Over the weekend I went to Chiltern Firehouse with some gal pals – good food with amazing service – made complete with cocktails and bathroom selfies, of course. The cornbread fingers are pictured {they are served with whipped maple syrup butter – YUM} and my American food cravings were completely satisfied. The outside patio area feels like a little Beverly Hills retreat in the middle of the city and it was the perfect place to relax and people watch. Already planning a trip back!

I want to start featuring some of my favorite restaurants around London on the blog — there are so many good ones that we love and a few of you have asked for some suggestions, so this will become a more regular feature here.

First up is one of the best spots for breakfast or brunch: The Modern Pantry. Going here always ends up as one of those situations where I promise myself that I’ll try something new, but their raspberry ricotta pancakes are so good that I order them every time — and I’ve never regretted it. Everything on the menu is super fresh and filling and they also do a really nice lunch.
