Mix Up
Whilst today’s most prominent ‘fusion’ cuisines are becoming as common as a Big Mac, we’ve muddled around for three modern mixes trying to make a difference on the foodie scene, from London to Las Vegas.
FACES: Le Caprice Group’s Old Guard and Rising Stars
UJ’s WineChap finds out what’s behind the smiles at some of the city’s smartest restaurants, starting with Italian haven Daphne’s.
Meat Up
What does the City’s new über-mall, One New Change, have in common with its throat-slitting almost-neighbour, Sweeney Todd – the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who turned his victims into pies? Thanks to Jamie Oliver’s new resto, the answer is M-E-A-T. And he’s not the only creative carnivore in town.
Ricker’s Return
If top pan-Asian food, cocktails, glam and a bit of casual sleb-spotting are your thing… then chances are you already know Will Ricker. And now he’s heading back East with his new venue Glo Glo’s – an intimate cocktail lounge with a swanky Japanese robata grill.
London Cocktail Week Rundown
Initial wrist-bands for London Cocktail Week may be sold-out, but there’s still loads of ways to join in the alco-fun. We’ve blagged a bunch of free event tickets from the nice chaps at LCW and picked a few of our favourite sessions for you to check out (and have a beverage or two).
Trip the Light Fantastic
October promises to be full of fairytale-esque openings, from Drake & Morgan’s woodland Folly and Dalston’s new Nest to a date with the rather whimsical Owl and the Pussycat. As for happily ever after...? We haven’t gotten to the end yet.
