With a single dessert and just two glasses of wine our bill was kept in check - but the effort of doing so was not much fun

Although the first half of Kwei-Armah’s production is pacy, funny and intelligent, the energy level then drops off

I loved this film from start to finish. Take the girlfriend, tell your mum - I'd see it again tomorrow and will buy the dvd.
I saw this last night and can't remember the last time I was so moved in the theatre.
I have been to many of London's so-called best Japanese restaurants and none have been as good as the food that I've had at Aqua Kyoto

Description: "Zingy" Latino fare makes a visit to this Islington "oasis" quite a "stimulating" experience; the "curiously long and narrow" room can feel "a bit soulless", but it's jazzed up by a "wonderfully committed host".

While Upper Street was busily turning itself into restaurant gulch, nearby Essex Road was glumly dragging its feet.
It's as if Upper Street has embraced the café society while all that was left to Essex Road were the greasy spoons.
Sabor is a new, light, bright, modernist restaurant with food that is 'inspired by the flavours of countries across Latin America, including Colombia, Brazil, Peru and Argentina'.
The menu may read South American, but flavours are pin sharp, and dishes are both light and elegant.
Among the starters you'll find empanadas - miniature half-moon-shaped pasties, usually solid and unforgiving, but at Sabor they are light and crisp.
There are two ceviches listed - monkfish or mushroom.
The monkfish is stunning, the fish has been 'cooked' thoroughly by the high acidity, and the flavours of the grapefruit, blood orange, chilli and lots of fresh coriander sing out.
Really good.
Main courses are well presented and well-crafted: tiny, pink lamb chops sit on a delicious pile of orange-flavoured quinoa and there's a relish made from papaya, rosemary and garlic.
Or how about red snapper cooked in a banana leaf and served with a salad made with palm hearts? The rib-eye steak comes with chimichurri and grilled plantains: the steak is accurately cooked, the plantains are sweet/sharp, and the chimichurri is a revelation - a thick and chunky sauce made from parsley and garlic bound together with oil.
Light and green and delicious.
The wine list majors in South America.
