that the dining hall was beautiful, but I wasn’t quite prepared for this. (more…)
This time we just popped in for a drink and a snack. I opted for a whisky sour, which was made with homemade sour mix and included an egg white… and it shouldn’t be made any other way. For snacks we shared a terrine of pork and chicken livers with perfectly toasted rustic bread, and I hoarded the Carlingford rock oysters for myself. Perfect little briny jewels, they were. (more…)
Peri Peri chicken with spiced rice and the yummiest peas I’ve ever had. They’re very reminiscent of my goat cheese, mint & pea pasta.

Last night I was craving veggies, so we headed down the street to a Lebanese restaurant I had passed by a few times. I was rewarded with this amazing Greek salad, whose greens were cut into a chiffonade, just the way I like them! We also tried the spinach pie which was delicately spiced and quite nice, as well as the grilled kafta. While the kafta itself could have used a little more seasoning, when paired with the garlicky chili sauce, fresh onions and parsley, and the flatbread with some amazing spiced spread inside, there was no want for flavor. Finished off with a bit of baklava, the meal certainly hit the spot.
