Fear not, I have been saving up all the little gems I've visited, and promise over the next week or so to give you a highlights (and lowlights) of my Christmas and new year period, and I promise I've been a busy bee.
But to start with, I thought I'd get myself warmed up with a little simple place I visited for lunch with my colleagues in London.
Meetings in London are few and far between, so everytime my team and I catch up we take this as a chance to grab some lunch. My manager suggested a little cafe called 'My Old Dutch' which specialises in pancakes. now this made sense to me, as when I visited Amsterdam in February of last year, one of the highlights that was recommended to us was a pancake house! So today I tried the UK version. Don't get me wrong, it was nowhere near as good as the ones we tried in the Netherlands, but that could have had something to do with the Dutch beer and what have you.
The pancakes in London today were a HUGE, unfortunately we were sat on a particularly small table, that didn't really work considering the sizes of the plates. Service was speedy - just what you need for a quick lunch break. I like the idea of savoury pancakes, much lighter than a pizza but very similar. However I can't help but feel they should offer the whole menu in different sizes, rather than as elect few you can get as light options.
I went for a 'create your own' - feta, chicken, chorizo and sun dried tomatoes. The pancake could have done with a little bit more crispness, and the sun dried tomatoes were a bit odd, but other than that it was pretty tasty. Needless to say I couldn't finish it all, and it left me wishing I'd had a Nutella pancake.
Generally, it's a good idea, and I'm sure it works for some. I think I shall be sticking to lemon and sugar in the future!
See you all later,
