My mixed experience with the food quality and the EXTREMELY slow service would make me think again about returning here.

Restaurant : Riding House Cafe, London, UK
I went here for brunch with friends on a Saturday in April. Being a BIG pancake fan I was very excited to see Buttermilk Pancakes on the menu. Unfortunately they were dire (dry and cold) and I had to send them back. Second plate of pancakes much tastier.

Coffee shop : The Fields Below, Kentish Town, London
I stopped by for a cappuccino (was pretty good). More of a take-out than a 'dine in' cafe, which created a bit of an odd atmosphere. Located right by Kentish Town West overground station, this tiny hipster cafe seemed by far the nicest in the area.

Breakfast at the Anassa hotel, Cyprus
The breakfast buffet at the Anassa is so delicious and vast, it deserves its own dedicated blog post...
Day one: a bowl of delicious homemade Bircher muesli topped with two ripe plump sweetened figs. Followed by a hard boiled egg, then soft raisin bread covered with lashings of homemade marmalade.
Stunning setting for breakfast on the large terrace overlooking the hills, ocean and the stunning (sweet smelling) flowers. The ambiance: peaceful with the relaxing sound of little birds tweeting and the distant roar of the ocean.
Day two: pancakes with maple syrup served with fresh fruit (orange, grapefruit, apples and pineapple).
Day three: chocolate muffin, banana cake and cherry cake, all washed down with a cappuccino. Delicious.
Inside the Amphora dining room. Huge mirrors and windows create a light and airy feel. Beautiful outlook onto the ocean & the outdoor terrace, which overflows with flowers and numerous Olive trees.
Day four: Bircher muesli, fresh grapefruit slices and sweet plump grapes. Large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Very tempting: some of the cakes to choose from:
Date of stay: November 2013.

What's the curbappeal?
- Gorgeous deli in contemporary style. Love the pristine white butcher's block wall tiles mixed with contemporary farmhouse furniture
- a very welcome addition to Canary Wharf's burgeoning dining scene
- I just popped in for a skinny flat white : lovely smooth finish
Will definitely be back!

Cafe review: WH (the 'Watch House'), Rotherhithe Village, London
What's the curbappeal?
-Quirky cafe set in a beautiful churchyard/park
-Those yummy cakes (see photo)
-Lovely area (Rotherhithe Village, Rotherhithe) - very historic. The Mayflower set sail closeby in 1620 and the local pub (also named The Mayflower) is from the same period. Lots of period buildings closeby.
Ps. Curious about its name, the Watch House? Back in time, it was used to watch for grave robbers at St Mary's Church, opposite the cafe. Interesting!
