A good restaurant, worth trying. Fast service for a French restaurant. | |

HARROW -ON-THE
HILL 40 High St London, HA1 3LL Tel: 0208 423 2598 |
This is not a French Restaurant, the owners being Italian and Spanish,
and the cuisine being from all over the place; the menu is full of grammar
mistakes ;-) it's cute!(they didn't seem to take notice of my comments regarding
the French spelling) The food is very good though, and the prices fair. Worth a try if you are around North-West London. |

This is my favorite restaurant at the moment: a tiny place, always crowded
. On its menu the first time I went there, they had -oh my god?- seagulls
eggs as a starter! They also served Samphire, a not so common seaweed-rock
plant which I hadn't eaten anywhere before, delicious, and for dessert (and
I usually don't have any because of sugar content) a mexican chocolate cake
made by an old mexican lady, especially for them, with no added sugar! And
it was scrumptious. Unusual menu, great service, very good wines, brilliant mineral water. You just have to go there. |

REIGATE (Surrey) |
Very nice restaurant again serving unusual food (ostrich, Samphire!) very
good service, and great organic wines. Homemade white bread. The only thing I'd comment on in that restaurant is that it does not smell of food, but smells more like a clean bar.(no food smells..??) |

A good restaurant in front of Andrew Edmunds, small menu, but very good quality food. Very pretty waitresses. Friendly atmostphere. Nice bread with olive oil. The only thing missing in that was the garlic! | |

NORTH EALING |
a
great Japanese restaurant in North Ealing . Are you feeling curious, adventurous,
brave ? Then try 'sashimi' which is a platter of beautiful raw fish served
with (very) hot green radish and soy sauce...mmmhhh. If you are not feeling curious nor adventurous nor brave , you can still try their cooked meat dishes, and fried vegetables or seafood .It's not very cheap, and you may need a sandwich after that, but it s well worth the adventure.

SOHO Tel: 0207 629 2961 |
A restaurant who was recommended by Sean, who browsed my links and sent me an email about it!! The first person to do so! and I must thank him a lot :-) This restaurant is very good, the sashimi very nicely layed out and the rest of the meal very good too.Their menu is very extensive, and it s difficult to choose...Most customers seem to be japanese, and the only downside to it is that if you book a table at 8 and arrive more than 10 mins late, they put you at the queue, which is very long, and ask you to wait till the next table is free. Same applies if you arrive on time but the rest of your party isn't there. But that was on a week end, they may be more easy during the week. Definitly worth the wait! | |
 |
EALING COMMON Tel: 0208 896-3175 |
Another brilliant Japanese restaurant, which only serves raw fish (no
cooked dishes) it's slightly cheaper than Momo, and it's rather hard to
understand the menu, but they prepare the fish in front of you. And you
can learn Japanese. Great! Book in advance, they are busy and very small. 1 Station Parade, |

TOOTING BEC 326 Balham High Road, London, SW17 7AA Tel: 0208 682 1777 |
An excellent restaurant recommended by the staff at Wimbledon Sewing Machine
ltd. Amazing starters, try the Raw tuna marinated in Citrus, or the Green Soja bean pods in Ginger (never seen soja bean pods before) or again the Cucumber and seaweed starter. Unfortunatly they do not serve Buckwheat noodle, the demand in Tooting for such excellent and healthy products not being very high. Shame. |

EALING BROADWAY 13 Bond Street, London W5 5AP Tel: 020 8566 2010 |
My favorite japanese restaurant, the staff is really super friendly (and so is the fish chef) .They are very keen to fill up the mug of green tea all through the meal! Very good food, my favorite is some noodle-paste filled with prawn and vegetables served with a spicy sauce which name again ...I don't remember, (ah here it is, it is called "gyosa")but yet I have not been desapointed with them, and I don't expect to be! Try it! | |

SOUTHALL |
In the true Indian headquarters, Southall, hides this valuable
Indian restaurant, where you will find the best curries in London. It s
a modern looking restaurant, with a menu you won't find anywhere else: have
you ever tried Brain? (well, I haven't yet either, I'm still thinking about
it) it is on the menu there! They also serve some unusual yogurt pastry
starters with mango, and some fruit lassis. Everything there is different
from the typical occidentalised Indian restaurant...A treasure to try, if
you are passing by. |

