Review of Bill's Canteen
29 Apr 08, 10:52
cuisine deluxe 
Bill’s canteen is a little place of food delight. Choosing your breakfast in the morning is difficult already (the bacon bagels are the best!) but the lunch menu is even better. I highly recommend visiting Bill’s on a Tuesday: it’s pie day! Bill and his ever friendly team will surprise you with their own homemade pies. They also offer a great choice of sandwiches, salads, jacket potatoes and not to forget the sweets! One thing though: stay clear of the curry and crumble combo on Thursdays. You might risk passing out on a carbohydrate-high!

Review of Wasabi
29 Apr 08, 10:50
best Sushi ever!
This has to be my number one Sushi place! They have a selection of hot food (stir-fries mainly, have to admit I never tried them but people are queuing up on the street for them so I guess they must be good?!) I come here for the Sushi and though there are other Sushi places closer to work I keep coming back to Wasabi Sushi. They have a choice of sashimi and sushi boxes but you can also pick and mix your own. Price is average I guess but great quality and everything is being freshly prepared.

Review of Ping Pong Dim Sum
29 Apr 08, 10:47
you can never go wrong with DimSum
If it was up to me and my budget I would eat at this place probably every day. I love their food (apart from the fried stuff, not really my thing…) and like going back there and finding new things on their menu. They have a great choice of cocktails, martinis, teas and fresh juices. Not to mention the deserts…though PingPong is a chain I think food quality and service are amazing. It might be a bit pricier then most of your average chains in the area but always worth a visit.

Review of The Big Chill House
29 Apr 08, 10:43
cool bar, slow service 
I had high expectations when I first went to the Big Chill House as my friends were shouting about it how cool it was. Have to agree that it is a pretty cool bar with split level, a roof terrace and good music. But be prepared to wait at the bar. It seemed to me that the bar staff didn’t know anything about serving drinks. I got so annoyed by the end of the evening that I stopped buying drinks. I would rate this place higher but the service is a bit of a downer.

Review of Fiori Corner
29 Apr 08, 10:41
little Italy on Leicester Square 
You can’t miss the Café/Bar/Restaurant/Doner/Pizza/Pasta takeaway place on the corner of Leicester Square. We go there quite regularly to get a pasta take out during our lunch breaks at work, They have a great choice of sandwiches, paninis, kebabs and pizzas. I can highly recommend the pasta, for £3,50 you can’t get anything better for that money around Leicester Square. I’d stay clear off the fry-ups though, they look well greasy from what I have seen!

Review of The Phoenix
21 Apr 08, 13:20
your average everyday pub
I have come here a couple of times and can’t say anything really bad or good about it. It’s got a nice pub area with lots of comfy sofas and arm chairs. You could spend a whole rainy Sunday here, sipping red wine, reading the papers or meeting your friends. They have a nice restaurant area in the back. Not a massive fan of the food though to be honest. I find it a bit overpriced for the quality you get in the end but that’s probably Chelsea for you.

Review of Aflorum Florist
18 Apr 08, 15:40
lovely shop always worth a visit!
This little flower shop near Kings Cross station only opened a couple of month ago. I live in the neighbourhood and find it difficult to go past without popping in and buying something. They always have a nice choice of flowers. But even better is their selection of orchids. They come in all colours, variations and sizes. All their flowers are reasonably prized and the staff is always really friendly and helpful.

Review of All Bar One
18 Apr 08, 15:30
not all that bad
I know that All Bar One doesn’t have the best reputation ever, especially the one in Leicester Square. But after all: they have an outside space on the Square which makes up for the slow staff (be prepared to wait for at least 20 min until you get served) and changing quality of food. But if you are lucky and get a seat outside you probably don’t mind waiting for your orders for a little while.

Review of Browns
18 Apr 08, 15:22
can’t make anything wrong with this place!
Browns is probably one of the more classier and a bit pricier places around Leicester Square. But the inside decor is great and very tasteful. The place is perfect for work lunches, pre-theatre dinners or cocktails after work. I quite like coming here, it makes a nice change to the usual trip to pub after work.

Review of The Porterhouse
17 Apr 08, 15:49
a pub maze
This place is massive. Every time I go there I seem to be finding new floors, bars, tables etc. It’s got a great atmosphere but can get really busy on the weekend so better go there during the week. They have an amazing choice of beer so the perfect place for any beer lovers!
