A Stroll on the South Bank

I meant to share this terrific little place last weekend when we visited there but we were slightly inebriated as you would after a few glasses of wine and cocktails. We’d walked pass by this restaurant every time we visited Borough Market but there was either a long queue or we already had our lunch.

The restaurant is on a corner site just around the Borough Market, although it might lack in space but there is something about it that makes you feel like you are in Spain, having a few tapas and a jar of Sangria with friends. The food is simple yet extravagantly tasty, especially the sea bass with orange blossom honey and beetroot. One of the specialties is deep fried goats’ cheese served with honey, but none of us liked goat’s cheese so we didn’t get to taste the famous dish.

After lunch, we wandered to the South Bank and found a Greek restaurant/bar. We then had few more drinks before heading home.

ooooo, we bought these divine caramelised egg custard at Borough Market. They are not too sweet, just the right consistency. I have always been a huge fan on caramelised egg custard but had not found any in London until Jocelyn pointed out that they were highly recommended by a food blogger!
