Who’s a Toby?

bunny — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 17:22:59 +0000

Bunny is starting to feel the toll of a week of splurging out…lunch at the Toby Carvery was good too

I want to be an Argentine Cowboy in my next life!

bunny — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 17:15:04 +0000

Bunny and friends went for it at the Gaucho Grill in South Kensington…I am still full, but it was the best steak ever - worth every penny and calorie

Ciao bella!

bunny — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 17:04:49 +0000

Bunny found Italian restaurant where they serve prosecco by the glass…bellissimo! (food was very good too, and they allowed me cheese on my seafood risotto) All prepared now for upcoming trip to Bologna

Ta-ta-tapas…?

bunny — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 23:16:17 +0000

Bunny and friend tested Imli….very nice and not too pricey

(though we only ended up there because Princi was too busy (as usual))….

Not been yet….

bunny — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 19:53:53 +0000

…but the Fish Place in Vicentia Court looks promising…

Liquid lunch…

bunny — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 15:03:25 +0000

Checking out El Pirata Detapas in Westbourne Grove…delicious tapas, however what really got us going was the bar menu…speak about liquid lunch

Battersea nights

bunny — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:36:35 +0000

After a week of late night socialising AND full-on stress at work plus long days of shopping for Kitty, we opted for an easy outdoor dinner at Battersea Rickshaw on the Square. Enjoyable Indian cuisine, and the waiter and chef did their best to adhere to Kitty’s dietary requirements. Arriving quite late we were probably also the last guests to leave, well, what can you do about those late night licences….?

Riverside life…

bunny — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:33:24 +0000

Bunny still loves riverside living. What is better than a leisurely stroll down to the Waterfront for a cold drink and some snacks? And in in the evening, dining in Thai on the River… OK, perhaps slow service, however great food and a great view while we were waiting…and two free glasses of wine for the delay…

Revolving around the Axis

bunny — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 10:45:44 +0000

Bunny had the pleasure of dining in Axis at One Aldwych with good friends. The reviews all state “a stunning new design by Mary Fox Linton and a new Modern British menu from former Marco Pierre White student Executive Chef Tony Fleming”…and guess what; they are right!

Also, great service – and you can’t beat a 3-course meal at that standard, including wine and tea…at just over £50

Buongiorno Principessa

bunny — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:14:41 +0000

Not finding a knight in shining armour on your night out in Soho? Or just a tad peckish? Why not try Princi in Wardour Street…sort of an Italian McDonald’s - except from that Rocco Princi is also known as‘the Armani of bread’. I loved my pizza swimming in cheese..but it was impossible to find a seat…

Post note: Went again – the olive bread sticks are a must try!!!

Happy sangrias :D

bunny — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:09:32 +0000

What a great surprise that happy hour in Las Iguanas means a BOGOF – buy one get one free The Waterloo branch is quite a noisy place, so we didn’t quite hear what the waitress said, see… Nevertheless, great place to go for a quick bite and a drink after work – high business suit factor, but hey…

Post note: Went once again, got table but did not get served for 45 minutes…left…disappointed!

Friday :D

bunny — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:25:01 +0000

…and Bank Holiday Weekend Bunny enjoyed a long lunch with her colleagues, at a nice little Italian restaurant…and of course had to accept their loyalty card, when just one more meal will get me a free glass of wine

And remember; The Notting Hill Carnival is on this weekend…will Bunny be there….?

Tick!

bunny — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 08:46:41 +0000

Bunny has now ticked another item off the “101 Things to do before you leave London” list – and visited Gordon’s Wine Bar, which is supposed to be London’s oldest. As it was a nice day we stayed on the outside terrace on Watergate Walk, but were duly impressed by the quirky inside part as well. Would be perfect for a romantic date

Fuel!

bunny — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 18:43:28 +0000

Great hangout in Covent Garden, perfect view of the buzz and free entertainment…yes, so it’s a tourist haunt and the prices are thereafter, but the food was nice, the wine cold and absolutely no parmesan nazi here, note the cheese next to my seafood pasta

Bonum vinum laetificat cor hominis :D

bunny — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:28:49 +0000

Good wine gladdens a person’s heart…so as I was sort of enjoying my bad mode I only had a Pepsi Max…

…and the fact that they do serve that instead of poor Diet Coke is not the only reason I like Coal, the outdoor tables are in the heart of downtown Wimbledon, so a prime spot for seeing who’s out and about…and the food is very good too, and decently priced.

You don’t get better grilled prawns outside of Portugal

Abbor!

bunny — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:37:10 +0000

So, back in Norway, and as much as Bunny likes wining and dining, nothing beats pan-fried perch from the Mangen Lake with new potatoes and sour cram sauce…tastes even better as I have caught and cleaned the damned thing myself – believe it or not

Delicious deli!

bunny — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:45:02 +0000

Bunny loves Kingston-upon-Thames, especially for the riverside pubs, and hence mostly enters the town from the railway station…then coming in from Norbiton last week I stumbled upon this absolutely fabulous deli, Sud Ovest, where I had a great and relatively cheap lunch, in very pleasant company (No parmesan-Nazi here).

The Long Dark Cream Tea time of the Soul

bunny — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 12:46:15 +0000

Bunny has hopped around and had tea in the most random places… like in the Cambridge Tea Room, Cannizaro Park, Kensington palace Orangery, Brighton, Eastbourne…and with clotted cream in Clovelly and with Sally Lunn’s buns in Bath. Last year Bunny has the great idea to get her friend Tea at the Ritz as a birthday present…and really, that was the works…worth every penny…a must do for a girlie trip to London

Lunchtime again…

bunny — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 18:14:25 +0000

While in the area, Bunny enjoyed another lunch in the sun, this time at Alessandra Sandwich Bar…very nice and good service Plus I got to watch half naked builders at work

The great Swedish tradition of fika

bunny — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:31:07 +0000

If you don’t fancy a bagel while in Brick Lane, why not try out this Swedish place…fika is such a great word

Scandinavian Kitchen is a good central London alternative…
