London Restaurant review: disappointing new kid on the block

Venue: Blue Boar, Westminster, London

What's the curbappeal?
- well its website promises oodles of hipster cool. Teamed with a focus on BBQ food (pretty niche, sounded interesting)
- unfortunately the visit was disappointing: Despite the restaurant marketing itself as a standalone venue (see their website), it's very much part of the Intercontinental hotel, within which it resides. The overall vibe is confusing. It's very modern inside and the attempt to create a hipster interior (in the bar), just doesn't work. The restaurant has a formal setting which is at odds with the cuisine served (BBQ focus). I ate with 2 friends and we were all disappointed with our food. I had the steak (just OK) and my friends had the pulled pork, which they said tasted strange due to its 'rub'.

Sorry but this one's not for me (kudos to some of the art work though)

My Bucket List: restaurants to try in London

Venue: Burger and Lobster, Soho, London

What's the curbappeal?
- based on the company's website, the design looks to be hipster. Albeit at the classier end of the spectrum: think sassy red leather booths paired with the obligatory bare lightbulbs and wooden flooring.
- cuisine: the name says it all! I hear good things about the drinks menu which is segregated by what you're eating I.e. burger or lobster.

Yet to visit - will report back

My Bucket List: restaurants to try out in London

What's the curbappeal?
- Ducksoup's website says the design is inspired by the neighbourhood restaurants of France. I think it's likely to be hipster cool - bare lightbulbs, wooden floors etc
- Cuisine: they say its seasonal cooking inspired by the chefs European travels

Yet to visit - will report back

London Restaurant review: lovely pre-theatre option

Venue: Quo Vadis, Soho, London

What's the curbappeal?
- old school vibe : charming and very British interior
- permanently buzzy environment : this is a stalwart on the London pre-theatre restaurant scene
- the food : I went for the pre-theatre set menu. Crab soup starter (nice and piquant, tasty); lamb onglet (tender, lovely herb 'crust', full of flavour) with a side order of fluffy chips; hazelnut cake with red wine pear (quite simply - YUM). Followed by a double espresso to wake me up before heading to soho theatre next door ;)

Recommended.
