This week I try Yupa’s Thai Kitchen and Polpo, and return to Kitchen W8, Clos Maggiore, Autre Pied and Tangawizi

This week I try Honeymoon, and revisit Le Café Anglais and Budsara. I also visit Copenhagen.

This week I try Café 209 and return to the Harwood Arms

Things are not well at Sonny’s. I try the Princess Victoria, and revisit Helene Darroze, Patara and Royal China.

This week saw a fine meal at the Brackenbury, tasty Thai food from the Fulham Road branch of Patara and another excellent curry at Madhu's in Southall. I also have a new toy.

The Thai Bistro is no more, but Budsara is born in its place. Hawksmoor produces a fine steak, while Deya serves up some terrific Indian dishes. I get a further lesson on why it is unwise to leave the tube network when eating, this time in Warwickshire.

A superb meal at Tantris in Munich, though a poor one at Acetaia. Back in London, Boxwood Cafe is disappointing and a chain burger beats its signature dish. I have an "Invasion of the Bodysnatchers" moment in Chiswick.

The Brackenbury shows how to do local bistro when so many others disappoint. The Thai Bistro is simple but pleasant.

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.
