The Michelin results considered Saturday, February 10th, 2007
Good meals at the High Road Brasserie and Royal China. The Michelin results are (except France) mostly in, and an odd lot they are.

Classy South Indian food in Chennai Saturday, January 27th, 2007
Blogging from India! Some classy South Indian food in Chennai in particular. Also, Michelin makes some surprising choices in the UK.
Bonds stock is high Saturday, January 20th, 2007
Bonds does a good meal despite a bear market in customers. A new tapas bar in Twickenham works well. Haandi continues to impress.
The sublime to the ridiculous of Italian food Saturday, January 13th, 2007
Two good bistro meals at Tom's Kitchen and High Road Brasserie, and from the sublime to the ridiculous of Italian food: Zafferano v Vino Rosso in Chiswick
Maze reviewed Saturday, January 06th, 2007
A generally good meal at Maze, despite dangling wine glasses.
The classy Yauatcha Saturday, December 30th, 2006
A tasty meal at Eight Over Eight in Chelsea and an even better dinner at Yauatcha.
Pearl gleams Saturday, December 23rd, 2006
Pearl turns out to be very good value for such a smart place, and the Good Curry Awards has some odd choices.
The ever-improving Notting Hill Brasserie Saturday, December 16th, 2006
A fine meal at the ever-improving Notting Hill Brasserie, and a general whinge about the cost of eating out on Christmas day.
Royal China Club reviewed Saturday, December 09th, 2006
Reviews of Royal China Club, the Brackenbury and La Trompette and how fire engines kept me from a new Chiswick restaurant
Stephen Black leaves Berkeley Square Friday, December 01st, 2006
Tragedy as Stephen Black leaves Berkeley Square, but on the bright side a smart new Vietnamese restaurant opens in Smithfield.
Tom's Kitchen opens Friday, November 24th, 2006
Tom's Kitchen is a great success, and Zafferano continues to deliver top Italian cooking.
1 Lombard Street shows how not to do front of house Friday, November 17th, 2006
A lengthy meal at 1 Lombard Street interspersed with stroppy service, but reliable fish and chips in St John Street. Fine curries at Rasa Samudra and the Brilliant.
Good south Indian cooking comes to Hammersmith Saturday, November 11th, 2006
Tasty South Indian cooking at Oottupura, reliable Chinese food at Royal China and ups and downs (but mostly downs) in Chiswick at Vacherin and new opening Carvosso's.
Sonnys in Barnes gets a new chef Saturday, November 04th, 2006
Excellent new chef at Sonnys in Barnes, top Indian food at Haandi and a sneak visit to the Gourmet Burger Kitchen.
Sabras in Willesden is terrific Saturday, October 21st, 2006
Read about my visit to Ledbury. My review on Sabras in Willesden and also some important information about the Good Food Guide forcing councils to publish hygiene inspections of restaurants.
3 star Can Fabes revisited Saturday, October 14th, 2006
3 star Can Fabes near Barcelona is very good though less so than previous visits. The Michelin Guide to California comes out, and I have both a fine Indian meal at Haandi and a dismal one at Green Chilli.
Roussillon revisited Saturday, October 07th, 2006
The 2007 Good Food Guide hits the bookshelves. Roussillon delivers an excellent meal. Chiswick gets a new gastropub, and a decent one it is.
Atelier Robuchon hits London. Saturday, September 30th, 2006
Atelier Robuchon hits London. It is good food, but the price is high. Mehek betrays no reason whatever for its recent award at the British Curry Awards.
The British Curry Awards is bewildering Saturday, September 23rd, 2006
Deya produces a fine meal, while the British Curry Awards is bewildering despite the glamour. Zafferano excels itself.
Three London starred restaurants Saturday, September 16th, 2006
Pied a Terre produces a very fine meal. Yauatcha and Zafferano also show why they have Michelin stars.
The Brackenbury is the ideal local bistro Saturday, September 09th, 2006
The Brackenbury shows how to do local bistro when so many others disappoint. The Thai Bistro is simple but pleasant.
Sumosan reviewed Saturday, September 02nd, 2006
Sumosan is pleasant, but why not just go to Zuma? Ootapura is a different and good addition to the King Street array of Indian places.
The Square revisited Monday, August 28th, 2006
The Square purrs along, though it lacks real excitement. Jeevan in Wembley is not worth the trip.
Eight Over Eight reviewed Sunday, August 20th, 2006
Eight Over Eight in Chelsea is identical in appearance to E&O, and fortunately the food is almost as good as well. Bentleys shows why you should never go to a fish restaurant on a Monday.
The oddness that is Cocoon Saturday, August 12th, 2006
Cocoon is like an Austin Powers set, but the food is surprisingly good. Zafferano produces a fine wild sea bass dish.
Pied a Terre reopens Sunday, August 06th, 2006
Pied a Terre shines after its reopening. Zuma shows why it is so popular, and Patara is the best Thai restaurant in London. High Road House opens in Chsiwcik, and the luvvies love it.
