Cafe Cafe on Harrow on the Hill is a bar, restaurant and cafe. The front over looks Harrow on the…read moreHill's pretty and old-fashioned high street and has outdoor seating allowing you to sip your coffee and people watch continental style. The food in the restaurant is varied from quintessentially English food such as roast lamb, to more exotic dishes such as Thai curry. The cafe at the front serves bar snacks and sandwiches and I would highly recommend the steak sandwich with chips which is a somewhat cheaper alternative to a meal in the fairly expensive restaurant, if not just as good. As one of the few bars at the top of the hill Cafe Cafe can get very busy on a Friday or Saturday evening so head down early if you want to get a seat. The cafe also gets busy at weekends when rich parents from the home counties come down to take their children from the nearby boarding school out to lunch.

Cafe Cafe is really more of a wine bar than anything it else. They offer a great wine list in here…read morenot to mention a lovely selection of cocktails and spirits. Clearly they are catering for the Harrow-on-the-Hill wino's because the prices are a lot more expensive than you would find anywhere near the tube station. Having said this it is this very location that makes Cafe Cafe such a nice place to drink. Weaving between the old houses and bendy streets Harrow-on-the-Hill feels like and old fashioned town and Cafe Cafe fits in perfectly. The menu is a bit eclectic and I'm not really sure what they are trying to achieve. British staples, American snacks, Italian pizza's and Thai curries all sit side by side. Some of these dishes are better than others but generally I get the feeling that everything is home made and good quality. Portions are pretty substantial so they make it worthwhile spending that bit more. Cafe Cafe biggest problem is that it unfortunately attracts the parents of the boarding school nearby. This rich set are often quite rude and generally a bit ignorant to the way a bar like this works. I was shocked to watch a lady actually click for service (I've only ever seen that done in Home Alone). Nonetheless, if you happen to be on the hill I would recommend you pop in here for a couple before heading next door to Incanto for a lovely Italian meal. Harrow-on-the-Hill might be a bit too posh for its own good but it does boast some very nice places.

I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was sweet and tangy and very messy which paired well with a sweet tea. The meatloaf and mac & cheese was good too and a big helpin' perfect with a tart dirty lemonade. And the black cherry cheesecake square was delectable. I can see why they are so popular. Satisfyingly I can add that I ended my food trip with the Buttermilk Blues for breakfast and fresh-squeezed juice. Almost home.

Unfortunately, it's a bit of a trek for me, so it hadn't happened. However, I got a Facebook notice about a special wine and food night they were having: A New York State of Wine. It was showcasing traditional American dishes and New York wines. One thing I learned is that New York makes wine! And some of it is actually pretty darn good! So the food at Blue Plate is American-style food. The evening was a special tasting menu. Most of the courses were quite tasty and well done, and a few needed some work, but I imagine a lot of it is due to the fact that they aren't typically a tasting menu sort of place. The duck meatloaf, red snapper hash, sausages and black bean soup were pretty amazing. If that night was a good showing of what they typically do, I'll be back. I was told by one of the David's (both the owners are named David) that brunch is what they do best. Since it's my favorite meal of the day, I hope one day to trek out to Chiswick to give their brunch a chance!

While researching for a Beef Wellington restaurant to take my boyfriend as a part of our London…read morebucketlist, I identified 45 Jermyn St as best value. I made a reservation online with Seven Rooms. The address is in the business' name. To get to this restaurant you can take the Piccadilly line and exit Piccadilly Circus and it's less than a 10 minutes walk over. We headed to the area a little early to explore Piccadilly Circus and Fortnum and Mason next door. Upon entering, there is a coat check that can take our outerwear or backpacks. The card they gave us for our belongings were really fancy. Then we were seating at a cozy half booth. Since we knew what we wanted, we were able to quickly order when our server came around to take our orders. We wanted the Beef Wellington for 2 (£99.50) that comes with sides of Dauphinoise Potatoes and Green Beans in Peppercorn Sauce. We were surprised to be told it would be a 40 minutes wait time for the Beef Wellington due to the tableside sauce making, and it seemed like only one person was performing this task. We got some bread to start, but I didn't want to eat too much cause it would ruin my appetite for the main attraction. I also ordered a glass of Massale Pinot Noir (£15.25) and asked that it would be brought out when the food was ready. When the food was finally ready the tableside service was a fun show. All the ingredients were premeasured for the tableside chef, and he showed us every single ingredient he put it. Then he skillfully cut up the wellington without cracking or denting the crust. He mentioned starting out in pastry so he has some moves. The meal was a fantastic treat and the sides were much appreciated. The dauphinoise potatoes and green beans paired well with the wellington. The beef was cooked perfectly medium rare and evenly. The whole experience was definitely a treat. I would recommend it if you're looking to try a beef wellington... After experiencing the Sunday Roast in London, I would say the Sunday Roast experience was less expensive for equivalent or greater enjoyment. Nevertheless this is one of the better value establishments if you are looked specifically for a beef wellington experience.

