Côte Bistro

Posted on July 22, 2013 by Mad Dog

Return to Fitzrovia

Posted on June 5, 2011 by Mad Dog

June 4th, 2011 I met Catie at Blacks in Soho, for a wine tasting, organised by Aubert & Mascoli. It turned out to be a very pleasant afternoon – the Genièvrières, a Bourgogne Macon-Cruzillé was particularly good. On Wednesday, somewhere … Continue reading →

The Junction Tavern

Posted on May 28, 2011 by Mad Dog

May 28th 2011 I can remember the Junction Tavern when it was covered in ivy and all the customers were over 65. I admit going there once or twice, because it did a Sunday roast for about £2.50 – and … Continue reading →

Brawn

Posted on May 19, 2011 by Mad Dog

May 19th 2011 Last week I ate at Brawn, with Oli and Catie – the name of the restaurant suggested that it could be my kind of place and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. The interior is clean and white, with … Continue reading →
