Bobo Social - Goodge Street

It seems like it is just my luck to choose restaurants with the most friendly staff. At Bobo Social, the team made us feel very comfortable from the moment we stepped through the door until the moment we left.  The 'Social' in the restaurant's name is fitting for the lovely atmosphere created by the staff. 

Peanut Butter

Bobo Social is a brilliant burger restaurant with a marvelous menu.  The burgers are made from specially selected parts of the country and is cooked in a charcoal oven with different single species wood to give the meat a fabulous flavour every time.

Beef Dripping Bobo Chips
Sweet Potato Chips with Truffle Salt

 The food is absolutely delicious and everything is full of flavour - as a good meal should be. For starters we shared a delightful salad of Plum Tomatoes, Basil Pesto and Roasted Pine Nuts and Smoked Haddock Fishcakes. The fishcakes are served in an incredible Mustard and Lemon Beurre Blanc sauce. We were all pretty keen to get on to the next course after that.  After such a satisfying starter, the main course did not disappoint in the slightest and I would say it is worth getting a side order as a wonderful complement to the burgers. 

Bobo Burger with Bacon and Cheese

I highly look forward to returning to Bobo Social to join their 'Experimental Burger Society'. Every Monday customers are invited to join the Head Chef as the restaurant becomes a laboratory and diners are able to experiment with their own burger creations. Choose from a selection of exotic meats; Kangaroo, Alligator, Venison, Ostrich and their classic Rare-Breed Beef. The most exotic burger makes a featured appearance on the menu for the week.

Guest Burger: In a While Guacodile

Make sure you leave room for dessert! With a fantastic selection it may be hard to choose just one! Sharing a variety of desserts is probably the best way to deal with this dilemma- it will be worth it.  

Dark & Milk Chocolate Mousse with Salted Caramel

It is also worth browsing the drinks menu for their great range of cocktails and liquors. A nice glass of prosecco will go really well with your burger.

Caravan - Kings Cross

On first appearance, Carvan looks modern and perhaps somewhat industrial like. On one side of the restaurant, long tables stretch across in a similar style as Wagamama but with more comfortable seating. On the other side, high  tables and stools suggest that it could be a quick lunch stop for nearby workers and students. 

The menu consists of some new twists on some old favourites. In fact, the menu is so tempting that it we decided to share a couple of dishes so that we could have a chance to sample various items off the menu. The menu is seasonal but the deliciousness is there all year around. 

The staff is really helpful and will bring you tap water before you even have to ask. They are very accommodating for different dietary needs but may benefit from having the usual dietary symbols on their menu.

Caravan is located about a five minute walk away from Kings Cross station and as you can see in the pictures below it comes with rather a scenic view if you go on a nice summer's day and sit outside.

Inamo- Wardour Street

Inamo is a pan-Asian restaurant with two locations in London. I was at the Wardour Street Branch so I will be reviewing that one.

The first thing you should know about Inamo is that it isn't your regular restaurant. Everything you need is quite literally within your reach. Every place at a table is controlled by an interactive projector. Instead of waiting for a waiter to realise you've been trying to get their attention for the last twenty minutes, you are in complete control of your experience. There is a mouse pad where you can explore the menu and send your order to the kitchen immediately.

If that isn't exciting enough for you, when you select a dish an image is projected onto your plate so there are no surprises when your meal arrives. Well, that isn't entirely true... The big dishes are not really big and so you can only imagine how small the small dishes actually are. It is quite expensive for the portion you get but the experience is worth a try!

While you wait for your food, there are games and plenty of other forms of entertainment on your table to make the wait pass in no time. You can even look into the kitchen and see the chefs preparing your meal. 

When you're ready to pay, you can see your bill on your table and just need to call for a waiter to to take your money. Also the table provides ideas of what you might like to do after your meal.

I would recommend this restaurant just for the experience. The food was great but not particularly filling. It is quite a memorable night out.
