 |  | It’s another long weekend this weekend! We may be getting blasé about them as May is of course stacked, but there isn’t another one until August, so let’s make the most of it!
Our goal this weekend is to finally get into some of the restaurants that we have been meaning to – Monty’s Deli, Brat, Smoking Goat, Leroy (this list is embarrassing, we should have been to all of these already!) and St Leonards. See you east! And enjoy the short week.

 | | | The Oystermen Seafood Bar | Photo: Greg Funnell @gregfunnell | | | Henrietta Hop | | | Time to do a restaurant crawl | | Covent Garden’s heating up on the restaurant scene, we’ve been hearing that for awhile now. But the other day, after a quick sprint down Henrietta Street we realised there are many greats – Henrietta Hotel, Cora Pearl (from Kitty Fischer), Oystermen (dressed oysters, bar seating), Din Tai Fung (with surprisingly no queue), Sticks’n’Sushi (fast, flavourful, reasonable), and Avo Bar (name’s annoying, menu less so) – all on one street. It’s official. Time to do a Henrietta Street hop (sorry).

| | | Brunch/Lunch | | | Posh good times | | This week we’re focusing on the posh brunch lunch with three newbies. First up, it’s a Tulum brunch series at Ella Canta (‘A’ for originality, we couldn’t handle another brunch with bottomless in the title). Launched last week, taking place on two additional Saturdays (15th June, 20th July) in partnership with Coco Tulum (beach club), the dishes will be vibrant and the tunes atmospheric. Also in Mayfair, it’s an Anatolian brunch at Rüya (menu here), and over in St John’s Wood, we think a bistro lunch at the new Corbin & King spot, Soutine, would be just right.
