Review of Incognico

Go Incognico 
I have had a couple of fantastic, memorable evenings here. It's a good central place for special occasions, but despite its excellent location near Cambridge Circus, not many people seem to know about it. Maybe this is because the restaurant doesn't draw attention to itself- instead of tables positioned needily by the windows, a curtained facade protects the diners from unwanted onlookers. Dark leather chairs slouch pleasingly next to sparkling white tablecloths and glassware.The ambience inside, therefore, is covert and private, making it slightly romantic and coy.
The food I have eaten here has never been anything less than superb. The portions look light, but are rich enough to be satisfying. The asparagus risotto really stands out, as do their fish dishes. The sommeliers aren't pushy at all, and make gentle, helpful suggestions.
I love it here. It's grown-up, quiet, and sophisticated. All the things I'm not. Definitely worth your time.

Review of The Photographers Gallery
23 Aug 07, 16:30
Always an unexpected treat 
The Photographers' Gallery consistently showcases some of the best photography of the century. I am always surprised by how long I can spend in such a little place. The great thing about it is that none of the exhibitions are too large, or too elitist, or too expensive (in fact most of the gallery is free). I have never popped in and not stayed for less than an hour. It's a fantastic little gem in an otherwise really touristy, loud and hectic area of London.
Go in one day and have a look around. The bookshop alone could keep me happy for hours. Then treat yourself to one of their homemade cakes and a cup of superior coffee, and be glad that London has places like this. 5 stars.
