Bunny Abroad

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!

 …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….?

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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…
