This weekend guide is brought to you by álaMODE.se. Okay, so sure we're taking a pounding from the dollar (and even the euro) at the moment. But who are we to let that get in the way of our shopping? Thankfully (or not, if you Swedish), over the last six months, the Swedish krona has tumbled even more, which means that, with a plethora of local labels like J. Lindeberg and Acne alongside international reliables like your Mulberrys, Guccis, and Bottega Venetas, Stockholm has practically become one vast fashion sale.
So with some of the world's top bars and restaurants on hand and such a long weekend ahead, what better time to grab your partner for a cheeky break Sverige-style? Visit álaMODE.se. |

The Mullet is NOT over. Worrying, but true. It is, in this
sense anyway, a whole five years old, and keeping the party
in the back firmly on track. Celebrating its birthday festivities

balloons and music galore provided by Romanian duo Pedro
and Rhadoo, Resident Advisor, and Artizan Music. Party on,
dude.

Salisbury
Fulham Broadway is not exactly my favourite part of London. It's one of those places that I'm always expecting to suddenly get all chi-chi but, apart from the odd juice bar appearing, seems quite content being a bit crap.
So on hearing that a new gastropub had opened just off Dawes Road I can't say I was falling over myself to make the trip there, but I'm pleased to report that it was worth the (slightly depressing) journey.
Salisbury is nice and spacious, with table footie and a central bar dividing the drinkers and diners. Starters come in the form of small 'tapas' dishes - like grilled scallop with mash and truffle oil and feta, mint, pea and broad bean salad - that you're supposed to order a few of to share, but mains are proper mains - shoulder of slow-cooked lamb in roast tomato sauce and herb-crusted salmon with Thai spiced cucumber - often served in those no-nonsense blue and white enamel dishes or on rustic wooden boards. And honey madeleines with chocolate truffle make a wholly satisfying pudding.
Gastropubs come and go but I have an inkling that the combination of Jamie Sherriff (former Zucca owner, now landlord of the Spencer Arms in Putney) and Adrian Jones (a chef with more names under his apron than a Zagat Guide) could be a bit of a winner.
