Early Bird

The UJ schedule: Wake up, check Blackberry, make coffee, smoke cigarette, dress, rush to office, read the news, write emails, make calls, write, run to meeting, drink coffee, read emails, consider lunch, panic, write, remember you haven't eaten all day, Diet Coke, Google, email, call, diary, polish, go...

Let's face it, who the hell eats before 6pm these days? Here at Urban Junkies we're increasingly finding that daily sustenance comprises a banana, canned drink, water and coffee, so we're saluting those restaurants attuned to the new lunch: early dinner, and we're not talking tacky, shove-it-down stylee pre-theatre excursions.

Posh takeaway: 20% off at Clapham's Tsunami before 7pm - reward yourself as you work.
Tsunami, 5-7 Voltaire Rd, Clapham, SW4 - 020 7978 1610

Fine dining: Aurora at the Great Eastern Hotel - Early Bird menu from 6-7pm, tablecloths and silver service without the curfews.
Aurora @ the GEH, Liverpool St, EC2 - 020 7618 5616

Post work nibbles: the all new Villandry charcuterie - snacks before supper.
Villandry Foodstore Restaurant Bar - just opened. 170 Great Portland St, W1 - 020 7631 3131

Because Size Zero's not the only reason why people aren't eating anymore.

  • Piece of Cake

    {mosimage}

    Some say it’s better than sex. So it’s apt that London’s latest bakery is appearing in a derelict Soho sex shop, courtesy of fashion favourite Patrick Cox and Cake Boy’s Eric Lanlard. Oh crumbs...

  • Sibling Rivalry

    {mosimage}

    Little sisters steal your make-up. Younger brothers reveal your porn stash. But we’re coming around to the idea of younger siblings - especially when they’re as charming as the latest slew of restaurant sister-sites popping up around Londontown, including Polpo’s newest baby, Polpetto.

  • The Only Way Is Out, Ba-by

    {mosimage}

    London has it’s fair share of outdoor spots. And for sure nothing breaks the daily grind quite like a leisurely lunch in the wild with friends (preferably attractive ones: you’re on show here, remember). But fancy an al fresco nibble and all too often you find yourself with yet another slither of a Pret or a disappointingly greasy local Chinese. And just try getting a table out in the fresh, balmy air without at least 24 hours notice… Oh how those waiters laugh.

  • Lick This

    {mosimage}

    Looking for a way to cool down this summer? Time to stuff the frozen yogurt, take your tongue out of the freezer and wrap it around some of the city’s chicest new gelato joints – and they’re not too calorific either.

  • Feeding Frenzy

    {mosimage}

    Strawberries with cream, picnics in the park and canapés in the courtyard – a gastro-spread which only points to one thing – summer. But if traditional fare isn’t tickling your taste buds, there’s a new crop of quirky cuisine to tempt you away from the green.
