The news that Matt Lambert, the chef who made Musket room a lone New Zealand cuisine outpost at NoLIta, had been replaced by Mary Attea in February 2020 hasn’t exactly caught on across the country. At least I haven’t heard of it. Then the engine of the restaurant economy died a few weeks later, and […]
The Heathcock, 58-60 Bridge Street, Cardiff CF5 2EN (029 2115 2290). Lunch £7 to £13, mains (evening) £15 to £24, desserts £7 to £8.90, wines from £19 On a slow news day in the summer of 2016, I made headlines for giving a restaurant in Cardiff a good review. To be honest, it was less […]
Fletchers at Grantley Hall, Ripon, North Yorkshire, HG4 3ET (01765 620 070, grantleyhall.co.uk). Starters £12.50 to £19.50, mains £24 to £50, desserts £11.50 to £14, wines from £34 I arrived at Grantley Hall on time for my reservation, and I was always late for my table. It was because of the long drive from the […]
wow. Before reading any further, I suggest you log onto the Allta Winter House website and try to get a reservation or waitlist. Extraordinary and joyful things are happening on the 5th floor of a central Dublin car park and you have to experience it. Chefs Niall Davis and Hugh Higgins opened Allta on Setanta […]
It’s hard to follow. I had heard that Woodruff at Stepaside was good and that chef Simon Williams and manager Colm Maguire had ambitions, but I had obviously not paid enough attention to that. Woodruff isn’t just “good” – it’s a restaurant everyone in Ireland should know. In case you are unfamiliar, Stepaside is a […]
Another year, another anniversary, makes it seem like they come faster every year. My workplace thinks no one should be working on their birthday and that’s why they give everyone their birthday – it’s fabulous! My friend very kindly offered to take the day off to celebrate with me so we decided to take a […]
Take some Shalom Y’All to Israeli riffs. Add the leaping flames of beef and meats roasting over bare coals. Add Tusk’s clever seasonal salads and a little Mad Greek Deli neighborhood vibe. Mix it up with a soft room bathed in light, ouzo-based cocktails and a mind-blowing house-made playlist of hip, jazz […]
Trivet is the first solo restaurant of Fat Duck alumni Jonny Lake and Isa Bal, which opened in Bermondsey in October 2019 – yes, shortly before having to close in March 2020 for (the first) lockdown. Despite this unlucky start, Trivet is up and running again and running at full speed, and we dropped by […]
Juke and Loe, 617 Ecclesall Road, Sheffield S11 8PT (0114 268 0271, jukeandloe.com). Lunch – two courses £25, three courses £30. Dinner – starters £14-£16, mains £24-£30, desserts £10. Wines from £24 It’s time to address the most pressing question of age: when to go out to eat on weekdays, which is better, lunch or […]
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. […]
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. […]

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. […]
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 […]
When you think of Totterdown, you probably imagine dizzying streets, a ring road that never existed, and a good pub or two. But this corner of Bristol is also on the way to becoming a foodie destination, with Bank the latest addition to its growing repertoire; an “all day concept” serving specialty coffee by day […]
