Mid-Week Treat - La Cantina

Wednesday is peak of the week, you've got through the tough bit and now you're into a downward hop, skip and a jump to the weekend.

If you can't quite wait for Friday to come, then you could go out tonight for a sneaky dinner and I've got a little suggestion that won't break the bank.

La Cantina is a little Italian on Bond Street and Monday to Friday they have a fantastic offer, 2 course dinner for £9.95 or 3 courses for £13.95.


The menu is smaller than their a la carte, but has all the classics on there.

We had Bruschetta & Parmigiana to start and then two pizzas for the main course.

The food is simple and good, they have a solid wine list (although no prosecco by the glass - booooo) and service is pretty quick.

Don't get me wrong - this place is not going to set your world on fire, but it is a perfect spot for a good quality and reasonably priced night out.









Give it a go and let me know what you think!

    Sounds a good reliable place. We're lucky in Ealing as there are several like this about! It's a wonder I ever cook (wouldn't if the bank manager wasn't soooo boring about such things LOL).

      I know! If it wasn't for my bank balance (and waistline!) I would be out most nights - what are your favourites Perdita? (amazing name by the way!) x

ABBOTSHILL - Ealing's newest wine bar

Image
Last night I had the pleasure of being one of the first people to enjoy the newest drinking (and nibbling) establishment in Ealing, Abbotshill Wine Bar & Deli. The bar (which is opening today!!) is a gorgeously friendly and stylish bar / deli at 20 St Mary's Rd run by Suzy & Tom.  This lovely couple have quite different backgrounds (being a food photographer & plumber respectively), but are obviously united in their passion for exclusive, but familiar, wines; cheese that is to die for, exceptional deli meats and handmade truffles. So, we're pretty lucky that they met and decided to open up this new spot for us all to enjoy. Even though today is their first, I believe they already have bookings (you can make reservations by contacting Suzy - here is  THEIR WEBSITE  & here is  THEIR TWITTER ) and I really hope that as a community we get behind them. I know that Mr Rev and I will be paying them a visit over the weekend & I hope you all do the same.

Limeyard Ealing, new menu & competition!

Image
Today you're in for a treat, Limeyard Ealing have a new menu - launching today - for me to tell you about AND I have my first ever blog competition for you to go and try it for yourself! First and foremost though, I must tell you about the night I had at Limeyard last week. Along with some of the great and good of Ealing (note to reader - I do not consider myself to be either of those things!) I was invited along to try the new menu that Limeyard are launching today. Having been to Limeyard a few times ( more about that here ) I was pretty excited as I love the people there (special shout out to geordie waitress Sam who is pretty awesome!) and the food is always good, plus I was told we'd be trying the majority of the new menu...........including new cocktails. Unsurprisingly this sealed the deal and it was a date. We turned up to be greeted by a lot of cocktails to taste including the Smokey Joe (mezcal, triple sec, lime, grapefruit bitters & ginger beer served

SOANE'S KITCHEN BRUNCH O'CLOCK

Image
This morning I had the pleasure of experiencing brunch at  Soane's Kitchen , the new-ish restaurant, cafe, cocktail spot located in our beloved Walpole Park. Despite quite a few dinners there, this was my first brunch and it was rather excellent! As someone in their 8th month of pregnancy, I naturally avoided the bottomless Prosecco option (additional £20 for 2 hours) but compensated by having extra bacon (it's allowed!).  The shakshuka was really good, very fresh with lots of seasoning and perfect poached eggs - I also had a flat white, pineapple juice (much to the terror of my companion who was convinced I'd go into labour immediately) and sourdough toast. Additionally, we picked up a few cakes - initially intended for later on this afternoon, that actually got eaten with tea as soon as we returned from our walk around the park.  So good to have another strong brunch option in Ealing and I cannot wait for Pitzhanger Manor to reopen next door with the ut
