The wonders of Wardour

Yet another example of deliciousness to pop up on Wardour Street and right next to The Hummingbird Bakery...Decisions, decisions! My walk to the tube just became a little more calorific!

Wahaca...new to Soho

I love Mexican food and I love fresh, wholesome ingredients, that's why I love Wahaca! So, I'm very happy to see the new Soho branch is now open on Wardour Street (so close it is going to be dangerous!). The food is yummy and authentic, the atmosphere buzzing and the tequila delicious. Love reading their menu...Mmmmm quesadilla!

Temptation at Princi

The team at Princi have got it so right. How can anybody walk past a delicious sight like this, without giving in to temptation? Not sure why some of them are upside down...will have to ask my Dad (former baker/ permanent Italian!).

London Wallpaper

I love this wallpaper in the new JOY shop on Wardour Street. Apparently it was designed by an Australian artist, just for this store. It captures all the iconic elements of the surrounding area including China Town, Sex Shops and the Eros fountain. Would love to see this created for other London areas...





 

Princi...bread heaven

If, like me, you are a bread monster or you have a weakness for cakes, then pop your head around the door of Princi on Wardour Street. This great Milanese style café/bar is the brainchild of the wonderous Alan Yau, who brought us the likes of Wagamama and Hakkasan. There is an on site bakery that produces a mouth watering selection of wheat goodies, as well as delicious pasta and salad dishes - all at reasonable prices. It's a great place to read the papers on a Sunday with a cappuccino and cake, as a treat for lunch or even for a late night snack and glass of wine on a Friday, when it's buzzing with Soho revellers. I kept the photos to a minimum as not to spoil the element of surprise when you walk in and clock the counter. Here is something to get your mouth watering though...
