New opening : Cafe - Tom's Kitchen Deli, Canary Wharf, London

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!

With love,

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Amanjena. My reviews of the hotel and its facilities
(restaurants, bar, spa, villas and private dining) will follow soon. But, in the meanwhile please find some of my photographs:

Restaurant review: Randall & Aubin, Soho, London. Lunch. Saturday 12thOctober 2012.

What's the Curbappeal?:
- The chic interior: light grey marble tabletops on sharing style tables, chandeliers, a huge disco ball hanging from the ceiling, bar stool seating, butcher block tiling & rotisserie counter
- Vibrant atmosphere: loud & uplifting music & chattering diners
- Great for people watching

Crowd: all types; groups, couples, families

Cuisine: Rotisserie & Fruits de Mer are the specialities

Food rating: really excellent. We went for the Calamari Frites (tasted so lightly fried) with pimento salsa to start. Yummy. For mains we went for 2 fish dishes; the grilled line caught tuna served on a bed of roasted vegetables & feta cheese garnished with an olive & oregano tapenade. Delicious. The grilled (to perfection) sea bass served with (a tasty) spring onion, chive & rosemary salsa & (melt in the mouth cubed) curry dusted potatoes. Divine.

The bill: pricey.

Recommended: Yes. Good place to start off for a night out in soho

With Love,
Ms. Curbappeal x

Hotel Review: Hotel Zoso, Palm Springs, California, USA

What’s the Curbappeal?

- The only 'stylish and contemporary value-hotel' in Palm Springs. Other options favour a more classic-glam look and are more expensive. So if you prefer the modern to the traditional or historic, then this is the one for you.

P.S. here's some photos from my Canon SLR….