SOUTHALL Tel: 0208 574 1897 |
Very close to Roshni, this restaurant is very posh: it actually looks , frighteningly, like a nouvelle cuisine restaurant. But when I saw the dishes coming I was very relieved :-) Brilliant food, can be very mild, and very good service. They do use a lot of cream though.You could try it and tell me what you think... | |
 |
NORTH EALING 10 Queens Parade, Queens Drive, North Ealing, London W5 3HU. Tel: 0208 997 0210 |
This is the best Indian restaurant I have eaten in. Convenient location,
very close to Art2b Studio; their "medium " hot curries are definitly
very mild comparing to Sri Lankan's standards where "mild" curries
are bearely eadible. I had a gorgeous chunk of lamb on the bone in curry sauce, and my friend had a very strange but delicious Lamb with bananas and lychees, which was not sugary but just sweetened by the fruit. Their nan bread was delicious, and the vegetables very fine, which is a change from standard Indian heavy cuisine. They were very welcoming, and even offered us a drink on the house at the end of the evening! it never happened before! I had my favorite, Mineral water, of course :-) (no internet links found for them yet) |

HARROW ON THE HILL |
Great Indian restaurant in Harrow again, they do their own delicious and unusual popadum dips! I ate chunks of lamb with "Ajwain seeds" in it, it is the first time I find that spice in an Indian restaurant, I was very impressed. Very nice vegetables . They also offer potatoe crackers with the popadums. Lovely! Very big restaurant, a lot of seating capacity. Very good customer service. (I stole the napkin of the popadum basket as I was going to sneeze and the nice waiter saw it and brought me 3 more on a plate :-) ) | |

TOOTING BEC 121 Upper Tooting Rd London SW17 7TJ TEL: 0208 767 7676 |
A really good Indian-Pakistan-blengladesh restaurant, where you can see the chef doing the dishes behind glass! They have 2 kitchens, and the one for the main dishes is in the main restaurant room, so you can admire the skills and spices the chef puts in its dishes. Pilaw rice is a mix of cumin, Ghee butter, and onions, and does not have the ugly red and green colourings of most restaurants. The lentils are "quite nice"(delicious) and the breads very nice too. Friendly service, open all day. | |

ALDGATE EAST |
A real Pakistani restaurant, which I discovered the other day, near Aldgate. This authantic weird and amazing restaurant is not for the posh middle class: unless they like to get their fingers dirty. They have a very small menu, and the waiter will propose you a selection. Main courses costs maximum £6.50, bring your own wine. | |

 |
SOUTHALL |
The first Sri Lankan Iever went to ! I love their spicy soup, it s a clear soup made out of spices(very good for health said the waiter) with a bit of clear tomato, and it is so hot it is hard to eat it, but it's delicious! They do brilliant hoppers (try the milk hopper, a rice pancake with coconut milk and a bit of sugar) The service is lovely, the waiters so friendly and warm, it's a shame the food is so hot, I'd go there more often! Very very hot. | |

WEMBLEY 17 Ealing Road, London HA0 4AA Tel: 0208 900 8664 |
Another good Sri Lankan cuisine, very very good service, and he kept on wanting to give us free things: a pudding, then a coffee...Good food, slightly less hot than Palm Palace! But not much less, just like Sri Lankan cuisine should be...;-) Worth a visit! (ladies go for it! nice waiter) | |

Fine lebanese cuisine. If you want something healthy, with plenty of raw vegetables and you are near Centre London, come here. A complementary dish full of raw vege is served while you read your menu. Menu include classic middle eastern dishes, but also-oh my god- raw meat blended with spices and marinated as starters. I recommend this restaurant as much for vegetarians than meat eaters. The usually horrible 'Falafels' are actually very nice in this restaurant. Great quality. You can even ask for express service and food will be there in minutes. | |

HACKNEY Tel: 020 8986 2223 |
This used to be my favorite eating place when I lived in Hackney, and now I do go back there occasionally when I fancy some nice fresh food, salad and vegetables.Great daily cooked dishes, brilliant cucumber-tomatoe-parsley salad. It is more like a cafe than a proper restaurant, but it is nice to go and eat there before going to the Klinker.(see Rock&roll links)No need to book. | |
 |
HARRINGAY-MANOR HOUSE Tel: 020 83489515 |
This is a very fiendly restaurant, in the Turkish style (daily cooked
dishes: usually 1 lamb, 1 chicken and 1 vegetarian) delicious food, and
homemade white bread! Try the lentil soup if you are peckish. |

