Monty's Deli London Restaurant Review Cake + Whisky

My idea of the perfect autumn Sunday is the absolute Instagram cliché: brunch, golden autumn light, a bit of a walk and fresh blooms .

One of the only places in Britain to make their own salt beef and pastrami, Monty’s Deli is proud to produce everything by hand.

The smoked salmon bagel board is a lesson in the value of simple things done to perfection.

A dense, crusty, sesame-speckled bagel, served with just the right amount (e.i. too much) of cream cheese, salty smoked salmon and a few other bits on the side.

Thinly-sliced pastrami, kraut, Swiss cheese, mustard and Russian dressing sandwiched inbetween two slices of toasted rye bread… Though it’s not quite as epic looking as Katz’s Deli‘s version, Monty’s take on the classic sandwich is positively Reuben-esque!

Chuck Burgers, Spitalfields: restaurant review | Foodism

Street-food stalwart Chuck Burgers bided its time before opening its first central London restaurant, but its punchy flavours and inventive combinations mean it's a cut above your local gourmand burger chain.

We're still yet to be convinced that burgers and wine will truly catch on, and evidently so is Chuck Burger – its list consists of "a red, and a white".

In addition to a larger restaurant in Hatch End, near Harrow, Chuck's got a food truck that we first encountered at Hawker House, and the new place's food offering is somewhere between the all-encompassing menu of the former and the pared-down version of the latter.

We split crispy deep-fried wings – six Korean-style, six American-style, with a blue-cheese dip for both – before sharing three burgers between two (all in the name of a full report, of course).

The buttermilk-fried chicken breast, drenched in hot wing sauce and tangy blue cheese and served with crispy lettuce, had the bite and zest to cut through the richness, and the good old bacon cheeseburger, complete with bright orange American cheese, more than lived up to the billing.

Simplicity in Rotherhithe celebrates its 10th anniversary - Southwark ...

Chef Lawrence Lingard puts longevity of Simplicity down to menu of classic favourites Simplicity reaches its 10 year milestone on February 28th, a tremendous anniversary in a business where most new restaurants close within their first year.

Chef and owner Lawrence Lingard puts its longevity down to his menu of classic favourites with nouvelle makeover, using good produce and good cooking.

He tells of how he has to keep five staple dishes on the menu as that is what people always ask for, and one of them, the Slow Roast Pork Belly, has become his signature dish.

We began with a Peroni for Mum and a Malbec for me while we listened to our host discuss his exciting plans for an extension, his tales of the seven seas and interviewing ‘chefs’ who thought pastry always came in a packet.

A table of Bermondsey regulars next to us finished their Sunday roasts and discussed plans with Lawrence for a December celebration they wanted to book with him, getting in early.

Brunello Bar & Restaurant: Upmarket Italian finds strength in simplicity

There weren’t too many public shreddings, but in food circles Osteria was lampooned for its vulgar glitz and determination to overdo Italian cooking.

The experiments were over; they were back to classic Italian cooking.

London is full of Italian places, but lots of them are dull, uninspiring places peddling defrosted plates of rubbish.

Come in summer, and sit by the windows, or even outside; it is cosier in these parts and the restaurant does struggle with its size, especially as a large bar – a good one, by the way – splits the drinking area and the eating area, but doesn’t divide them.

Final flavour: Italian with an upmarket lift, with a focus on healthy eating At what cost?

Restaurant: Quo Vadis, London W1 | Life and style | The Guardian

Karl Marx was resident at 28 Dean Street for five years, during which he wrote much of Das Kapital; he also lost three of his children to illness, a period described in unbearably moving detail in Francis Wheen's biography.

The building where Marx lived has for many years been a restaurant, Quo Vadis – incongruous, maybe, but posterity does things like that.

This features two generous slices of smoked eel between two pieces of fried bread, generously slathered with horseradish, and with super-sharp slivers of picked onion on the side.

There was horseradish, too, and pickled walnuts, another English idea that went thrillingly well both together and with the steak.

Quo Vadis 26-29 Dean Street, London W1, 020-7437 9585.
