Why the Waitrose Cafe on Botley Road wasn't up to India and ...

Review analysis
food   desserts   cleanliness   busyness  

Yes, it made a big noise when Waitrose opened in Botley Road after years in the planning, MFI being pulled down to make way for the state-of-the art supermarket.

I am certainly none-the-wiser for trying it myself because what becomes immediately clear, and what I had expected I had no idea, is that all you're doing is eating Waitrose food on plates instead of packing it into the back of your car, taking it home and eating it there.

Of course the breakfasts and fry ups are made with Waitrose produce so slightly more novel, more of a compilation than an unpeeling of the ready meal packet, but the sandwich section is literally a pick-and-mix of the shelves already within spitting distance.

I ordered the halloumi salad (£6.45), the only difference being the grilled cheese on top, and a cherry and almond tart, presumably also available in the bakery section.

The wait for our food however was far too long, the cooks having to keep popping out into the aisles for more ingredients, and again this lack of efficiency was all the remarkable because it was Waitrose When the lasagne arrived the very leaves which should have been discarded, the discoloured, motley ones around the outside, were served with it, entirely undressed.

Fischer's - restaurant review | London Evening Standard

Review analysis
food   ambience   desserts   drinks  

Hubbub’s the word, for Fischer’s is packed very tight (buggies are banned outright), to nurture that café society ambience — a compression only tenable thanks to the polish of the nattily turned-out staff, efficiently working the room, making you feel an instant regular.

At lunch or dinner, you could defensively assemble the meal you might have eaten at another, easy-to-like Corbin King restaurant — smoked salmon, followed by spatchcocked chicken or seared sea-bass, say, with a French wine.

Austrian wine is reputedly on the up here these days, selling well in Waitrose, rated by Hugh Johnson, nobody mentioning the 1985 antifreeze scandal.

Unfortunately its wines are served in thick goblets, perhaps authentic to this kind of café but robbing the wine of its nose, an odd choice when the best glass-maker, Riedel, is creditably  Austrian.

Honey and Co, London W1, restaurant review - Telegraph

Review analysis
food  

If the food weren't great, it certainly wouldn't work; but I think, as well as quality, there's a trace of the economics of apparent scarcity, here – the crowds beget one another and the quirky seating times (12 noon sharp for lunch, or 1.30pm) add to the appeal.

N is a vegetarian who does not like aubergines; I barely understand how it's possible to stay alive under those conditions, but he fared fine under the care of Honey & Co's Israeli chefs Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer, he latterly of Ottolenghi, and his wife the former executive head chef of Nopi.

Carrots braised with cumin, coriander and chilli had great flavour, their sweet, vegetal essence never obscured, only enlivened by the spices.

Octopus (£13.50) had been fried with great conviction; its idiosyncratic composition, thick and chewy in the middle, slippery and fatty at the edge of its tendrils, responded perfectly; it ran the gamut of textures, from crispy and crunchy to soft and solid.

This shabby-chic café is packed with music lovers three nights a week, when live bands entertain diners while they tuck into pigeon with beetroot carpaccio and raspberry vinaigrette (£5.25) and sea bream with polenta chips and pea purée (£10.95) Big and buzzy, this café-cum-bar is popular as a great spot for a pre-theatre supper.
