Restaurant review: Meatballs
By Catherine O'Dolan on 01/01/2012 16:42:24
We get our head around the latest New York foodie trend to roll into these shores
raspberry coulis – at least I think it was good. Sadly for me, two pairs of little fingers also couldn't resist getting stuck into the sweet ruby nectar nMeatballs At The Quality Chop House, 92–94 Farringdon Road, London EC1R 3EA, tel: 020 3490 6228Don

By Catherine O'Dolan on 01/05/2012 15:12:27
Local boy done good, Jamie Oliver, returns to his British roots with this hip new diner
with wine from Chapel Down Winery in Kent.And in keeping with Jamie’s cheeky chappie reputation, the staff are friendly. We couldn’t wait to sample the unusual homemade ice creams at £1.50 a scoop (60p for children): Marathon/Snickers Bar, Earl Grey Tea

Restaurant review: Zilli Fish
By Catherine O'Dolan on 01/02/2011 16:51:49
The affable Italian chef proves chic seafood and family dining go together like fish and chips
Sundried Tomato, Rosemary & Garlic Marinated Lamb Steak with Greek Salad (£13.90), which was a bit on the chewy side. We all, however, loved the Courgette Chips (£4) – moreish tempura-style sticks of courgette; and a rather more decadent way of getting one
