London restaurant reviews to help you avoid needless gout & wasted money.
Once tweeted about Scooby Doo... which got way out of hand.

Seafood and wacky decor get you in the door, but it’s the people watching that makes you come back to Bronek’s Fish Restaurant: https://t.co/Q0Dzywe3l5

The Speedboat Bar in Notting Hill has some fun takes on fast food, from instant noodles to McDonald’s-style pies. This definitely isn’t your average Thai restaurant: https://t.co/Hl2D8cYwHB

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

The Speedboat Bar in Notting Hill isn’t a green curry/red curry kind of Thai restaurant and it’s all the better for it: https://t.co/Hl2D8cYwHB

I had a stroke. And, for some reason, I wrote about it: https://t.co/OnGXV9gBr2

Even though akara is the namesake dish of West African restaurant Akara, the fish dishes are the real catch at this Borough Market powerhouse:

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

This pan-West African restaurant is a jack of all trades and master of fun. My review of Akara: https://t.co/hXxUCP0ZSN

London’s wild west, Chiswick, finally has its own barbecue restaurant. My review of L’il Nashville:

Let’s face it: Wagamama is shit and it probably won’t ever get any better. Once you’re ready to graduate from its clammy embrace, Sambal Shiok will be waiting: https://t.co/mPQKrHiAxW

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

It’s the small-menu laksa specialist that has something for everyone. My review of Sambal Shiok: https://t.co/mPQKrHj8nu

It’d be tempting to stick to Camille’s versions of classic French dishes, from pate en croute to confit duck. But then you’d miss out on their notable skill with gamier meats, such as mutton and venison: https://t.co/1shQVXGYZT

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

Don’t think of Camille as a French(ish) restaurant. Think of it as a restaurant with a remarkable panache for fish dishes: https://t.co/1shQVXHwPr

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

Something has gone terribly wrong when a French restaurant can’t knock out a consistently decent spread of desserts. My review of Café François: https://t.co/gln1sWW0yV

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

When is a French brasserie not really that French? When it’s Café François: https://t.co/gln1sWW0yV

A fellow nerd over on Mastodon described my review of Mayfair’s Fonda as ‘beautifully written… that at times shades into delightful bitchiness’. Agree or disagree? Read, then decide for yourself: https://t.co/BjieLioInj

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

Does distance makes the heart grow Fonda? Not when Mayfair does Mexican food like this, it doesn’t: https://t.co/BjieLioInj

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

There are very few taco places worth eating at in London and Guacamoles is one of them. Here’s what you should order and what you should skip this #tacotuesday: https://t.co/57v2rQqmKJ

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

If you know someone sceptical about Mexican food, then Guacamoles in Peckham could be pivotally Damascene in winning them over: https://t.co/57v2rQqmKJ

I went to the much-hyped Burnt Smokehouse in Leyton. Perhaps inevitably, I came away disappointed: https://t.co/gE0NbSkb7C

[Picky Glutton @pickyglutton]

Burnt’s barbecue isn’t exactly stuck in the past, but I certainly hope it’s not a taste of the future:

Pho Thuy Tay is the perfect place to start stepping out of your Vietnamese food comfort zone. If only because it serves offal, steamed or stir-fried: https://t.co/Q0XnYIvnql
