Hache has 3 restaurants spread across London, and is generally considered one of the finer burger eateries.
I’ve been to Hache multiple times over recent years, but never at a time in which I was in blogging mode. However, I happened to be in the area today, and as I’m on a bit of a spree, I thought I’d finally tie this one up.
And speedily onto the next part of the burgering adventure. Nothing from me for over a year and then mutliple burgers come tripping along all at once.
Lucky 7′s been floating around my plans to visit for a while, but it tends to slip underneath the radar a little. It doesn’t receive the same kind of hype and publicity as many other establishments, but you hear mention of it here and there.
A very brief review, as this is from god knows how long ago and my memory seems a little worse for wear (OD’d on school work). Plus there isn’t a huge amount left to say on MEATliquor, being one of the most blogged about burger joints. Ever.
For a fairly priced burger, it’s in one of the most convenient locations, just round the back of Debenhams on Bond Street. Also as quick disclaimer, its very dark in there, so the pictures aren’t the best. Continue reading
Long time no post right? Too bloody right. I could probably come up with a litany of excuses about being poor, busy and otherwise indisposed, but no one’s here for that.
The Admiral Codrington is well up there on the burgering hit list. A series of excellent reviews always serve as an excellent tempter.
Ahhh… the Eagle Bar Diner, somewhere I’ve been yearning to try since I heard it mentioned in the same breath as Byron who despite their London chain status, still rate as one of my favourites in London.
Eagle is tucked away just off Oxford Street and prides itself as being one of the original American diners in London, but this somewhat does it a disservice as it feels more classy than you would imagine.
It’s a little tough not be disappointed when you’re told that you are visiting a “Gorilla.” Obviously I wasn’t hoping for actual gorilla, but I still had something jungley in mind. Who would have expected radical militarist burgers?
I promised myself that I’d do no more delayed burger reviews. And so here’s one from before Christmas – Bill Wyman’s Sticky Fingers, just off High Street Kensington. Chosen for our group Christmas dinner not least because it had half price cocktails and half price on a Monday night.
I’ve been hankering to visit to the Queens Arms for quite a while, not least because its the nearest pub to college and is reputed to serve some decent food. It’s also the location of the mysterious”XXXX’s” house in Matthew Vaughan’s film Layer Cake – one of my favourite. In other news, they also cook up a pub burger.
Onto Gourmet Burger Kitchen, probably not the original gourmet burger joint, but most definitely the people who made the idea of eating proper burgers popular within the UK. They have huge number of chains throughout the England, and serve some pretty consistent fare across the few that I’ve visited.
The menu is quite complete with everything from the normal beef burgers to creations with buffalo meat, beetroot and avocado.
The Diner brings to mind something along the lines of the first and last scenes of a Pulp Fiction type American diner…and that isn’t really that far off, in dark modern kind of way. Just with less stick ups (fortunately), and less Samuel L Jackson (unfortunately).
I’d heard of The Diner through various internet searches, but hadn’t actually been meaning to visit it today. My abysmal directional sense leading me astray.
