Esarn Kheaw – Shepherd’s Bush

Thai cuisine is one that I am very fond of and I can never resist a good Thai meal. Unfortunately, Esarn Kheaw was a huge disappointment. Apart from the friendly staff, we really did not enjoy our meal and time at Esarn Kheaw.

Mori- Marylebone

A tea house on Marylebone High Street is what Mori is. They have the counter/shop at the front and at the back is the seated cafe area. It has a light and airy feel and the cafe area is made up of beige furniture.

Frontline – Paddington

Frontline prides itself on making food from locally sourced produce. The menu is quite small but has sufficient choice.

Lobby Lounge at Montcalm Hotel – Marble Arch

Montcalm Hotel has utilised the lobby into an afternoon tea area! It also has a restaurant towards the back of the lobby. There were big flower displays including vases of orchids. It was a little chilly as the seating is next to the main entrance of the hotel.

Randa (Maroush) – Kensington High Street

Randa is part of the Maroush chain of Lebanese restaurants. This restaurant has a spiral staircase which leads to the upper level. A selection of mezza made up our meal.

Jom Makan – Westfield London

Raoul’s Cafe – Little Venice

Raoul’s Cafe is definitely the place to come to for Sunday brunch. The cafe was so busy and full when we went there on this particular Sunday. We thought that we would be waiting a really long time for a table. So we were pleasantly surprised when we were seated within five or so minutes.

Portobello Ristorante Pizzeria – Notting Hill

Great quality pizza and a lovely atmosphere is what you get at Portobello Ristorante Pizzeria. The restaurant is fairly small and you can see the big dome wood burning oven situated at the back of the dining area. There is also an outdoor seating area, which looked like it would accommodate the same amount of diners as the inside of the restaurant.

Ca’puccino – Westfield London

Ca’puccino has two floors and the relaxed atmosphere is helped by the spacious seating areas. The upstairs floor has some comfy seating and white leather chairs. The lighting is slightly dark. It would be very easy to spend quite a lot of time here. We liked the quirky decor of tower blocks of books distributed over the two floors.
