DF/Mexico

Delicious Eats: DF Mexico

Location: Old Truman Brewery, Hanbury Street, E1 6QR

Cost: £17 for starter, main and margarita

I love Mexican food, so its actually surprising I don’t eat out at Mexican places more often but that just means when I do, I’m totally excited and therefore order way too much. After deciding to head to DF Mexico I made the mistake of looking at the menu online and after seeing pictures of their delicious looking food – it felt like torture when I couldn’t order the whole menu.

Tozi

Delicious Eats: Tozi

Cost £30 for a few small plates, dessert and some wine

If you like tapas and you like italian food Tozi is the place for you. Found attached to the Park Plaza Hotel in Victoria, this restaurant is a great place for a dinner with friends or an intimate date . The atmosphere is lovely as you walk in it is low lit with soft lighting and candles, comfortable leather chairs and perfectly placed table settings. The open kitchen is a  great addition as you can see the wood fire burning ready for your pizza orders.

The Bayou Soul

Delicious Eats: The Bayou Soul

Location: 20 Inverness Street, Camden, NW1 7HJ

Cost: £30 for a few drinks, starter and main (but you could get away with less!)

The Bayou Soul pretty much has it all for a great night out. A happy hour with £5 cocktails from 5pm – 7pm, an extensive creole menu and great live music. A couple of us arrived early to sit at the bar and try couple of of the cocktails. I recommend trying the Bayou Sour – amaretto, lemon juice, sugar syrup, egg white and a tiny dash of coffee. Its hard to describe how it tastes – weird but good!

No matter what time of day you head to Kopapa you will be assured a delicious meal. I’ve been for brunch, lunch and dinner and each time was torn over the delicious sounding items on the menu and extremely happy with each of my choices.

Most American food lovers in London aren’t strangers to the Big Easy and I’ve been wanting to go for ages and when a branch opened up in Covent Garden it made it a lot easier for me to visit.

Mien Tay

Delicious Eats: Mien Tay

Location: 180 Lavender Hill, Battersea, London SW11 5TQ and 122 Kingsland Road, Shoreditch, E2 8DP

Cost: £12 for a starter and main.

Mien Tay has long been one of my favourite places to eat in London. I often flit between the Lavender Hill branch in Battersea and the Kingsland Road Branch in Shoreditch. And while I do change up location, I have to admit I very rarely stray away from the same two menu items.  I always start with pork and prawn fresh rolls – the dipping sauce is amazing, i have to refrain from licking the dish clean. The rolls are always indeed fresh and tasty. Stopping at just one order is tough.

Goode & Wright

Delicious Eats: Goode & Wright

Location: 271 Portobello Road, W11 1LR, London

Cost: £10 for a sandwich and coffee

We’d been walking along Portobello Road in the rain for about 20 minutes trying to find somewhere to get some food. Admittedly, there were plenty of places to eat but we were feeling a bit fussy. We wanted somewhere with a simple menu, that didn’t cost much, that was cosy and comfortable out of the rain and that had seats for us to sit down and get a nice warm drink. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Goode & Wright, warm lights coming out of brown wooden doors tucked behind a market stall. It was the perfect place.

My friend Danielle and I had trouble choosing from the menu. All of the food looked tasty – fresh ingredients, simple meals and best of all – coffee! I had a bacon, avocado and tomato sandwich and being unable to choose Danielle ordered French toast and avocado on toast. The food came out quickly, and we enjoyed our well made coffee, our hot tasty food and the atmosphere. The service was great and it was hard to get up and head out back into the rainy weather.

I was so busy eating and enjoying the atmosphere that I didn’t take any photos sorry. You will just have to trust me and check it out for yourself!

Patty & Bun

Delicious Eats: Patty & Bun

Location: 54 James Street, London W1U 1HE

Cost: £15 for a burger, fries and beer

After having the best burger in my life ever in New York City, I’ve always found it hard to really appreciate a good burger here in London. In fact, I’ve almost gone off even attempting to find one as good because lets face it – it wont be. However I have to say after a visit to Patty & Bun it came pretty close.

Kêu

Delicious Eat: Kêu

Location: 9 Poland Street, London W1F 8PY. Also found in Shoreditch

Cost: £10ish for a Banh Mi and drink

I love Vietnamese food but if i’m honest when I order I barely branch away from a big bowl of vermicelli salad or a hot pho. They are just so good and constantly tasty that its hard to try something new.  I was excited to try out Kêu and even though they serve bowls I finally branched out and tried a Banh Mi.

Duck & Waffle

Delicious Eats: Duck & Waffle

Address: 110 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4AY

Cost: Around £25 for a main and coffee

Duck and Waffle has been on my restaurant to visit list for ages and when James’s birthday came around we had the perfect excuse to flash out a little and book a weekend brunch date at the highest restaurant in London. Booking for such an exclusive spot meant I was booking the table for 2 about 6 weeks in advance but it was worth the long weight just for the views alone. Even though the place is open 24/7 its a popular place and timings were tight!
