charlie Elston reviewed La BASTIDE D'ELORA
The restaurant was very clean, fresh flowers on the table, excellent service. We had the fixed price lunch menu, at 13.50 for three courses with coffee we did not expect too much, but were delighted with the entire meal, an amuse bouche, followed by a starter of smoked salmon quiche, perfectly cooked, crisp pastry, the main course of duck breast and chips was worth the cost of the entire meal alone - beautiful!, to finish we had chocolate mousse, and Illy coffee. Hard to imagine where you could find better value for money. We will be back soon.
Kritt Normsaskul reviewed Black Bear Burger Restaurant Shoreditch
Black Burger makes one of the best, if not, the best burger in London.
It's meaty, it's juicy, cooked exactly how I like it and loaded with bacon, American cheese, sweet onion jam and more, all sandwiched between two pillowy soft brioche seeded buns. I know my description doesn't make it sound any different from the other burgers in London, but you must try it to know it. I don't know the secret as to how they do it so unbelievably well! You can even go big and get a double patty.
It's not a restaurant, more like a food stall that just happens to be housed within a shipping container. But that doesn't matter. Plonk yourself one of the long wooden communal benches in Boxpark Shoreditch and devour this incredible burger.
Helen reviewed French Cooking School
I stayed with Poul and Niall at their beautiful home and attended the cook school over the New Year. I had a great time, learnt so much but in such a relaxed atmosphere with such great hosts. I hired a car and took the opportunity to visit lovely places in the afternoons recommended by them. The food, wine and company made it a brilliant way to spend a New Year break. I can't recommend the place highly enough, the location would be great in the summer time too...
