When in Soho - Mooli’s Rotis

Fresh and healthy Indian street food in the form of roti wraps (meat or veggie versions) made fresh in a little cafe in the heart of London’s Soho (on Frith St).

Scoop Soho, London I am constantly on the look-out for candidates for Best Ice Cream Parlour in the World (not surprisingly most of them are situated in Italy - Turin, Florence, Milan). However, London has recently gone up in the stakes by presenting several new candidates (more on these in future posts no doubt). In the meantime, I recently dropped by the second branch of Scoop (the first is in Covent Garden) tucked away behind Piccadilly Circus on Brewer St. Scoop is traditionally Italian, so cream/milk/sugar form the basis of the ice creams and sorbets. No artificial colours are used (hence my mint ice cream on the left side of the photo is pure white), and really fine ingredients are used throughout (my pistachio ice cream on the right sources its pistachios from Bronte, a tiny Sicilian village whose volcanic soil give them a unique and slightly toasted flavour). For the moment Scoop certainly tops the London leg of the competition. You may also be interested in: NORDIC BAKERY SOHO > HOMEMADE BISCOTTI > .

Hix Bar - Drinks in Soho, London

The Hix Bar on Brewer St is an ecclectic hideaway with a speakeasy feel. A perfect way to ignore the January Blues. My superb Avenue cocktail was conjured up expertly by the friendly and sexy in-house mixologist team. Our lovely Brazilian waitress Claudia took great care of us throughout the evening; finding us a new home when we complained of a draught and plied us with lovely foodie freebies such as Finnan haddock cakes with horseradish cream and posh pork scratchings with apple sauce to make things up to us. We also ordered off-menu (a request from a memorable previous experience) a roasted marrow bone with a herbed bread crumb topping. January diets are so 2009.

Other speakeasy bars to try in London: Callooh Callay, Lounge Bohemia, 69 Colebrook Row
