Mexico for Lunch, Japan for Dinner

We're in London, continues...

There are so many fabulous restaurants in London that it's often hard to choose. We have a bunch of new ones on our calendar that we are going to explore in the coming weeks. But we're not going to neglect our current favorites, some of which we went to yesterday.

We lunched at the amazing Wahaca. The food is incredible and most closely resembles our California favorite Fonda, but Wahaca's is actually better. It's quick, casual and chaotic but the food is worth it. We go early at lunch in order to beat the crowd. So far, it's been impossible to get in for dinner. Hopefully their popularity will encourage them to open more restaurants.

Then for dinner we went to Kobe London (formerly, Kobe Jones). Exquisite. We forgot to request a private booth when we booked but one was available when we arrived. Like most restaurants can get quite loud but the private booths at Kobe London are much quieter and private. The food was amazing and we had a bottle of Bollinger.