If you are an expat, this will be your new comfort food craving after your first visit. Our group ordered three different sandwiches and shared many brunch dishes and they were all amazing. They serve their buttermilk pancakes topped with bacon and a generous helping of syrup on the side. The eggs benny came with fries and was delish as well. All of their amazing sandwiches come with an individual pickle that is made in-house. We shared a Chicken Cobb (Corn fed chicken, smoked bacon, avocado, blue cheese, boiled egg, tomato, red onion, lettuce & mayo on 3 slices of toasted white), The Toronto (Slow roasted topside beef, melted English cheddar, leaf lettuce, tomato, pickled hot peppers, red onion, & horseradish mayo on toasted sourdough), and The Medley (Roasted turkey breast, smoked ham, bacon, melted cheddar & emmental, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickled hot peppers & basil mayo on toasted sourdough). This place is locally owned and the vibe is very laid back. We went around 12:30 on a Saturday and this place was packed. They take reservations so you might want to make some (we did). Overall, I will definitely come back.

Like most American ex-pats, I'm amazed at how the country that invented the sandwich can't make a…read moreproper sandwich. There are few things in the world less appetizing to me than two pieces of pre-packaged soggy bread with one slice of ham drowning in a gallon of mayo that's been sitting on the Pret a Manger shelf all day. In America you only see stuff like that at gas stations, and even there they hold the mayo. In England, they put so much mayo on those sandwiches that it actually gets listed as an ingredient. So whereas you'd have a chicken sandwich with mayo in America, in England it becomes a chicken mayo sandwich. That's just wrong. And nasty. Enter Pickle & Rye. If this place were in Soho or South Kensington then there'd be lines out the door. True Mortlake is in London's upscale southwest and thus home to several affluent American ex-pats, but I feel like that this gem of a sandwich place is missing out on a golden opportunity by being stuck out in the middle of nowhere. It was a trek to get to even from Fulham, and I've got plenty of friends who think that Fulham is enough of a trek already. Or at least that's their excuse for never coming to visit us. This place would merely have to not completely suck to be one of the best sandwich places in London, but it's really taken the art of the sandwich to another level. The owner / head sandwich dude is a culinary school graduate who roasts all their meats, cures his own corned beef (known around these parts as salt beef), makes his own dill pickles (which are easily the best that I've ever had in England) and Russian dressing, with the result being the finest reuben this side of the Atlantic. I will gladly return to the middle of nowhere for another one.

I don't love huge lumps of meat covered in a sweet sticky sauce but I apparently a lot of people do, and therefore I usually end up somewhere that serves a lot of this food when going in a large group (I also think these places cater better for groups). To be honest Hudsons is one of the better American style eateries I've visited; the food is edible, the staff are pretty good and the restaurant is small enough to mean that the noise doesn't build up to levels where you may need a megaphone to speak to the person opposite you. I think if you love the type food and didn't want to spend lots of money Hudsons is probably for you.

I should not have worried like I did - inside it is very pleasant, and the staff are very friendly and polite and attentive. I went with a typical full english breakfast and found it to be very good quality - in particular the chips tasted really nice and the sausages were great! I felt that the full english was a little more than you'd expect to pay in these sort of cafes throughout London, however this may have just been down to the area which very clearly was home to a lot of very rich people...! As well as the breakfasts I also saw some people get sandwiches which actually looked really good though I did not try one myself. If you're looking for a good english breakfast and you're in the area, I would recommend you give this place a try.

The service was ok, the host was great and explained that you order food up front after you decide from menus and drinks from the bar. It may seem awkward but is actually makes for a quick exit. The real disappointment was the food. We started with the calamari. That was pretty decent. The fry was similar to mozzarella sticks, the portions are huge so easily shareable. I ordered the 18 oz t-bone (medium rare), chips and cesar salad. Plenty of chips, they were longer hot and little soggy by the time they got out. The steak was the real disappointment. The cook was rare bordering on blue with very little seasoning. Additionally there was no sear on the steak and it was real tough. The fibers were present through the meat and it was poorly trimmed resulting in almost a fourth of it being inedible. The cesar dressing was real mayo forward. The atmosphere was great with plenty of folks and you could tell weekends are fun. This may have been an off meal but my food on this trip was not representative of the reviews.
