Chamberlain’s in Leadenhall still Sole of the City

Leadenhall Market on a mild Friday evening and despite earnest talk of “big fishes” from the bankers and brokers clutching pints at the Lamb Tavern, the seaside couldn’t feel further away. That is, of course, until the waiter at

Himalayan hot combo at Madame D’s

There was a time, long before Cronuts, when “fusion cuisine” was not the buzzword of big city dining, but simply a product of migration. The Bangladeshis arrived in Britain and came up with chicken tikka masala, the California roll came about after a Japanese chef...

Vita Mojo gets personal, tailoring dishes to your DNA

SHOULD your diet be high-fat or low-fat? Low-carbohydrate or low-sugar? Atkins or Paleo? Carnivore or vegetarian? We know more now than ever before about how the food we eat affects our bodies, and yet all this extra knowledge seems to be throwing up more questions...

Sourced Market arrives at the Barbican

The Barbican probably doesn’t seem like the most obvious spot for deli-style restaurant and food store Sourced Market to begin making its mark in the Square Mile. Tucked in opposite the Golden Lane Estate in a fairly deserted patch of Goswell Road,...

Moorgate diner Bad Egg is back and better than ever

The London dining scene is famously fickle. Restaurants are seasonal affairs, trendy pop-ups are here one day, down south the next, and our insatiable hunger for the ‘Next Big Thing’ has made standing reservations at old faithfuls a thing of the past. So when Moorgate all-day...

City rooftop bars worth taking the stairs for this summer

Springtime in London, and while the months spent coddled in the warm, slightly sticky embrace of the Capital’s cosy pubs were great and all, there’s something not quite right about sitting inside on a (semi) warm evening. Sure, a pint on the pavement will suffice,...

Hammer & Tongs dishes up high maintenance meat

Power up with Gaucho’s Electro Brunch
