Bar Review: Franks (summer pop-up), Peckham, London
What's the Curbappeal?
- unique setting on the top level of a multi-storey car park (sounds random but it really works!)
- amazing views across London (Emirates Air Line cable car, O2 arena, Canary Wharf, The Shard, St Paul's...you get the idea)
- relaxed sociable vibe
- creative crowd
Time of visit: Saturday early evening, July 2013

Restaurant review : Balthazar, london
What's the curbappeal?
Time of visit: brunch, Sunday in July 2013
- the classic European brasserie interior: art deco lights, brass fixings, red booth seats and tiled floor.
- the dilemma? London already has lots of similar restaurants and they're excellent: the Wolseley, the Delaunay and Colbert (to name a few) are my favourites.
- does it live up to the hype? Unfortunately not, the interior feels overly-contrived and the quality of the food is average to poor. I had to send back my flat white because the coffee was burnt. My poached eggs were just OK (quite watery in texture if I'm being critical).
Sorry but I won't be back
With love,
