When chef Jonathan Waxman opened Barbuto in 2004, the bookmakers of the food scene put all the odds on his side for his survival. Ever since Jams became one of New York’s main feeding grounds of the 1980s, then losing it and two other restaurants at the end of the decade, Mr. Waxman had become […]

What a pleasure to go somewhere knowing that we will have a good time and that all that remains is to succumb to the joy. But ‘n’ Ben is such a place. I’ve been here many times over the years and have never been disappointed, not least because, in an ever-changing world, this place remains […]
You don’t need me to tell you that the past two years have been particularly difficult for chefs and the hospitality industry. One chef, however, only caught my attention during lockdown thanks to the beautiful photos he posted on social media. Fiachra Kenny had only been working at Juniors for a few days when the […]
RRestaurant columns don’t usually start in the ladies room for several reasons, but in real life they often do – or at least they do for me. Some time after the first plates of starters during a new opening, as in Kibou in Battersea over the past week, I often find myself staring into a […]
Cameron Mitchell’s restaurants take up much of the territory in the Short North. Starting at the 600 block of High and walking north we have Marcella’s, The Guild House, The Pearl, Lincoln Social and Del Mar So Cal. Harvey & Ed’s, a project that celebrated New York Deli food, was once part of the team, […]
“Can you figure out how much your dinner will cost by counting the words on the menu?” Food, and how we describe it, can tell us a lot about what it’s going to cost us when we go out to eat tonight. The Louisville Free Public Library’s e-book blurb on Stanford University professor and MacArthur […]
Helen Graham and Marc Summers won’t change a winning formula when they open their second restaurant in Soho in April. Bubala, which opened in Spitalfields in the fall of 2019, will continue to serve a menu of bright vegetarian cuisine with Sephardic influences when it moves to Poland Street. He takes over Vasco and Piero’s, […]
Food is fuel. It’s a saying I’ve seen a lot online lately. Probably because it’s January and all the ads I see seem to be about losing weight or dieting. I’ve never really been on a diet, but when it comes to food being ‘just’ fuel, I disagree because I really enjoy it. Whether it’s […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant changes to restaurant menus — some favoring seafood and some not, according to Datassential director Kelley Fechner. Datassential, based in Chicago, Illinois, USA, provides annual updates on restaurant industry menu trends at the National Fisheries Institute’s Global Seafood Market Conference (GSMC). At this year’s event in Orlando, Florida, […]
A new chapter begins for the French galette restaurant – this time in a 70s-inspired space at the Palais Renaissance. If French Fold’s consistently booked location at Telok Ayer is anything to go by, its second outlet should be a hit. Located opposite Merci Marcel, it sports a much more gloomy and more masculine aesthetic. […]
At the edge of the wider McLaren Vale region is Willunga. This quintessentially sleepy little town comes alive on weekends thanks to the Willunga Farmers Market, one of the best fresh produce destinations in the state. Willunga was the birthplace of the original Fino restaurant and cult wine Fall from Grace, and although each has […]

what’s new, food and wine, Les Bistronomes is a refuge of calm. In the mad crush that comes with preparing for Christmas, with everyone back in frantic socializing guaranteed by an anxiety we’ve suppressed but never been able to quell, the serenity in this corner of Campbell’s stores is just that that the doctor ordered.

Deli Platter which had pork pie, Lishman ham, rillettes and 4 cheeses including Wensleydale, Yorkshire Blue, Manchego and Tallegio and all the trimmings. The difficulty of getting a table at Pairings Wine Bar, York is a testament to how this place has evolved since I last reviewed it, although to be fair it hadn’t been […]
Bayside Social, 1 Beach Parade, Worthing BN11 2FG (01903 867050; baysidesocial.co.uk). Small plates £4-£13, desserts £7-£8, wines from £21 England’s off-season seaside towns are often seen as romantic places of sweet desolation and benign neglect. There is nothing romantic in Worthing today. Instead, my relationship with the city seems very dysfunctional, like it has tied […]

“Tossing and turning in the widening gyre. The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things are falling apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is unleashed upon the world.” The Second Coming – William Butler Yeats. I’ve often wished I was the kind of person who sits in a cafe for hours, maybe reading a little […]
Throughout the various lockdowns, my son and I met his friend and dad for a football game every Saturday morning, rain, hail or shine. On our way home, we pass the Atholl Hotel. Already starved from our athletic endeavors, the smells emanating from the kitchen make us groan in equal measure of pleasure and frustration […]
All pub grub is not built the same way. Some are sublime, worth booking in advance and traveling miles to get there; some are the reheated or fried contents of various freezer bags and tossed onto plates. My job – and it’s a real job – is to decipher what falls into which category. Take […]
SSo far, 2022 hasn’t been the breath of fresh air we needed. Among the big news lines last week was the story of a Turkish farmer who decided to donate cow VR headsets to make them feel like they’re outside in sunny pastures, instead of inside barns. This apparently caused them to produce more milk. […]

Fresh beets are tossed with arugula, pickled apples, goat cheese, toasted pecans and citrus vinaigrette. Julien Motola/Digital Odyssey Media A bite of a simple side salad is the first clue that Chef Brad Zeller takes the ingredients he uses very seriously.

