The Barbary

Iconic food experience.

 

Hidden away in one of London’s cutest little corners, Neal’s Yard, is one of the city’s very best restaurants. The Barbary has consistently been the top of every hitlist for years now and there’s no surprise. The restaurant itself is all counter-seating surrounding the kitchen which makes for some excellent people-watching as you sit mesmerised by the chefs cooking all the delicious foods.

Serving up North African cooking (inspired by the Barbary Coast) you will be enjoying some incredibly tasty dishes. And most of the dishes are based on FIRE. Whether it’s from land (chicken shwarma or pata negra), sea (black salmon or octopus) or earth (cauliflower or grilled halloumi), it all tastes better when charred and spiced up.

Tip of the day: Two for the price of one. 1/ The breads are insane. Particularly the Jerusalem Bagel. Get like 17 of these with all the dips and you can die happy. 2/ The best way to order is just to watch what the chefs are cooking and then tell them to add whatever catches your eye to your order. Never fails :)

We recently returned from a fantastic trip to Oslo, where sauna culture is huge. All Norwegians love to sauna. And we are now absolute converts to the sauna life too. The difficulty here in London is that saunas (and spas) are not the most affordable.

Islington is definitely the prime centre of London’s gastropub scene right now, with the likes of The Pig & Butcher and The Drapers Arms leading the way to show the rest of the city how to do pub food. And, after a recent renovation, The Baring is pushing those boundaries again with a gorgeous reinvention serving some fantastic dishes.

Who doesn’t enjoy getting a bit of creativity into their lives? Get those juices flowing at cone8, a lovely little pottery studio in the quieter recesses of Hackney Wick. Some might say it’s the perfect aperitif ahead of an awesome night out across the canal in the busier areas of The Wick.
