2 Weeks of Eating Out

 So my blog posts haven't been very consistent recently, but to be honest, I haven't taken enough photos to warrant blog posts for everything I've been up to. Here is a post about a few places I have been to recently.

(Just a warning that I haven't had my usual camera on me for these trips, so the quality of the photos isn't as good as normal!)

  Cafe Fleur, Wandsworth

This cafe is owned by a friend of a friend, and it is newly opened. It is nestled on a street corner in Wandsworth, and is the perfect place for a delicious breakfast or a lunch with friends.

There are a huge range of dishes on the menu, from full blown breakfasts, to salads and sandwiches, and a hot dish of the day, or tea and cakes.

I had a gorgeous 'Power Salad' with betroot, spinach and gorgonzola with a honey dressing. A great lunch, and it was followed by the gigantic slice of rocky road at the top of this post! Amazing.

It's conveniently placed for local schools, businesses and the 'yummy mummies' of Wandsworth. It has a great atmosphere and will definitely be going back soon!

Next I've been at Pizza East with a big group of friends, sipping on cocktails and eating pizza, of course. Espresso martinis are my favourite, and in my books almost any occasion calls for one!

We had a super delicious sharing plate of burrata, swiss chard and olives. Delicious creamy cheese, perfect for dipping pizza crusts in.

And we then cracked on to the passionfruit martinis which were so delicious we ended up having 4 each... Oops.

Although I won't rant and rave about the pizzas, the cocktails are amazing here. I love going and sitting at the bar area and drinking cocktails and ordering small platters to share.

Finally, I organised for a group of us from work to go to Trishna, in Marylebone. It is a michelin-star Indian restaurant, and it was really fantastic food. Having travelled around India, I am definitely a huge fan of Indian cuisine, and this meal ticked all the boxes for me.

We had a set 5-course menu, which consisted of prawn tempura, duck rolls with mango puree, sea break in a coriander marinade, paneer tikka (above - incredible) or duck curry, and cardamom rice pudding.

The sea bream was definitely one of my favourite dishes. It was perfectly cooked and light and fresh. I could eat this over and over again!

The paneer tikka (2 pictures above) was surrounded with one of my favourite vegetables - sweet corn. It was absolutely delicious, and there was dahl on the table too, which was a great surprise as I love dahl.

Finally, we had a choice of mango sorbet, or cardamom rice pudding. The rice pudding had to be tried, and it was cold which surprised us, but still exceeded our expectations. Scattered with crushed pistachios, it was a nice light ending to what had been a pretty epic meal!

If anyone has any recommendations for me in London, I have a group from work and we go out for dinner quite often. There are about 15-20 of us, and we love trying new places in London, so please do let me know any suggestions!
