O perfil de peteste

A nice little restaurant with an eclectic menu (which you’d guess from the name) and a lovely atmosphere. I had succulent turkish sausages with a mixed root mash, and my friend had a lovely African lamb curry with apricots. Very slightly pricey for what it is (lamb curry was about £15, rather more than an Indian curry of similar size) but not incredibly expensive, which some restaurants along this stretch in Camden can be…

Arriving at 7pm on a Wednesday evening to a nearly empty restaurant, to be told that if we didn’t have a reservation we weren’t sitting down is not what I wanted to hear. Clearly if we had sat down it wouldn’t have been worth it. I definitely won’t be darkening their door ever again…

A great little place which serves all of the Polish staples and then some - main meals probably won't break a fiver either! Did you know that 'Londek' is the colloquial word that Poles use to refer to London?

I too went to the launch of the Belgo June lobsterfest last night. I went to this restaurant about six months after it opened back in the early 90s (I lived in Camden Town at the time) and its rather more slick and trendy than I remember it back then! The food is typical Belgian fayre - rather unsophisticated but very tasty of course, and these guys would put any bar in Brussels to shame in terms of the selection of Belgian beers that they have available. It's definitely a beer-lovers heaven...

My review (along with some pics) is here:

It's difficult to describe an experience at Wahaca - just cast the idea of the bog-standard Mexican restaurants that you find around town out of your mind. There are no fake cactuses and sombreros here - just serious interior design and equally serious attention to detail with their range of mexican 'street food', equalled by a passion for sipping tequila. A visit to Wahaca is a unique experience - definitely recommended (oh and they're not incredibly expensive either)

Here's my review of the Qype tequila tasting evening we went to - it might give a bit more of a hint about what you might expect when you go there...

I can't fault this venue at all - lovely intimate atmosphere, fantastic cocktails, a vast array of difficult to find American beers, an adventurous menu and, of course, bowling! Wonderful!

Starbucks flagship UK store, this one is a little more swish than you're used to I imagine. Forget the busy, noisy Starbucks off Oxford St, head for this one. Great ambience and very comfortable - a recommended stopping point for all of the coffee afficionados out there :)

I won't add much to what's been said previously, but I have discovered that during winter high tides, the White Cross actually gets cut off from the street. So bring your wellies or a full wallet to allow you to keep drinking until the river subsides again :)