PUT THIS BURGER IN PITTSBURGH’S HAMBURGER HALL OF FAME Oa chilly December afternoon, two old buddies were sipping coffee at a window table in the small Oak Hill Post dining room in Brookline, engrossed in a game of euchre. A few tables down, I was delighted by the restaurant’s breakfast sandwich, a stacked biscuit with […]
Restaurants continue to struggle during the pandemic, facing rising costs on top of staffing and health issues. Demand far exceeds supply as supply chain issues continue to disrupt our ports. Fuel prices have increased almost 100% over the past year. Food prices have risen dramatically over the past 18 months. Most operators have probably increased […]
When someone says a restaurant’s food is better than it should be, that’s only half a compliment. Usually they mean the food isn’t great, but it could be worse than it is and the crowds would keep coming because the place has other advantages, like the location or the view . Lodi, an Italian cafe […]

A quintessential expression of ever-humble Japanese, osomatsu-sama deshita means “it wasn’t a big meal” – often said modestly by a host in response to praise from guests. But modesty aside, Osomatsu Japanese cuisine and bar definitely worth the fuss. Nestled in one of Paya Lebar’s quieter malls, this new face of KINEX gives izakaya food […]
Like most people, I haven’t been out of Ireland since you know what hit the country. I miss wine regions, but I also miss cheap food in foreign cities, from tapas in Spanish bars to sandwiches in Italian cafes, to casual Asian food in cities like Paris and New York. If you miss the latter, […]
Once a starchy affair of white tablecloths and dress codes, Singapore’s food scene has let loose in recent years. A far cry from elegant tunes and an arsenal of silverware, the gastronomy is moving towards a relaxed and lively experience, supported by fun games of flavors. And nowhere is this shift more evident than in […]

With the celebrations now a distant memory and the tree decorations tucked away in the shed, I kept two rose-shaped garlands of lights inside the house, their faint amber glow offering a touch of festive comfort to those days of darkness and squall. I hate January. I mean, what’s there to love? The stores are […]
It was a perfect winter day. Cold, but not cold enough to pinch your toes and nose, but bright and sunny. The kind of day that asks you to step away from the fireplace and get some fresh air. Just before the recent holiday season, we decided to take the car for a run in […]
An all-day restaurant and bar just on the south side from the Mendota Bridge, The Copperfield has a built-in audience, as it sits on the ground floor of a gleaming new seniors’ housing complex. Honestly this place looks great and what a treat for a community that lacks independent restaurants. No, the food is not […]
Ohe is heading towards carmel in Queen’s Park, northwest London, the first week of the new year, I am reminded that January is always a strange time to revise. The whole month lends itself to retreating and recuperating, with rooms closed for weeks and others offering the thinnest hours, sometimes with the radiators turned off […]
It is said that moving is one of the most stressful times of your life. I can definitely tell you after doing it recently, it most certainly is. A change like moving house is extremely exciting, but with that excitement comes the nerve-wracking, emotional ball of anxiety that has settled in the pit of my […]

The Osborne Road venue – formerly the Wave Maiden pub – is run by the Swan family, who also own The Red Lion on the Hill in Southwick, and general manager Fahren Smith. Pirate-themed in every sense of the word, it has the ‘biggest selection of rum in Portsmouth’. And it’s no small feat to […]
It’s the magical time of year when we don’t know what day it is, moms want an easy dinner – which we all know means fish and chips – and going from the beach to the bar is a plan perfectly acceptable for the day. This time next week, however, it’s a different story because […]

After spending the past two decades working, eating and drinking across South Australia’s regional culinary landscape, I’ve learned a thing or two about communities and the people who make and shape them. Some welcome newcomers with open arms, while others are comfortable in their own little corners of the world, resistant to change, or just […]

Semma’s waiters walk around in black, long-sleeved T-shirts printed with a white logo that says Unapologetic Indian.

With its devious implication that what other […]
