My mum arrived in Hammersmith at lunch time, having spent an extra four hours travelling due to a…read moredelayed plane, and was understandably hungry. Which offered me a perfect opportunity. Having lived here for nearly two years, I've walked past Antonia's very, very often. And almost every time I do, I think about going in and giving it a try, but never do. So this time, it was a perfect solution. And I'm very glad i did visit! The food was delicious, fresh, health and vibrant. I had a butternut squash, feta cheese and pine nut salad - a very simple plate, but something I would never have done on my own, and which was delicious. My mum had an equally tasty tortilla, and we shared some bread. Not a hefty meal for either of us, by any means, but as I'm not fond of heavy lunches, this was perfect. The prices were pretty decent too - and would be even more so with a taste london card! The only thing preventing me from giving it a full five stars was one slightly un-smiling waitress. Mostly, the service was fantastic, but the waitress who served us our food and was at the till when we paid didn't really make eye contact and barely cracked a smile the whole time we were there. Which was a shame really. But I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was just having a bad day - I'm definitely still going to go back sometime anyway!

The ladies working the night shift are very knowledgeable of the drinks and provided us with great service. While they don't serve food, we enjoyed this place because I tried the varieties of wine (even bought a bottle to take for a dinner party), old fashioned drinks, margaritas and beer. I also appreciated the nightcap ambience of not being a loud place but eloquent and nice. We are truly grateful to relax, have a drink or two here after a long day of sightseeing.

Ask a German living outside of Germany what they miss the most about home and I guarantee you that…read morethey will almost always mention the bread. I do not have such strong ties to German bread, but my time in Berlin has taught me how to appreciate a good pretzel (with butter if necessary, not mustard, you heathen!). Bäkehaus isn't quite as gemütlich (or cozy) as your favorite neighborhood bakery in Germany since it's all self-service, but it gets the job done. The pretzels were soft and chewy and surprisingly enough, reasonably priced! Bäkehaus also offers loaves of rye bread and a plethora of sandwiches with a German twist (I spotted a pork schnitzel sandwich with cranberry sauce on ciabatta for £3.99!), so why not grab something here for lunch instead of opting for a pricey sandwich from Pret or a sad sandwich from Tesco? It's located on the high street just minutes away from the Tube station, so you really don't have an excuse.

This recently-opened Chiswick/Hammersmith branch has bagged the prime spot right on Young's Corner where The Goldhawk Road meets The High Road. They've got huge windows looking out on the local traffic and commuters rushing to nearby Stamford Brook station. It's a great place to watch the world go by. Inside could be described as industrial-classroom chic, with wooden surfaces, metal stools and a selection of interesting lightbulbs dangling from the ceiling. Only a few days after opening it was already packed at lunchtime with people "working" on the wifi with their obligatory silver MacBooks. Is this what unemployed people do these days? Or is this a new type of job I don't know about? Actually... they're probably just writing Yelp reviews

And of all the Caffe Neros I've been to, this is my favourite. From the outside it looks small - and whilst the inside isn't huge, it's more spacious than you'd expect, all down to the backroom. This is where I usually sit, as it has a comfy bench and tables big enough for my laptop, and a great big glass roof that makes it nice at bright inside. Although I've been to Caffe Nero for both breakfast (yummy muffins) and lunch (nice paninis), I usually head there in the afternoon, park myself somewhere with my laptop, a coffee - the best I've tasted in any of the chains - and a cupcake or brownie, and sit and work for a couple of hours. The staff in this branch are always friendly, ready with a smile, and don't seem to mind me camping out there. Which is why I go back again, and again, and again, and again, and again...
