Dean Street Townhouse

This restaurant has to be one of my favourite restaurants of all time, especially for their breakfasts.

Having previously worked for the Soho House group, I know their policies when it comes to the food they produce, the menus, keeping in line with seasonality, and without fail the food is always great, no matter which restaurant from the group you go to.

But in my opinion Dean Street Townhouse is something really special. It has a very homely feel to it from the moment you step inside, with smiling staff. The decor is a combination between vintage with classic style.

The menu is packed with many delights, that it makes it hard to decide what you should eat. For me, breakfast is my favourite meal to have there, and this is why. Upon opening the menu, I usually have a good idea of what I want, which is usually the Eggs Benedict, but as you open the menu, there are loads of tasty delights to choose from.

Starting with the Bakery, there are fresh muffins and pastries, which are consistently tasty, or if pastries are not your thing, you can choose crumpets and preserves. Still if nothing appeals to you, let your eyes wonder further down the menu, there is everything from granola and yoghurt's, to poached pears with honey and Greek yogurt. Still nothing.... how about their beetroot hash with poached duck egg or the Full English? There are fresh juices and smoothies to go along with what ever you choose.

So if breakfast is your favourite meal of the day, or if you enjoy great British food, I would recommend Dean Street Townhouse. For me it is a must!!!

Maze Sushi


This is amazing, even for someone who cannot eat fish. (Nasty allergy)

As a chef I have always looked up to Gordon Ramsay, for his work ethic and passion for food. I've read all his books, from, Humble Pie to his team up with his Maze cookbook. The passion for food shines though in everything.

But what he has created now in Maze is something rather special, Maze Sushi. With the acclaimed Japanese Sushi Chef Gohei Kishi joining their already great team, success is inevitable.

Guests will be able to enjoy both Sushi and Sashimi, prepared in different ways, right at the counter, and lets not forget the selection of drinks that go as accompaniments to the dishes, both with the Sushi and the meals in the main restaurant.

If you are a Sushi and Sashimi fan then I highly recommend taking a look at Chef’s choice Sushi menu

Maze is one of my favourite restaurants, with incredible dishes. The a la carte menu is a 7 course menu, with the added option of taking the ‘unusual wine pairings’ or with the ‘prestige wine’ pairing.

Either way in my opinion, for the quality of food and service, I would recommend making a booking at Maze, or Maze Sushi.
