This is a great little pub on Marylebone road. The décor is really nice with chandeliers above the bar, big comfy seats, and they have a room for hire upstairs. I had smoked haddock fish cakes and home made potato wedges, served with salad. Portions are very good. The air-conditioning is not best resolved in here so it can be a bit cold even on a sunny day. Some people say that the crowd can be snobbish but I didn’t notice. The biggest downside is that it’s a smoking venue but with seating outside and during lunch hour it wasn’t smoky at all.

This is such a gem. It’s a small place near Covent Garden that does amazing food and the BEST cheese cake in town. It’s passion fruit cheese cake which melts in your mouth and leaves tangy taste of passion fruit. It’s so light (ok it feels that way) that it doesn’t make you fat! They have a great deli, my favourite is vegetarian lasagne which it’s served with salad. They do classical south American black beans with sausage which is also nice but can be a bit heavy for me. Soups are also good and they have a good wine list including a rose which you can’t always find in small places like that. The seating is simple, wooden benches and it can feel a bit squashy if it’s full.

This is another takeaway deli/restaurant/bar place. I love going here for a quick bite to eat or meet girlies for a lunch. They make lovely soups, and always have a 3-5 hot dishes – fish, pasta, quiches etc. There is a wonderful selection of breads and they do pancakes till 6pm (please check as it may vary). To sit down is a bit more expensive but the service is nice and it’s all beautifully done with thick linen table clots all perfectly clean. There is a restaurant at the back but I never been there.
