Last Days Of Silence B12 Zip Fizz

Posted on by

SUSHISAMBA Sushisamba, on the 38th floor of the Heron Tower, is guaranteed to offer you stunning views of London and food that's just as beautiful, but now there's an altruistic reason to visit that can make the bill easier to swallow. Vivienne Westwood (yes, that one) has designed a rainforest-inspired dish with corporate chef Claudio Cardoso, which is raising money for Cool Earth, a charity working to halt rainforest destruction. The Rainforest Revolution dish (£13) is entirely vegetarian, but you don't miss the meat as the mix of feijoada beans, wasabi-yuzu tofu flavours, poached egg and robata asparagus sing in your mouth. The edible rice paper playing card on top adds a fun touch.

It's one of many sensational dishes you can eat here (we also recommend the out-of-this-world black cod which I still dream about to this day) at what might be the most creative sushi restaurant in London. IMOGEN BLAKE.

SKYLIGHT There are plenty of winter-themed bars nd pop-ups this December but few can offer you panoramic views of London's beautiful skyline as you ice skate on the rooftop at Skylight, at Tobacco Docks. Skylight's winter rooftop is a truly magical escape where you can dance on ice, cosy up in its lodge-style bar with a festive cocktail or dive into an indulgent sharing pot of fondue with plenty of crusty bread for dipping. Escape the crowds at Winter Wonderland by heading here instead. IMOGEN BLAKE. BOBBY FITZPATRICK Stepping into Bobby Fitzpatrick is like walking into your musty grandma's living room but after the shock of the shag pile carpet and dodgy wallpaper, you start to have 1970s interior design envy. Aside from the decor, it's worth getting past the kitsch for the delicious bottomless brunch.

It's on the pricey side of what I would normally pay outside of central London but the unlimited cocktails (£18 for two hours) are so boozy that you will certainly walk out of there happy. The only food option is pancakes (extra on top of the cocktails) but there are savoury or sweet ones to choose from.

My mushroom and blue cheese dish was too rich to finish, but my friend's salmon and hollandaise pancakes were delicious. A Mexican inspired pancake option topped with avocado and corn was also surprisingly light. If you fancy bottomless brunch with a 1970s twist, trek to West Hampstead to dine with Bobby (whoever he is). IMOGEN BLAKE. TRAFALGAR DINING ROOMS Trafalgar Square might be best known as a tourist hotspot but the newly-opened Trafalgar Dining Rooms gives even the most discerning locals a reason to brave the crowds.

The flagship restaurant of the Trafalgar St James hotel, recently relaunched following a multi-million pound renovation, is truly stylish with its leather booths, elegant light fixtures and gold accents. The menu is selective with just half a dozen main dishes but there has been a clear focus on flavour with a subtle Mediterranean influence. Plump for a pulled lamb burger with harissa and sweet potato fries or stone sea bass with celery roots and samphire if you fancy something lighter. Between the hearty salads and the puy lentil moussaka, there is also lots of choice for vegetarians. The bar area, with its chic stools and tiled floors, is perfect for sampling the extensive cocktail menu, featuring favourite classics and new creations.

From £19.95 for three courses and a glass of fizz, you can pick from festive specials including a rich tomato soup, a lusciously creamy chicken liver pate, a sweet and smoky maple-glazed gammon pizza, a creamy beef and horseradish pizza, a or a cheesy potato and fontal pizza - and yes, potato bizarrely does work on a pizza. For afters, pick between the famous Snowball Doughballs for after, or a sweet Caramel and Pear Gelato if you want something lighter. However if you simply fancy your regular American Hot, you can still order that too within the deal.

IMOGEN BLAKE. SKYLON Skylon is bringing saxy back with their Saturday brunch series. The well renowned Modern British restaurant situated on Southbank, with views across the River Thames, is jazzing up the weekend with their live music bottomless brunch. Kicking off on Saturday 30th September, enjoy beats from the resident saxophonist mixed with tunes from the DJ whilst devouring delicious dishes and basking in the sunlight shining through the floor to ceiling windows. No brunch is complete without bubbles, and Skylon are offering a bottomless option.

Sip on free flowing prosecco as the saxophonist plays some funky tunes and the DJ gets the brunch party started. With panoramic views of London and a stylish comfortable interior, Skylon, situated in the Royal Festival Hall on Southbank, is the ultimate bruncher’s paradise, whether you’re celebrating an occasion or just want some great food and good tunes. NEW YORK EDITION If you’re planning to hit the Big Apple sometime soon, swing by the New York EDITION hotel on Madison Square Park for a cocktail to remember. The Lobby Bar, which boasts a warm ambiance complete with comfy sofas and high ceilings, serves up an array of refreshing beverages and equally quaffable snacks. Be sure to order the signature Edition Owl cocktail, which comes serves in a rather heavy owl-shaped bronze tankard. The heady blend of Absolut ELYX vodka, spiced rum, cardamom, coconut, lime, almond and peach doesn’t come cheap at $30. But you can feel a little better about the dent on your wallet as $1 from every 'Ollie' sold goes to the non-profit Wild Bird Fund.

