During my last few weeks in London, I couldn’t wait to show my dad my favourite restaurant in Mayfair called Sketch. It’s a huge cluster of uniquely-designed, eclectic restaurants in a gorgeous Grade II listed townhouse. There’s a casual cafe, a forest room specialising in ‘Afternoon Tea,’ a brand-new pink room recently renovated (above), a three-michelin […]
I recently went to Dans le Noir in London. A dining concept where you eat your meal in pitch darkness, served by blind guides. It was incredible and nothing I’ve ever experienced before. My friend Rosie and I got dolled up (rather pointless I must admit) and madly rushed over to Farringdon in true london style. […]
My last few days in Abu Dhabi were perfectly relaxing – just what I needed. My trip there mostly involved lots of time by the pool, gym, shopping, waterpark rides, movies and the most wonderful brunch at the Emirates Palace. Ok, that probably doesn’t sound very relaxing at all. I always feel I need to make the most of […]
Imagine looking out to clear, blue waters while sat outside at an elegant restaurant, eating deliciously fresh seafood. Welcome to Nammos Restaurant by the Sea, a greek gem on Psarou beach, Mykonos. The food is excellent quality, simple and light. The atmosphere is happening, with the whole restaurant transforming in to one big party later in the afternoon. Think party […]
To continue with the Japanese fine-dining theme I have taken on, I decided to book a table at the decadent Matsuhisa in the Belvedere Hotel, Mykonos. This is another one of chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s ‘New Style Japanese Cuisine’ restaurants. Just the same as Nobu (perhaps you’re familiar with these popular restaurants dotted around the world), […]
Roka is well known in London, specializing in sushi and robatayaki cuisine. Little sister to Zuma, Rainer Becker is the founder of these contemporary and stylish restaurants. I went to Roka in Mayfair during my whirlwind tour of fine-dining Japanese restaurants in London, and for me it’s up there as one of the best. There are three Roka’s in London – […]
Let’s face it, thinking about calories, how many hours you’ve clocked at the gym and whether you’ve done your daily push-up count is the last thing that’s on your mind when you’re enjoying your holiday. However you don’t want to leave being strong, fit and healthy, to only return looking like jabba the hutt. This […]
Here is my idea of the perfect luxury itinerary in London, all tried and tasted. This city has an incredible amount to offer, not only the must-see sights but also fine-dining, pampering and shopping. Go on..we all deserve to splurge once in a while! Day 1 Morning Champagne breakfast at the Wolseley. This cafe-restaurant has a grand […]
My main birthday meal last week was at the popular Japanese eatery Zuma in Knightsbridge. A big lover of fine-dining, I made it my mission to read a LOT of foodie-blog restaurant reviews and compiled a list of must-visit restaurants in London. It is pretty long! Since I’ll be returning to London a lot in the […]
For my birthday celebration last week, my sister and I had 5 very luxurious days in London. We spoiled ourselves rotten, this involved a lot of fine-dining, pampering and cocktail drinking. One of the best celebration treats was afternoon tea at the The Langham Hotel. There are so many luxury 5-star hotels in London that […]
