A perfect day. Ah, springtime methinks, breakfast at Leila’s Shop, followed by a mosey around Labour & Wait, then a toss up between exploring the stacks either in the British or in the London Library followed by a visit to a bookshop, perhaps Hatchards, Assouline, or Claire de Rouen or Gay’s the Word, prior to meeting for lunch which could be a bag of goodies from Honey & Co and sitting on a bench in a tucked away wee spot or park, or a Welsh rarebit in the bar at St John, or being even more convivial in the restaurant. Perhaps pondering Bouchon Racine or Brutto for dinner. Is there a lunchtime performance at the Wigmore Hall? And if so, might a wander through the Wallace Collection after be a happy thought, of course. The others being full, a happy find was a table at Noble Rot for an early dinner followed by a gentle walk through Bloomsbury and if the crowds have abated and the doors still open, ponder a visit to the British Museum. And to conclude, an always enjoyable visit to Ciao Bella on Lamb’s Conduit Street, though there is a thought for a nightcap on home turf at Quo Vadis.

It's not cheap, but I think it's one of the best restaurants in London. It's good value.

Martini, penne vodka, steak, potatoes. Come on. Love it.
It’s one of those restaurants where the food is amazing, and the vibe is cool.