Meanwhile, the 17th Century Lady – a new edition to the list - features an unusual Early Grey-infused tequila. If you’re into more classic creations, the dirty martini is on point, with large buttery olives served teetering on top of a daintily-etched glass. SADIE WHITELOCKS. LUTYENS GRILL Put your glad rags on and saunter down to a previously members-only restaurant at The Ned, an Aladdin's cave of culinary wonders nestled in the heart of London.

Lutyens Grill, a former bank manager's office which is hidden from view behind a wooden and mirror-clad wall, is a gem of a place. The secret spot transports you to a world of old-school steak dinners, with a splash of Orient thrown into the mix. Think regal leather dining chairs, Persian rugs under foot and tasselled lights hanging overhead. The eatery, which set to open its doors to the public this December, features a warming menu guaranteed to satisfy the heartiest of appetites. Plump for a range of grilled beef cooked in varying ways or a mixed grill if you fancy sampling a rather splendid feast. For the non-meat eaters, the chargrilled cauliflower and superfood salad comes highly recommended.

And to end on a high, the chocolate nemesis dares to be tackled. SADIE WHITELOCKS. SMITHS OF SMITHFIELD Smiths of Smithfield has long been a stalwart of fine steaks, but its brand new Autumnal Dining Room menu has just been launched to show its prowess extends to more than just serving up a prime cut of beef. Fresh seafood dishes are the star of the starters show, including seared West Coast scallops which were melt-in-the-mouth delicious, while a hearty game terrine was deliciously moreish. As a main event, we couldn’t resist plumping for a sirloin and a rib eye, which come with the most perfectly crunchy and fluffy chips you could ask for – and don’t forget to order a side of garlic and chilli spinach. However, there’s a wealth of choice if you want something a little different with confit duck leg, Old spot pork loin Wellington and Clay-roasted spiced half chicken definitely on the wish list for a future visit. SIOFRA BRENNAN.

STAFFORD LONDON If you’re looking for a traditional British fix this season then head to the Stafford London’s Game Bird restaurant. The cosy haunt, located in the heart of Mayfair, is guaranteed to get you in a festive mood with a roaring fire to boot. Although the menu is focused on meat, with dishes including Hogget Hotpot and Venison Stew, there are delicious vegetarian options also available. The night I popped by I took a friend who was vegan, and the staff we readily able to accommodate her by slightly altering some of the ingredients. I tried some deliciously plump oysters, a divine serving of coal-cooked celeriac and a selection of cheese to finish. To wash it all down I opted for a classic olive vodka martini.

Be sure to ask for a tour of the 350-year-old wine cellar and the American Bar is a sight to behold, with the ceilings covered with USA-themed memorabilia left behind by guests. SADIE WHITELOCKS. SEA CONTAINERS For any food fans serious about their brunch they should make their way to Sea Containers on Southbank. Located right beside the River Thames you can enjoy a veritable feast inside the ship-themed restaurant.

Totally spoiled for choice, the weekend brunch options include delicately seasoned chicken and waffles, delicious chorizo and potato breakfast hash topped with perfect poached eggs, crab omelettes and of course a seafood platter promising oysters, scallops and ceviche. And if you’re feeling peckish the truffle mac and cheese side will be perhaps one of the best you’ll ever taste.

Of course weekend brunch isn’t complete without a glass of Prosecco and with a bottomless option for £18 - it may be at the higher end of the price scale – but you won’t regret indulging. NATALIE CORNER. STK Our favourite steak restaurant in London just got a whole lot better thanks to its delicious new seasonal menu that will make winter so much more bearable. As the eatery that does steak better than anyone else in the capital, meat lovers will be impressed by the variety of cuts on the menu. If you'd rather give your taste buds a whirl, you'll love the Forest of Dean wild boar cutlets and sausage served with roasted apple and parsnip, tasty tempura scallops with cauliflower served with American sturgeon caviar, and the ultimate fish and chip dish.

Of course, the setting is second to none so expect an atmospheric night full of party tunes and a glamorous crowd. POMONA'S Pomona's, in trendy Notting Hill, is a great deal of fun.

It manages to breathe sunshine into cloud-covered and often rainy London straight from the rolling hills of California, which inspires the menu here. The eatery is light and bright and airy and ever so slightly reminscent of a school canteen. The food however is leagues away from sloppy school dinners. You can share small plates (£7-£16) or opt for mains. We shared indulgent eggplant parm, buttery grilled corn, moreish sweet potato toast and a lime-drenched king prawn taco. But the star of the show was the wagyu cheeseburger. It will set you back £19 but it may be the best burger I've ever eaten.

