Moo Cantina is a small Argentinian chain scattered around different areas of London. This…read moreparticular branch in Middlesex Street is not a place you'll usually find yourself looking for a restaurant unless you live or work in the area. Located near the back of Aldgate Station, the street was pretty empty in the evening and so it was not a surprise that we were first in the restaurant at around 6pm on a weekday. The decor here was pretty standard compared to their other branches which had a bit more colour to it. They went for the casual wooden bar look with dim comfortable lighting. Service was friendly and smiley which made us feel more welcomed in the empty restaurant. For food we went for the following: Argentina chorizo The meal started with the chorizo which was lovely and juicy, full of bounce and flavour unlike the supermarket ones you get. It was dressed with a slice of sweet red pepper which added a nice contrast of softness and drizzled over with chimichurri which added some tanginess from the vinegar and depth of flavour moving away from the red spices and to another variety of herbs that includes parsley and oregano. Provolone cheese A lovely rich cheese seasoned with spices before being grilled till it melted. They did however over salted it which made it hard to consume in large amounts, even with the accompanied toast. Fried beef empanadas Sometimes I still get cravings for their beef empanadas as its one of the best I've had. The pastry was crispy yet doughy and filled with a generous amount of minced beef, packed full of flavour and sweetness with the addition of vegetables and herbs used. Very juicy too. Baked sweet potato empanadas. Even more surprisingly was how good the sweet potato empanadas was. Soft velvety creamed sweet potato consistency in a more thin and delicate pastry. I really enjoyed the sensation of it all melting inside my mouth. Lomito Porteño I had to order their speciality dish, the Argentinian sandwich, similar to a panini being grilled too. We chose one with a rib eye steak in between and it was cooked medium rare as requested. It was good but I have had sweeter better seasoned steak. It was however saved by the other flavours. The salty provolone cheese gave it depth and seasoning whereas the addition of rocket and pepper add not only texture but a lighter refreshing taste. Napolitana lomito I much preferred this lomito. The beef being deep fried with a lovely herby batter gave the sandwich a greater flavour. The addition of ham made it more exciting and the mozzarella added bounce and helped wrapped everything together. All was finished nicely with the tomatoes and lettuce which gave it the moisture and lighter element it needed. Revuelto gramajo. What a great side to have. It was so moreish it was almost gone in an instant. Scrambled eggs with onions, peas and fries. It was fluffy, eggy, fragrant and warm. The ultimate comfort food. Highly recommended! Olivier salad Sadly this was disappointing. The dish consisted of potatoes, peas and carrots in mayo that tasted like it came out of a can. The peas didn't taste fresh and the mayonnaise was poor quality, lacking that rich eggy taste it needed. It was all under seasoned too. So overall the experience was good with some dishes really hitting the spot like the empanadas. For a chain it does well with reasonable prices. Although saying that they have made cuts, like their sandwiches no longer comes with fries. Just don't expect Wagyu steak and you can get a reasonable meal.

PRE-RONA.... This…read moreis one of my favorite places in London. Sometimes you want to go to a spot that has a bunch of variety and is close enough to the hustle and bustle with a spin on being far away from everyone else. This is really a review for the drinks in the bar downstairs and the vibe of that secret speakeasy. This is one of my favorite secret spots in London that is a part of Momo. The drinks are some of the most inventive cocktails and the vibe brings you to a different place and time. If you're looking for a break from the pub life... head downstairs to the bar. Hopefully, it will be safe to drink inside again soon.

The bar was busy when we got there and were told they could not accommodate us because we were not guests of the hotel. They suggested we sit in a different area (the bar in the next room). This did not have as much character, and the lady serving us was perhaps one of the most incompetent people that I've come across in a long time. In all, we felt that the drinks were just not worth the price for what was not even really the American bar and with bad service. Hefty automatic service charge is added. I wouldn't go back.

Upon entry, waitresses greeted us with glasses of champagne and we were never left with empty glasses. (Cheers to that!!) Even though their menu options for large groups was very "protein" centric, they were outstandingly accommodating to my being vegan. At no additional cost they prepared a vegan starter and main, that varied from the rest of the group. They were also very respectful of food allergies. The beet root carpaccio (pictured) was delicious. The beer root was very thinly sliced, topped with fresh arugula and drizzled with balsamic glaze. For my main, the staff crafted up a vegan risotto with barley as the center of the dish accompanied by squash and leafy greens. The squash had a truly smoky flavor and the barley was perfectly cooked. I would absolutely recommend booking an event here if you need a private room or space for a large group of guests. The accommodating nature, the vibes, the food, and the attentive service will ABSOLUTELY win you over!! Thank you, Hush!!

Fantastic…read more I thought the concept of Piano Works was brilliant - a sort of live juke box, if you will. This cleverly thought out bar is designed so that wherever you sit, you have view of the pianists/singers/house band on stage performing one tune after another amazingly and perfectly in synch. At the table, you have a musical napkin where you can write down your name and a song you'd like them to play, the very friendly, upbeat waiters come round take them up to the stage and this talented group of musicians will just kill it every time. It's really impressive to see how skillfully they work together. On the downside, I wouldn't come to this place for food. The food isn't terrible, it's edible, but not worth the money to be honest. If you want a table on a Thursday/Friday or Saturday, definitely book well in advance, the first time I tried to go there, I tried booking a week in advance and it was all fully booked. When we went there on a Friday night, they were doing one in one out, so it does get packed. However, all the other days, you should be fine just walking straight in for free. This is one of those places where if you're a musician, you'd want to work there and if you're not, you suddenly want to take up learning an instrument... I'd strongly recommend Piano Works.

This really is a hidden gem…read more Just away from the hustle of bustle from the main at Clapham Common it this lovely Lebenese Restaurant and bar. A friend found this restaurant while looking for a restaurant that would take the Taste Card. In the end we took advantage of their mid-week deals of 2 courses for £9.95 - bargain. The food was simple, fresh and generous. I had a Halloumi starter which was perfectly grilled and not too squeeky at all and an Okra and rice main. All were very tasty, very generous and came with a fresh side salad. The menu is very good for vegetarians and has an extensive drinks list. More impressivly, alongside it's really reasonably priced cocktail list was a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks (not just a can of diet coke for me) We had fantastic service from a very freindly guy in a blue jumper and our waitress, who pre-empted our desire for extra chilli and garlic sauce. Overall I was very plesantly surprised. I normally dislike restaurants that play popular music and have a version of MTV showing on all walls, but the music wasn't soo loud it drowned out the conversation. There's plenty of room inside and outside. With Shisha and outdoor heaters as well as a clean and sleek decore, I can see this place ticking all the boxes for a good night out with drinks too. So if you're in the area and fancy some fresh grub and a bit of Shisha - take a turn off the main road for a real solid establishment.
