Thursday, January 25th 2019 – Anarki, Copenhagen January was mostly quiet, if you ignore the massive birthday party I threw in the second week, and meant that there wasn’t a great deal to write about. However, I did have another business trip to Copenhagen, and having stayed one night longer than my fellow non-Danish colleagues…

Food 2018/2019 – Kodbyens Fiskebar, Copenhagen
Monday, 29th October 2018/Tuesday, 22nd January 2019 – Kodbyens Fiskebar, Copenhagen If you ask me to pick a favourite restaurant in Copenhagen I’d be hard pressed to give you any answer that wasn’t Kødbyens Fiskebar. I have been several times, and I just keep on returning for a variety of reasons. One of the main…
Travel/Food 2018 – La Nonna and Bar Douro, London
Thursday, 20th December 2018 – La Nonna, Bar Douro, London Having taken an afternoon off in order to use up the last of my holiday for 2018, and to make it easier to do some serious food shopping, IÂ decided I would walk to Borough Market from the office. It takes a good 20 minutes…
Food 2018 – Bar Encore, Towcester
Saturday, 17th November/11th December 2018 – Bar Encore, Towcester After a couple of slightly rocky visits to Bar Encore when I’d repeatedly had to teach the cocktail barman how to make a caipirinha (and the answer is not the way he was making it with syrup and lime juice – but I digress and to…
Food 2018 – The Yard, Towcester
Friday, December 7th 2018 – The Yard, Towcester It pains me to have to do what is essentially going to be a hatchet job on any restaurant but we tried the latest place to open in our home town last Friday and it was not an edifying affair. La Strada, after a chequered half decade…
Food 2018 – Gaijin, Helsinki
Sunday, 2nd December 2018 – Gaijin, Helsinki Sunday night in Helsinki (and even more so in the rest of Finland in our experience) is a tricky one. Because staff are paid a hefty premium for working on a Sunday, open restaurants are hard to find, if not almost impossible as we discovered in Hämeenlinna in…
Food 2018 – Emo, Helsinki
Saturday, 1st December 2018 – Emo, Helsinki Once again we put ourselves in the hands of the guides, with the White Guide describing Gastrobar EMO as somewhere that “has a toned-down, Japanesy feel to it with vertical textile screens that do very little to stop your neighbours from hearing or seeing what you’re up to……
Food 2018 – Ask, Helsinki
Friday, 30th December 2018 – Ask, Helsinki The White Guide says “Dazzling Finnish poetry – In the sparsely decorated room, with benches along the walls and Ilmari Tapiovaara’s simple wooden chairs, nothing here betrays that we are about to be treated to a spectacular show in roughly fifteen acts. Chef Filip Langhoff surely learned a…
Food 2018 – Natura, Helsinki
Thursday, 29th November 2018 – Natura, Helsinki On our first night in town I’d booked for dinner about as close to the hotel as I could get, based on recommendations from both Michelin and the White Guide. For our first dinner I’d gone for Natura, which surprisingly isn’t in the White Guide, but that is…
Food 2018 – Tight, Copenhagen
Wednesday, 31st October 2018 – Tight, Copenhagen This was a day when I let my colleague choose where we went for dinner, though to be fair he had requested that we go to Kødbyens Fiskebar the first night and I’d left him to his own devices on the Tuesday when I went out with a…
