Probably the best Churros Con Chocolate in London

Had a craving for some churros con chocolate and remembered this great new place in Westfield Shopping centre. Tapas Revolution http://www.tapasrevolution.com/ its as its name implies a tapas bar and its located on the second floor of the Westfield Shopping centre.

Created by a friend and fellow chef Omar, who aside from other things became famous when Gordon Ramsey called him the Antonio Banderas of chefs, in his program Gordon Ramsey´s best restaurants. Well it made him famous among the chefs circle anyway.

Go and enjoy the churros con chocolate... they also have tapas!!!

Your place setting is your menu so enjoy it!! Great tapas though some things are better than others. For me I go for the churros

Lovely churros con chocolate, I know what you are thinking, very little chocolate, but its just enough and the quality of the chocolate is very good. Top tip here the mixture of sugar and cinnamon that they crust with the churros gives it a great flavour and in my opinion takes out the oiliness of the fried churros.

Dedicated to my sister so she can be inspired

Was walking around Covent Garden the other day and found this really great little cafe called the TeaPod

Had a craving for some nice tea, homemade scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam.

Nothing like a cup of house blend tea, scone, clotted cream and strawberry jam (the jam was a little on the runny side) but hey on a cold winters day this hit the spot like there is no tomorrow !! 

Well this is a brownie that was sooo rich and creamy we actually left half of it on the plate cause it was sooo heavy... any other day and that would have been polished off, but the scone hit the spot tooo well. Worth going back to for the brownie and the carrot cake looked really good too!!! Mmmmm Max you have to have a look at that 5 layer carrot cake.
Very much in the cafe style, did not have any of the savoury food,  but have to go back to try a little sarnie !


I thought this was really funny cause I´m the first one to put a tea cozy on my head... it just has to be done! Like to know that I´m not the only crazy one out there and that I can be trusted ! On nice photos of tea related things !! haha

The tables were nice great little place to sit and have a cup of tea after trudging around Covent Garden
