Where to eat - Burger & Lobster London

Going by the number of tweets and instagrams, I can safely say that Burger and Lobster has become a London institution. Concept wise its pretty neat, serve only burgers and lobsters with chips and garlic butter sauce, add a good mix of cocktails/beers/wine, and you will be guaranteed to never find an empty seat in the restaurant. Everything is for £20 (with sides) so price wise its a bargain in London. They don't take table reservation unless its a party of 6 or more so the wait line is huge. My suggestion is that you pop in before the rush hour, around 5-5.30ish in the evening, grab a drink and enjoy your meal in peace. Location wise, B&L have four branches, Soho, Mayfair, Farringdon and the City. I went to the Soho one and here's what I ordered.

I went for the Lobster instead of the burger and it came with chips, salad and garlic butter sauce. You need to get a bit grubby with your hands while eating this so don't be shy. I had a trendy Topshopy set on one side and a YSL and Chanel flag bearer on the other, and trust me, they were all getting down and dirty with their meal. So bib on and attack. 

Just a word of warning, this is not a place for vegetarians unless you are happy with chips and salads. Another thing I really liked about this place was that they never hurried us, even when there was a huge waiting line outside. Burger & Lobster is a lively place where you can catch up with friends or just unwind after a long London day. If you are visiting London or planning to, pop in for a meal. You won't be disappointed.   

Tapas @ Covent Garden

For me, a brunch is something to be shared. If I am eating alone I always end up ordering more than I can eat. And because I don't want to walk around carrying food all day, I end up stuffing myself and feel completely bloated. Thats why I love a tapas bar. And the Pix Bar wins it for me in terms of choice and price. I have only been to their Covent Garden branch which is quite cozy and on Neal Street which I love.

How it works is that you grab a plate, choose your nibbles with their sticks and head to the den. You will be given a glass jar to collect all your sticks. At the end of your meal the tab is counted against the sticks, small ones cost £1.95, the longer ones are priced at £2.95. Cocktails and drinks are to be ordered separately. I went for a watermelon martini and happily hogged away for the better part of an hour. Felt like a proper feast without the bloated feeling.
