E Pellici - Bethnal Green

 E Pellici - Bethnal Green

This eastend cafe is a staple for many. It's been frequented by British celebrities, the Kray twins, and now me. And I think I can understand why so many people love to eat there! 

My fiance has been there a few times already and has even bought some merch (!), so it's fair to say that he already LOVES the cafe. He recommended the pastas to me, but as I had heard Pellici's breakfast was voted the best in London, I was adamant on ordering the "Have the Lot Veggie".

My veggie breakfast came with a sausage, fried egg, fried bread, grilled tomato, mushrooms, bubble and squeak, two hash browns, chips, and some beans (*... And breathe*) 🤯. A hell of a lot! The regular veggie breakfast came with all of the items bar the chips and hash browns. Since I hadn't had any breakfast in the morning, I was convinced that the larger meal was for me! I managed to finish it in the end (which was a feet in and off itself) but I don't think I could eat anything else for the remainder of the day.

✨The highlights✨: 

These were definitely the bubble and squeak, hash browns, and the fried bread. 

The bubble and squeak was flavourful yet delicate and the soft mashed potatoes within it melted in your mouth. 

The hash browns were also well seasoned and their texture provided a nice contrast to some of the other softer items in the breakfast! 

And finally, their bread! This had to some of the softest, fluffiest bread I have ever had! I don't know if they make it in-house or if they buy a loaf from somewhere but it is stunning!! All of these items paired with the baked beans made for a comforting, hearty meal. 

The rest😌:

I don't have too much to say about the fried egg 🍳, the yolk was lovely and runny and I enjoyed it alongside the bread. Maybe I'm not an egg conesuoir yet, which could explain the lack of detail either way about the egg, but I can say that overall it was a pleasant addition to the meal. 

The chips tasted like chippy chips - gorgeous! They too were a lovely addition to the meal. 

I can't criticise Pellici's for their grilled tomatoes 🍅 as I don't tend to like them regularly... But I did end up taking a bite and then leaving the rest of the tomato untouched. I'd say it tasted like any other tomato, so if you typically enjoy them, I'm sure you'd like this one too. 

Finally, the mushrooms. These were nice, they are definitely one of the better ones that I've had in restaurants. But, honestly, nowhere can come near my dad's garlic mushrooms that he makes with a fry up! 

Overall, I'd say that Pellici's is definitely worth the visit! The portions are extremely generous and the food tastes great! Having tasted the breakfast, I'd agree that it has to be one of the best in London!

The Railway Tavern - Richmond

 The Railway Tavern - Richmond We went to this Pub last Sunday because they were nearby and showing the league cup final... and boy am I glad we did! Like the great bloggers we are, we were too focused on the screen and completely forgot to take any pictures of our food 😶‍🌫️. Although that just gives us an excuse to go back again, so I can't complain too much! For this blog, I'm only going to focus on my food which was a vegetarian sausage and mash. This pub staple was gorgeous! It came swimming in an onion gravy and was topped with crispy onions too 😋. (If you aren't too keen on onions I'd definitely avoid it as it wasn't exactly a subtle oniony flavour). There's not much to say about this dish other than it tasted absolutely divine and was definitely the comfort food I needed over the weekend! Though it was a tad on the pricey side at £13, I would definitely order it again if I were to go back to the Railway Tavern for another sports match. I also got a gla...

Megan's - Old Town Hall (Richmond)

Megan's - Old Town Hall (Richmond) This is very clearly our first post because we forgot to take any pictures of our mains and didn't include the actual food in our BeReal 😶. However, with that being said, this is one of the best meals I have had in my life (I promise I'm not exaggerating)! We got their £16 two-course dinner menu and ordered a Turkish cheese fondue to share, spicy chicken thighs, and an open kebab with plant-based lamb. The cheese fondue starter was to die for. It was incredibly moreish and luxurious, so naturally, we didn't leave a lick in the plate. The creamy cheese was paired with the prefect amount of toasted, seeded sourdough to share between the two of us. If anyone is considering going to Megan's I'd highly recommend getting the cheese fondue as a starter to share or as a main if you're alone and aren't too hungry. The spicy chicken thighs dish was accompanied with a salad of mixed leaves, avocado and radishes, and chips. (I kno...
