The new Benito's Hat near Oxford Circus is open now...Also El Burrito on Charlotte Place is starting to open in the evening and has an impressive array of tacos after 6pm...
I am a big fan of Wahaca too. I have noticed standards slipping slightly the past few months. I tend to go late afternoon when it is quite but the staff can be a bit inattentive and the food sits under the heat lamps for a while. Nothing worse th…
@tosscat - I always have pork with black beans,rice, lettuce, cheese and hot sauce. I'm a bit of a rubbish Mexican food fan since I don't like coriander. I think I have tried out all of the burrito places in London and Benito's Hat and Daddy Donky…
@Ian - did he say if they are going for Tex-Mex or something a bit more authentic? Is it a burrito / taco place or a proper restaurant? I will be overjoyed if it is good.
@tosscat - do you rate Chipotle? It's the only place I ever left a burri…
@WillM - I haven't managed to find a good one in London. Have you? Even Wahaca's isn't that great and they are gods to me for everything else they serve.
@Emma - I saw it today and actually groaned with a combination of pleasure and fear. If it does good burritos and tacos than between that and the cake shop I am going to explode.
I just popped in and it is lovely! There is a really nice feel to the place, very clean and bright but not clinical or cold. I am looking forward to sitting in for lunch one day.
There were loads of delicious-looking cakes but not much bread,…
ADGS - I would rather they were closed than compromising on quality (especially at those prices). It's annoying but I think the sensible option when they are trying to build a reputation.
They should update the website though. I stood looking…
R&J - I emailed them to see what is going on and got this reply:
'We've not been able to find the right Chef to support Michael in his absence.
As a result we've now had to reduce our opening times to ensure consistent quality at our busy …
Eliz - I went there when I first moved to the area. I had the first appointment of the day (before work), I waited 40 minutes past the appointment time and when the dentist still hadn't arrived I gave up. Sounds like I had a lucky escape.
Has anyone been to Season for weekend brunch? I went last Sunday and yesterday at noon but is was closed on both occasions. The website says brunch is from 1130am so I am a bit confused.
They have this place, which is the best place to buy classic men's footwear and clothing (if you are into that sort of thing). My friends in the US have them sent over.

I like Malcolm too. I have just had valuations done by him, David Philips and Winkworth. Winkworth sold the place next door to me but didn't seem very enthusiastic and I wasn't impressed. David Philips seemed very slick and reminded my a bit of m…
I found a bird with a broken wing and called the RSPCA. They told me I could take it to Dragon and the RSPCA would pay for the first treatment. Dragon didn't seem very impressed at all but did take it in, however it died soon afterwards.
I always get the Piccadilly line. I leave 1 hour 30 because I have a thing about being early. It usually takes max 1h 15mins, is cheap and I reckon not much slower than getting to the Heathrow Express, waiting around etc. Good luck!
My cats HATE travelling to the vet so I use Caroline at Home Visit Vet
http://www.homevisitvet.co.uk/ She is very good and my cats are much happier to be seen at home.
I would love to find a good cattery within a few hours drive. I visited Drag…
