Restaurant Find: Hoi Polloi London
We already know that the Ace Hotel is a place where hipsters of the world unite. So Hoi Polloi the all-day brasserie attached to the Ace Hotel Shoreditch is, not surprisingly, excruciatingly hipster. Love it or hate it, there’s no arguing that the interiors are beautiful, the atmosphere energetic and convivial and the food (which […]

Restaurant Find: Koya London
1 / 1 ( 1 vote ) (This restaurant has been reported closed) Koya is London’s low-key answer to New York’s Ippudo.

Entry into the restaurant is granted by buzzing an unmarked door nestled in the walls of an old Victorian school situated on Arnold Circus in Shoreditch. Stepping through the door, you’ll likely experience a flashback to […]

NYC Restaurant Find: Flinders Lane
It took dinner at Flinders Lane to realise how much I’ve missed the food back home in Australia. If you’re lucky enough to have travelled there, you’ll know modern Australian cuisine as a beautiful multicultural collision that takes the best from South East Asia, Greece, Italy and even India with British fare at its core.
