Catching up with the lack of blog postings.  Have no fear readers, I have been dining out and checking restaurants and bars.  

From June 2015 during sips:  Aldine.  Their sips offerings were nice cocktails paired with a small selection of appetizers/small plates.

I stopped in at St. John Bread & Wine in Spitalfields London, across the street from the Spitalfields Market to catch up with a college friend who works in the area.  She had recommended St. Johns for lunch and it turned out to be quite the nice choice for a weekday "work" lunch.

We agreed to order many small plates to share, this is what I would strongly suggest for anyone hoping to lunch at St. John Bread and Wine.  The prices were reasonable, I had been warned about pricing in the London food scene.  The space and presentation were clean and modern with a hint of rusticness.  The waiters were slightly inattentive but it looked like they were pulling double duty behind the kitchen while waiting, just a fair warning for those expecting exemplary service.  I can let this slide for the food and price points.  I would highly recommend St. John Bread & Wine for lunch if you're in Spitalfields.

First stop in Copenhagen was to Manfreds & Vin for lunch.  It was recommended that the 7 course sharing menu was ordered.  7-course sharing menu – DKK 250,- per person.  Everything was very refreshing and relatively light.  The restaurant itself is small, intimate and has a large wine selection.
