The Cappucino Bar: Orgasmic Cappucino Cappucino Bar Review

Whenever we go to London,we always stop off in Marylebone Station and have a Cappuccino from this little bar. The Cappucino is orgasmic!!!... We have one on the way back too! Actually, since we last had Cappucino here, I have started drinking Latté, which is even more wonderful than Cappucino, so next time we're here, I will see if they do Latté too.
I like sitting here and watching the busy hustle and bustle of people coming and going to and from their trains, I really love the street café life.

The Shakespeare's Head: Olde fashioned charm Shakespeares Head, Soho Review

The actual restaurant is ok, it is set out in old English Oak and quite quaint looking, really Olde Worlde. The atmosphere is quite pleasant too, you really expect to see Henry the VIII to come walking through at any moment, with all of the high backed chairs and old fashioned tables etc.

Favorite Dish:
None really. When we went in there, the food wasn't worth the money, you can get better in much cheaper cafes around the area, the food was rather overcooked I'm afraid. I'd much rather go to The new Piccadilly cafe restaurant around a mile away for anything to eat in the West End of London.

I really like the pub itself though, just not the actual restaurant food part of it.

Address: Carnaby Street

Directions: Through from Soho, Regent Street or Oxford Street

The new Piccadilly Cafe Restaurant: The best cafe in town! New Piccadilly Cafe Restaurant Review

This cafe looks a little bit shabby on the outside and probably very outdated on the inside to anyone who doesn't know it, but it is done out in the late 1950s style, it's part of it's charm I suppose?

We always go to this Cafe when we're in The West End, you aren't in any way hurried to get out when you've finished your meal. The service is good, the prices are good and the people in there are great, especially the manager Lorenzo 'Padrone' Marioni!

I don't think that you need to find a posh looking and expensive restaurant to get good food from it, this isn't posh and it isn't expensive, but it sure is my fave place in London to eat!

This place is often on the TV and mentioned on the radio because it's the kind of place that is dying out. It would be such a shame if this place ever closed down, I for one would be really sad to see it disappear. So if you're ever in the West End and looking for a cheap meal in a place with charm and originality, then come to The new Piccadilly Cafe Restaurant. I promise you will not forget it!

Favorite Dish:
Curried Chicken and Rice with fresh Corriander for me, usually something with chips for Chris.

I found a great website on this café (below), so obviously others think the same as me and Chris about it!

Address: Denman Street

Comparison: less expensive than average

Directions: Just off of Piccadilly circus and just up the road from the King James Head pub
