Review - uberchic cafe - London: 27 October 2012

It's Curbappeal:
- the style: white-on-white retro chic
- the bar: a work of art
- the atmosphere: a haven of peace and serenity

We only stopped-by for a coffee but we'll be back - its our favourite cafe in London right now. Tweet me to find out the location.

Take a walk: along the Thames in Richmond

It's Curbappeal:
- some drool-worthy real estate
- country-like scenery but not far Central London

Around town: Selfridges food hall, London - 21st October 2012

It's Curbappeal:
- the aspirational deli-counters - who wouldn't want to get their daily groceries here?!
- stylish, fun and contemporary cafe's

With Love,

Beach club review: Puro Beach, Palma, Majorca. Saturday 22nd September 2012.

NB. If you're staying at Hotel Puro use their free shuttle service to reach the beach club (10-15min journey). Remember to book your return shuttle, as it can get v busy when the beach club closes

It's Curbappeal:
- white on white chic


Crowd: [bare in mind we were there out of season] Wide range of Europeans. Groups & couples. Fairly chic lot.

Food & drink rating: tasty fresh food & decent portion sizes

The bill: not bad but if you're not a hotel guest & so paying for a sunbed it might feel on the pricey side. Not sure it's worth paying extra for a spot closer to the ocean

Anything we didn't like: the location seemed a little strange - surrounding buildings not that attractive, but as you'll probably be facing the sea it's not a big issue. Its also fairly close to the airport, although we kinda liked that as it felt quite Ibizan - seeing the planes take off & land

Recommended: Yes. It's a chic club with a cool (but not too pretentious) crowd & not far out of central Palma

Restaurant Review: Mari Vanna, Knightsbridge, London - 30th September 2012

What's the Curbappeal?
- the funkiest, quirkiest, posh Russian restaurant in town.
- really..really high quality food: fresh ingredients and v tasty dishes. We had some salads, dumplings & super-silky flat whites.

With Love,
