time they open and the girl replied ‘when I get here!’

I went in this morning at 7.40am to get a cup of tea before work and the girl told me that they were closed, which is fine despite the opening time being 7.30am on the Internet.

Radici restaurant review: Those wanting fireworks have come to the ...

For those who don't know it, Upper Street is a mile of homeware shops, estate agents, and terrible restaurants which - if anything - have somehow got worse as the rest of the capital's offer has improved.

Mazzei knows the drill and the Radici menu is suitably relaxing.

The recent tradition is to specialise in one of these groups: to be a pizza place, or a pasta place, or, probably, somewhere in Brixton, a zucchini friti joint.

Radici is a reminder that a decent restaurant - and Mazzei is far more than a decent chef - can do it all.

Radici means 'roots', but also 'rooted', and that seems exactly right: Mazzei has created a unpretentious, friendly room, with flavours earthed in southern Italy which lead to unpretentious, friendly bills.

Tuyo restaurant review: Fusion cooking without the confusion | The ...

But Tuyo in East London, just across the bridge from Broadway Market, has forced me to confront my prejudice about fusion food.

The restaurant offers a broadly coherent menu of tapas-sized dishes to pick at and share, designed from a pan-Mediterranean portfolio of ingredients and flavours.

Sitting at a table outside, on a fine summer's evening, the vague apprehension I feel as I look at a menu offering artichokes with both feta and parmesan slowly fades as I tackle a respectable Negroni.

Served on a bed of earthy, on-the-tooth Puy lentils, and adorned with kitsch-but-delicious squirts of avocado puree and goat's cheese, the dish comes together in a savoury clang.

Feta and parmesan sound a little odd and they are, with their umami and tart flavours, but the chargrilled artichokes are very good, as is a substantial serving of soya beans, one of many vegetarian options.

restaurant review: lima, the ideal place for perfect peruvian plates

His restaurant, Central, in Lima was also named as the world’s 5th best in those awards, further recognition for a man making waves far beyond his native Peru.

He isn’t at all harmed by boyish good looks and equally photogenic food, with his articulate way of narrating the cuisine of his home country, both spoken and on the plate, lending itself perfectly to the avant-garde Netflix hit series ‘Chef’s Table’ earlier this year.

Going to a Peruvian restaurant and not having cerviche would be like going to a bar and ordering a warm water.

The cerviche at Lima is exactly how it should be – really, the ultimate compliment.

The pisco sour is the must-drink here, as in any Peruvian restaurant, and Lima does a particularly fine one with bright passion fruit – as if allergic to grey and beige.

Tap & Kitchen, Northants, restaurant review: may the faucet be with ...

Thirdly, it has the Nene itself, the 10th-longest river in the UK, which joins the Grand Junction Canal outside Northampton, so you could, in theory, take a little boat all the way from the Thames at Brentford, west of London, to the Wash, avoiding the fleshpots of Frinton-on-Sea and the great gluteal convexity of East Anglia.

So Tap & Kitchen sits right on the Nene, at the edge of Oundle, in a little compound of new industrial buildings.

Built, one presumes, on the site of a little compound of old industrial buildings, relics of which T&K has put on show both inside and out as a testament to an earlier chapter in the life of the place, in the manner of the mastodon skulls discovered on the isle of Capri in the time of Augustus, which proved it had once been joined on to the mainland, and which the emperor proudly displayed in the gardens of his villa.

Da Maria: 'The kind of place that keeps London human' – restaurant ...

Now comes the terrible news that it is under threat Da Maria, 87B Notting Hill Gate, London W11 3JZ (020 7792 4491).

Meal for two, including drinks and service: £30-£60 Da Maria on London’s Notting Hill Gate is not much to look at, literally.

In an age of the manicured and the conceptualised, of restaurants with themes and slates, of couscous served on trowels and prices that make you want to heave up paving stones to turn into missiles as you cluster at the barricades, a cheap democratic eatery like Da Maria is not just a nice thing.

They share a landlord, Imperial Resources Ltd, which has made a planning application to extend the cinema’s foyer, by knocking through into Da Maria and putting the restaurant out of business after 37 years.

“We are proud to serve the vibrant community of Notting Hill and value being neighbours to Da Maria trattoria,” a spokesperson for Picturehouse said.

Roganic, London W1: 'Already a place for chefs, bloggers and ...

It has gorgeous restaurants – Jikoni, Carousel, Trishna and so on – but terrible people painted into a corner of blandness by their own spare cash.

Dinner has highs and lows, but then Rogan’s food is always a deeply subjective experience.

(I spend the next day researching enoki, and conclude that celeriac with enoki should be on every vegan menu by 2019.)

At least that gave me a tagline for a future Roganic PR push: “Spend all night with Simon Rogan’s gang.
