Words by Chloe Hayward. Chocolate and red wine, one of the most unexpected and complementary taste combinations known to man. We had been salivating ever since we received the invitation to attend a Malbec and chocolate tasting evening with master chocolatier Paul A Young at Cavas de Gaucho to celebrate the pairing of the deep...

Words by Alicja McCarthy. What’s this? A dinner invite to Babbo in Mayfair? How lovely. We do a little research (as you do) into this authentic Italian restaurant as we haven’t come across it before. We’re silly happy to learn we’ll be dining at a world class place. Discovering that Chef Douglas Santi has worked... Read more
Words by Lucy Glover. We like to think we are food connoisseurs here at Art Wednesday, so we were extra excited when an e-mail entitled ‘Tastes of Argentina’ popped into our inbox. A day combining steak, chocolate and wine: where do we sign up? Hosted by Decanter and Wines of Argentina, and taking place in... Read more
Words by Emily Steer. We have stumbled across a rare thing: a restaurant in the usually eye-wateringly priced area of Bishopsgate that is actually undercharging. Maybe we shouldn’t shout about this too loudly in case they hear and push their prices up, but we were literally gobsmacked at the value for money. The quality of... Read more
Words by Marissa Cox. We’ve always been a little sceptical about eating at restaurants in hotels. Not because the food might be bad, but because we’re usually surrounded by guests who don’t know where else to eat, or haven’t got the inclination to eat elsewhere, which in our eyes slightly lowers the standards. But in... Read more
Words by Quentin Jones & Emma Paterson. August in London, and like any other month, we’re hungry. So in we trundle from the rain-soaked desolation of midweek Portobello to have our spirits lifted by the understated energy of the Electric Brasserie, gastronomic home to the well groomed and well-heeled. Moseying in for Monday night supper,... Read more
Words by Jessica Warren. We hate to admit it, but we don’t normally venture South of the river. Yet after visiting The Garrison gastropub near Tower Bridge, we will definitely be going back more often. We decided to take a fellow East London food enthusiast along with us for lunch, a very good decision in... Read more
Words Alicja McCarthy. Meeting your best friend for dinner is always exciting, and when you haven’t seen each other for a while (she’s a new mum), going for a slap up meal in an award-winning restaurant is about as good as it gets. Tonight we’re in Bermondsey Village – one of London’s more fashionable and popular... Read more
Words by Emily Steer. We got a little bit over excited at the Albion Cafe and decided to go for a couple of gin & elderflower based cocktails just gone one in the afternoon. We then devoured the entire bread basket and ordered a further gigantic two courses followed up with a soup bowl sized... Read more
Oh, do we admit this or do we try and pretend we’ve never been? Ok so we’ve maybe been to one or two polo matches in our time and they’ve actually been rah-ther fun. Fair enough, it’s not your average day out where you might nip to the park, kick a football or throw a... Read more
