Recent Fluid reviews for bars & restaurants in London
The Mitre Notting Hill (Map)
“‘Mitre’ is one of those lesser used words. It describes splendidly crafted corners; the sort of corner Jesus’s human-form Dad would’ve known how to produce, without help from his miracle-forming prodigy....” More

Zia Teresa, Knightsbridge (Restaurant)
“Three weeks ago I touched down at the airport with a lump in my throat. I’d just spent three wonderful days in Milan, a city popping at the seams with world famous fashion houses, beautiful ornate architecture...”
Claire Williams, Fluid London reviewer

Getti, Marylebone (Bar / Restaurant)
“To visit Marylebone village is to escape central London without leaving. To the south heaves the suffocating throng of Oxford Street shoppers, trudging through the January sales in pursuit of that elusive...”

Yumchaa, Soho (Bar)
“If, like me, you hate the mass produced, impersonal, noisy chain coffee shops cluttering the high street, or if, again like me, you only drink coffee when it is wrapped in chocolate at the end of a tin...”

The Pear Tree, Hammersmith (Bar)
“First impressions count for a great deal. They can mean the difference between being perceived as welcoming or rude; friendly or frightening; charming or vulgar. They count for a lot and a person or place...”

Fish! Kitchen, Barnes & Sheen (Restaurant)
“To most Brits, fish and chips are sacrosanct, but many restaurateurs look to put a new twist on established classics and this is exactly the intention with the new branch of fish! in south-west London;...”

Tortilla, Canary Wharf (Restaurant)
“Mmm Mexico, I remember thee well. I’ve been lucky enough to visit and have nothing but fond memories of the food, pleasant (albeit hazy) memories of the tequila, and, well, for the rest – what happened...”

The Clarence, Westminster (Bar / Restaurant)
“Let’s face it – the British are not known for their culinary abilities. We all know that old joke that details the key differences between heaven and hell. Heaven is run by the Swiss. The police are English,...”

O'Neill's, Soho (Bar)
“In some ways returning from a night out at the pub with nothing to report is quite a good thing. Rarely does the grub serve as anything more than fuel to keep you going through the evening. The pies are...”
Kimberley Smith, Fluid London reviewer

Fish! Kitchen, Kingston (Restaurant)
“There are better things to do on a Friday night than drive halfway across London in packed traffic to go to Kingston, of all places. My mood is dark, which is reflected in the drab, horrid weather I’m...”

The Three Bells, Heathrow Airport (Bar / Restaurant)
““This is a passenger announcement. Could passenger Khan meeting representatives from the Royal Dorchester please make his way to the Quantas information desk in sector G.”
Royal Dorchester, eh? Sounds...”

Da Scalzo Art Brasserie, Victoria (Bar / Restaurant)
“It started back in the early noughties with gruesome twosome Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck being dubbed the sickening Bennifer by gleeful tabloid hacks. Their relationship may not have lasted but the...”
Kate Williams, Fluid London reviewer

Quo Vadis, Soho (Restaurant / Club)
“There’s a girl grinning at me inanely as though it’s her birthday or something. Luckily for me, a sizable chunk of table lies between us. Luckily for her, she has friends like me to grin at when they take...”

Fox & Anchor, Clerkenwell (Bar)
“Venturing into the city for a bite to eat isn't something that excites me. Sitting down to dinner at a time when, seemingly, all of London's pinstriped office workers are intent on getting pissed, regardless...”
Paul Wells, Fluid London reviewer

The Refinery, Borough & Southwark (Bar / Restaurant)
“Heading into the centre of a deserted Southwark on a Tuesday night is quite a strange thing to do. The streets were pretty much empty, except for a few harassed-looking souls heading towards the tube station...”
Jacqui Parr, Fluid London reviewer

The Parlour, Canary Wharf (Bar / Restaurant)
“The tortoise and the hare; a child’s fable of which I am particularly well versed and one that struck recollect on my way to visit The Parlour. My slumbering hare materialised as a static train and as...”

YO! Sushi, Notting Hill (Restaurant)
“Were you one of those kids who travelled a lot? My parents were masochists and loved to haul their four scrawny-arsed midgets on long-distance flights all across the world. For me the part of the trip...”

Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK), London Bridge & Bermondsey (Restaurant)
“As a person who enjoys eating out, I often find myself subject to the fear of succumbing to the modern disease that is being overweight. 'Fat' has connotations of being jolly and playful and living life...”
Paul Wells, Fluid London reviewer

The George, City of London (Bar / Restaurant / Hotel)
“The nation’s favourite dish is curry. Jamie “pukka” Oliver is keeping an eye on school kids as they cram junk food into their gelatinous faces. Michelin-starred Gordon Ramsay makes chicken kievs with Jordan...”
Steve Kent, Fluid London reviewer
04 Nov 09}
Eastway, City of London (Bar / Restaurant / Hotel)
“It’s probably not best practice to start a review with the word ‘pork’ twice in the opening paragraph, but there’s an exception to every rule. Free-range slow braised pork is Eastway’s signature dish and...”
