Fresh Local Produce

10-12 The Green
Winchmore Hill
N21 1AY

Like many areas of life, there is this massive misconception that the further you go, the better things get; or as some would say, the grass is always greener on the other side. 

Our latest spot proved just the opposite. Easily one of the best places I have visited, delivering on all fronts: quality, staff, service, taste, ambience, locality even down to parking/transportation links! So lets get into it...

Something Sketchy...

Sketch
9 Conduit Street
London, W1S 2XG

Overpriced and undercooked.

When dining, it is easy to fall for what psychologists refer to as the ‘Halo Effect’ whereby a positive impression in one area is generalized to an object/person/venues entirety. We very nearly made this mistake with Sketch. 

Taste of Turkey

Gokyuzu
26 - 28 Grand Palace
Green Lanes
N4 1LG

Last weekend was kick started with a surprise birthday dinner at one of the many restaurants making up North London's very own 'little Turkey’ (Hornsey Green Lanes) - Gokyuzu.

Green Lanes is full of Mediterranean restaurants that, to the uninformed eye all look the same; therefore once you've tried one, you assume you've tried them all.  Having eaten at another restaurant on this same strip, which was mediocre, it was safe to say that expectations were not particularly high.

You Greedy Cow!

Greedy Cow
2 Grove Road
London, E3 5AX

Having made some new friends at another Natural Hair Event in East London (held by Mane Divas), it was a prime opportunity to merge our passion for food whilst getting to know new people! 

Greedy Cow is a compact pub/bistro style restaurant with a casual feel, discretely tucked away by Mile End station. 

Old Favourites, New Discoveries

Satay Bar
447 Coldharbour Lane
Brixton,
London
SW9 8LP
0844 474 6080

This week the schedule was jam packed with seminars attended by Candace and Contributing Editor at TheSubstanceHQ, sports enthusiast and all around creative, Michael. The dynamic duo took their hunger out of the City and into the rural crux of London, Brixton. 

A Good Ol' Pub Lunch

Magpie Pub
2 New St, London EC2M 4TP
020 7929 3889

With a lot on the schedule this Saturday, we decided to kill a number of birds with one stone. Heading down to Liverpool Street anyway, we decided to work away from home for a change and see what hidden treasures the city had to offer.

Hungry, tired and slightly pushed for time females makes a seriously unproductive combination so we had to find somewhere ... Fast!

When In Doubt… Eat Italian!!!

54 Commercial Street,
E1 6LT London,
020 724 709 88.

This week, we took a trip to La Pietra, a quaint rustic Italian spot. 

Tucked away in Shoredtich La Pietra is the perfect hybrid between a hip, artistic yet corporate restaurant, perfectly fitting its location.
