Bodeans is a little slice of the American homeland located in the middle of Soho. This split-level diner offers an American diner style eatery, and can be a good place to drop in for a hefty lunch of pulled pork sandwiches or subs. It’s a great place to hang out with friends and gorge over meaty dishes and steak.
Bodean’s dishes are real authentic American BBQ and feature only the biggest of portions including full racks of baby back ribs, chargrilled steaks and famous burnt ends. Although these in particular don’t …

I had noticed this little gem a couple of times before dropping in for breakfast one Saturday morning. Located a short walk away from Bethnal Green tube station, this is a perfect spot for a healthy Saturday morning breakfast.
A nice alternative to the regular fry-up, these vegetarian dishes are really tasty and can make a pleasant break from the usual sausage and eggs stodgy filled affair. I’m quite an avid meat eater but still really enjoyed the breakfast platter of tomatoes and basil sauce, potatoes and mushrooms served with vegetarian …

I, like most people am addicted to sugary goods and a complete chocoholic, so when I first found Cyber Candy I felt like exploding. This shop is literally a godsend! Basically the company was started in 1999 by a family in North London and has expanded into two shops - one in Covent Garden and one on North Laine in Brighton. It seems like their mission is to destroy everyone’s teeth with amazing sweeties and wall bouncing caffeine drinks from all over the globe.
The shop has everything you have ever …

Here are my top 3 favourite places (in order of taste preference) to buy, eat and enjoy delectable cupcakes in London, in all their purely delightful glory. You could even start your own cupcake crumb trail by starting out at Lola’s and working your way along Oxford Street to Peyton and Byrne, before jumping on the 55 bus at New Oxford …

I absolutely love Mexican food, something about the fresh meat, massive portions and slightly healthy vibe brought by lettuce and tomatoes really do it for me. Also I love the textures Mexican dishes offer. As my girlfriend will attest, I firmly believe any dish can be made better by covering it with cheese!
As a result of this addiction I have eaten my way through a fair number of burritos since living in London and thought I’d share some of the best places to grab some tacos or party Mexican …

After a long day at work and struggling through the crowds on the central line, I like nothing more than to relax somewhere where you can guarantee you’ll get some good food, a great atmosphere and generally just a nice time. I also like hunting out little hideaways in London which make me smile and are all unique in their own way. Here is my list of hidden food gems, just for you. Remember not to tell everyone though…….
Fika – 161a Brick Lane, E1 6SB
A favourite of mine, Fika is …

Samuel Smiths Brewery pubs are a perfect example of something London has to offer that you might that you might not find out about until a Londoner mentions it.
I was first introduced to a Samuel Smiths pub by someone I knew living in London the first thing that struck me about the pub was that they are pretty much the cheapest pint in London at around just over two pound a pint.
The longer I lived in London the more of these pubs I discovered mainly on lunch breaks from work …
