I’ve been at the Union Bar & Grill just once but I really liked the food. They serve fish&chips and wiener schnitzel – very generous portions!
I went to the Bar last night for the first time. It was abusy Friday night and the Dj started playing after my friends and I justfinally found a free table after a while waiting.A lovely smiley waitress came to us and asked us if we wereready to order some drinks. The drinks arrived pretty quickly and my spicyBloody Mary was just as spicy as I would make it myself at home. It wasdelicious and after the double shot I felt suddenly a bit hungry!We had a look at the menu, my sister works around the cornerand comes along quite often after work, she recommended us to have a look atthe tapas menu. I have to say the vegetarian option was slightly poor and withfew options to choose I had to go for a selection of starters instead, which considerablyincreased the final bill.When the food arrived and I had a taste of the home madehummus with fresh pitta bread I thought at first that one portion wasnt goingto be enough and that I had to order one more just for myself. Best hummus everand even more combined with my spicy bloody mary.My friend enjoyed all of the tapas chosen, in particular thechicken and chorizo, which is a combination they never thought would go welltogether, and instead it was the first plate to be consumed.They have a good Menu and vast selections of beers, both bybottles or draught, which makes it a really nice pub for a quick beer afterwork, or for a lazy day out with your family.The staff is very nice and seems enjoy the atmosphere too. Iwould definitely recommend it if you are around the centre and you want to havea nice time and maybe some good music too.
It’s a pizza…. I’m a big pizza fan, anything between the substantial deep pan delivered ones when I can’t be asked to cook and ones from actual pizzerias where the whiff of dough in the air gets my mouth watering in anticipation before I’ve even sat down. Pizzas vary greatly according to each establishment, which is all fine for me. Depends what mood I’m in.More to the point, however, I noticed the local bar/restaurant just next to where I work started doing ‘baked flat breads’ a few months back. Maybe I suddenly became a pizza snob, but I never ordered one. Why go to a bar on a busy night, when you’re a little peckish, when you and the group you’re in are after a few pints and maybe some chips, why order something underhandedly TRYING to be pizza but obviously falls so far short that it can’t call itself pizza?It’s true – I’m a bit peeved. Because the amount of time I’ve spent drinking in that place, then picking up something on the way home I could have been having something perfect for me the whole time. The non-eating members of the work group be damned, and the ones that do eat even more so (I will not share!). It turns out, the bar figured to actually change the name from Baked Flat Bread–something–to Pizza. Lo and behold I start seeing the waitresses flitting around the tables depositing what looks suspiciously like pizza. Smells like it too. I went for the tapas menu, and look! So I bit the bullet, I ordered an Americana.To my horror, it was shockingly good. I can’t stress this enough. It… was… shocking. I wanted to drop my head onto the rustic wooden plate in frustration on my first bite. Why didn’t they just call it pizza to begin with?The toppings are fresh and flavoursome. The dough is expertly made with just enough thickness to stay in one piece and you get hints of the herbs and flavours of the dough itself, but it is still thin enough for the emphasis to really be on what’s on top. No doubt in my mind, they hired an actual pizza chef for these, and I’m amazed.It’s been an admittedly short time, but it’s already a ritual. Every time I visit, I order the Americana pizza, sometimes the prosciutto. It’s a good size, in fact it’s nicely hefty for one person (that will not share!), and good for even two people. I would say it’s actually too cheap at 9 for what it is, but that’s not something I’ll complain about. I love it.
Burgyeah. This restaurant has been changing a lot recentlynot big changes, but just the odd thing here and there that Ive noticed. The menus, how the food looks, how it tastes, a bunch of things, and its generally all good. But the biggest I noticed, was the burgers. I always eat the burgers and Ive been saying this for how long, that you should have the option of what to have in your burger. You want extra cheese, you get extra cheese. You want a mushroom, you get a mushroom. You want half a chicken wing, you get half a chicken wing in your burger! Its great! The burgers have always been good, but now theyre great try the blue cheese and jalapeno together.
Located right next to regent’s park, this place is quite popular with the office goers around portland street. What makes this place stand apart in my eyes is the open courtyard just in front where you can drink in the open especially in the summer. Weekday nights no wonder tend to attract quite a crowd and its a nice atmosphere for a drink after work.I didnt really try the food here – but stuck to the wines and beers. The wine list is decent with quite a few available by the glass.
Chocolate. Needless to say, I am a huge fan of chocolate, and when I discovered the brownie at this place I was happily shocked. It was a while ago though and the new ones are smaller (such a shame), BUT the presentation is now AMAZING and they taste just as good. Would it be wrong of me to buy 10 on my next visit? Maybe 11
A modern bar with good food. Union is a brand new bar in Regent’s Place, the new development on the Euston Road, near to Great Portland Street. It’s large and roomy, and is busy in the evenings and at lunchtime. Mains are about 8-12 each, and I can recommend the lamb. Don’t skip dessert – the chocolate brownie (swimming in chocolate sauce) is amazing!
