Barrafina

 

Barrafina (Lehotspots verified)

Casual: Good afternoon spotters, our second venue today showcases the subtle brilliance in Spanish cuisine. Barrafina is a Spanish tapas bar, pioneered by celebrity chefs Sam and Eddie hart the geniuses behind Fino Restaurant in Fitzrovia. Situated in Covent Gardens, Barrafina showcases a 29 stool eating bar and a private space upstairs for events with a capacity of 26.

Barrafina’s menu is impeccable, serving contemporary and traditional tapas, from every region of Spain, truly capturing the Spanish flavours and culture in every mouth-watering bite. Executive Head Chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho, has worked magic with his remarkable reinventions of some traditional Spanish meals, while keeping the more simplistic meals as they are true to its flavor.

Barrafina’s philosophy “take the best raw ingredients and prepare them with minimal fuss” shows in his work as he tantalizes your taste buds with fresh, simple yet powerful aromas and tastes.

We would recommend a Prawn and Piquillo Pepper tortilla, followed by a tuna tartar and a cold meat platter with Lomo Ibérico de Bellota for the perfect Spanish night.

Perfect for appreciating the flavors of Spain with any companion over a glass of wine.

Rustic yet sophisticated décor gives that true Spanish feel with a twist.

Sheesh Restaurant

 

Sheesh restaurant (Lehotspots verified)

Smart Casual: Good afternoon spotters, this venue is one for the A-listers, for those of us that believe we are among the stars. This is not your common Turkish restaurant (yes you do get traditional Turkish cuisine) however Sheesh is the upper echelon of Turkish venues that only the important, famous and those of us who own supercars are granted access to.

Sheesh restaurant is a family run business, located in the heart Chigwell a mere 7 miles away from our beloved London. Having restored and transforming the 600 year old historic building used by the restaurant, sheesh drenches customers with class, elegance and fine dining from the moment you pull up in the car park and exit your expected super car.

To be honest, there is much debate about what is the best meal on the menu, however, I have been granted with the privilege of writing this descripstion, therefore recommend the following; Lamb sis (Marinated cubes of lamb grilled on skewers) and Veal chops (Best fresh veal chop, seasoned then grilled) the portions are immense.

Perfect for living the A-list lifestyle on a budget… well A-List budget.

Chic and elegant décor in a historical venue, magnifies the experience.

Café Helens


Good afternoon spotters, Café Helen is a tiny café situated on London’s Edgware Road. The café is open from mid afternoon until about 6am, making it the perfect place to refuel after a night of clubbing or a quick fill of delicious shawarma.

Although very small (the restaurant can only hold around four or five seated diners), the venue does get extremely busy with queues going out the door. However, this can only be a good sign as Edgware Road is land of the shawarma and Café Helen is by far the busiest.

With extremely fast but polite service, Café Helen is the perfect place for a pit stop.
Head down there and see for yourselves.

STK steak house

 

STK (Lehotspots verified)

Smart-Elegant: Good afternoon spotters, admittedly we have neglected London for a while, to cater for our long lost family in Dubai (at least one of our great great great great great grandfathers is Emarati… believe me). However worry no more, as we have decided to come back with a bang; STK steakhouse is the perfect fusion of the modern day steakhouse and chic lounge in one venue.

STK has found the ultimate equilibrium between fine dining and the traditional steak house experience, combining the old with the new resulting in a whole new experience all together. STK has established itself by emphasizing on ambiance, adopting a vibe-orientated approach to their interpretation of fine dining.

We would recommend, you start with a Watermelon & Feta salad (black olive, mint and shallots) alongside a Salt Beef Brisket (opera bread, hot mustard and boquerones) for starter and T-bone steak for main course with hand cut chips and a fine glass of vintage red wine.

Perfect for the ultimate steak house experience with ambiance like no other or to indulge in a chic lounge experience to socialize or simply enjoy the sophisticated – elegant bar.

Chic, elegant, sublime, sophisticated, elegant and affluent combined cannot emphasize on the brilliance of the décor showcased at this truly unique venue.
