66-70, Brewer Street, London, W1F 9UP

Mark Hix is not one to shy away from the limelight, he is a regular writer in the Independent newspaper and a TV celebrity. However he knows a thing or two about food. Hix in Soho is a welcoming and vibrant restaurant that reflects it’s owners personality.

The menu has some of the best British ingredients around, combine that with an apparent level of confidence makes an interesting and successful combination. We recommend the excellent roast chicken dish. There is also a busy bar downstairs that is well worth a visit without stopping by for a meal.

22 Store Street, WC1E 7DS

This very popular Thai food chain started in 1998 and has grown every year since then. However the standard of food has not dipped at all. They still have the finest foods mixed in with a fast and friendly service.

The pad thai at Busaba Eathai is excellent. If you have been to Thailand and tasted the food over there you will know that you won’t find food in the UK as authentic as you can here. Perfect for a quick lunch or early evening meal.

Fun and colourful the original branch of this popular Lebanese cafe has a interesting and varied array of food’s. It’s open all day so you can pop in at any point for a falafel, its also BYO drink so is the perfect place to start a boozy night.

We recommend the mint tea and the organic couscous. This cafe is very popular and we imagine it will continue to be so.
