The restaurateur behind Faros – the Mediterranean-Italian restaurant that has become one of central London’s most reliably loved spots, with two packed-out sites in Holborn and Oxford Circus — and Fred Bakery, the viennoiserie destination that Londoners were making pilgrimages to before it even had a second location, knows how to…

Review: Holy Carrot Bistro is the holy grail of vegetarian food, and it puts non-veggie restaurants to shame
Vegetarians walk into restaurants like battle-hardened soldiers who already know the terrain.

Review: Bancone City is Italy in all its glory – ballsy, bold and beautiful. As close to Rome as it gets
It starts, as so many minor life crises do, with a photo on the internet.
