Ottolenghi Islington – An oasis of Mediterranean tapas

Posted on June 14, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Ottolenghi has always been a dessert place in my mind, but recently I had a chance to sample their main menu with some Yelpers. The menu reads more like the Italian version of tapas than anything else albeit more refined than rustic when it comes to preparation and style of food. It’s expensive, but as … Continue reading →

The Palm London -> Wine + Steak = So much win

Posted on June 9, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

I’ve a relative newb when it comes to twitter – I’ve always been aware of it but never actually used it until recently. Warning – Twitter is bloody addictive and a considerable amount of my day is devoted to catching up on the ridiculous number of tweets out there. Anyways, one of the great side … Continue reading →

Homeslice – Perfect pizza where one slice just isn’t enough

Posted on June 6, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

I usually feel a bit sad when one of my favourite traders gives up the street for more permanent digs. They seem to lose some of that spark that added an extra dimension to the taste and kept me coming back. Perhaps it’s the need to pay rent on a regular basis or the higher … Continue reading →

Bubbledogs – A delicious novelty

Posted on June 5, 2013 by themotleyspicer • 1 Comment

Bubbledogs = Champagne + gourmet hotdogs. Despite the strangeness of the combination, Bubbledogs manages to make it work, at least as far as the food is concerned. I highly recommend the Buffalo Dog (get extra buffalo hot sauce) and the New Yorker as far as dogs go. Bubbles are expensive with the cheapest bottle running … Continue reading →

Assal – Persian sweets done good!

Posted on June 5, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Assal is just down the street from Le Chef Masgouf (the location for our “I” dining visit) and boasts an impressive array of traditional Persian pastries and sweets for just about any taste – provided you don’t mind the sugar rush that never fails to follow. Absolutely delicious, excellent knowledgeable and friendly dude behind the … Continue reading →

Alphabet Dining – “I” at Le Chef Masgouf

Posted on June 4, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

It’s a bit like those books they give you as a kid to teach you the alphabet, only this time I is for Iraqi, especially the food. The next instalment of our Alphabet Dining quest brought us to Le Chef Masgouf for some good traditional Iraqi eats. Meeting friends? There are pubs all around the … Continue reading →

Ametsa with Arzak Instruction – Fine dining falling short

Posted on June 4, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Ametsa with  Arzak Instruction (let’s call it AWAI) is one of the newest “designed for a Michelin star” restaurants to hit London. That’s no surprise given its pedigree – it’s the brainchild of Chef Juan Mari Arzak and his daughter Elena who boast 3 such stars at Arzak in San Sebastian. However, neither of these … Continue reading →