HARRINGAY-MANOR HOUSE 443 Green Lanes, London N4 1HA Tel: 0208 340 7801 |
Another very good restaurant in Green Lanes, which waitress is extremely nice and welcoming, (hope she doesn't leave before you get to try it) the food is amazing, didn't look that great in the window(lack of greenery) but the tastes and what they offer are outstanding. Unusual flavours, very good prices, and they will provide a salad if you ask (but it doesn't come straight away with the meal) Delicious. Careful the chillies. Even the green ones. | |

BAYSWATER 111 Westbourne Grove, London, W2 4UW Tel: 0207 792 4035 |
Brazillian BBQ Restaurant, Westbourne Grove. A great fixed price deal, get a plate, help yourself to vegetables and salad and then they bring around a selection of fresh BBQ meals until you surrender...Try the cassava powder blended with the sauce of your dishes, very unusual(well, not for Brazillians) and very nice! I recommend it for vegetarians too. Lots of vegetables dishes. |

BAYSWATER |
I am not keen on Italian restaurants, usually being just white pasta, white pizza, white bread, tomamto, just refined products leaving me totally...unhealthy. But this Italian restaurant off Westbourne Grove is actually very tasty, and very good quality for white pasta. They do good fish, good meat, and some vegetables! Wonderful. | |

SOUTHEND Tel: 01702 341892 |
Another very good Italian restaurant, they specialise in Fish, as their name says. Amazing menu, great choices, and excellent garlic bread, even though it s made with white flour. | |

SOHO |
I had to mention this bar where i had an extremely friendly and nice service. They sell a lot of nice green fresh juices, food to take away, all vegetarian but they do serve brown rice. The place wasn't the most spotless place I have been to, at the end of their working day, but it is definitly worth going in there for a healthy and nice snack, anytime of day. (or maybe it was the residues of the market packing up in the street which gave that impression of mess) | |
 |
SOHO 45 Lexington St london W1F 9AN Tel: 0207 494 1634 |
This is a nice vegetarian restaurant in Centre London, where they serve
nice fresh juices with algae, strange teas and lovely dishes. Do go there
if you are hungry, the main courses are very filling! The service is very
friendly but can be sometimes slow as they get very busy. Worth a try, they are also doing drinks during the day, if you want to sit down. |

Are you vegetarian? No? Yes? Doesn't matter. But if you like vegetables, and delicious vegan thai-chinese cuisine, rice, excellent quality buffet (not like some chinese buffet in Soho which I will not name , they are so disgusting) and a lot of REAL choice, for £5-£7 you can have a wonderful meal there. Wonderful staff, green tea served. | |

Another vegetarian restaurant, near Old Street. For £3.95 you get an Indian buffet, with nice vegetables and -oh my god- the very rare BROWN RICE for the health freaks who like taste. This is the only restaurant I have visited so far which does brown rice, (loads of B vitamins in bran, keeps you healthy and regular) and they have lots of different soft drinks. Lovely for a quick snack (don't eat till tomorrow) | |
 |
TOTNES |
In the heart of Totness, this beautiful and strange town, is this little cafe which serves ORGANIC and vegetarian food (we love vegetables! ) and a succulent selection of soups, salads, gratins, very unusual. They unfortunatly also serve the biggest scrumptuousest cakes I have ever seen in a restaurant, which was too tempting to resist... but sugar, never again! Except in Totness. | |

This Moroccan restaurant is a mix of Moroccan and Spanish, and is really
lovely! My favorite Moroccan in London! The service is fast, friendly, and
the food is excellent! Light, but sensationnal. They open till 11pm, so
be quick if you come out of a gig in the Apollo and you are feeling peckish.
Definitly worth looking out for! The decor is amazing too. Open Mon-fri lunch:12pm-3pm, Dinner 5.30PM-11.45PM . Closed Sat-Sun lunch, but open Sat dinner 5.30pm-11.45pm, sun 5.30pm-11pm |
