Tom’s Terrace – Somerset House

While summer is slowly fading away, it’s time to get back to blogging. C’est la rentrée ! Hope it will last a bit longer than before.
My come back began with an article about the restaurant Fish! where I spent a lovely evening a few days ago, when it was still warm outside. The day after, we went with my friend to another new place to keep enjoying outdoor spots while it’s still possible!

I’ve got to say I really enjoy getting back to this “new-places-discovery” life 🙂 And today’s about Tom’s Terrace, the outdoor bar of Somerset House.

Ping Pong

Two bats a ball? No. Chopsticks and Dim Sum. Yes!
Dim Sum is the name of a Chinese cuisine. It’s usually composed of small portions served in steamer basket or small plate.

How does it work at Ping Pong?

Buddha bar

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” Buddha

We did.
Two weeks ago some friends of mine organized a nice diner at the Buddha Bar to celebrate my birthday.
I had already been there once for a drink and I had really enjoyed the place. So we came back to test this contemporary Asian food in a soft atmosphere.

Momo

Located in the very sweet Heddon street, Momo is a couscous place which has opened in 1997 and which keeps being one of the places to go in this area.
Like in Sketch (opened 5 years later by Mourad Mazouz as well), you enter in another world when you push the door of this restaurant. All night long you don’t feel as if you were in London but rather in a warm place like North Africa – decoration and music help you to get into this special mood.

Sketch

I’m gonna start this blog by writing a first post about a place I discovered a few weeks ago, near Regent Street: Sketch.

This place is just AMAZING as its decoration is very original and really different than anything I’ve seen before in London.
You can go there for the restaurant, the bar or the “Parlour” (tea room).
