London is a great place for a day out , a bit of sightseeing and of course it is continuously being built to accommodate new restaurants , businesses and attractions .
If you happen to be spending a weekend in London , or you live close by and want to find some great place to catch a bite of some delicious food look no further than my three great recommendations :)
M1lk , on 20 Bedford Hill , Balham .. It's an all- day Cafe which is off the beaten path as you get on the London food scene and so worth it ! Don't let the line out the door stop you . The Aussie couple behind this spot don't take reservations and also happen to make the best breakfasts in town . In fact so popular is M1lk that they had to double in size this year . Their brunch menu is delightfully laden dishes like the Sweet Maria , a sweetcorn fritter and halloumi extravaganza or the equally popular Convict , an English muffin topped with sausage, bacon ,eggs and hash browns . The coffee is pretty excellent too . Dinner might be on the horizon as well . They have started hosting a series of " Lates " at the restaurant and are inviting chefs from near and far to come play !
Gunpowder , 11 White's Row , Spitalfields .. This fancied Indian seems to be the trend in London at the moment with more and more modernized gourmet offerings popping up right , left and all over town . One of the standouts , is this new spot that's serving up home style Indian in a cleverly restored ex-curry house . Here there are small plates made for sharing like the Chattinad Pulled Duck and the Spicy Venison and Vermicelli Doughnut , the creation of Chef Nimal Save of the Oberoi in Mumbai . Fun fact the name Gunpowder is a fun twist as it happens to be located right near London's old artillery and is also a reference to the old classic spice mix of the same name !
Casa Cruz , 123 Clarendon road , Holland Park . This is Argentian restaurateur Juan Santa Cruz's very first venture in London . This is a restaurant with a very clubby feel serving up European dishes with an Argentian bent --ie protein heavy dishes like beef carpacchio and a perfect blackened chicken . With it's dark clad velvet walls , a stunning copper bar as a central feature in the middle of the dinning room and decidedly dim lighting . This newly opened eatery has serious sex appeal and is a perfect venue to rent as a whole for a party . The upstairs which includes a secluded and leafy terrace ( for London's good weather ;) ) is also available for rent !
Definitely a treat and a reason to go out and celebrate the New Year 2016 . Check out these beautiful food spots and bring in the New Year with a bang . Good food and alcohol can make you forget any troubles ;)
Keep smiling , and have a great day !
Love & Peace xx
