Decent enough pub rightly overshadowed by some of its neighbourhood mates.

You can go to Viajante, or you can go upstairs and get 2 courses for £15 or 3 courses for £19 at the Corner Room. Free on-tap sparkling/still filtered water, lovely and good.

Also, if they screw up, they'll comp you something. Which they did to me. Yesterday. Hence: house Red at lunch. And not bad olde worldy wine. Yum.

Cheap, like chips, but just simple, nice, food. In the breads range. As the name suggests.

And you get to toast and jam and marmite yourself, to your heartmites content.

Are these the nicest folk serving fresh, lovely food in the Market? They might be. They just might be.

My first exprience was towards the end of the day when they put out the rest of their flatbread - I needed some, grabbed it, and drooled.

Then I came back and they had some lovely specials on, though it was late & they were all slightly off - so they gave me a blend of the best bits and a discount to boot.

All throughout they were super nice and lovely and pleasant.

Which is what I come to expect from my hood. Yay.

fine fine short flavourful coffee in the wilds of the furniture end of Tottenham Court Road.

Beautiful interior: steampunky and all that, with lots of cleverclogs curlicues in the piping, but really the thing is the coffee, which is on par with the new wave of coffeebars filling Lonodn with lovely goodness (I'm looking at you, Flat White and Federation Coffee, among others)

Florist Bars

This is a fine old decent pub - it's unfortunatley let down by its proximity to an embarrassing number of top-quality pubbery in the area. They've decent enough pizzas and fine beer (And they've some top German beers for those of the Pils persuasion. A mix of old school eastenders and, I suppose, (to be polite) "Nu Skool Digital Styleestenderz".

Not that I'm biased.

A nice place for a decent drink... though I almost always pop up the road a bit further.

A K Halal

Category: Butchers
Area: Coldharbour Lane/ Herne Hill

16/1/2012 First to Review

One of the many indifferent Brixton Halal butchers. How can so many of them stay in business? Their prices are almost always the same, and they sell entire (smallish) roaster chickens for £3. I don't get it, but the food's typically decent (if often frozen) and wickedly cheap.

Supernice people making really lovely bread and deli-sorts-of-things.

I don't eat here enough.

Probably 3.5 stars, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt 'cos they're so nice.

Brixton Bar and Grill

I sort of want to give it one star. This place is at the end of my road and should be nice, but it's just kind of shit.

There's nothing skeeery about it, but I reckon they think it's v cool.

Chaps, you're wrong. There are 10,000 better places to go in Brixton (including my living room). This place is overpriced and velvet rope-y and I'm really unclear why anyone would want to set foot in here (much less spend £7 on a gin & tonic)

Boots

It's a Boots. It's a little dirtier than your average Boots. They've got stuff. Sometimes it's cheapish, often expensive.

Tip: If you're homeless (and what are you doing on Yelp if you are?) or just poor, they put out their day's sandwiches on Electric Avenue for those who can't afford them around 6 or so most evenings.

For some reason I go here more than the Superdrug across the street. But most of these shops are fairly shite experiences.