The juicy beef combined with the brioche bun and gooey melted cheese makes my mouth water even now. We were too full for pud, but I may well come back another time to sample the vegan pina colada cheesecake. IMOGEN BLAKE. GALVIN AT WINDOWS Dining at Michelin-starred Galvin at Windows, on the 28th floor of the Park Lane Hilton, feels like you've been let in on a very juicy secret.

It's hard not to feel smug as the ever-charming staff guide you to your table and you look out at the magnificient view. It's hard to pull your eyes away from the skyline, but if you, the food is just as exquisite. The restaurant has launched its autumn menu and it reflects the season beautifully. I tucked into melt-in-the-mouth beetroot cured salmon served with a smooth-as-velvet horseradish cream, as well as an unctuous beef Bourguignon with a silky and rich red wine jus. I finished off the meal with a lip-smackingly good banoffee pie which avoided the usual pitfall of being too sweet.

Dinner here is always perfection - and prices are reasonable if you choose the set menu: just £31 for two courses. IMOGEN BLAKE.

GINZA ONODERA The poshest sushi I had ever eaten before arriving at the sleek and oh-so-stylish Ginza Onodera in Mayfair was a delivery from You Me Sushi, so the bar was set quite low. And what a difference quality sushi skills make. We sat at the bar and watched our talented chef create art on a plate before our eyes. We sampled too many dishes to name, but a highlight to start was beautiful seared tuna in a thick miso sauce, topped with spring onion and a pretty edible flower. I could have licked the bowl clean. But the star of the show was the nigri. We tried three types of tuna - the fatty yellowtail was my favourite - salmon drizzled with miso, red prawn topped with caviar and even sea urchin.

Every bite was melt in the mouth. The only downside? It will cost you. Tasting menus start from £150. But then again, it's still cheaper than a ticket to Japan - the only other place you can taste sushi this good. IMOGEN BLAKE.

THE ROYAL CRESCENT HOTEL & SPA It's named after the very famous, and truly regal, crescent terrace in which it sits and you will certainly feel like royalty during your stay at The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa in Bath. This Autumn, the hotel has partnered with Sipsmith to create a deluxe 'Gin Time' package for gin lovers that includes a stay in one of their sumptuous rooms, a gin flight and a Michelin-star-standard dinner.

We stayed in the Ralph Allen Master Suite, which was quite simply the most plush set of rooms I have ever seen - and was bigger than my flat back home. The word luxury can't begin to describe it. Dinner was sublime, and they easily accommodated my vegan friend too. Showcased in four elegant cocktails that went down far too easily.

Prices start from £465 per room per night for one Deluxe Double Room, inclusive of gin flight and dinner. The experience is available Sunday to Thursday until Thursday November 23. IMOGEN BLAKE. TASTE OF LONDON One of London's biggest food festivals returns for a Christmas edition from November 16 to 19 in stunning Tobacco Dock.

Danielle Fishel, 36, better known as Topanga Lawrence from Boy Meets World, found and tried on a pair of yellow sunglasses at a store, and since then has gone back to visit them with her husband, Jensen Karp.

Jensen, 38, and his wife returned to visit the mirrored glasses multiple times after he shared, 'we can't stop thinking about them.' The couple made a total of five outrageous visits to the store to try on the Ray-Ban glasses, documenting it on Instagram each time, but they still have not bought them. For his 2017 Christmas card, John Cessna, 32, from Ann Arbor, Michigan, created a terrifying hostage scene in which he and his wife are tied up and surrounded by explosives after being kidnapped by 'ICE-ISS' - the International Christmas Elves Independent Sovereign State. Cessna started staging unique holiday-themed Christmas cards in 2008 after his mother joked that he should 'sober up' and send out a card of his own. He obliged and made a card that showed drunk and slumped in the shower surrounded by bottles of alcohol. Cessna has continued his tradition each year, changing his theme to focus on 'absurdity and insidiousness.'

HONEYBEE GIN There are no shortage of artisan gins on the market now thanks to the boom in popularity of the classic gin and tonic. One of the newest is a limited edition honey-infused gin by Warner Edwards, which last year brought out a Rhubarb Gin. Its Honeybee Gin - a collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society - has already been awarded Spirit of the Month by Fortnum & Mason and has a pleasantly smooth texture and gently sweet taste to counterbalance the bitter botanical notes. Each 70cl bottle has a RRP of £40. OLD PULTENEY MARITIME MALT Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky has released its 25 Year Old expression.

The whisky has been mellowed for a quarter of a century and matured in the invigorating sea air of Wick in the Highlands of Scotland. Aged at its own steady pace, the whisky began its journey in ex-bourbon American oak barrels for 22 years.

Its spicy sweetness was later granted depth and colour by ex-oloroso Spanish oak butts until it reached the premium age of 25. The flavour is firmly anchored in bitter chocolate and creamy vanilla with hints of toffee sweetness and crisp overtones of fresh lemon and coconut while the finish is long and spicy.
