Good Coffee Find: Tap Coffee London

TAP Coffee London | meltingbutter.com Coffee Hotspot

I first ventured into TAP Coffee on Wardour Street in search of cold brew coffee – the ‘in’ thing to drink at the mo.  TAP delivered in spades, serving the punchy chilled beverage in a brown glass bottle labelled with an oh-so-hipster luggage tag.  Combined with top-notch cakes (baked on the premises) and a rustic […]

London Restaurant Find: Duck & Waffle

London Restaurant Find: Duck & Waffle | meltingbutter.com

Duck & Waffle gets a bad rep.  The highest restaurant in the UK, with 360-degree views, an expensive menu and snooty staff is bound to ”“ but the fact that it is so difficult to secure a table must be for a reason, right? If you only remember one thing from this article today, let […]

London Restaurant Find: Dishoom Shoreditch| meltingbutter.com

The word “Dishoom” is the old Bollywood sound effect when a hero lands a good punch.  So it’s fitting that the “Bombay café” of the same name, in Shoreditch packs quite a punch. Introducing Londoners to a novel take on Indian food, Dishoom’s menu is a far cry from the stereotypical curry house dishes, instead featuring sophisticated sharing […]
