Ben's Cookies ****

When you have these cookies fresh and warm, it's like paradise in your mouth.

Las Iguanas ***

Pretty good Latin American experience, with novel cocktails and interesting tapas. Haven't tried the main food yet.

Paul ****

This chain of French coffee places comes directly from Paris. They have the best chocolate I have ever tried (by melting chocolate bars into semi-skimmd milk). They are all around London, be sure not to miss them.

ZaZa ****

This is a superb italian gelato place at Canary Wharf. The closest I have found to authentic ice cream. Not sure how they do it, but they do!

Imperial China **

Nice setting in Soho, but nothing exceptional in the food. Good to try for some chinese experience, but don't expect miracles.

Garfunkel ***

This is more like an American Diner. Don't expect great food, but it gets out a very nice atmosphere and is not pretending to be much more than what it really is. OK for a quite bite after work.

Rodizio Rico **

This brazilian all-you-can-eat for 25 GBP restaurant chain was just OK, and maybe disappointing compared to the US counterparts. The meat selection is good, but the quality is not spectacular. Interesting experience though.

Founder's Arms ****

Incredible location for a pub, right by the river with views at St. Pauls. The food is not great but it is always worth visiting.

Zara ****

Solid authentic Anatolia food (according to the waiter, top 3 such restaurants in the UK). Feels a lot like home. Go for the traditional dishes rather than the Kebabs.

Rainforest Cafe ***

The scenery in this restaurant is amazing. However, the food is too fast-food American. Kids like it though.

Zizzi ****

Amazingly good italian restaurant chain. The portions are very small, but inversely proportional to the quality. Desserts are so so. Paid 20GBP each.
