A la Colthard

FISCHERS This Austrian style konditorei and part of the Wolseley group meets the high standards of service and food that the owners consistently deliver. Situated at the Regent’s Park end of Marylebone High Street where competition is fierce with the Orrery a few doors down it has a great [...]

A la Colthard /La Petite Maison

In many ways La Petite Maison runs counter to so many of my theories. It’s the most fashionable restaurant in Nice with a branch in Brooks Mews Mayfair but it is not up itself. The welcome was offhand with a refusal to sit out outside but the service very good with a cheeky waiter. It’s [...]

Mougins

Yesterday I went to Mougins for lunch to meet some Sussex friends who had a villa there. Cyrille picked me up and was his normal, informative self. He told me the croissant originated in Vienna during the siege by the Turks when a baker heard the vibrations of the invading army tunnelling. This was [...]

A la Colthard

Over these past few days we have been to several restaurants varying in luxury, price and cuisine and voila my report. I won’t add more to the Grand Hotel  Cap Ferrat, its location at the tip of the Cap is sublime and the service, cuisine and comfort superb. My spaghetti nero (in cuttle fish [...]

A la Colthard / the Colombe D’Or

There is no other word for the Colombe D’Or at St Paul de Vence than sublime and the best possible venue for Bob’s birthday. Even the weather, a blue sky with a touch of breeze and 18 degrees was superb. The Colombe D’Or is for a variety of reasons not yer normal hotel/restaurant. [...]

A la Colthard

I did not take too much persuading to join Bob Tickler in Nice with awful weather predicted for Easter. I also had a friend, an ex soldier called Jocelyn who has set up home there. My guide to riviera restaurants “Entre la Cote, Entre Nous” always requires updating too. Yesterday we [...]

A la Colthard/ La Poule au Pot

I have written before on the life and death of legendary restaurants. In the area of Ebury Street Mimmo d’Ischia has fallen by the wayside and Ken Lo’s Memories of China virtually empty when I last visited.  Yesterday an art collector friend of mine Sebastian invited me to La Poule au [...]

A la Colthard: Day Three

The meal at the Mirabelle restaurant of the Hotel Splendie Royale was sensational. It countered my theory of beware the restaurant with panoramic views. Our table was situated by a terrace that overlooked the Borghese Gardesns. Stefano was an exquisite host. Why does he have to be gay!!!? I had the [...]

The Camelford Arms

Shamefully I have never reviewed any Brighton pubs which offer good value at reasonable prices. Yesterday I had Sunday lunch at the Camelford Arms in Camelford Street in the fashionable Kemp Town area. I must immediately declare a personal interest here as the owners Alistair and Tony are good [...]

A la Colthard / Marcus at the Berkeley

I remember the Berkeley in the eighties as a sort of Savoy Grill where the great and the good gathered. The food was reliable, the service good and the comfort level high. It epitomised top quality hotel dining. Since that time the restaurant has had various names, cuisines and identities but it [...]
