Yauatcha

If you are looking for a food experience, Yauatcha in Soho is the place to go. 

Michelin starred, exciting dim sum restaurant, where traditional Cantonese 

food meets modern cuisine. A lot of people probably walk past it, the architecture

is minimalistic with blueish windows, hardly recognizable.  But when you 

take a step closer you can have look inside and discover Yauatcha's dessert bar. 

A colourful counter full of french macaroons and gâteaux, which look like 

a piece of art. The atmosphere  and the design is very quiet and decent with no frills. 

The menu is overwhelming, full of dim sum and other delicacies. It's hard to 

decide what to take, but we chose the right things...starting with some 

lovely orange and lychee martinins, followed by  Lobster and Tobiko Dumplings, 

which were super tasty and absolutely recommendable.

    

Brick Lane Market

Brick Lane Market is a traditional market in East London with a big choice of vintage clothes, furniture, bric-a-brac, bargain food and edgy people. You feel like in a complete different world as soon as you are in East London (Shoreditch). The houses look different and people are dressed ways edgier and less fancy. On Brick Lane Market you find clothes, furniture and food stands on the street as well as in small indoor halls and shops. My favorite clothes and accessories shop is The Laden Showroom, they have a big choice of different independent fashion labels for every style.

If you love vintage cloths, cheap & good food and music you should definitely visit Brick Lane Market. Opening times are sundays from 8 am to 3 pm.

Princi

Princi is the perfect place for all Italian food lovers. The Italian brasserie is located in the heart of Soho and offers hot & cold Italian snacks. The long glass counter, the marble stand-up tables and the trickling water wall give the brasserie an unique Italian flair and timeless elegance.

The glass counter is filled with delicate Italian specialities. They have everything, from tiramisu over mini spinach and ricotta croissants to focaccia. At the end of the long glass counter they have a big choice of salads and hot food as cotoletta alla milanese, lasagne or melanzane alla parmigiana. Literally everything, I always need hours to decide what I want but usually I go for the olive-tomato pizzette, mini spinach-ricotta-croissants and some cake to follow.

Last summer they opened a pizzeria next door where they serve authentic Napolitana style pizza, a few pasta and meat dishes and antipasti. Breakfast is served until 11.30 am and is very good. To get a table you need patience, Princi is always full, no matter if you go at 9 in the morning or 11 in the evening. Prices are quite affordable.

Bill's

Bill's: delicious and unusual breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes.

You cannot stop looking around: the interior is amazing, it looks like a food shop with all the colourful cans, bottles and jam glasses on the wall. And actually you can really buy all those delicious groceries. 

They have a big choice of food, I couldn't figure out what kind of nationality Bill's cuisine is, because they have an endless variety of different cuisines. 

Italian pasta, American burgers, Libanese hummus and pita bread or African-portuguese piri-piri chicken, just to name a few.

For breakfast they have all typical types of eggs, like scrambled eggs, eggs benedict/florentine or  full english breakfast. Furthermore they serve unusual dishes as french toast with banana, strawberries, toasted walnut yoghurt and maple flavoured syrup. A new branch just opened in Soho the other one is in Covent Garden.
