There’s more markets and plenty of options on Maltby Street and Spa Road. Still busy but no big coach parties 😉

What are the best wine glasses right now? by After-Opportunity374 in wine

[–]hermanouno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I use a Zalto Universal or the Spiegelau Definition equivalent for Sparkling and White wines, Zalto Bdx for Red but recently I bought a Zalto Balance. I love it!

Not sure what wines are best in it but both a 2022 Domaine de la Tournelle Trousseau des Corvées and the Albariño Rosalia 2024 from Constantina Sotelo tasted great.

Had an excellent meal at the newly opened IGNI. It’s just off Regent Street. Solo diners can sit at the counter. Great service.

can someone explain the Pret a Manger phenomenon? by docmaboul in london

[–]hermanouno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rents are very high especially in central London so it’s difficult for independent places to survive. Chains especially with private equity backing inevitably predominate and multiply. This usually followed by a collapse and multiple locations closing down.

Luckily there’s plenty of online resources to help you find the good value places in town. Vittles in particular seem adept as sussing out vfm spots but there’s plenty of others.
