Singburi used to be the best Thai restaurant in London, but things have changed. My belated review of the new Singburi in Shoreditch: pickyglutton.com/2026/08/24/…

Hausu shows some real skill with meat and fish, one of this Peckham’s restaurant many charms: pickyglutton.com/2026/07/06/…

Hausu isn’t the untrammelled blockbuster that I hoped it would be, but there’s still plenty of joy to be had at this cosy, eclectic restaurant: pickyglutton.com/2026/07/06/…

The heaving bounty of the Mixed Platter at Bronek’s gets all the attention, but that’s just the beginning of Bronek’s charms, not the end. #fishfriday pickyglutton.com/2026/06/08/…

Seafood and wacky decor get you in the door, but it’s the people watching that makes you come back to Bronek’s Fish Restaurant: pickyglutton.com/2026/06/08/…

The Speedboat Bar in Notting Hill has some fun takes on fast food, from instant noodles to McDonald’s-style pies. This definitely isn’t your average Thai restaurant: pickyglutton.com/2026/03/23/…

It’s the small-menu laksa specialist that has something for everyone. My review of Sambal Shiok: pickyglutton.com/2025/10/20/…

It’d be tempting to stick to Camille’s versions of classic French dishes, from pate en croute to confit duck. But then you’d miss out on their notable skill with gamier meats, such as mutton and venison: pickyglutton.com/2025/09/22/…

Don’t think of Camille as a French(ish) restaurant. Think of it as a restaurant with a remarkable panache for fish dishes: pickyglutton.com/2025/09/22/…

Something has gone terribly wrong when a French restaurant can’t knock out a consistently decent spread of desserts. My review of Café François: pickyglutton.com/2025/09/01/…

When is a French brasserie not really that French? When it’s Café François: pickyglutton.com/2025/09/01/…
