Past meals
Thursday 28 September – Canaletes, Willesden Lane
At this popular local eaterie, it was a fun last-of-the-summer evening. We enjoyed an array of colourful, delicious dishes, which included Calamares, Garlic Prawns, Chorizo, Chickpeas, Garlic Chicken, Paellas, and the most popular dish ordered: Tortilla; accompanied by wine and a jug of Sangria. And the evening ended with a Spanish dessert, coffees and Lemon Turkish Delight.
Thursday 27 July – The Ivy Café, St John’s Wood High Street
With so many members saying “I love The Ivy”, it was inevitable we’d end up here some time; and with some away/busy, it gave us the opportunity to book the maximum number allowed. Roll on The Ivy experience … lovely décor, the restaurant was buzzing, we were well looked after by two nice young men, so we soaked in the ambiance and enjoyed a variety of delicious dishes – including the divine Cheese Soufflé and Chocolate Caramel Truffles – what a treat!
Thursday 25 May – Café Laville, Maida Vale
Members, looking radiant in summer-ish attire, enjoyed an ‘Italian evening’ at this light and airy venue, right on the Regent’s Canal; exchanging waves and cheering with passing canal boats. Dishes included pizzas, king prawn, crab, squid and meat pastas, and the evening finished with coffees, tiramisu and the magnificent millefoglie!
Thursday 23 March – Zin, Kensal Rise
Another good turnout for this newly opened restaurant in Kensal Rise. We enjoyed a tasty mixture of modern Moroccan food (and cocktails!), and despite a powercut which meant a couple of dishes suffered, we were very well looked after. Candles immediately appeared everywhere, creating a warm ambiance, and we finished with an Easter treat of chocolate eggs. Thanks again Desi, for organising another lovely evening!
Thursday 26 January – SUDO, Queen’s Park
Sixteen of us enjoyed a delicious Malaysian meal at SUDO, choosing a wide variety of dishes although not all braving the very hot and spicy chilli options! Many thanks to Desi for organising such a lovely evening.
Thursday 24 November – Spice 6, Station Parade
There was quite a Christmassy-party vibe to the evening as a record 18 members enjoyed a wide variety of curries and delicacies at Spice 6. Many thanks to Desi for organising, having taken over from Rebecca as Dining Club rep. And many thanks for Rebecca for organising so many memorable meals in the past months and years!
Thursday 27 September – Ravel’s Bistro, Fleet Road NW3
Rebecca excelled herself again, finding a perfect venue for dining club in Ravel’s Bistro, where twelve of us were treated to some truly delicious french cuisine. A good time was had by all!
Thursday 4 August – Crocker’s Folly, St John’s Wood
A record sixteen members enjoyed a delicious Lebanese meal at Crocker’s Folly, surrounded by marble and chandeliers!
Wednesday 18th May – Spasso, Walm Lane
Thirteen of us enjoyed a wonderful evening at Spasso – highly recommended!
Thursday 31 March – Dhaba@49 on Chippenham Road
We had a wonderful evening at Dhaba@49 and everyone enjoyed a wide range of Indian dishes, some familiar and some new!
