Quarter Life Crisis - Exhale

Yes, Quarter (25years)

I was particularly taken aback, when whilst on a hunt for the perfect 25th Birthday Card for my friends birthday (first of many) there were no cards to mark, what for us, was a momentous occasion.

Maybe 25th Birthdays weren't so special after all? Can't be! If not, why were so many of us having quarter life crisises?

There’s always an excuse to eat out whether it’s birthdays, overdue meet ups, spontaneous dinners or when you just can't be bothered to cook and need some girly time (our favourite!).

We grew out of the whole clubbing/raving scene 'prematurely' so restaurants became our thing pretty early in our teenage years. It’s cheeky for us to even say 'restaurants' because in all honesty we frequented TGI Fridays, Nandos and Pizza Hut - fancy huh? Joking! But you've got to start somewhere right?

I'm at Joe Allen's

13 Exeter Street, London WC2E 7DT

In continuation from last weeks post, this month’s #nationalburgermonth post comes from dining at Joe Allen. This underground hideaway is located in between some of London’s most infamous theatres and is well known for pre or post theatre dinner. With just a small sign poking out from the brickwork, Joe Allen ushers its diners into a 1950’s theatrical eatery, with pictures of well known actors, actresses and stage characters.

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!
