Restaurant Review: Chutney Mary, Chelsea

THE moment you walk through the door there is an air of expectation that you are in for a gastronomical adventure.

Restaurant Review: Shalizar, West Ealing

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:05:00 GMT

IT may be the new kid on the block, but you can easily see this Persian restaurant poaching diners away from the other Middle-Eastern eateries fronting Uxbridge Road in West Ealing.

Restaurant Review: Retsina & Mousaka

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

MY MAIN recommendation for Retsina & Mousaka is that you should be starving before you go there. The portions are enormous - so huge that I wish we had shared a main, because the desserts looked mouth-watering. I did manage to force a morsel of baclava down and force-fed the rest to my husband, Michael.

Restaurant Review: Los Molinos

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

ON THE busy Shepherd's Bush Road is Los Molinos - an unpretentious-looking restaurant - but a tapas haven on a chill winter's night. You could easily miss this little oasis of Spanish cuisine - sitting just back from the hustle and bustle of a main artery into and out of Hammersmith and only a stone's throw from leafy Brook Green.

Restaurant Review: The Pear Tree, Fulham

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

HIDDEN away in a quiet residential street, not far from the chaotic Fulham Palace Road, stands a cosy little pub. As we drive past the back of Charing Cross Hospital, down side streets, there is no sign of anything but houses, but soon enough we see a small pub appear.

Restaurant Reviews: The Plough, Ealing

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

WITH a cold wind blowing outside, a brisk walk to some hearty food in cosy surroundings was just what was called for.

Restaurant Review: The Black Lion Hammersmith

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

ONE of my favourite pubs along the river in Hammersmith is The Black Lion, with picturesque views along the Thames, great service and even better food.

Restaurant Review: The Roehampton Gastropub, Hammersmith

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

JUST days after Christmas, my thoughts had turned to trying to lose some of my turkey and mince pie belly gained over the festive period. But when weighing up the options of exercising or trying out the seasonal menu at a gastropub just minutes from my house in Hammersmith, I was quickly persuaded to pay a visit to The Roebuck.

Restaurant Review: The Thatched House, Hammersmith

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

On a cold and blustery Wednesday evening, the pub provided a warm welcome, with an open fire, big wooden tables and festive decorations adorning the walls.

Restaurant Review: Marco, Fulham Road

Aidan Jones eats at Marco, Stamford Bridge, Fulham Road 020 7915 2929.

Restaurant Review: Fogo in Ealing

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

The restaurant has only been open about three weeks and the concept is based on churrasco, a Brazilian barbecue.

Restaurant Reviews: Ciao Baby Cucina, Shepherds Bush

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

As soon as my friend and I walked in, the aroma of herbs filled the room and we couldn't wait to be shown to our table, which didn't take too long.

Restaurant Review: Caravan Serai in Fulham

10-12 Fulham High Street, Fulham. Tel 020 7371 8444

Restaurant reviews: Lisa's, Pitshanger Lane

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

IT'S a long time since I received such an effusive welcome at a local restaurant. But then it's not often you are welcomed by the owner herself, and the fact that Lisa's has been running for 18 years speaks for itself.

Restaurant Reviews: George and Dragon, Acton

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

DISCREETLY located on Acton High Street, this 17th-century pub and kitchen stands out from the rest as soon as you set foot on the dark wooden flooring.

Restaurant Review: Sushinho

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:00:00 GMT

So Rio de Janeiro via Tokyo was the order of the day in the sleek wooden interior of this Chelsea restaurant.

Restaurant Review: Carluccio's in Ealing

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:58:00 GMT

It becomes clear within moments of walking in the door at Carluccio's that this will probably not be the best lunchtime experience I will ever have.
