Soho Kitchen and Bar
19-21 Old Compton Street
London
W1D 5JJ

Now that Jamelia's in NYC, my foodie dates have become awfully lonely but a good meal in and of itself is always great company (no shade Jam). This week however, I headed to a spot in one of London’s most thriving and diverse situations, Soho. Soho Kitchen and Bar, located along the iconic Old Compton Street, this Soho House owned buzzing restaurant is an ideal spot for after work. Tonight’s date alongside dinner, is mi Madre.

'I Got 5 On It'

Zumbura
36a Old Town
Clapham
London
SW4 0LB

Comfortably cushioned between a range of brunch spots, cafes and coffee shops, Zumbara entices passer bys with its open plan provincial Asian design. Minimalistic in its decoration, the fresh feel of the restaurant is enhanced by the outdoor seating area which on a sunny day, seamlessly pours into indoor seating sealed off by the solid wooden cocktail bar.

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. 

The Writings On The Wall

Chicken Shop
79 Highgate Road
London
NW5 1TL

Not the usual stop off for WordOfMouthLDN, but a certainly a pleasant surprise.

The name immediately rang alarm bells for Jamelia who is a committed pescatarian, but it was the persistence of a close friend of ours that drew us to this discrete spot on Highgate Road for a cheeky dessert before making our way to a show at The Forum. Jamelia ordered the Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream, whilst Candace opted for the Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream - as you may have noticed lent hasn't gone exactly to plan for us!
