The last meal I had out in London was at The Gate, an all vegetarian restaurant that has been around since 1989 with two restaurants – one in Hammersmith and the one we went to, in Islington. They describe their food as Indo-Iraqi Jewish – a blend of Indian and Arabic cuisines with traditional Jewish food.
London Eating: Ottolenghi, Islington
The very first night I arrived in London the friends I was staying with informed me they had managed to snag us a dinner reservation at Ottolenghi in Islington. Ottolenghi has 5 restaurants and delis across London, with the Islington one his very first.
Christchurch Eating: Mama Hooch
As part of our day in Christchurch we headed to Mama Hooch for a lunchtime feed and we were most definitely not disappointed! It’s open from breakfast to late most days of the week and was the sort of place I would have liked to come back to later for a few drinks as well.
Canberra Eating: Au Lac Royal Vegetarian
For the final instalment of my Canberra Eating series I thought I would share the very last place we ate at – Au Lac Royal Vegetarian in Dickson. Au Lac does vegetarian versions of all your Vietnamese favourites, with everything from stir fries to curries, dumplings, soups and more.
Canberra Eating: Doubleshot
On my Easter trip to Canberra we headed to Doubleshot in Deakin for breakfast early on Easter Monday, and thankfully we called ahead to book a table as it was absolutely bustling when we arrived. Despite it being a rather crisp morning it was not just the inside tables that were full, but the outside was popular with cyclists, families and dog walkers alike!
