London dinner - 4 November 2018

[Flashback]

So it looks like their refurbishment is overrunning, so now need to look at another option - can't win!

Harar in Vauxhall is an option (Ethiopian).

Bonnington Cafe is a vegan/vegetarian restaurant - tends to be 2-3 meal choices, changes each day depending on which chef is there. Have been there a few times, thought it was pretty good.

Daebak (Korean) is another option that looks nice, although I've not been there yet!

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I've eaten there a few times - it was far better than the Ethiopian places I tried in South Africa!

 

[aerotravel]

Thanks for organising! See youse there!

 

[Myrna]

Am here at Harar restaurant, at a table in the back of the restaurant. See you when you arrive.

 

[Flashback]

Pretty tasty - quite communal. I believe the guys took a few photos, perhaps they could post one?

Is it similar to any other cuisine you’ve had, like Lebanese or Indian ?

More like Indian I'd say but the injera (bread) you use to eat is quite different.

 

[aerotravel]

It was great to meet you guys! Dinner was great and it tasted like dosa (Indian sour bread).

 

[davem]

Oh NO I see this today !

I'm also London based, so if anyone ever wants a beer let me know!

Hope your sister arrived safely early this morning. Enjoy showing her the sights of London and around the UK.

She did indeed and I had no issues waiting in the Premium Plaza arrivals lounge (access using my Priority Pass that came with the Plat AMEX) - we've just walked in the door and she's all settled in
