Naga Restaurant & Bar

Don’t let Naga’s basic, dark foyer fool you. Any food blogger who does restaurant reviews will tell you how hellish it is to take photos of food in dark conditions – most of the photos come out rubbish.

Alyn Williams at The Westbury

There have been plenty of times, when writing a restaurant review, that I felt tempted just to write: “It was great!” or “amazing” or “stunning” or whatever other synonym the thesaurus on my word processor spits out, and let the photos speak for themselves.

The Cube by Electrolux – Simon Rogan

Are you in London? If you need some cheering up with the potential to have a fit of giggles, take the lift at the Royal Festival Hall where voices will sing scales up and down according to the direction you travel.

Mamounia Lounge

If you’re unfamiliar with a cuisine you tend to peruse the menu for a very long time not knowing what to order. Completely stumped I asked the waitress for recommendations. What followed was the most unprofessional, flimsiest and indifferent response I’ve received to date. Not ONE dish was sold to us and instead of feeling rescued, I felt lost at sea when she left the table.
